"SAMUEL McCULLOUGH (deceased) was born in Darby Township October 10, 1800. He was a son of Samuel and Elizabeth (Mitchell) McCullough, natives of Pennsylvania. They were married in their native place, and in 1799, with one child-Alexander-came West and located in the Mitchell settlement in Darby Township, where Mr. McCullough died in June, 1800. He was the first white man that died in the county, and there being no lumber nearer than Chillicothe, his neighbors framed a coffin out of the slabs of a black walnut tree and he was interred in the old Mitchell Cemetery. His widow survived him over forty years, she dying in 1841.
Samuel was the second of two sons. When five years old his mother married John Taylor and removed to Darby Township, Madison County, where she died. In 1825, Mr. McCullough returned to his native township and remained one year, then removed to Jerome Township, where he bought a farm of 100 acres; all was in woods, and he cleared a site and erected a log cabin, in which he resided till 1833, when he built a frame residence. He was married June 23, 1825, to Margaret Robinson, daughter of Samuel and Martha Robinson. Mrs. McCullough was born in Franklinton, Franklin County, March 21, 1807. Of the five children this family were blessed with, but two are living, viz.: Elizabeth M., born May 4, 1826, married David McCampbell; Nancy J., born February, 1831, married John Mitchell, and died March 7, 1873; John T, born May 11, 1833; Matilda A., born February 12, 1836, married George Coleman and died November 26, 1872, and Zenas O., born April 29, 1845, and died September 24, 1869. Mr. McCullough, by his industry and economy, acquired large and valuable property, owning at his death 500 acres of land. His death occurred April 7, 1871. He was one of the early members of the United Presbyterian Church, and died as an Elder. He had been identified with that denomination since 1826. He was a life member of the American Bible Society. As a man, he was consistent, and as neighbor and citizen he was upright and honorable."
