from RootsWeb:
In the book "Carolina Cradle", author Robert Ramsay states that a James McCullough settled in Fallowfield Township, Chester Co., Penn. by 1739 or 1740 and went to North Carolina after 1747. (ref: tax lists) James recieved a land grant from Lord Granville on February 1, 1755, for 386 acres on the Catawba River in the Davidson Creek area. His two sons, Alexander and John, recieved grants in the Fourth Creek region March 25, 1752. Some of the grants were surveyed as early as 1749. James McCullough died in December 1757 and his will was probated in January 1758. His wife Elizabeth and son Alexander were named executors. He left land to sons Alexander, Samuel, John, and William, mentioning his grandson Matthew. Samuel received the homeplace, dying about 1771 intestate without heirs, so Alexander as the eldest brother then inherited the land.
