Major Samuel's birth at Alexandria, VA in 1752 together with the sending of John McCulloch of Alexandria in charge of a party to Fort Pitt by the Governor of Virginia, establishes a time of residence (for John, Gary note) in Alexandria at around 1752. Then all the other children were born in Virginia, no place mentioned, while the two Commissions given in 1763 and 1766 establish the fact of his residence in Hampshire county, presumably near Romney and from there to the Ohio in 1770.'Samuel's will, dated 8 June 1748, and probated November 30, 1748: "Will of Samuel McCullock.
