Both of those spellings are correct and are his last name(s); they are just different transliterations of how you pronounce his name. He used all four transliterations at various parts of his life and on various documents.

This John McCullough AKA McCulloch, McColloch, McCollough, and McCollock is often and has been merged with sons and other family members misidentified; the confusions about this particular person extend back into historic genealogy performed about him and his family. Similar misidentifications and bad merges of the family members has contributed significantly to the snarl.
This is traceable back to his marriage certificates that he produced at the start of the US legal system before many standards that are taken for granted today were established; he produced a marriage certificate for no less than four different transliterations of his name, and this led to many people mistakenly believing that there are multiple people rather than one person with four documents with four different legal names.
These confusions are not well documented outside of WikiTree and is not well understood in general by people within WikiTree whether we're talking about individual editors or the WikiTree admins/staff or the data doctors.
A bunch of the family and friends of the family named their children (grand children and so on) in honor of this John or his parents which contributes significantly to the confusions.

My ancestor is Elizabeth and Ebenezer Zane by the documentation available and relatively well established here on WikiTree and on FamilySearch.
SAR membership records state Sarah was his ONLY wife and he died in 1770 According to his pension Index from Fold3, his wife Sarah was the widow who filed Nov 11, 1893. Find a Grave has him dying in 1778 with nor source listed - children with Olive are born after this date.

He has three different common year of death: 1775, 1777, 1778. 1777 seems the most common listed on WeRelate.com. Several members of his family are also matches for mergers with almost identical data, so this is a step in merging those matches.
