"..the McCulloughs left Argylshire, Scotland about 1660. They moved to Ireland near Castleblaney in the County of Monaghan close to the border of County Armagh. They were a farming family at the time they emigrated to Canada in 1816. The voyage took 11 weeks. Patrick 1765-1845 and his wife Mary Hamilton brought 6 sons and 2 daughters with them to Canada and settled in Eramosa Twp. Patrick brought enough money to buy 200 acres as well as send his oldest son Robert to study at Trinity College, Dublin, Ireland. Robert returned later to practice medicine at Georgetown.
