John & Ann's Family

John and Ann has six children that we know about. With some of the children we have actual dates from the headstones and others we can not find to confirm. We know John & Ann were most likely married and living in Ireland in 1788 when their first child was born. We do not know if John and Ann were also born there or immigrated to Ireland.


Below are the six children, their spouses and 51 grandchildren. Of these grandchildren about 45 or so married and had their own children. Considering the time period that is a great statistic. 

More pages will be created specifically for each of the six children and their descendants
The first will be of James as he is our direct line.


Annie Lightbody (First Born)

Annie was born in 1788 in County Down, Ireland. The place is unknown for sure. She married about 1805 to Hugh McCulloch born 1777 Ireland and had four children in Ireland. 
Annie died  May 9, 1867 at the age of 79 and was buried in Debert, Colchester County, Nova Scotia with her husband Hugh who died 13 February 1861 at the age of 82. The same cemetery as his sister Elizabeth and her husband Anthony Peppard.


Located in the Debert Cemetery, only the
footstone and the base of the headstone
has survived.
The writing say "May 7,"  79 Years".
This is Annie Lightbody-McCulloch, Hugh would have had
his name on the top part of the headstone.






The McCulloch Children:

1. Ann,  b.July 8, 1806
2. Mary,  b. January 17, 1808 Ireland

**Charlotte's birth was the first information we had to confirm the place name. This placed the McCulloch family in this location. This Charlotte has also been reported to have died either at sea or shortly after arriving to Nova Scotia.

Elizabeth's died when she was 36 in 1836 giving her birth date at 1800. We are unsure if she is a twin to her sister Jane. Because Elizabeth died young and her grave site and headstone can not be located at this time, information is very limited.

Elizabeth married about 1825-1827 most likely in or close to Londonderry, Colchester Co., NS. She married Anthony M. Peppard who is the brother to Mary Peppard, the wife of Elizabeth's brother Hugh H. 

Elizabeth died 16 December 1836 in Londonderry, Colchester Co., NS. Anthony M. died on 3rd of September 1888 in Debert, Colchester Co., NS. Anthony did marry again to a Sarah.

  1. I just came across your post about John and Ann while searching for information on my ancestor, James McCulloch. Thank you for posting this information, I hope to read more in the future.

  2. Is your James a descendant of Hugh and Anne (Lightbody) McCulloch?

  3. I believe so. I have come across information that ties them together, but I have not personally researched records to verify what I am finding others have posted online as I begin my research on this line of my family. Grace Lillian McCulloch is my great-grandmother. I had up to William and Ellen McCulloch previously and am now trying to verify that they link in with what appears to be posted online through the research of others.

  4. I did find a reference to a marriage for Fred William McCulloch and Edna Mae Desrosiers and if gives a Carrie Vinton and James H McCulloch as parents for Fred. They were married in 1931 in Manchester New Hampshire if that matches anything you have.

    I found it on familysearch.org

    2. And yes, Fred William McCulloch is the brother of Grace Lillian McCulloch, my great grandmother. We moved right about the time I came across your blog last year and now I'm trying to get back to researching my McCulloch line and figure out the records in Nova Scotia as I have another line there too.
