Guide to the Samuel J. McCullough Papers
Open for research.
Samuel J. McCullough was born in 1809 in Dickinson, Pennsylvania. He graduated from Union College in 1835 and went on to Auburn Theological Seminary, obtaining his degree there in 1838 and receiving ordination into the Presbyterian Church the following year in Honeoye Falls. In 1842 the Philadelphia Home Missionary Society appointed him as pastor to Lawrenceville, PA; by 1843 he was preaching in nearby Tioga village as well. By 1849 his territory included Farmington and Richmond, PA. His name disappears from the PHMS Annual Reports after 1859, but he continued preaching in Tioga until his death there on December 20, 1867.
This collection includes copies of McCullough's annual reports to the American Home Mission Society, his quarterly reports to the PHMS, correspondence, and sermons.
