The following is a copy of an original document belonging to Mrs. Lettitia A.
Harnish of
Alexandria, Pa. She is the granddaughter of Robert and Letitia Lytle. It was
written by James
McKee Lytle, their son. For five years prior to Lettitia Lytle's death, in 1864, she
was blind.
"Statement of Lettitia Lytle, widow of Robert Lytle dec, now living at
Alexandria Huntington County, Pennsylvania." I am the daughter of George
McCullough, who came from Ireland to America prior to the Revolution. He was a
stone mason by trade, landed at Philadelphia and from there went to
Northumberland, to erect a barn for a Quaker, when so employed he was
drafted, by the draft on the Militia, I think from the information I received this was
about the year '74. When there engaged he met with Jno McKee and some other
acquaintances who were living in Tuscarora Valley, and whom he accompanied
home after the service of the draft, when there he became acquainted with my
mother, Sarah Hoagg, in the year '75 whom he married and there he resided
when he again was called into service, about the year '76. After serving his time
he again returned home, and continued at farming, until again called out in '78,
Hugh Gray was with him in '78, and according to the family record I was born in
Feb. '79, after his return from the war. He died in Sept. '84 leaving but two
children living, Lettitia and Ann, the latter two years younger
than the older, My mother again married a man the name of Hamilton Grimes, in
the year of '89, by whom she had two sons and a daughter, named Robert,
George and Jane, and lived on in Tuscarora Valley to her death which took place
somewhere in the year '29 or '30. I the oldest daughter of the first husband was
married to Robert Lytle on the 6th July 1802 (by the Rev. Mr. Coulter, a
Presbyterian Preacher) and lived with him until the __ day of August 1847 when
he died at Hollidaysburg Blair County, Pa. My sister Ann McCulloch married
Moses Sturgeon in 1800 and lived with him until 1850, when he died. She died in
1851, both died in Shelby County, Ohio. "
