  1. Hello,

    My name is Gayle Hamilton McColloch, Jr and although I live near Terra Alta I am interested in membership in the Fort Henry Chapter, if possible, for obvious reasons. I grew up in West Liberty graduated from Linsly, West Liberty, and WVU. I am a direct descendant of Abraham McColloch, brother of Samuel, John, George, Elizabeth McColloch Zane and Sarah McColloch Coleman. Our genealogy is well worked out back to Sir Patrick McCulloch of Myretoun, Scotland, UK so documentation should be fairly simple. I can provide copies from (Cousin) Samuel W McColloch’s “McColloch Family of Ohio County, W.Va.” although I imagine Sam donated at least one copy to one or more to the Paul N. Elbin Library at West Liberty University, Bethany College Library, or Ohio County Public Library.

    I am also interested in the restoration and relocation of the McColloch’s Leap Monument if your chapter is still collecting funds as at least one descendant should have some skin in the game and I just learned of the effort. As a retired field geologist sandstone was not the best choice of materials.

    I am working on an article for the Clan McCulloch Society web site about our branch of the family’s westward migration to the upper Ohio Valley and so have been virtually exploring the many web resources that have been developed since I moved to Morgantown.

    By the way, ignore the differences in spelling, Gaelic and Low Scots are rather fluid languages. When writing of my ancestry I try to refer to them using their own spelling with a caveat like this one.

  2. William Bonar is my relative.Cathran Bonar was his daughter and was at the fort during the siege of 1777. Family stories say she witnessed Betty Zane’s run.
    My question is two fold.Would she be considered a Rev.War soldier as well?
    Next, I have never seen any written account of William Bonar being at the fort.
    However my family lore has maintained that he was. I am delighted to see one of your members has been approved as William Bonar descendant. Do you have any written source about William Bonar being at the fort?
    The family thinks he sustained a shoulder wound and may have eventually died from perhaps its infection.
