Inspired by the Westminster Congregational Church (1829) in Providence, Rhode Island, where he was first stationed after graduation from West Point. Thank you for your information.

If your family has any kind of evidence, I'd love to add it here ... an intriguing possibility. Good hunting on your genealogy! Hi Donnell,

I found no mention of a previous wife when researching Cullum for this blog piece, but who knows what I might have missed. If your family has any kind of evidence, I’d love to add it here … an intriguing possibility.

Good hunting on your genealogy!

I am told by my mother and uncle that George W. Cullum was my great, great grandpa but I cannot find any information about this. I am told that he had a wife before Elizabeth Hamilton and with her had two children but this is all I know. Do you know if this is true? No other information that I have suggests that George W. Cullum had children. Sincerely, Donnell Curiosity has gotten the best of me as I read this article. I am told by my mother and uncle that George W.

Yours is an illustrious family in many generations, and it was good to find the connections when pulling threads from Cullum. I'm glad you found us!

Very informative. Elizabeth Hamilton died 9/15/1884. We have not talked much about Halleck and Cullum in the family but these men were great leaders. Even though there are no Hamilton family blood descendants of either of the warriors, we will be teaching our children about their contributions to our country. Henry Halleck and Elizabeth did have a son (Henry) but he died in 1882 at the age of 26; two years before Cullum passed away. BTW, Schuyler Hamilton, brother and friend lived until 1903.
