Howard,
African Americans in the 1870 Census by Heritage Quest list this one (Which
you probably have already seen in your thirty year search, but since the
church was spelled "McCullough" Covenant Baptist Church I wondered if he
might be using that spelling in 1870 and I did not limit him to Burke Co.. GA
since a person could be anywhere coming out of the slavery years).
McCullough, Adam 32, Male, Black, Birthplace Mississippi, in Texas Harris
County, San Janice M593 Roll 1589 Microfilm Page 486 (part 0).
I viewed it on Ancestry Online Images
This Adam McCullough is on the original census page 4 inhabitant of the town
of San Jacinto in the County of Harris, State of Texas, enumerated on the
13th day of August 1870 , Post Office Lynchburg enumerated by Wm. T. Clayton
Ass't Marshall.
Line 27/Dwelling Number 31/ Family Number 31/ Ancestry Image #22 of 450
McCullough, Adam / 32/ Male Black/ Steamboat Hand/ born MS/ Can't Read or
Write
McCullough, Julia/ 24/ Female/ Black/ Domestic Servant/born TX/ can't R or
W
McCullough, Jackson/ 4 / Male/ Black/ At Home/ born TX
McCullough, Mary/ 4\12mth/ Female/ Black/ born TX in January
Bullard, March / 62/ Male/Black/ Shoemaker/ born Kentucky/ can't R or W
Blair, Washington/ 33/ Male/Mulatto/ Laborer/ born TX/ Can R and W
This is probably not your Adam but a steamboat hand could make money an
eventually become prosperous, a good reason to be missing from GA on the 1870
Census. Again another possible wife and a different family unit but then a
sailor could have a family "in every port ", and the 1870 Census does not
designate actual family relationships. Julia could be a sister and these
could be her children
Sounds like there were other Adam McCullers in the 1870 and that you now have
fresh leads and new prospective family and siblings for your Adam! Hope the
Walls come tumbling down
