Under 'Bellaghy - Curios', it states many Scullions went to Philadelphia. I'm related to several that settled in Jordan, New York. All are buried in St. Patrick's cemetery (I count 9).
Other immigrants were Agnew, McPeak and McNally.

I am the grandaughter of Henry McPeake from Northern Ireland. Henry is the son of Neil/Neal McPeake and Bridget Mulholland married 1890. Other siblings in the family were Frank, John, Mary Teresa. Two other siblings emigrated to New York in the early 1900's. If anyone has any information, no matter how remote, I would be grateful to hear it.
Susan Singler - Nov '06
I'm Zera Susan McPeak Singler,
My father was Zera Charles McPeak of Henderson, NC.
His father was Zera Covelia McPeak. According to my father, we are descendants of Jonathan McPeak of "somewhere in Ireland" I think we may also have a Cornelius McPeak in the family tree.
I would love to visit Ireland and connect with other McPeaks. Any ideas as to where I might start?

Cristina Lea (McPeak) Ware - Jan '06
My name is Cristina (McPeak) Ware. My part of the McPeak family lives in the Warren and White Counties of Tennessee in America. I am unsure of when the McPeaks immigrated to America, but we came through New York and part of the family settled in Tennessee and it has been said the rest went West. I wondered if any one had learned of our branch of family and had information? We came here from Ireland somtime before the 1800's, but we probably originated in England. I would appreciate anything you could supply.

Cathy - October '05
I am trying to find any information on Jane Scullan [Scullion] and John McLean/McErlane. I have just found out that these are my Gt. Gt. Grandparents. They are the Parents of Catherine McErlane, who married John Houston in Magherafelt, Co. Londonderry on June 06th. 1865. I have been able to trace Catherine and John to Glasgow, Scotland and have all of their children.....but can't find any info. on either Catherine's Parents or John's Parents.
John's Parents are Robert Houston and Helen McLellan.... I believe they are from the area of Ballynease, in the parish of Ballyscullion. Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Sincerely, Cathy
Alan Scullion - August '05
I am a Scullion residing in Hamilton, Scotland very near Blantyre although i am not aware of any of my relatives resding there.
I have traced my Gt Grandfather John Scullion (via world war 1 army records) to Glenfane in County Leitrim, where the name drifts into Scollin or Scollon his father was Owen and her appears to be on the Griffiths Valuation in the 1850's as Scollin in a townland called Carrickrevagh, Parish Cloonclare.
I have a modest website with my limited research - www.scullionhistory.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk
Any info welcome.

Scullion Family Tree is being worked on now for those who settle in Jordan, NY and their families who remained in the area for generations. My grandmother, Mary E. Scullion, married in the USA Richard McPeak, also from Bellaghy area.
Lee Scullion - May '05
My Grandfathers sisters Lizzie and Rose went to America, think they went to Washington. The Scullion's in our family anyway stayed in Blantyre in Glasgow, but came from Ireland. I am trying to do my family tree. We are in Scotland and England now. American Scullions have set up a family site which is www.scullion.com - have a look.

I understand that my father's gg grandfather and two brothers came to the United States in the early 1800's. Would like to hear from any McPeaks in this area to see if any are related?

My Grandmother, Ann Scullion daughter of James Scullion and Jane Cassidy, emigrated to Montreal Canada as did 3 of her brothers and 1 sister - 1880's-1990. She married my grandfather James McNichol (possibly spelled McNicholl) in Montreal who was also from Bellaghy and Toomebridge.
I am interested to know where my great-grandparents would be buried, if they died before 1910
