Been working on my line recently trying to piece some things together to get past one of my ancestors, Anna McCullough/McKillip.

Anna, who I use the last name as McCullough due to my initial research 20 years ago. Their son, Charles Beatty, is my GG-grandfather and his marriage listed his mom as Anna McCullough. Other records for marriages, obituaries, deaths and pension files have listed her name as Anna McCullop, Ann McCulongh, Mary McClulepp, Anne McKillips and Anna McKellips.

In a son's pension file there is an affidavit that says a Uriah Tucker of Lucas County, Ohio "was present and saw the John Beatty married to Miss Anna McKilleps (McKilless?) at Fort Covington, Franklin County in the State of New York on the 22 of March 1833." There was also a Thomas McKillips of Sandusky County, Ohio where John and Anna both died who says he knows that she died on 15 January 1854 of ??? fever.

I looked into Uriah Tucker today trying to find out how he would happen to have been at the marriage in New York and be in Toledo, Ohio. Familysearch.org has a death record for Uriah which states he was born in Ft Covington, NY in 1811 and died in Toledo in 1894. Another record also mentions him born in Canada in 1811. Ft Covington, NY is right on the Canadian border. I am not too worried about his place of birth but one thing that is interesting to me is his son, Eli Tucker.

Eli Tucker was born in 1840 in Venice, Ohio where my GG-grandfather was born in 1842. Eli's death certificate in 1924 lists his father, Uriah Tucker, born in NY and his mother a Sarah McCallup, born in NY.

I am hoping someone might recognize a name or the location of Fort Covington in their research. I do not know for sure what Anna's correct full name would be but with the current research I think it might be McKillip.

Would anyone like to run some comments, suggestions and stuff to me. Thanks.
