McMullen Genealogy
Family History of the McMullens - Fannett & Tell Townships, Pennsylvania

Update: June 2016

This McMullen website tells the story of the ancestors of Harvey McMullen. Our early immigrant McMullens were seven brothers whose father was Eneas McMulen of Tyrone County, Ulster, Ireland.

Over the years many of the descendants of Eneas and his seven brothers remained in Fannett and Tell Townships. Most had large families and tended to name their male children after uncles, which added difficulty to the research. However, our story is about the descendants of the eldest brother, Eneas.

To read the latest information on our ancestors, click on the Family History tab. The Eneas McMullen Ancestry Chart and the McMullen DNA Results have also been updated.

This information all superceeds the September 2007 information detailed below.

Update: September 2007

This McMullen Website tells the story of James McMullen of Fannett Township, Pennsylvania, who with Alexander Irwin traveled from Ireland to the United States about 1796. Many of the descendants of James remained in Fannett and Tell Townships, Pennsylvania. Later generations are also discussed, particularly those of Harvey McMullen.

My research continues, and from time to time I hope to update the contents. So what you see today may not be the final story.

Still undetermined as of September 2007 are:

  •  The name of the wife of James McMullen (ca 1765 - 1839), and where James is buried;
  •  How the family became Catholic since most Scots-Irish were Presbyterian;
  •  If and how the family is related to the seven McMullen brothers who were in Franklin Township during the  American Revolution.
Take a few minutes to read about our family.  Your suggestions and comments are welcome.
