Adam MacCulloch was baptized on 5 April 1738 in Parish of Dornoch, Sutherlandshire, Scotland.1 He was the son of Hugh MacCulloch and Margaret MacKay.1
Adam MacCulloch is perhaps a child who died young. It is also a possibility that the two Adams are the same child and the 1742 birth date of the other Adam is incorrect. His is the only baptismal record for an Adam MacCulloch in the Dornoch Parish Register. It reads, "5th April 1738 - Adam, lawful son to Hugh MacCulloch in Dornoch and Margaret MacKay his spouse was baptized." Although not proven, it is almost certain, however, that the parents of one or both Adams were Hugh and Margaret (MacKay) MacCulloch. The basis of this assumption is that Adam and Louisa (Brown) McCulloch named their first two children Margaret and Hugh.1,2
