"James Cullinan was the father of Michael, Bridget, John and James, who emigrated to Australia and started the dynasties covered in this book. Very little is recorded of his life..." He
married Johanna Feighery (1814-1917), also a native of County Clare and both are buried in the Old Dysart Church graveyard.
This Cullinan family originated in Killeen, County Clare, Ireland, a townland which is located next to Ballycullinan (Baile cuileannan).
