Born 1837 in Ennisnag, Co. Kilkenny, came to U.S. as a boy with his father 1851, enlisted 1856 and posted to artillery. Colourful career till his retirement in 1901. Died 1918 in Atlanta.
He had married Mary Adelaide Cuddy in Baltimore in 1857 before being posted to Texas. My mother (who was a Scully of the same family) used to correspond with a daughter about 70 years ago. Does anyone have any information on his son another James Wall Scully .I heard he had been killed in France in 1918.
