Where did the Irish Scullion family come from? What is the Irish Scullion family crest and coat of arms? When did the Scullion family first arrive in the United States? Where did the various branches of the family go? What is the Scullion family history? Many Irish names are merely English translations of Gaelic names. The name Scullion was a translation of the Gaelic name O Scolaidhe, which means student. The recording of names in Ireland in the Middle Ages was an inconsistent endeavor at best due to competing dialects and languages, and the general illiteracy of the population. Research into the name Scullion revealed many spelling variations, including Scully, Scally, O'Scully and others. First found in county Westmeath, where they held a family seat from very early times. This web page shows only a small excerpt of our Scullion research. Another 187 words(13 lines of text) covering the year 1172 is included under the topic Early Scullion History in all our PDF Extended History products. More information is included under the topic Early Scullion Notables in all our PDF Extended History products. Irish emigration to North America began modestly in the late 18th century. At this time, Irish families made the journey to British North America and the United States by choice and after careful consideration: they were primarily in search of a suitably large stretch of land to call their own. This pattern would change most dramatically during the Great Potato Famine of the late 1840s. For example, the years 1825-1845 saw approximately 450,000 heading to British North America and 400,000 to the United States, but in 1947, at the height of the famine, it is estimated that more than 104,000 Irish immigrants went to British North America and more than 119,000 to the United States. An examination of passenger and immigration lists has revealed many early immigrants bearing the name Scullion: Peter, John, Martin and William Sculley all arrived in Philadelphia between 1840 and 1870; Ben, Edward, John, Joseph, Martin, Mathew, Michael, Owen, Patrick, Peter, Thomas, and William Scully all arrived in Philadelphia between 1800 and 1870..
