The unique Canadian surname GULLACHER is a derivation of the Irish surname GALLAGHER. GALLAGHER is still the most popular surname in County Donegal, within the province of Ulster, Ireland.
Hugh GULLACHER was born in Ulster, Ireland in December 1795 and immigrated to North America some time before 1834. He first landed in New York state, and married Margaret WALDRON in Albany County 1834. They had their first son, John there, then crossed into Canada and had their second son Hugh Jr in Cobourg Ontario 1842. The next 5 children were all born in Canada. Hugh and Margaret had 2 daughters and 5 sons. Hugh died in Ontario in 1887.
The surname GULLACHER is only found in Canada despite a few decades of back and forth border migration with the USA. All GULLACHER's are branches from Hugh GULLACHER with Hugh Jr, Ebenezer and David all having had children into the early 1900's and bearing the surname.
If you are a GULLACHER, you have a place within this small but growing family tree.
