On April 27, 2018, New England Historic Genealogical Society held our Annual Family History Benefit Dinner to honor author and NEHGS honorary member David McCullough with our Lifetime Achievement Award in History and Biography. NEHGS President and CEO Brenton Simons presented McCullough with an updated genealogy providing fascinating family discoveries. McCullough is related to Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Harriet Beecher Stowe, Emily Dickinson, Ernest Hemingway, and Ken Burns, among others. We were particularly excited to learn that McCullough is related to the founder of NEHGS Lemuel Shattuck.
