Peter McNulty Edit Profile

merchant officer senator

Peter H. McNulty, a merchant and real estate operator and, concurrently, an officer from 1880 and a major from 1889 in the New York National Guard, was a multi term turn of the 19th century Democratic Party New York State Senator from Brooklyn’s 6th District.
