Elisha Dickerson Cullen (April 23, 1799 – February 8, 1862) was an American lawyer and politician from Georgetown, in Sussex County, Delaware. He was a member of the American Party, and served as U.S. Representative from Delaware.

Early life and family

Cullen was born in Millsboro, Delaware, attended Princeton College, studied law, was admitted to the Delaware Bar in 1821 and commenced practice in Georgetown. His sons included Charles M. Cullen, an Associate Justice from Sussex County, and his grandsons included a lawyer, Charles W. Cullen.

Professional and political career

He was elected as the candidate of the American Party to the 34th Congress, but was an unsuccessful candidate for reelection in 1856 to the 35th Congress. Consequently, he resumed the practice of law in Georgetown. He was a slaveholder.[1]
