Peter H. McNulty (1818-1902), a merchant and real estate operator and, concurrently, an officer from 1880 (3rd Battalion) and a major from 1889 (Quartermaster, 2nd Brigade) in the New York National Guard, was a multi term turn of the 19th century Democratic Party (USA) New York State Senator from Brooklyn's 6th District (119th New York State Legislature,[1] 120th New York State Legislature[2] and 121st New York State Legislature). McNulty apparently a few years after this service in the legislature died, remarkably, of "acute indigestion".[3][4]

Major McNulty's legislative tenure on each end just missed Theodore Roosevelt's earlier tenure therein and Roosevelt's later return to New York state politics as its Governor.[5]
