General Notes: Husband - Andrew Culbertson


He moved from Chester County, Pennsylvania, to Northumberland County, and later to Williamsport, Lycoming County.

He was one of the early settlers of Williamsport, Pennsylvania. Cyrus Culbertson said he commenced a grist-mill, near Williamsport, in 1773. Deed Records of Chester County, show that he deeded the last of his property in that county, in July, 1775, to James Clemson, hatter. He owned a tract of land along the river below Deerstown, near Lewisburg, Pennsylvania.
He was a private in Col. Hunter's Battalion of Associaters, from Northumberland County, in July, 1776 and served until close of the war. He was in a battle with the Indians, on Bald Eagle Creek, Centre County, Pennsylvania, on April 10, 1782, in which the whole force was killed excepting the commander, Major Moses Van Campen, Andrew Culbertson and one other.
He was a wealthy man, and at his death left 907 acres in Lycoming County. He was appointed Chief Executive Officer of Northumberland County for carrying into effect the orders of Congress. (Pa. Arch.)

Culbertson's Mills, the Culbertson Road, and the historic Culbertson mansion, later the home of the Minnequa Club of Williamsport, are interesting historic features of that locality. It is said of Andrew Culbertson that the way he came to settle at Duboistown, just across the Susquehanna river from Williamsport, was that, as captain of a company in pursuit of hostile Indians, the trail led to that locality. He saw the natural advantages of that vicinity, its heavy timbers, swift, clear river and fertile soil and took up large claims of land at an early date. He continued his residence at Williamsport the balance of his life.
