A deed made in Cumberland Co., Pa., Dec. 4, 1779, by Capt. Robert and Capt.

Robert Culbertson of Hopewell Tp., Cumberland Co., 300 acres for £3000, land adjoining Daniel Duncan. His brother-in-law or father-in-law, Col. John Davis, bought a portion of this land in 1782 and they participated in a deed of this to Samuel Blythe in 1782. (Robert's wife was Elizabeth (Davis) Irwin). Robert did not live on this farm. He owned a tract of 617 acres in Hopewell Tp. which he sold in 1801 for $36,000. He called this Culbertsonia (See Culbertson's Row in the Eighteenth Century, by John G. Orr), lying between Middle Spring Road and the Cumberland Valley R. R. In 1775 he erected a large stone mansion yet standing on the farm. (This land embraced the Himes and Nevins farms.) James Moore, who bought it, stocked its cellars with wine, built a race course and soon came to grief. Col. Robert on tax 1762. First deed to him Oct., 1763. He never lived in the "Row."

"He was one of the first settlers of Franklinton (now Columbus), Ohio, in 1801, and purchased extensively on both sides of the Scioto river, above and below, as well as in Columbus and Franklinton. Also took up some military land on Scioto. He was an elder and prominent member of the Presbyterian church of Columbus and signed the call for the first pastor, Rev. Dr. Hoge, of Richmond, Va. Near Col. Culbertson lived many families that had been prominent in Franklin Co., Pa., viz.: Stewarts, Johnsons, Jamisons and Lindseys, and a number of Culbertsons had married into these families. For years he was proprietor of a hotel in Columbus. His second wife was the widow of a son of Col. David Jamison, a noted officer in the Revolution, and father of Dr. Horatio Gates Jamison, one of the greatest surgeons of his day, who was a professor in a medical college at Baltimore, and who was sent by the government as a minister to one of the smaller European countries (From History of Jamison Family).
