General Notes: Husband - Samuel Culbertson

---

He left Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, in December, 1753 and moved to Virginia. Andrew Culbertson made settlement on a piece of land known as "Culbertson's Bottom", and after living on it for a time, had to abandon it because of the Indians, and he sold it to his brother Samuel in 1754, who lived on it for a while, but he, too, had to abandon it for fear of the Indians. Two other men settled on the land which led to a long law suit. It was finally settled in U. S. Supreme Court in favor of Samuel Culbertson, because he had first settled the land. This case was concluded in 1786. This land in 1779 was in Rockbridge County, Virginia, between the Cow Pasture and Greenbrier River. Power of Atty. was given May 19, 1779 by Samuel Culbertson of Washington County, North Carolina to A. Reid of Rockbridge County, Virginia, relative to this land. This data shows he did not live in Virginia during the Revolution and was not the Doctor of the 12th Va. line. He lived in Washington County, North Carolina, in 1787, as shown by a deed of Power of Atty. to S. Colwell on file in Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, in which he authorizes him to sell land in Cumberland County. The deed says he is a planter and is witnessed by his son, Joseph. Johnston's "Middle New River Settlements" says that "Culbertson Bottom" is near present Hinton, West Virginia (Crump's Bottom). The old Washington County, North Carolina, occupied the eastern part of Tennessee in 1787. When the State of Tennessee was formed in 1796 that portion of North Carolina in which Samuel lived was included in Tennessee. Old Washington County, North Carolina was formed in 1777 from Orange County, North Carolina.

The last name of Samuel's first wife is not known, nor is that of his second. Someone had a record which claimed that Mary Duncan was the wife of Irish Samuel the third Pennsylvania Row brother. This was an error. It is possible that Samuel of Washington County, North Carolina, married a Mary Duncan for his first wife.
