General Notes: Husband - John Culbertson

---

He paid taxes in Letterkenny Township in 1762. In his father's will John was cut off with five shillings. Just why we do not know but it is possible that his father had given John land and money in sufficient amount before death to compensate him; but this led to a lawsuit and in 1809 his son Samuel of Westmoreland County, gave power of attorney to his brother Alex, to bring suit in his name, as administrator of John against the administrators of (Irish) Samuel, to make demand and to sue to recover a legacy left by said (Irish) Samuel of Letterkenny Township, Cumberland County.
John and his wife Margaret sold 424 acres in Letterkenny Township, for £1485 in 1786. Recites that land was given to him by his father Samuel Culbertson in 1785 and that said land was sold to his father in 1760. He then (1786) moved to Hempfield Township, Westmoreland County, purchasing part of the land on which Hannastown (the first county seat) was located (about 400 acres). He died intestate and letters of administration were issued Mar. 28, 1797, to wife, Margaret, and son, Samuel. At this date all of the children were given as being of age, save Martha and Alexander over 14 years, and Margaret under fourteen.
