General Notes: Husband - Col. Joseph Culbertson

---

He was born and raised in "Culbertson Row," nicknamed "red-headed Joe". "Was in Capt. Samuel Culbertson's Co. of Col. Jos. Armstrong's Regt. (5th) of Associaters, of Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, at date of December 8, 1776. Commissioned Capt. of 5th Co. of Sixth Batt'n (Col. Sam Culbertson's) of Cumberland County Associators, July 31, 1777. Capt. of Fifth Co., Sixth Batt'n (Col. Sam Culbertson's) May 14, 1778." (See Pa. Arch.) His commission as Lieut-Col. does not appear in Pennsylvania Archives. In his election as Poor House Director, in 1807, he was spoken of as Col. Joseph. Possibly he was a Colonel of Militia after the War. Records show he was not in the War of 1812. His farm stood at the head of the Row, on the east. Fort Culbertson stood almost in front of his house. His granddaughter, Mrs. D. C. Witherspoon, lived on part of his farm and was the only Culbertson descendant living in the Row in 1896. Col Joseph's farm adjoined Col. Robert's.
