General Notes: Husband - Samuel Culbertson

---

Samuel Culbertson "of the Creek"
He lived in Franklin County, Pennsylvania, between Culbertson Row and Strasburg in Letterkenny Township. The tax lists designate him "creek."

On Oct. 6, 1794, Samuel Culbertson and wife, Martha, of Letterkenny Tp. deeded his farm to Samuel Nicholson. They then moved to Scott County, Kentucky; relatives in Indiana claimed they moved to Bourbon County, but court records there give no trace of them. They were found in Scott County, Kentucky, in this way: Descendants in Indiana said they had moved to Kentucky before 1800 and that Samuel's sons, Joseph, Alexander and Robert had moved to Indiana after 1800. Court records of Marion County, Indiana, gave no trace of any of them save Joseph. Joseph's descendants gave his birth March 27, 1767, and in 1892, a daughter of his stated that Joseph came from or near Shippensburg, Pennsylvania. The Scott County, Kentucky, court house was burned in the eighteen-thirties and most of the records were destroyed.

He "was commissioned Captain Dec. 8, 1776 in the 5th Cumberland County Penna. Militia, Col. Joseph Armstrong" (see Penna. Arch.). This regiment was in service in the Battles of Trenton and Princeton in Dec., 1776, and in other engagements. We do not know whether he was a captain before this date as Col. Joseph Armstrong was a colonel of the 5th Batt'n in July, 1776. We have not been able to find any service for this Captain Samuel among rosters of June, 1777, and the presumption is that he did not serve any longer.
