General Notes: Husband - Francis Culbertson
He was born near Chadds Ford, on Brandywine creek, Chester County, Pennsylvania. He came with his sister and brother-in-law to Venango County in 1795. He first settled on a farm near Rouseville, on the tract afterward known as the Buchanan farm, and which during the Oil Creek oil excitement was sold for five hundred thousand dollars. He remained there until 1808. At that time he moved to a tract of land situated on the Allegheny River, just below Eagle Rock. The town of Eagle Rock took its name from a large rock on the opposite side of the river which was a favorite resting place for a large number of bald eagles.
When a mere boy he commenced to deal in furs, buying them from trappers and Indians. He made a number of trips to what was the western frontier of those days. He had many adventures and narrow escapes. In 1794 in company with an Indian fighter and trapper, named Ricketts, he came to what is now Venango County, Pennsylvania. Both liked the country. They returned to their eastern home gathered their effects and came back to Venango County again in 1795. Ricketts settled near Plumer and Francis on Oil Creek where the town of Rousville now stands. With Francis came his sister Mary and her husband Hamilton McClintock. The McClintocks settled at a place that became known as McClintockville. Their farm joined the lands of the famous Indian chief Cornplanter. On the McClintock farm was located the famous oil spring of the Seneca Indians. Francis Culbertson left the Oil Creek Valley in 1805 and settled in the Allegheny River Valley near Eagle Rock in Venango County. He lived there until his death.
