General Notes: Husband - Hugh Culbertson

---

Wooster, Wayne Co, OH

He moved to Wooster, Ohio, about 1824. There he was a noted lawyer and judge. He owned a farm just outside of Wooster.

He was born in Franklin County, Pennsylvania. His father removed to Westmoreland County, when Hugh was but four years of age, and settled on a farm. In the autumn of 1809, in company with Major Wilson and his uncle William Culbertson, he made a trip on horseback to Ohio. They first went to Trumbull County, and thence to Canton, then having but a few houses. Here they procured the services of a man named Newman to pilot them further west, starting out with provisions to last them a week. Before returning they each selected a quarter-section of land. Mr. Culbertson chose a quarter immediately south of the present site of Wooster, Major Wilson selecting the quarter-section that Mr. Culbertson subsequently settled on, and later owned by his son, Hugh Culbertson.
Prior to his permanent removal to Wayne County, Ohio, Mr. Culbertson made it many visits. In the war of 1812 he was drafted, and received the appointment of Quartermaster of the regiment. The detachment was organized to operate under Harrison in the West, but Mr. Culbertson was soon thereafter taken sick and compelled to return home. In the winter of 1822-3 he resolved to move to Ohio, and on the 1st day of April abandoned the old homestead in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. On the 23d of April he landed on the banks of Killbuck. During that summer they lived in a little log cabin at the foot of the hill, where the road crossed the Killbuck, on the land then of the widow of Joseph Eichar, Sr. In the fall they erected a house on their own farm. In 1824 Mr. Culbertson bought of Peter Lanterman what was known as the "old Yankee Smith" place, a David Smith having settled on it in 1810-1811; and to guard against disaster from any Smith claimant, or title-holding Smith, had all the Smiths in the county sign the deed. His farm being of a character best suited to that purpose, Mr. Culbertson at once devoted himself to the production of corn, and cattle and hog-raising.
In politics Mr. Culbertson was a Jackson Democrat. He was elected Associate Judge of the Common Pleas Court of Wayne County in 1833.
