General Notes: Husband - James Culbertson

---

He lived in Chambersburg, Pennsylvania, and kept a hat store for a time. Later he edited the Anti-Masonic Gazette which he sold in 1828. (See McCauley's History of Frankhn Co., Pa.). Rev. Nevin's work on Churches of the Cumberland Valley states that "in 1826 James Culbertson and Alexander McCoy were added to the session of the Mercersburg, Presbyterian Church." Mrs. Martin states that after his mother's death, he went west to near Peoria and died there, unmarried. Investigation of Court Records of Peoria shows that on "Nov. 19, 1846, a certain attorney petitioned court for sale of household goods of James Culbertson, late of Chillicothe, Illinois. (Peoria Co.), deceased; that he died Aug. 28, 1846 and his widow Louisa is the only person mentioned." Would infer from this he had no children. I believe this is Gentleman James' son, although Mrs. Martin's story does not corroborate this. Court records of Tazewell Co., Illinois, do not give him; nor do court records of Peoria Co., Illinois.
