General Notes: Husband - James Culbertson


He was killed by Indians in 1777. At the time of his death he lived in Northumberland County, Pennsylvania. His widow and some of their children moved to Livingston County, New York, in what is now Groveland Township.

He was commissioned by Gov. Denny, of Pennsylvania, May 1, 1758, to be Ensign of a company, in Col. Hugh Mercer's Battalion (Regt.), the Third Battalion of Pennsylvania Provincial Troops, in the French and Indian War. Ensign James marched to Fort Duquesne in winter of 1758.
He was in the Revolution, as well as his son, John, and while they were at home on a furlough and eating their dinners, the Indians took them by surprise and shot them down. His children (it is asserted) were granted a magnificent pension of almost a whole county in Virginia, or Maryland, but for some reason did not take up the claim, and their papers were foolishly destroyed. (Evidence of this is lacking.) The Pennsylvani Archives, at Harrisburg, do not give his record, which was no doubt destroyed in Philadelphia in 1800. His descendants had his commission in the French and Indian War. There was no administration or will of his, nor deeds recorded in Lancaster or Chester counties, hence he must have lived in Northumberland County at his death. His brother Andrew probably bought his land, as deeds show that Andrew's Executors sold the "James Culbertson tract of 213 acres in 1797."
