General Notes: Husband - William Culbertson

---

He came to Washington township, Erie County, Pennsylvania, in 1797, as the first settler, and built the first grist and saw mill in the township.

He was one of the early settlers of Edinboro, Erie County, Pennsylvania, where he engaged in milling and farming. He was also Justice of the Peace, which office he held continuously for forty years..

Alex. Hamilton and William Culbertson, both of Williamsport, Lycoming County, Pennsylvania, visited the site of Edinboro, Washington township, Erie County, and selected lands with the design of establishing a colony. They returned to their home in the fall and spent the winter along the West Branch of the Susquehanna enlisting settlers. In the spring of 1797, they came back, and were soon followed by others. [HEC 1884, 793]

He secured and bought one thousand acres of land, and erected the first grist mill and later the first saw mill, operating those mills for many years. To him also belongs the distinction of platting the village and laying out and donating the land for Erie street, a thoroughfare one hundred feet wide, and he also donated the land for the old cemetery in the northern part of the village.
He was a soldier in the War of 1812, and while serving as a justice of the peace it is said of him that he would often saddle a horse and ride for miles to see his parties and settle their troubles before they were brought for trial before him.
He was in politics a Whig and was a member and stanch supporter of the Presbyterian church.
