CulbertsonsGeneration Two
2. JOHN2 CULBERTSON (Unknown1); died circa 1825–1826;898 married MARY MCCLINTOCK, sister of Jane McClintock who married John Culbertson’s brother, Patrick Culbertson. Mary (McClintock) Culbertson was still alive in 1800.899 Her parents were Francis and Jane McClintock—see #1 of "McClintocks." John Culbertson was a Revolutionary War veteran.900 He was on the Toboyne Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, tax list from 1778 until 1795 and was in the 1790 federal census, living in Toboyne Township, Cumberland County,901 namely John and one other male 16 or older, three males under 16, and three females (no ages given). In 1800, John and family were still in Toboyne Township, at which time John [Sr.] was listed as 45 or older, one male 10 and under 16, one male 16 and under 26, two males 26 and under 45, one female under 10, and one female 26 and under 45. Lewis Culbertson (1923, page 436) speculates on John Culbertson’s origin: “I have not been able to find any deed, will, administration, Power–of–Attorney or any record to give any positive evidence that this John Culbertson came from Delaware. The fact that John Culbertson, son of John Sr., St. Georges Hundred (K. K. in Section Third), disappears entirely from court and Revolutionary records in November 1777, and not found thereafter might lead one to suspect that he went to Toboyne Township, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania in 1778, as John of Toboyne Township is first found on tax records there in 1778.”
3. PATRICK2 CULBERTSON (Unknown1), (author’s direct line ancestor), born circa 1745;903 died circa 1818904 in Venango County, Pennsylvania; married JANE MCCLINTOCK,905 probably died before 1787 (when her father’s will was written). She was not mentioned in the will; whereas Patrick Culbertson was mentioned as “son–in–law.” In 1923, Lewis Culbertson, page 424, stated that the name of Patrick’s wife was not known. But Jane McClintock’s father, Francis McClintock, mentioning Patrick as a son–in–law906 in his will, would indicate Patrick to be the husband of Jane McClintock. Patrick and Jane’s daughter Mary (Culbertson) McClintock did name her first born daughter Jane (although no known son was named Patrick). After Jane died, apparently Patrick married Mary Kelly at the Center Presbyterian Church, Sherman’s Valley, Cumberland County, Pennsylvania, by Rev. John Linn, 26 May 1789.907 I know of no additional information on Mary (Kelly) Culbertson, nor whether she came west with Patrick to Venango County. Patrick Culbertson was on the New London Township, Chester County, tax lists from 1774 to and including 1780.908 Patrick was living in Cumberland County in 1790, re the 1790 federal census, namely Patrick and one other male 16 or older, three males under 16, and three females (no ages given).909 Patrick and family were listed on the same page as John Culbertson (presumably his brother) and Hugh McClintock (probably his brother–in–law—see #3 of McClintocks). Patrick was granted a warrantee of Land in Cumberland County 19 November 1793. Patrick came to Venango County apparently from Chester County, but when is not known. Letters of Administration910 for his estate were granted 3 February 1818 to Hamilton McClintock [Sr.], with Francis Buchanan and Francis McClintock as sureties. Debts against the estate amounted to $999. 66 and credits to $551.16, and therefore there was no distribution to heirs. Francis Buchanan was and early settler on Oil Creek, contemporary with Hamilton McClintock and two or three farms north of Hamilton on Oil Creek. Hugh and Jane (Nelson) McClintock (#63 of “McClintocks”) named one of their children Francis Buchanan McClintock, born 1859, and a Francis Buchanan Brown married Elizabeth Hazen, born 1843, daughter of Benjamin Gates and Rachel McClintock Hazen (#142 of “McClintocks”). Bell (1890), page 649, reports Francis adopting John Blood, born circa 1808,911 and Francis’s farm became known as the Blood Farm. One of John Blood’s sons, Frank (Francis) Blood, born circa 1838, married Angeline Stewart, sister of Andrew Stewart who married Margaret Jamison. For more information on John Blood and Francis Buchanan see #8 of “Notes on “Stewarts” in Volume 2 of the Oil Creek Flemings and related families.I could not find Patrick Culbertson in the 1800 or 1810 federal censuses for Venango County. Patrick’s son Francis Culbertson was in the 1800 census for Allegheny Township, Venango County, enumerated by himself, and in the 1810 census for Allegheny Township, but with no males over the age of forty–five in the household.912 Perhaps Patrick lived in the household of his daughter Mary (Culbertson) McClintock. In the household of Hamilton McClintock in 1800 for present–day Cornplanter Township were two males between 26 and 45.913 One would have been Hamilton. Perhaps the other was Patrick Culbertson, although he would have been in his early fifties at the time. Patrick Culbertson was not enumerated with Hamilton and Mary (Culbertson) McClintock and family in Sugarcreek Township (part of present–day Cornplanter Township) in 1810.914 The above information would indicate a chronology for Patrick
and Jane (McClintock) Culbertson as follows:
