4. JANE3 CULBERTSON (John2, Unknown Culbertson1), born circa 1774; died 15 April 1840 in Venango County, Cornplanter Township, Pennsylvania; buried in Plumer Cemetery,920 Cornplanter Township, Venango County; married 1792 or 1793 ROBERT MCFATE, born 1765 in County Donegal, present–day Republic of Ireland; died 28 July 1829 in Cornplanter Township, Venango County; buried in Plumer Cemetery.921 Although I know of no direct line ancestors who were McFates, the McFates intermarried with our Culbertsons, Lytles and Jamisons and also were associated by marriages with the Shreves, McCaslands, Neills and our Morrisons.922 The earliest McFate of our concern was Samuel McFate of James Castle, Scotland, born circa 1675. He married Mary Dunlap. One of their children was Robert McFate.923 Robert McFate came to Sherman’s Valley (about half way between Lewistown and Shippensburg, near New Germantown, in present–day Perry County, Pennsylvania) in 1792. Robert and Jane then moved west to Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, where their children Isabella and Joseph McFate were born. The family then came to Venango County,924 where they “first found a home on the Widow McClintock [Sarah (McKnight) McClintock, wife of Culbertson McClintock] or Steele farm.”925 Robert was a son of Joseph and Jane (Culbertson) McFate.926 This Jane Culbertson, wife of Joseph McFate, probably was also of our line, perhaps a sister of Patrick and John Culbertson. See also Robert McFate (#12) of “Notes on McFates” section of The Oil Creek Flemings of Venango County, Pennsylvania, with related families, Volume 2. Bell (1890), page 654, mentions Robert McFate living in Cornplanter Township and dying 28 July 1829 in his 64th year. Robert was one of the first elders of the Associate, or Seceder, congregation of Cherry Run.927 See the Seceder section. An 1860 quit claim from the heirs of Robert McFate to Joseph McFate and John McFate is valuable in naming children and their spouses of Robert and Jane Culbertson McFate.928 Know all men by these presents that we, William Lytle and Isabella his wife, formerly Isabella McFate, of Crawford county in the state of Pennsylvania, Jane Miller, formerly Jane McFate; Samuel McFate and Elizabeth his wife; Robert McFate and Letitia McFate his wife, heirs and legal representatives of Robert McFate, late of Cornplanter township, Venango county in the state aforesaid, deceased; Jane Neill, Wm. Neill, and John Neill, heirs of Mary Neill, deceased, formerly Mary McFate, who was one of the heirs and legal representatives of the said Robert McFate, deceased; John Ward, Robert Ward, James Ward, Moses Ward and Mark Ward, heirs of Nancy Ward, deceased, formerly Nancy McFate who was one of the heirs and legal representatives of the said Robert McFate, deceased; Elizabeth McFate, Samuel McFate and Jane H. McFate, heirs of Samuel McFate, deceased, who was one of the heirs and legal representatives of the said Robert McFate, deceased of the county of Venango in the state aforesaid for and in consideration of the sum of one dollar, lawful money of the United States of America, to us in hand well and truly paid by Joseph McFate and John McFate of the township of Cornplanter in the said county and state, the receipt whereof is hereby acknowledged, have remised, released and forever quit–claimed, and by these presents do remise, release and forever quit–claim unto the said Joseph McFate and John McFate, their heirs, and assign our right, title, interest, property, claim and demand whatsoever, of, in, and to the following described piece or parcel of land , situated in the township of Cornplanter …
8. FRANCIS3 CULBERTSON (Patrick2, Unknown1), born 1767 in the Chadd's Ford area, probably Pennsbury Township, Chester County, Pennsylvania; died 9 August 1853 (“in his 86th year” according to Bell, 1890, page 654) in Venango County, Pennsylvania; buried in Plumer Cemetery,936 Cornplanter Township, Venango County; married 1805 MARY STEEPLES, born 1786 in York, York County, Pennsylvania; died 7 September 1843; buried in Plumer Cemetery. In a McClintock manuscript, no date or page numbers, sent to the Venango County Historical Society by Gerald McClintock, Franklin, Pennsylvania, there is a photo of Francis's stone, clearly showing “Died Aug 9, 1853 in the 86 year.” There is a biographical sketch of Francis Culbertson in Babcock (1919), page 752. Francis lived first on what became known as the Buchanan farms, at the mouth of Cherry Run (Cherry Run empties into Oil Creek near the site of present–day Rouseville), which is about a half mile south of Culbertson McClintock’s farm (Map 2). Sometime between 1808 and 1814, Francis moved to what is present–day President Townshipage.937 He purchased land at Henry’s Bend, in the Eagle Rock vicinity, on the north side of the Allegheny River, between where Muskrat Creek and Pithole Creek empty into the Allegheny River.938 President Township was formed in 1850 from parts of Pine Grove and Cornplanter Townships and also from part of Tionesta Township of present–day Forest County. Pine Grove Township was formed in 1824 from Farmington and Toby Creek Townships of present–day Clarion County. President and Pine Grove Townships were and still are sparsely inhabited areas of Venango County. According to Bell (1890), page 702: “There is probably less arable land in President than any other township in the county.” In 1880, the population of President Township was 416.939 Francis Culbertson was one of the early settlers in what was to become Venango County. There is documentation that he was in the area before 1800.940 Francis was listed in the 1800 census,941 living alone, for Allegheny Township, and in the 1810 census for Allegheny Township, at which time, in addition to Francis and Mary, there were two males under 10 and one female under ten.942 By 1820, the family had grown to eight including Francis and Mary.943 In 1850, Francis was listed as head of household in present–day President Township, with children: Jane, Samuel, Alexander and Hamilton.944 Francis Culbertson’s will was written 10 August 1853 and recorded 10 September 1853.945 His land, in President Township, which the will said he had claimed as “settlers rights,” was willed to sons Alexander and Hamilton (son Samuel received $100). Francis authorized John B. McCalmont to sign his name for him in his presence. No executors were mentioned. Witnesses were John B. McCalmont and John Walters.
12. MARY3 CULBERTSON (Patrick2, Unknown1), born 19 September 1773 in eastern Pennsylvania, probably in present–day Perry County or the Chadd’s Ford area of Chester County. She died 27 June 1863 in Cornplanter Township, Venango County. Mary is buried in Plumer Cemetery, Cornplanter Township. Her stone reads: died 27 June 1863, 89y, 9mo., 8days. Mary Culbertson married a first cousin, HAMILTON MCCLINTOCK, born 31 May 1771 in eastern Pennsylvania, probably present–day Perry County.
