Early Culbertson's in
Scotland and Ireland
Early history here is very
sketchy and confusing.
Culbertson's have been
mentioned, theoretically at least since the 11th Century when surnames
began to be taken up after the Norman invasion of Britain. The
earliest recorded candidate was from in a deed of 1097 by King Malcolm
of Scotland: Culuert, son of Duncan (a probable
relation of King Duncan whose story is told in Shakespeare's Macbeth). Culbert might have been
derived from Culuert, the "son" being added at some point from the
tradition left by Norse invaders of the 10th C. Later,
Culbertson's with their full family name were known to have lived
continuously near Kelso, Scotland since about 1400 (in the village of
Morebattle, 8 miles south of Kelso in County Roxberg). Other
Culbertson's could later be found in Kintyre, a peninsula on the
Scottish West Coast.
And then there is Jean
Baptiste Colbert, advisor to Cardinal Mazerin and French finance
minister in the mid 1600s who claimed to be descended from a noble
Scottish family. (We hope that Stephen Colbert will contact us to
clarify this)
Anyway back to the
Kelso area Culbertson's. Some of them left Scotland for Ireland:
All we know here is that [Name not known]
Culbertson, a son of a Scotch [Name not known] Culbertson
emigrated from Scotland to Ireland between 1660 and1685(?). He
lived and died in "Culbertson Row", at Ballygan, near Ballymoney,
County Antrim, Ireland.
(We're still trying to
work out the earlier Scotch Culbertson's and the branch of the family
that emigrated to N. Ireland in the late 1600s, defended Londonderry
in 1688 with the Presbyterian Covenanters against Catholic King
James II. Most, though not all, of the Culbertson's in America seem
to be descended from the Irish.)
Children of this unnamed Culbertson:

Lancaster Co., Pa., in what was afterwards Cumberland Co., and still
later Franklin Co. Pa. They called their Pennsylvania settlement
"Culbertson Row" after the Irish Culbertson Row. The "Row" proper
was seven miles north of Chambersburg; four miles from Rocky Spring
and six miles from Middle Spring.
