Moses CULBERT

1804 - 1860  (56 years)

• Name	Moses CULBERT  [1, 2]
  Born	30 Jul 1804	Letterkenny, County Donegal, Ireland   [2, 3]
  Gender	Male
  Birth Other	31 Jul 1804	Ireland   [4]
  Also Known As	1828  [6]
  	Moses CUTHBERT
  	Moses' surname was clearly written as Cuthbert on the ships' passenger list. A ship's passenger list was typically prepared by the ship's captain or his representative before the ship left port, and finished upon arrival. This list was created from the documents and other information supplied to the captain by the traveler. These documents were created when the immigrant purchased his or her ticket. Also, any required exit visas and other paperwork had to be examined by ticket agents before a ticket would be sold. Thus, it was highly unlikely for a person's name recorded on a ship's passenger list to be incorrect. This would suggest that Moses changed his surname to Culbert after he arrived in the U.S. [5]
  Emigration	8 May 1828	Londonderry, County Londonderry, Ireland   [6]
  Embarked age 24, Bark Asia, one of 211 passengers under the command of William Ward, arriving in Philadelphia, June 24 or 25, 1828.
  The ship Asia remained in service after it transported Moses to America in 1828. It arrived at New York City on 29 Jul 1829 with master William WARD and passengers from Londonderry. It also arrived in Philadelphia from Londonderry on 18 Jun 1832, with Captain William Ward and 195 passengers. [7, 8]
  Immigration	25 Jun 1828	Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, U.S.A.   [9, 10, 11, 12]

  The property purchased by Hannah Bennet Fleming in 1842, is shown in the name of Moses Culbert on an 1848 map of Delaware County by Joshua W. Ash. [I have a copy of only a portion of the Moses CULBERT property, obtained from the Delaware County Historical Society.] The property is also shown on a Delaware County Atlas, 1870, by G.M. HOPKINS and Co. as 60 acres owned by Mrs. CULBERT in what is now known as Brookhaven Boro. It is located along the west side of Ridley Creek and adjoins Brookhaven Road to the north. The property is also shown on an 1875 Everts and Stewart map of Chester Township, Delaware County, PA. In 1998, I drove by this property and noted that it had become a residential subdivision, Jewish synagogue, and cemetery. [23] By virtue of an order of the Orphans' Court of Delaware county, will be sold at public sale, on the premises, on Saturday, the tenth of November, 1861, at two oin[sic] the afternoon, all that certain messuage or tenement and tract of land, situate in the township of Chester, in said county, bounded by lands of Hugh Shaw, John Beatty, Charles Booth, and by Ridley creek, containing 4 ACRES, 3 ROODS and 4 PERCHES, more or less, late the estate of Moses Culbert, deceased.

There is a fine stream of water running through the premises. The land is in excellent condition, well fenced, in a good neighborhood, convenient to places of worship, schools and mills, about two miles and a half from Chester and Media, and one mile from Wallingford station in the West Chester and Philadelphia Railroad.

  	DIED. CULBERT. - Suddenly, on the 8th instant, Mr. Moses Culbert in the 56th year of his age.  The relatives and friends of the family are particularly invited to attend the funeral, from his late residence, Nether Providence, Del. co., Pa., on Thursday, the 11th inst., at 1 o'clock, P.M. [31] SUDDEN DEATH - Moses Culbert, an esteemed citizen of Chester township, died suddenly in one of the fields on his farm, on Monday afternoon last.  He was about to repair a panel of fence, and left home, carrying a heavy rail, for that purpose.  He was found shortly afterward, life being entirely extinct.  It is the opinion of a physician in the neighborhood, that he died of a disease of the heart.  He was of a kind and genial disposition, and much respected by his many acquaintances.

  Moses Culbert, age 30-39 7 in household: Other Males: 0-4, 5-9; Other Females: 0-4, 5-9; 20-29, 40-49 Note: This presumably enumerates two daughters and two sons, plus his wife and mother-in-law. This is consistent with the ages of the members of the Moses CULBERT family to date. The household listed just before the CULBERT family in this census is that of Peter WORRALL. This family had a boy and a girl under age 5, a female aged 15-20, a female aged 20-30, a male aged 30-40, and a female aged 40-50. As there was a WORRALL ancestor to the FLEMINGs, this family might be cousins to Jane FLEMING CULVERT. [42]

• Notes

  More information on Moses and his family can be found at my Wordpress site, here: https://culbert.one-name.blog/wp/?page_id=908 Nothing is known about Moses' time in the U.S. from his arrival at Philadelphia in Jun 1828 until Aug 1830.  There is no evidence that he resided with his brother in Wilmington, Delaware.  Moses migrated to Delaware County, Pennsylvania, and on 10 Aug 1830 he declared his intention to become a U.S. citizen before the Court of Common Pleas of Delaware County, Pennsylvania.  Moses was not listed in the 1830 Philadelphia business directory, nor has he been found in the 1830 U.S. federal census.  He was obviously not a head of household at that time. An unknown John CULBERT (I2425) household was found living nearby in Nether Providence Township, Delaware County from 1830-1940. A search for Florence SULLIVAN [witness on Moses' Petition for Naturalization, Sep 1833] in Delaware County also resulted in no head of household in the 1830 U.S. federal census by that name, although both a Joseph SULLIVAN household [Roll 150, p. 296, Nether Providence Township, with males aged under five, 10-20, and 20-30, and females aged under five and 20-30] and a Sarah SULLIVAN household [Roll 150, p. 298, Nether Providence Township, with no persons of any age marked] were also both found in Nether Providence Township. [46] Considering the middle names given to Moses' and Jane's children, Bennet, Fleming, and Morrison are known family names. However Snowden, Campbell, and Irvin are not known. It is also most curious that their son, James, was written into the family bible records as James Fleming Culbert, however in ALL other records found he was named James C. Culbert. In the Tithe Applotment Books there is a Joseph Irwin in townland 59, Garsuey, Taughboyne, line 301, as well as 4 Campbells in this Parish, plus 19 Campbells listed in Kilmacrenan, with one, a widow Campbell, in Ballyscanlon, line 395. [46] Review of deeds obtained from Delaware County - there are references to a deed for two tracts conveyed to Moses by Thomas McGrath dated 7 Mar 1857, and one of these tracts conveyed by Moses to John Lindsay on 30 May 1857. Neither of these deeds is found in the County's index of surnames on Deeds for Grantors or Grantees. More work is required to find these records. [47]

MISSING PERSON'S INFORMATION Name: Nancy Barrett Gender: Female Other: Father has had no news for many years Maiden name: McGraw POINT OF ORIGIN INFORMATION Home County: Donegal Parish: Conwal Townland: Letterkenny Barony: Kilmacrenan Poor-Law: Letterkenny LOCATION AFTER ARRIVAL 1st location: New York, Troy, 1837 SEEKING PERSON'S INFORMATION Name: Patrick McGraw Relation to missing: Father Gender: Male Date of advertisement: 11-13-1847 Contact name: Culbert, Moses Contact address: Pennsylvania, Chester township This may indicate a family relationship in the Letterkenny area of County Donegal, Ireland. The "Missing Friends" column ran in The Boston Pilot, the Roman Catholic newspaper in the city, from 1831 to 1921. Irish immigrants used the ads to locate loved ones after they became separated in their journeys to America. Some were looking for a spouse who skipped town, while others sought to unite families. All of the 31,000 ads shed light on the immigrant experience. Boston College is posting an online database of the ads that anyone can search. According to BC's announcement, the database is an electronic version of BC professor Ruth-Ann M. Harris' eight-volume set called "The Search for Missing Friends: Irish Immigrant Advertisements Placed in the Boston Pilot." Harris researched and edited the set for the New England Historic Genealogical Society. The first ad appeared in October 1831. Most of the ads stopped after 1915, when the Archdiocese of Boston bought the Pilot. Also, by then, postal service had greatly improved, allowing better communication among families and friends.
