- Alexander Culbertson, was a soldier in General Braddock's
army in the unfortunate expedition against Fort DuQuesne, now Pittsburgh, in 1755, and when the settlements on the whole Pennsylvania frontier were threatened with annihilation by Indians, incited by the French and left unrestrained by the disorganization of the Provincial forces as a result of the defeat at Braddock's Field. Alexander raised a company among his neighbors, of which he was commissioned Captain in Lieutenant-colonel Armstrong's Second Pennsylvania regiment and marched against the Indians. He was killed in a battle with the Indians at McCord's Point, Franklin county, April 2,
1756. He had probably held a captain's commission prior to this time, as we find him in command of a company at Fort Augusta, now Sunbury, in 1755.
