  • Notes: 

  • Lewis Culbertson's revised Genealogy of the Culbertson and Culberson Families (1923) profiles Priscilla Culbertson, her husband and children on page 461. On that page he mentions omitting her name from page 111 which would have had her as a daughter of John Culbertson and his wife Mary Marbury. On the other hand he states that she can be found on page 114 which still lists her among the children of John and Mary Culbertson. The omission on page 111 was apparently due to receiving Priscilla's information late from a Joel Shackelford.
