One of my main Culbert project objectives is to connect individuals to specific Culbert branches, of which some 50 or so have already been identified. In this research I have noted a growing number of African American Culberts, most of them living in the United States, who I cannot connect to any Culbert branches. I suspect that the ancestors of these Culberts had some sort of relationship to Caucasian Culberts, and thus adopted the Culbert surname.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Unfortunately, it is difficult to find early records concerning African Americans. What follows are some of the early records regarding slaves owned by Culbert and their surname variants. I have chosen to include these Culbert variant surnames because for many of these slaveholders I have found no other information about them other than their U.S. census enumerations, and their surnames may have been different in previous or later records. The individuals’ database IDs and Trees are provided for each slave owner (in parenthesis) should more details on them be of interest.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It would benefit all of us if we could come together to share a better understanding of our common history.<\/p>\n\n

In John’s 1859 will it states, “My servant Eliza with her issue I give to my wife Catherine Culbert<\/strong> for her use during her lifetime, and after the death of my said wife, I then give my said servant Eliza with her issue to my wife’s daughter Susan E. Bufort, the wife of Gilbert Reid for her sole use forever.”<\/li>\n\n\n\n
