I found an old Culbertson Genealogy, by Lewis R. Culbertson, and a revised edition from 1923. It has no index and is not organized in an easy-to-follow manner. The Culbertsons were a very large extended family.
Lately some of us have been looking for one Nathaniel Wilson whose daughter Sarah married Samuel Crocket of Cumberland (now Perry) Co, PA. Before 1750, Cumberland Co was part of Lancaster Co, PA.

Before 1750, Cumberland Co was part of Lancaster Co, PA.There was a Nathaniel Wilson who was associated with some Culbertsons. By skipping and scanning, I found that one Nathaniel Wilson was guardian of Jane Culbertson, daughter of Andrew. Andrew was kin to a number of Culbertsons of "Culbertson Row" in Hopewell Twp near Shippensburg, PA. Andrew seems to have been prosperous when he died in 1746. There is a deed (A-7, 10) where Allen Killogh, John Miller, John Findley, Nathaniel Willson, and John McKenny were "arbiters" appointed by Janet (widow of Andrew) and Samuel Culbertson, executors, to help settle the estate. Some of these persons were associated with Middle Springs Presbyterian Church.

William Culbertson was the son of Samuel Culbertson (d 1749). Andrew Culbertson (d 1746) was Samuel's brother and thus was an uncle of the William Culbertson of East Pennsborough Twp, Cumberland Co, PA who had land adjoining Alexander Crocket.

I don't know whether this will turn out to mean anything.
