    Hi , my great-great grandfather is Mathew Peoples of Glinsk , and his mother is Elizabeth Culbert . I was wondering if you know if there is any connection between William and Elizabeth .

    ( If it is the same Culbert family I do remember coming across a page which stated there was a wife from Glasgow somewhere in the Culbert line ) 

    Thanks .

  • E.M.,

    William was an older brother to Elizabeth.  You can see their family here, headed by James Culbertson and Margaret Alcorn:

    Not sure if you are referreing to the wife of a sibling, to a parent, or to William himself, but If you can find that source showing a wife came from Glasgow, that would be excellent information to document for this family!

    Thanks.

    Regarding "The links above don't work to find the book."

     You can find The Story of Jane and William Culbert from Glinsk, Fanad, Donegal.compressed.pdf here

    You may have to copy and past this link into your browser.

    This book contains the birth and death dates of William and his father and mother's names (William Culbert and Catherine Divvers). This controdicts the names given in the Culbert Family Genealogy Project. Also gives information on his brothers John and James.  

    I found information on John. His South Carolina will gives information about his brother's James and William and his sister Margaret. Also states that Margaret was married to William Peoples. There are Census Reports and a City Directory entery for him.

    All of this information is in a Ancestry.com family tree that I maintaintain. I can send a copy  of the will and other documents if you wish.

    I have forwarded an email that I sent you on 2/24/2017 that contains the PDF file of the book.

    Regards,
