Hello Judy

Welcome to TalkingScot!

Could you post some more details, such as names, dates, etc to give members here a better idea, who we're talking about?

Yes of course. The oldest record I can find is for Robert D. Culberson, born in Indiana in 1814, he married Martha Figgins born sept. 1820.
He is my great, great, great Grandfather. I suspected that they may have come from Scotland but not sure.

Judy,

Have you searched for any of your family on the IGI? Here's the link

There are approx. 200 listings for the surname "Culbertson"

Black's "The Surnames of Scotland" certainly recognizes CULBERTSON as a Scottish surname.

I wouldn't ignore, either, the possibility of COLBER[T]SON, and even CUTHBER[T]SON.
