br Baptism Records, Kilmacrenan Presbyterian Church Parish Registers, County Donegal, Ireland.  Obtained in 2002 from Donegal Ancestry, Ramelton, County Donegal.  They searched all baptism records in their database.  They did not find a marriage record for Moses CULBERTSON and Rebecca WILSON, nor did they find any relevant death records or gravestone inscriptions available for the Kilmacrenan area for these families.  They also included the civil non-Catholic marriages for the Kilmacrenan area in their searches.  Civil birth and death registers could also be searched for a fee of $20 per record.  They reported that they have a marriage record for Moses CULBERT and Martha PATTERSON in 1873, as well as marriage records that appear to relate to their daughters, Mary, Margaret, and Fanny Jane CULBERT.  They also noted records for marriages of three other daughters of Moses CULBERT/CULBERTSON in 1854, 1862 and 1865.  Finally, they noted a marriage record in 1898 for Rebecca CULBERTSON.  The fee is $20 per per record to obtain a transcript.  They also said the 1901 census return shows two CULBERTSON households in Ballyscanlan Lower townland.  The fee is also $20 per record transcript.

gv Griffith's Primary Valuation, 1848-1864  1857 for County Donegal.  Index available.  Compiled by Richard Griffith, the Commissioner of Valuation, this resource lists the prime lessee and the lessor of every property, both buildings and land, in Ireland.  Under each townland or street is given a brief description of each property, with the acreage and the valuation due.  It was a tax, based upon the productive capacity of the land and the rent potential of the buildings.  It was initially intended to raise money for the maintenance of the poor and destitute of each parish, including the upkeep of the local workhouse.  Because Griffith's Valuation was taken about one generation after the Tithe Applotment (1828-1838), where the same family is found for the same townland in both records, it suggests a possible link.  As married women did not have property rights in the 1800s, any woman named was either a widow or a spinster (never married).  This survey serves as a default for the 1851 national census, which no longer exists.
