Joseph Culbert c1865 |
Over the
years, I haven't had much luck finding Joseph Culbert’s living descendants nor finding out many details about those descendants who are no longer with us. In this
post, I’m documenting the names of Joseph’s descendants in the hopes that
someone will recognize their relative’s name and contact me with more details
about their family. No living relatives are listed for privacy reasons.
If you’re
not a descendant of Joseph Culbert & Eliza Dempster, this may not interest you. So now would be a good
time to find something else to do, and make your excuses...
For those of you who wish to stick around, THE NAMES OF JOSEPH CULBERT & ELIZA DEMPSTER'S EIGHT CHILDREN ARE IN UPPER CASE LETTERS:
MARY LAURETTA “LOLLIE” CULBERT (daughter of Joseph Culbert)
Lauretta
or “Lollie” married James Ardeau Isaac and they lived in St. Marys, Ontario,
and had 3 children:

Edith
Elizabeth Culbert (1912-2000)
Harvey
James Isaac (son of Mary Lauretta “Lollie”
Culbert & James ARDEAU Isaac) married Gertrude Louella Alpaugh and had 2
children. I don’t know whether or not those children are still alive so I’m
not listing their names.
Edith
Elizabeth Culbert (daughter of Mary Lauretta “Lollie” Culbert & James
ARDEAU Isaac) married William George Van Valkenburg and they lived in Lambton
County, Ontario. Edith Culbert & George Van Valkenburg had two children:
Craig Van Valkenburg (1936-2018) and a daughter who is living. I’ve been in
touch with that Van Valkenburg daughter who married and now has a different
surname.
ELIZABETH JANE "JENNIE" CULBERT (daughter of Joseph Culbert)
Jennie
Culbert married Jordan McGillicuddy. They lived in Lambton County. Jennie
Culbert & Jordan McGillicuddy had 3 children:

Robert Hays Powless of Michigan and they had three children.

McGillicuddy (son of Jennie Culbert & Jordan McGillicuddy) married Elizabeth
Rouch and they made their home in Michigan. I don’t know if they
had children.
CORA LETITIA CULBERT (daughter of Joseph Culbert) married John Casper “Cap” Howard. They lived in Lucan and
didn’t have children. However, Cora & Cap deserve a post of their own on
the Culbert Family History blog at some point in the future...

Florence
Culbert (also called "Flossie") married James Walter Bryce and they lived in London, Ontario. Florence
Culbert & James Bryce adopted a daughter, June Bryce (born 1920). If June had children, they would not be biological descendants of Joseph Culbert.
BERTHA JANE CULBERT (daughter of Joseph Culbert)
Bertha
Culbert married John George Edmund Meyer and they had a son, Robert Meyer (born
1911). I don’t know if Robert Meyer married or if he had children.

Maurice Culbert
(1919-1998)
John
Chester “Jack” Culbert (1924-2016)
Maurice
Culbert (son of John Chester Culbert & Marie McHugh) married but I don’t
know his wife’s name or the names of any children they may have had. Maurice lived
in Calgary, Alberta but may have also lived in British Columbia because he died
in Richmond, BC. The alternate spelling of his name may have been Morris
Culbert.

Chester “Jack” Culbert (son of John Chester Culbert & Marie McHugh) married
Maxine Kathryn Myers. Jack was a taxation officer who lived in Calgary,

certificate, no other records have yet been found.

the Joseph Culbert – Eliza Dempster legacy die with them...
