John Cuthbert: An Overview
We know
about John Cuthbet from the following sources:
1. Information from Richard Brown and Heather Sharpe listed on their excellent family history website
http://freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~rykbrown/index.htm#Introduction
2. 'The Cuthberts, Barons of Castle Hill and Their Descendants in South
Carolina and Georgia', by Dr. J.G.B. Bulloch, MD, Washington, DC, April 1908.
We know very little about John Cuthbert except that he lived at Casltehill, Inverness. Did he die before his father died?
In Inverness at this time there were quite a few people with the family name of Cuthbert and so it is difficult to be certain how everyone was linked.
There are in existence some portraits that may be of John and Jean Cuthbert .
