This family farm has been in the hands of a James C Culver or a descendant since about 1845. I have all original deeds except the original deed to James C Culver, which should have come from the Guinnip Land Warrant. There is an elaborate history on the Culver Family available. James C Culver was the son of the Revolutionary War soldier Timothy Culver and his wife, Margaret French. She died on the original property that was purchased in Tuscarora Township, Bradford County, Pennsylvania in February 25, 1845.
The accompanying outline descendant chart depicts how every owner was related to James Jarvis Culver. Owners are highlighted lined in yellow.

I have all the original deeds except the first Culver deed before 1845 when the James C and Margaret French Culver first purchased land in Tuscarora Township. They had come from Sheshequin, Pennsylvania. The second missing deed being that from Minnie Culver Wood to Marvin Brotzman. The farm was awarded PENNSYLVANIA CENTURY FARM status at the Wyoming County Fair in 2001, being registered as being in the same family since 1845. This is an unusual family but a proud one!
