I have always suspected that your James was brother to my Isaiah Culver who was in Washington PA in 1790 and later moved to Guernsey Co. OH.

In the PA archives there is a list of the militiamen in Northampton who were imprisoned 1783 for attacking Connecticut settlers--the great land battle of the Wyoming Valley. On that list is an Isaiah and a James Colver/Culver (spelled both ways on separate docs).


There is also a marriage in Cumberland Co. PA 1796 between what appears to be Isaiah's son Levi and an Agnew--other Agnews also in Washington/Westmoreland and later in Guernsey.

Big Spring Presbyterian Church by Swope (1898). The church was organized by Presbyterians in the locality of present Newville, Cumberland Co., not later than 1737. On page 55 we find marriages performed by Rev. Samuel WILSON.
CULVER, Levi - Nancy AGNEW, Dec 22, 1796.

However, I have searched Northampton records--no connections at all between Isaiah and James and the Ephraim Colver who was in Bucks earlier. No other records for Isaiah and James in Northampton, though I did a pretty exhaustive search.

See my message below (#1795) about these two men and several other Culver men I found in early Northampton records. My hunch is still that they came from NJ to PA--right on the county line, but I've never found evidence of Isaiah or the others in NJ--though have not done the kind of search I did in PA records.
