• Notes

  George was Sheriff-depute of Inverness-shire under his cousin, Simon Fraser, Lord Lovat. George was a frequent persecutor and executor of witches. He died 1748 in Aultmuiak, Inverness, Scotland in a fall from his horse. Public sentiment proclaimed that his death was the vengeance of all the witches he'd killed. George died leaving the estate of Castle Hill very much encumbered and his children in distressed circumstances. The estate was temporarily financially saved by the intervention of George's brother, the Abbé Colbert and then by the intervention of George's son, George Cuthbert in Jamaica. George was contracted in marriage (GD214/342) on 20 OCT 1724 in Inverness in which he is identified as "George Cuthbert, eldest son of John Cuthbert younger of Castlehill" and was contracted to "Mary McIntosh, only daughter of James Mackintosh, collector of customs at Inverness." On 12 NOV 1736 George authored a disposition (GD23/3/39) to Ludovick Grant, younger of Grant for various fishing rites on the River Ness, in which George is styled as "George Cuthbert of Castlehill, nearest and lawful heir to his grandfather, deceased George Cuthbert of Castlehill, and to deceased John Cuthbert of Castlehill, father of the first-said George." George is referenced in the following deed: Edinburgh Register of Deeds, RD3.246.1172; In: David Dobson, 1986, Directory of Scottish Settlers In North America, 1625-1825, Genealogical Publishing Company, Baltimore, Maryland, Vol. VI, p. 34; ISBN: 0-8063-1157-6. [Notes: This deed was written by George THOMSON, clerk, and subscribed in Edinburgh, Scotland on 5 APR 1787, and witnessed by William MCINTOSH, advocate, Anthony BARCLAY, Clerk to the Signet, and George THOMSON. This document indicates that Lewis CUTHBERT was Commissioner and attorney for his brother, George CUTHBERT, mentions that the estate owned by his father, George CUTHBERT, was sold to George's brother Alexander CUTHBERT, and also mentions Mary MCINTOSH, widow of George CUTHBERT, George's sister Magdaline CUTHBERT, married to James JOHNSON, and George's sister Rachel CUTHBERT, married to Simon FRASER.]
