- George Cuthbert, presumably a relative of Daniel Cuthbert. George Cuthbert had arrived in the Province in 1753 and had already acquired 650 acres of land and 29 slaves by 1763. Apparently Daniel Cuthbert left Georgia or died previously to 1763, and his plantation fell into the hands of George Cuthbert, either through sale or inheritance. 1768 George died. wife, Mary Cuthbert, cousin, James Chapman. Dr. James Cuthbert, a brother, and Alexander Ingles were appointed executors. The Dr. James Cuthbert in question was the one noted above as "of Drakies", son of George Cuthbert, 12th of Castlehill. However, George 12th Castlehill's son George was born in 1748 and could not possibly have have acquired 650 acres in Georgia in 1753 at the age of 5! And he died in 1789 in Jamaica, not 1763 in Georgia. Thus, either Bulloch is wrong in his accounting of the family of Dr. James Cuthbert (a very real possibility given his numerous other errors) or the author of the Savannah Plantations book has confused the two Georges (the preferred option at this point). *** George's wife is said to have been Mary Cuthbert. What if Cuthbert was also her birth name? What if she was an unrecorded sister of Dr. James Cuthbert or perhaps Magdalen b 1731? That would make them brothers-in-law. Or, maybe his wife was Mary BRYAN (sister of Dr. James Cuthbert's wife, Ann Bryan. This two would make the brothers-in-law.)
