• Notes

  James immigrated to California, USA and then settled in Savannah, Chatham County, Georgia, USA. In 1768, George Cuthbert, 2nd of Drakies Plantation in Georgia died without heirs. Dr. James Cuthbert in Savannah, Georgia, described as a "brother" was named as one of the executors, with his sons Joseph and George named as heirs. It is impossible for James to have been a brother-german to the late George, but he may have been a brother-in-law by unknown means or the term "brother" may have been used quite loosely. James presumably died prior to 23 Jul 1783 as his son Joseph was next in line to inherit Castlehill, however James is listed in a 1783 Georgia immigration document along with his son Joseph. Note - The 1790 Reconstructed Census for Georgia for 1790 lists only the following Cuthberts in all of Georgia, and they are all residing in Chatham County. There are no other Cuthberts shown residing in Georgia. The Reconstructed Census lists only names and county, no other information whatsoever. It is presumed that these people represent heads of households only as is the case with the rest of the 1790 census. 1. George Cuthbert (presumably the eldest son of Dr. James Cuthbert Sr) 2. Dr. James Cuthbert (Probably the younger Dr. James Cuthbert. However, as no age is given there is no way of knowing if this is the elder or younger Dr. Cuthbert.) 3. James Cuthbert (Possibly the younger Dr. James Cuthbert, or another James, perhaps from the Drakies family.) 4. Joseph Cuthbert (Joseph is listed in three places in the census, but as no information other than names is given it's not known if the three references are to three different Joseph Cuthberts, or merely three references to the same person. Given that the Cuthbert family of Drakies Plantation, Savannah, Georgia had an early patriarch who may have been named Joseph, and that this family was still occupying Drakies in 1790 then it would seem likely that there was more than one Joseph and that one of these was the son of Dr. James Cuthbert and at least one, if not both, of the others were from the Drakies family. See Drakies family below.) 5. Lewis Cuthbert (son of Dr. James Cuthbert Sr) 6. Mrs Penelope Cuthbert (Presumably a widow, but her identity is unknown.)
