The town of Cuthbert, county seat of Randolph County, "was named for John A. Cuthbert, the son of Seth John Cuthbert, an early colonist and revenue officer. He was the grandson of Joseph Clay. He was born in Savannah, graduated Princeton and represented Liberty County in the legislature. He was living in Milledgeville when the city of Cuthbert was named for him. The first frame building in Cuthbert was built in 1837-38 and the house still stands. Cuthbert is the home of Andrew College, a 2 year, Methodist related, liberal arts built in 1854, and used as a hospital during the War Between the States." Information for this history is from "A Source Book on the Early History of Cuthbert and Randolph County Georgia by Annette McDonald Suarez"
