Cuthbert

The Odgen and Cuthbert families joined when Anthony Cuthbert (1751-1832) married Mary Ogden (1770-1862) in 1799. Both families had strong connections to the rivers of Philadelphia.

Anthony Cuthbert's father, Thomas Cuthbert (1713-1781) came to Philadelphia from Scotland at the age of two. He was described as “a man of prominence, and was successively vestryman and warden of Christ Church [from 1776 to 1777] and on the committee to revise the book of common prayer in 1776,” (Bulloch, page 95). He married Ann Wilkinson in 1741 and was the father of four sons, Thomas Jr. (1745-1823), Allen (1747-1773), Anthony (1751-1832) and Samuel (1758-1839). He died in Philadelphia on January 11, 1781.
