Research Notes
The following record was either transcribed incorrectly or is a false positive match as the marriage date is well after the known children were born: Scotland, Select Marriages, 1561-1910 record Angus Galbraith. Marriage Date: 23 Mar 1811. Marriage Place: Kilcalmonell and Kilberry, Argyll, Scotland: Spouse: Isabel Thomson: Ancestry Record 60144 #2736645: Film Number: 1041068; Household Members: Isabel Thomson and Angus . Marriages, 1561-1910. Ancestry.com. Ancestry.com Operations, Inc.. 2014. Provo, Utah, USA.
In 1767, we find a record of "Anguish Colbreath" in Cumberland County, North Carolina, which is a probable match.[10]
In 1783 and 1784, we find a record of "Anguish Colbraith" in Duplin County, and Sampson, North Carolina, respectively, which is a probable match.[11] [12]
Lastly, this record may apply to the probate completion: North Carolina, Wills and Probate Records, 1665-1998: Angus Culbreath, Death: Abt 1788 North Carolina, USA.

It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Angus by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Angus:

I see that Neill Galbraith (Galbraith-1686) is connected as both the father and son of Angus Galbraith (Galbraith-1694). Given that Neill is shown as being born about 20 years after Angus, I assume he is meant to be his son -- and propose to disconnected him as Angus' father. Please let me know if you have any objections. Thanks!

Was Glen Orchy Home to Angus and Katrine? Their 27 September 1772 marriage record in Campbeltown raises a question, It might be that Angus and wife simply tagged along with a traveling group for their Atlantic crossing. The small village of Glen Orchy is located at the top of Loch Awe, a hundred miles due north of Campbeltown of Argyll. Why didn’t the couple simply marry in the Church of Scotland at Glen Orchy? The present 1811 Church replaced a much earlier one and there are preserved marriage records since 1765 for Glen Orchy. Moreover, the Figure 2 marriage record clearly shows that our couple were from “Gigha” Gigha, ancestral home many Galbraiths, is the small island, offshore to the west of the Kintyre Peninsula and about 20 miles north of the ‘heel’ with its Campbeltown. Perhaps the Office for the Church of Scotland in Campbeltown Parish was confirming an earlier event—Gigha had no regular rector. In email exchanges with Scotlandspeople.gov.uk, we learned that: “most in those times were married at home-the parish would document the marriage and the compiled list given was a Parish list [in this case for Campbeltown] and not of a particular church and often the parish marriage list was mixed with dates for the banns”. To the left edge, our couple was charged 3 shillings and 9 pence (equivalent to several days wages). The basic point is that this is our couple--they were married around this date and they are connected with Gigha. After Campbeltown the couple could have then gone north to Glen Orchy or elsewhere ‘in want of work’. Glen Orchy did have Galbraiths and a history of Galbraiths. The biggest local news, but a generation before Angus, was on 11 December 1731 when the ploughman and servant to Robert Murphey, Francis Galbraith of Glen Orchy, was murdered at neighboring Dalmallie (Dalmally). Francis left a son Humphrey Galbraith and wife, Margaret McDonald. We do not know if the miscreant was apprehended. There was also a William Galbreath with a daughter Isabell and perhaps other Galbraiths in the early Parish records. We do not know if any were related to Angus. A New Home in North Carolina: On the Ulysses, Angus and Katherine arrived at the mouth of the Cape Fear River at Wilmington on 17 October 1774 and made their way west to then Bladen which was to become Robeson County in 1787. Angus Colbraith appears there in the first Federal Census of 1790 with a boy under 16, himself, and three females (likely wife Katherine and two daughters); three children in all. In the 1800 census, Angus Culbreath has a family of three, himself and presumably two children, a boy and a girl 16 to 26 in age--but no elder female—Katherine is gone. (Note that in the same County Census there were a Daniel and an Archibald Culbreth past age 45 with full families of uncertain connection to Angus.) We know that Katherine had died as there is a marriage record on 30 January 1800 of Angus Culbreath to Margaret Matthews. However, that was not the marriage, but rather a license to marry. On that January day Angus guaranteed a $200 bond to assure later solemnization. The actual marriage was apparently delayed as the official numeration date of the census was 4 August 1800 and Angus was still without a wife at that time. On that date Margaret was possibly one of the two 16 to 26-year-old daughters to Daniel Matthews living nearby. In August of 1822 Angus Culbreath died leaving his LWT (Last Will and Testament) drawn earlier in the year, naming his wife Margaret and children. Angus also has a son-in-law Malcom McEachen, presumable married to one of his daughters via first wife Katherine. The son Hugh (sometimes as Hujhia ) to Angus that leads to our member Paul and others, was born in 1800 or 1804 according to censuses in Montgomery Georgia where Hugh moved and lived until his death in 1863. The sons we know about appear to be from the second wife Margaret. Most on-line trees neglect Katherine Brown and instead list a Mary McLoed as wife to Angus, before Margaret Mathews. I do not know the basis for this, but perhaps Angus had an additional spouse.
I apologize for the confusion, and am grateful y'all are looking into this!!

"The identity of Neil Galbreth, considered by some to be the progenitor of all Sampson and Cumberland County Galbreths and whose existence is doubted by others, is greatly clouded by confusing statements and too many Neil Galbreths. The first piece of evidence in favor of a Neil Galbreth residing in what was to become Sampson County from the 1740s is John C Bains statement. . . that Hugh Bain and a Williams (John) married Neil's daughters.
"The second and third pieces of evidence are two written statements made about 1890 by John Carouth Williams (1.8.1) at the age of 82. . .: 'My great grandfather John Williams came from Wales, a full blood Welshman. My great grandmother Williams was Katharine Culbreth, full blood scotch but born in America.'" (Rosser, 1990, p. 5)
both have a son Donald both have a daughter Barbary both have a son Torkle/Torquill both have a daughter Florence Thus, the individual child profiles need a close examination, but the parents should be reconciled and unduplicated (or detached), first.
Both wives first name Isabell/Isabelle (one profile either has misidentified the wife or other means of confirming reconciliation; e.g., did a second marriage happen, which would be unlikely given the number of concordant children).
Locations: Both born in Scotland, died in Sampson on the exact same date.
The probability that these are two different people is quite low. The individual elements and sources need to be carefully reviewed.
