The closest I can think of is Amity Twp. in Berks County, which was also part of Lancaster County at that time. I'd be surprised if there were any towns in Cumberland County in 1738, I don't think that Carlisle dates from that early a date..

Thanks, Jim. I am hoping to find the family Bible that was sold at an estate sale in Pittsburg three years ago. I would like to see the place of birth in the original handwriting to see if it appears the way it was written in the DAR papers. Thanks for the lead to Berks Co.
