1 NOTE  A Norman Baron, one of the generals and companions of William the
2 CONT Conqueror, said to have been the brother of King Harold's wife, and to
2 CONT have been entrusted with the guard of Harold's body after he had been
2 CONT slain on the battlefield.  He was nearly killed in the battle of
2 CONT Hastings but was rescued by the Sire de Montfort and William of
2 CONT Vieuxpont.  After the Conquest he was made Governor of York Castle.
2 CONT The following year he was besieged in the Castle of York by Edgar, the
2 CONT Saxon Prince, and was only saved from surrender by the timely arrival
2 CONT of the Conqueror.
2 CONT In 1069 he was attacked by the Danes, who captured the city of York
2 CONT with great slaughter and took William Malet, his wife and children,
2 CONT prisoners, but their lives were spared, as was that of Gilbert de
2 CONT Gand, for the sake of their ransoms.  There is evidence that he was
2 CONT slain in this year, but it is uncertain and the date of his death is
2 CONT unknown.  He was styled "Princeps", which title, however, was honorary
2 CONT and not hereditary, having ceased with his death.
2 CONT
2 CONT WILLIAM MALET
2 CONT The Conqueror and His Companions
2 CONT by J.R. Planché, Somerset Herald. London: Tinsley Brothers, 1874.
2 CONT http://www.patpnyc.com/conq/malet.htm
2 CONT
2 CONT "Wace mentions him as "Guillaume ki l'en dit Mallet," but why so
2 CONT called has not even been guessed at.
2 CONT
2 CONT " ... The author of "Carmen de Bello" tells us he was partly Norman
2 CONT and partly English, and "Compater Heraldi," which would seem to
2 CONT signify joint sponsor witli Harold, compère, as the French have it
2 CONT (vide Ducange in voce) ...
2 CONT
2 CONT "His name, however, is not met with, I believe, either in Saxon or
2 CONT Norman annals previous to the invasion, when we hear of his valour and
2 CONT his peril. "Guillaume, whom they call Mallet, also threw himself
2 CONT boldly into the midst. With his flaming sword he terrified the
2 CONT English. But they pierced his shield and killed his horse, and he
2 CONT would have been slain himself, when the Sire de Montfort and William
2 CONT de Vez-Pont (Vieuxpont) came up with a strong force, and gallantly
2 CONT rescued him, though with the loss of many of their men, and mounted
2 CONT him on a fresh horse" (Roman de Rou, l. 13,472-85).
2 CONT
2 CONT "We next hear of him as the person appointed by the Conqueror to take
2 CONT charge of the body of Harold, which had been discovered by the
2 CONT swan-necked Eadgyth, and to bury it on the sea-shore; his selection
2 CONT for that purpose would seem to have some connection with the curious
2 CONT statement of Bishop Guy, as from his previous knowledge of the Saxon
2 CONT King, and the spiritual brotherhood which is said to have existed
2 CONT between them, he may have been considered by William to have the best
2 CONT claim to the melancholy honour after the mother, to whom it had
2 CONT sternly refused.
2 CONT
2 CONT "After this we find him mentioned as accompanying the newly-seated
2 CONT sovereign in his expedition to the North, and the reduction of
2 CONT Nottingham and York (1068), in which year Malet was rewarded with the
2 CONT shrievalty of Yorkshire, and large grants of land in the county. He
2 CONT was in York the following year, and governor of the castle (newly
2 CONT built by the Conqueror) when it was besieged by the Northumbrians, led
2 CONT by the Saxon prince Edgar. The citizens having joined the insurgents,
2 CONT William Malet, sorely pressed, sent to the King for assistance,
2 CONT without which he assured him he should be compelled to surrender. The
2 CONT King arrived with a powerful force in time to raise the siege and take
2 CONT fearful vengeance on the besiegers, as well as on the city and its
2 CONT inhabitants. Again, with Gilbert de Ghent he was in command in York
2 CONT when the Danes assaulted it in 1069 and in conjunction with the Earls
2 CONT Waltheof and Gospatric burnt the city, slew three thousand Normans,
2 CONT and took prisoners Gilbert de Ghent and William Malet, with his wife
2 CONT and two of their children.
2 CONT
2 CONT "How long he remained in captivity does not appear, nor where or at
2 CONT what time or under what circumstances he died. Lucia, widow of Roger
2 CONT Fitz Gerald, and subsequently Countess of Chester, is stated, in a
2 CONT grant of King Henry II, to have been niece of Robert Malet and of Alan
2 CONT of Lincoln; and this Robert is said to have been the son of a William
2 CONT Malet, slain in 1069, the period at which our William Malet was taken
2 CONT prisoner at York. Another William Malet, set down as the son of
2 CONT Hesilia Crispin, died an old man in the Abbey of Bec; but there is no
2 CONT identifying either with the companion of the Conqueror, though each
2 CONT has a claim to the distinction, for our William, the sheriff of
2 CONT Yorkshire and compère of Harold, certainly had a son and heir named
2 CONT Robert, and a sister of William Crispin, named Hesilia, is variously
2 CONT asserted to have been the mother or wife of the William Malet who
2 CONT fought at Senlac. ..."

1 NOTE AEthelflaed was the eldest child of AElfred the Great.  In or about
2 CONT 884 when she was about sixteen, she married the Mercian Ealdorman
2 CONT AEthelred, who had been created "Lord of the Mercians" by AElfred.
2 CONT AEthelflaed often signed charters jointly with AEthelred and by 900
2 CONT had started to take over administration as AEthelred's illness drained
2 CONT his strength.  AEthelflaed had inherited much of the resolve of her
2 CONT father, and continued her husband's campaigns against the Welsh.  She
2 CONT also led the defense against the Vikings who, having established
2 CONT themselves in the north and east, now began to settle in the Wirral.
2 CONT AEthelflaed negotiated with their leader, Ingimund, to control the
2 CONT settlement, but in 905 the Vikings attacked Chester, causing
2 CONT AEthelflaed to fortify the town.  She recognized that the Vikings
2 CONT might destroy the Saxon relics in the north and wherever possible she
2 CONT sought to salvage objects of veneration.  These included the relics of
2 CONT Oswald of Northumbria which were translated to Gloucester in 909. When
2 CONT AEthelred died in 922, AEthelflaed continued to rule, though subject
2 CONT to her brother, Edward the Elder of Wessex.  She created new fortified
2 CONT boroughs against the Welsh and Vikings, including those at Bridgnorth
2 CONT and Bromsgrove, and she sought to assist the Scots and Strathclyde
2 CONT Britons against the Norse of Dublin and York.  AEthelflaed was one of
2 CONT the great warrior queens of England, and was highly respected by her
2 CONT enemies.  She died at Tamworth on June 12, 918, about age fifty.
2 CONT Although she was succeeded by her daughter Elfwynn, it is evident that
2 CONT she expected AEthelstan, the eldest son of Edward the Elder, whom she
2 CONT had fostered and raised, to become king, which he eventually did.

1 NOTE Also called Ethelfrida.
2 CONT Ruled c 883 - 911
2 CONT He succeeded Ceolwulf II.  His pedigree is not known, his name
2 CONT suggests he may have come from either Mercian or West Saxon stock.
2 CONT Although he issued many charters in his own name which imply a royal
2 CONT status, by the time of his reign Mercia was subject to AElfred, and
2 CONT AEthelred was at most
2 CONT a client king.  He became better known under the title "Lord of the
2 CONT Mercians", though he was also styled ealdorman, the title used in the
2 CONT ASC in 886 when AEthelred was entrusted with the city of London.  It
2 CONT was likely that by this time AEthelred had already married AElfred's
2 CONT daughter AEthelflaed.  AEthelred was noted for his hostility to the
2 CONT Welsh and there were many border battles.  At one stage Brochwael of
2 CONT Gwent was alleged to have sought aid from AElfred to stop AEthelred's
2 CONT oppression.  Athelred fortified Worcester and developed Gloucester,
2 CONT which was their seat of residence.  AEthelred continued in power after
2 CONT the death of AElfed, but his position seemed less secure during the
2 CONT reign of Edward the Elder.  He had a debilitating disease in his final
2 CONT years and left much of the government to AEthelflaed.  He died in 911.

1 NOTE  While his father Aethelwulf, was on pilgrimage to Rome in 855,

2 CONT but upon his return from Rome, Aethelwulf found his direct authority
2 CONT limited to the sub-kingdom of Kent, while Aethelbald controlled
2 CONT Wessex.
2 CONT
2 CONT Aethelwulf died in 858 and full control passed to Aethelbald.  Perhaps
2 CONT Aethelbald's premature power grab was occasioned by impatience, or
2 CONT greed, or lack of confidence in his father's succession plans.
2 CONT Whatever the case, he did not live long to enjoy it.  He died in 860,

1 NOTE  Notes for King of Egbert of England, King:
2 CONT Egbert, King of England (Stuart, Royalty for Commoners, Page 170, Line
2 CONT 233-41). AKA: Egbert 'the Great'. Born: in 775 in Wessex, England, son
2 CONT of Eahlmund=Edmund, King of Kent. Egbert was King of England 827-836,
2 CONT King of Wessex in 802 and Under-King of Kent from 784 to 786. Married
2 CONT before 806: Redburga=Raedburh N? Died: on 4 Feb 839 in Wessex,
2 CONT England.
2 CONT EGBERT (d. 839) was King of Wessex from 802 until 839. He claimed
2 CONT descent from Ingild, a brother of King Ine of Wessex. His father was a
2 CONT certain Ealhmund who ruled briefly in Kent c. 784 in opposition to
2 CONT Offa of Mercia. When King Cynewulf of Wessex died in 786, Egbert
2 CONT disputed with Beorhtric for possession of the king-dom. Beorhtric,
2 CONT Offa's protege, came out on top and Egbert departed into exile at the
2 CONT Frankish court. On Beorhtric's death in 802 Egbert returned and
2 CONT established himself as King of Wessex in a successful revolt against
2 CONT Mercian ascendancy.
2 CONT Egbert ruled an independent Wessex for the next twenty-three years, of
2 CONT which we have little record. This was succeeded by a period of
2 CONT frenzied activity. In 825 he Defeated King Beornwulf of Mercia at the
2 CONT battle of Ellendun (probably Wroughton in Wiltshire) and immediately
2 CONT afterwards sent his son Ethelwulf eastwards to wrest Kent, Surrey,
2 CONT Sussex and Essex from Mercian overlordship. He also received an appeal
2 CONT for protection from the East Anglians who had rebelled against the
2 CONT Mercians. The Mercian empire seemed to be falling apart as rival
2 CONT claimants contended for kingship over the next few years. In 829
2 CONT Egbert conquered Mercia and went on to lay waste part of Northumbria
2 CONT and exact submission and tribute from its king Eanred. For a short
2 CONT period he was overlord of all the English kingdoms. But in 830 Mercia
2 CONT threw off West Saxon lordship and for the rest of his reign Egbert's
2 CONT direct authority was restricted to Wessex and the south east.
2 CONT It has sometimes been claimed that Egbert was the first 'King of all
2 CONT England'. But this is absurd. The notion is based upon the treat-ment
2 CONT of Egbert in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle, put together in the form in
2 CONT which we have it at the court of Egbert's grandson Alfred and
2 CONT concerned above all else to magnify the exploits of the West Saxon
2 CONT royal dynasty. Mercian supremacy did not end with Offa. Ninth-century
2 CONT Mercia may have been subject to dynastic instability, as which
2 CONT Anglo-Saxon kingdom was not? But it could still produce some imposing
2 CONT rulers such as Cenwulf (796-821), Wiglaf (827-40) and Beorhtwulf
2 CONT (840-52). Further to the north the Northumbrian King Eanred (808-40)
2 CONT continued to rule a kingdom stretching from the Humber to the Firth of
2 CONT Forth: the submission to Egbert in 829 had no lasting effect.
2 CONT Nevertheless, Egbert's reign is an important one. In the first place,
2 CONT he consolidated West Saxon domination over the remaining British
2 CONT princes of the southwest in a series of campaigns in 815, 825, 830 and
2 CONT 838. Secondly, his annexation of south-eastern England in 825 was to
2 CONT be permanent. Kent became a dependency where West Saxon princes could
2 CONT learn the business of kingship: just as Egbert entrusted Kent to his
2 CONT son Ethelwulf, so after his accession in 839 Ethelwulf placed his son
2 CONT Athelstan in authority there. Egbert and Ethelwulf were at pains to
2 CONT cultivate good relations with the archbishops of Canterbury; they had
2 CONT learnt the lessons of Offa's failure in this respect. In particular,
2 CONT they tried to ensure that the see of Canterbury should be
2 CONT well-disposed not just to individual kings of Wessex but to the
2 CONT dynasty as a whole; in their own words in a charter of 838, 'that we
2 CONT and our heirs for ever afterwards may have firm and unbroken
2 CONT friendship from the archbishop and all his successors.' They wanted to
2 CONT break free from the snares of dynastic instability and discon-tinuity
2 CONT which plagued Mercia, Northumbria and their Frankish neighbours over
2 CONT the Channel. That they succeeded in doing so no doubt owed much to
2 CONT luck, but also something to shrewd management. Finally, Egbert showed
2 CONT that he could cope with new enemies, the Vikings. They ravaged the
2 CONT Island of Sheppey in 835, and Defeated him at Carhampton in 836. But
2 CONT when in 838 they made common cause with the Britons of the south-west
2 CONT Egbert Defeated them at Hingston Down in Cornwall. In the last battle
2 CONT of his life, Egbert showed that the Danes were vulnerable.

2 CONT Taken from MEDIEVAL HISTORY & CIVILIZATION by Daniel D. McGarry.
2 CONT By the ninth century, Wessex had become the strongest of the
2 CONT Anglo-Saxon kingdoms. It came to the fore under EGBERT (r.802-839),
2 CONT who became Bretwalda and is often reckoned as the first King of
2 CONT England.
2 CONT Taken from ACADEMIC AMERICAN ENCYCLOPEDIA.
2 CONT EGBERT, d. 839, King of Wessex, laid the foundations for the
2 CONT ascendancy of WESSEX among the English kingdoms. At first an
2 CONT unsuccessful claimant to the Wessex crown, he finally became king in
2 CONT 802. EGBERT Defeated the Mercian king Beornwulf at Ellandune (825) and
2 CONT briefly (828-29) held the kingdom of Mercia itself. He was also
2 CONT recognized as king in Kent, Surrey, Sussex, and Essex and received the
2 CONT nominal submission of Northumbria. The later years of his reign were
2 CONT marked by frequent Danish raids on England.

2 CONT With the establishment of the kingdom of Mercia the affairs of
2 CONT Flintshire come out to the surface with some distinctness. That before
2 CONT this time the Saxons had ravaged these parts is in some measure proved
2 CONT by the desolating visit of Austin and the hosts of King Ethelbert to
2 CONT Bangor Iscoed in the sixth century. Edwin of Northumbria and Egbert of
2 CONT Wessex, also, who had both effected a kind of temporary conquest in
2 CONT North Wales, doubtless for a time held Flintshire. But Offa made a
2 CONT serious business of the conquest of a portion of the territory, and to
2 CONT this day hasleft obvious proofs of his earnestness and determination
2 CONT in the rampart of "Offa's Dyke," a line of Defence which cut off from
2 CONT the Welsh the best part of the tract now called Flintshire. Whether
2 CONT this vallum, remains of which are traceable from near Caergwrle to the
2 CONT shore near Holywell, is more properly called "Offa's Dyke" or "Watt's
2 CONT Dyke," is a question still sub judice; but be it the one or the other,
2 CONT the work is a monument of most strenuous doings, a long scar on the
2 CONT face of Flintshire reminding us of the bloody onslaughts of King Offa
2 CONT and his Angles.

1 NOTE CEAWLIN (d. 593) was King of Wessex, according to the Anglo -Saxon
2 CONT Chronicle, whose chronology however is not reliable for this period,
2 CONT from 560 to 593. The annals in the Chronicle relating to his career
2 CONT are cast in a tone which suggests that they may derive from a lost Old
2 CONT English epic poem. For what they are worth, they conjure up a Germanic
2 CONT warlord of the sort celebrated in the surviving epic Beowulf. They
2 CONT show Ceawlin engaged in warfare with his neighbors both Anglo-Saxon
2 CONT and British, winning battles as at Dyrham in 577, capturing towns such
2 CONT as Bath, acquiring booty and perishing probably by violence. Bede
2 CONT allotted him an imperium or overlord-ship like that attributed to
2 CONT Aelle of Sussex: whatever this may have meant to Bede, to us Ceawlin's
2 CONT imperium is as opaque as Aelle's. It is possible that Ceawlin was
2 CONT responsible for the construction of some or all of the great earthwork
2 CONT known as Wansdyke. If this were so, he might have had a greater degree
2 CONT of ordered power at his disposal than the bloody record of the
2 CONT Cbronicle suggests.
2 CONT
2 CONT Ceawlin, son of Cynric, undertook the government of the West Saxons,
2 CONT 560, and reigned thirty winters. "In 568, Ethelbert came to the
2 CONT kingdom of Kent and was Defeated. He Defeated three other British
2 CONT Kings (Conmail, Condidan and Farinmail) at Dyrham (577), 5 miles north
2 CONT of Bath which he captured with Circencester and Glouchester. In his
2 CONT day the holy Pope Gregory sent us baptism. And Columba, the mass
2 CONT -priest, came to the Picts . . . 591. This year there was a great
2 CONT slaughter of Britons at Wanborough; Ceawlin was driven from his
2 CONT kingdom . . . 593. This year died Ceawlin." (ASC 560, 568, 591, 593,

2 CONT
2 CONT Prepared by Tom Kanon, Tennessee State Library and Archives
2 CONT The War of 1812 was a defining period in the early history of
2 CONT Tennessee. For the first time, Tennessee was thrust into the national
2 CONT spotlight through its political prowess and military victories. When
2 CONT war was declared on Great Britain in June 1812, it was a Tennessean,
2 CONT Congressman Felix Grundy, who was given the lion’s share of credit (or
2 CONT blame) for steering Congress toward a declaration of war against one
2 CONT of the mightiest military powers of the day. Grundy, a Nashville
2 CONT lawyer, along with a group of Democratic-Republicans known as the War
2 CONT Hawks, provided the rhetoric necessary to lead the nation into a
2 CONT conflict that many considered unpopular. Tennessee’s accomplishments
2 CONT on the battlefield during the Creek War (1813-1814) gave the country
2 CONT something to cheer about in a period of otherwise dismal campaigns
2 CONT against the British. And, of course, Andrew Jackson’s stunning victory
2 CONT at New Orleans showed the world that the United States was coming of
2 CONT age and could take its place among the nations of the world.
2 CONT
2 CONT At the onset of the war, the theater of operations was concentrated on
2 CONT the Canadian-American border. Tennessee, eager to get into the fray,
2 CONT offered its services to the government; but distance prevented the
2 CONT state from making any direct contribution. However, when President
2 CONT James Madison called on Tennessee to help defend the "Lower Country,"
2 CONT Tennesseans volunteered en masse, earning the nickname "The Volunteer
2 CONT State." Tennessee Governor Willie Blount was asked to send 1,500
2 CONT troops to the defense of New Orleans and/or Mobile. An expedition,
2 CONT under the command of Major General Andrew Jackson, was outfitted in
2 CONT December 1812.
2 CONT
2 CONT Natchez Expedition:
2 CONT (December 1812 - April 1813)
2 CONT The troops were mustered in at Nashville on 10 December 1812 and
2 CONT departed in early January 1813. The expedition consisted of two
2 CONT volunteer regiments, under Colonels Thomas Benton and William Hall,
2 CONT and one regiment of volunteer mounted gunmen under Colonel John
2 CONT Coffee. Coffee’s men rendezvoused at Columbia, Tennessee and marched
2 CONT overland into the Mississippi Territory (now the present-day states of
2 CONT Alabama and Mississippi). The rest of the expedition comprised a
2 CONT flotilla that went down the Cumberland, Ohio, and Mississippi Rivers
2 CONT and camped at their final destination near Natchez in mid-February
2 CONT 1813. After lingering there for several weeks, Jackson received orders
2 CONT from the Secretary of War that his services were no longer required
2 CONT and that he was to dismiss his troops. An angry and frustrated Jackson
2 CONT decided to march the army home at his own expense and, by his
2 CONT determined stance, acquired the sobriquet "Old Hickory" along the way.
2 CONT Many of the men who were part of this expedition were called to join
2 CONT the first campaign of the Creek War in September 1813. A journal of
2 CONT the expedition to Natchez (from December 1812 to early March 1813) can
2 CONT be found in John Spenser Bassett’s The Correspondence of Andrew
2 CONT Jackson - Volume I (Washington D.C., 1926).
2 CONT
2 CONT At the same time that West Tennesseans were marching to Natchez, the
2 CONT eastern section of the state made their own contribution with a
2 CONT similar campaign -- this one into Florida.
2 CONT (Note: what was considered West Tennessee in 1812 is now the region of
2 CONT the state called Middle Tennessee. What we now call West Tennessee was
2 CONT Indian land.)

1 NOTE  General Evan Shelby's eldest son, Isaac, governor of Kentucky, born
2 CONT in North Mountain, Maryland, 11 December, 1750; died near Stanford,
2 CONT Kentucky, 18 July, 1826, acquired a common English education, and the
2 CONT principles of surveying at Fredericktown, and before he was of age
2 CONT served as deputy sheriff of Frederick county. In 1771 he removed with
2 CONT his father to the present site of Bristol, Tennessee, and followed
2 CONT with him the business of herding cattle till 1774, when, being
2 CONT appointed lieutenant in his father's company, he served in the battle
2 CONT of Point Pleasant, which he was instrumental in winning. He commanded
2 CONT the fort at that place till July, 1775, when his troops were disbanded
2 CONT by Lord Dunmore, lest they should join the patriot army. During the
2 CONT following year he was employed at surveying in Kentucky, but, his
2 CONT health failing, he returned home in July, 1776, just in time to be at
2 CONT the battle of Long Island fiats. At the first furious onset of the
2 CONT savages, the American lines were broken, and then Shelby, present only
2 CONT as a volunteer private, seized the command, reformed the troops, and
2 CONT inflicted upon the Indians a severe defeat, with the loss of only two
2 CONT men badly wounded. This battle, and John Sevier's defence of Watauga,
2 CONT frustrated the rear attack by which the British hoped to envelop and
2 CONT crush the southern colonies. Soon afterward Governor Patrick Henry
2 CONT promoted Shelby to a captaincy, and made him commissary-general of the
2 CONT Virginia forces. When Sevier, in 1779, projected the expedition that
2 CONT captured the British stores at Chickamauga, Shelby equipped and
2 CONT supplied the troops by the pledge of his individual credit. In this
2 CONT year he was commissioned a major by Governor Thomas Jefferson, but,
2 CONT when the state line was run, his residence was found to be in North
2 CONT Carolina. He then resigned his commission, but was at once appointed
2 CONT to the colonelcy of Sullivan county by Governor Caswell. He was in
2 CONT Kentucky, perfecting his title to lands he had selected on his
2 CONT previous visit, when he heard of the fall of Charleston and the
2 CONT desperate situation of affairs in the southern colonies. He at once
2 CONT returned to engage in active service against the enemy, and, crossing
2 CONT the mountains into South Carolina, in July, 1780, he won victories
2 CONT over the British at Thicketty Fort, Cedar Springs, and Musgrove's
2 CONT Mill. But, as the disastrous defeat at Camden occurred just before the
2 CONT last engagement, he was obliged to retreat across the Alleghanies.
2 CONT There he soon concerted with John Sevier the remarkable expedition
2 CONT which resulted in the battle of King's Mountain, and turned the tide
2 CONT of the Revolution. For this important service he and Sevier received
2 CONT the thanks of the North Carolina legislature, and the vote of a sword
2 CONT and a pair of pistols. Having been elected to the general assembly,
2 CONT Shelby soon afterward left the army to take his seat, but, before he
2 CONT left, suggested to General Horatio Gates the expedition which, carried
2 CONT out by Morgan under General Greene, resulted in the victory at
2 CONT Cowpens. Being soon afterward recalled to South Carolina by General
2 CONT Greene, he marched over the mountains with Colonel Sevier and 500 men,
2 CONT and did important; service against the British in the vicinity of
2 CONT Charleston. In the winter of 1782-'3 he was appointed a commissioner
2 CONT to survey the lands along the Cumberland that were allotted by North
2 CONT Carolina to her soldiers, and this done, he repaired to Boonesborough,
2 CONT Kentucky, where he settled as a planter. He was a delegate to all the
2 CONT early conventions that were held for obtaining the separation of
2 CONT Kentucky from Virginia, and succeeded, in connection with Thomas
2 CONT Marshall and George Muter, in thwarting the treasonable scheme of
2 CONT General James Wilkinson and his associates to force Kentucky out of
2 CONT the Union and into an alliance with Spain. When, in 1792, Kentucky was
2 CONT admitted as a state, Shelby was almost unanimously elected its first
2 CONT governor. During nearly the whole of his administration the western
2 CONT country was in a state of constant irritation, in consequence of the
2 CONT occlusion of the Mississippi by Spain; but, by his firm and sagacious
2 CONT policy, this discontent was kept from breaking out into actual
2 CONT hostilities. Finally, by the treaty of 20 October, 1795, the Spaniards
2 CONT conceded the navigation of that river; and Shelby's term of office
2 CONT expiring soon afterward, he refused to be again a candidate, and
2 CONT returned to the cultivation of the farm which he had reluctantly left
2 CONT at what he deemed the call of his country. He subsequently refused all
2 CONT office except that of presidential elector, to which he was chosen six
2 CONT times successively under Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe; but, on the
2 CONT eve of the second war with Great Britain, his state again peremptorily
2 CONT demanded his services. Our first western army had been captured,
2 CONT Michigan was in the hands of the enemy, and the whole frontier was
2 CONT threatened by a strong coalition of savages, armed by Great Britain.
2 CONT Instinctively the people turned to Shelby, and he consented to serve
2 CONT as governor "if there should be a war with England." Organizing a body
2 CONT of 4,000 volunteers, he had them mounted on his own responsibility,
2 CONT and at the age of sixty-three led them in person to the re-enforcement
2 CONT of General William Henry Harrison, whom he joined just in time to
2 CONT enable that general to profit by the victory of Perry on Lake Erie.
2 CONT For his services in this campaign Shelby received a gold medal and the
2 CONT thanks of congress and of the Kentucky legislature. In March, 1817, he
2 CONT was tendered the post of secretary of war by President Monroe; but he
2 CONT declined, and never again held any office except that of commissioner
2 CONT for the purchase from the Chickasaws of their remaining lands in
2 CONT Tennessee and Kentucky.

2 CONT After killing John Duncan at Moore's Fort the next strike of Logan,
2 CONT the Mingo Chief, was at the fort of General Evan Shelby, near the
2 CONT present Bristol. At this time General Shelby was away on the Lewis
2 CONT Expedition to Ohio. On October 6, 1774, the Indians captured a slave
2 CONT girl belonging to Shelby.
2 CONT
2 CONT In a letter dated October 9, 1774, Major Arthur Campbell reports the
2 CONT raid on Shelby's settlement in this manner:
2 CONT
2 CONT On last Thursday evening, ye 6th instant, the Indians took a Negro
2 CONT wench prisoner, belonging to Captain Evan Shelby, within 300 yards of
2 CONT his home. After they took her some distance, they examined her, asking
2 CONT how many guns were in the fort and other questions relative to the
2 CONT strength of the place. They asked her if the store was kept there now.
2 CONT After they had carried her off about a mile, they saw or heard a boy
2 CONT coming from the mill; they immediately tied the wench and went off to
2 CONT catch the boy. While they were gone the wench luckily got loose and
2 CONT made her escape. She says they knocked her down twice when she refused
2 CONT to tell in what situation the fort was; and she says one was a large
2 CONT man much whiter than the rest, and talked good English. It was the
2 CONT same kind of person Mr. Blackmore saw in pursuit of the Negro he
2 CONT relieved. (1)

2 CONT (Liberation of Georgia)
2 CONT Georgia militia were called on by Col. Isaac Shelby of North Carolina
2 CONT to assist in driving the British from an encampment at Musgrove's Mill
2 CONT on the Enoree River. Elijah Clarke answered this call with some 300
2 CONT men, and helped Shelby rout the British foes on August 17, 1780.
2 CONT Clarke suffered a serious wound during the battle. His return trip
2 CONT took him through South Carolina, where he meted out justice to the
2 CONT Tory occupiers. Clarke returned home and after a brief rest reformed
2 CONT his brigade to attack Augusta. Clarke nearly succeeded in taking
2 CONT Augusta from Loyalist Thomas Brown, but was stymied when British
2 CONT Regulars arrived from Ninety-six in support of Brown's militia.
2 CONT
2 CONT Since the defeat of the Continental Army at Savannah the British had
2 CONT been trying to make inroads with the farmers in the Georgia
2 CONT backcountry. Repeated attempts to disarm those not trusted by the
2 CONT British and Tories met with little success. These soldiers and militia
2 CONT met Whig resistance with force, killing men, assaulting women and
2 CONT children, and destroying property. As Clarke returned from his near
2 CONT victory at Augusta he stumbled upon a group of some 400 backcountry
2 CONT women and children who were fleeing the ravages of these British and
2 CONT Tory soldiers. He and his men escorted them to the Watauga Valley of
2 CONT North Carolina (now Tennessee), firmly in the control of the Whigs
2 CONT whom he had aided at Musgrove's Mill. Clarke's militia then joined
2 CONT Thomas Sumter to win the battle of Blackstock (variously described as
2 CONT a ferry, a plantation or a farm), defeating Tarleton Banistre on
2 CONT November 20, 1780. Returning to Georgia his men dispersed for Winter.
2 CONT Spring would bring better news.

2 CONT
2 CONT John Noil was my favorite uncle on my father's side of the family.  He
2 CONT was funny and always full of energy.  He worked for the Selma Police
2 CONT Dept. most of his life.  My favorite photograph of him was made
2 CONT probably in the early thirties.  He is standing  beside his old jalopy
2 CONT (probably a Ford) with his badge on and his pistol, in its holster,
2 CONT strapped to his hip.  I called him the Law of Dallas County.
2 CONT
2 CONT When he was in his late eighties he called me on the phone one night.
2 CONT I hadn't heard from him in years.  He just wanted to see how I was
2 CONT doing, he said.   Dinkey, his wife, had been dead for a while so he
2 CONT was living alone in his own home.  He told me that he was still
2 CONT independent but that Betty, his daughter, came over to check on him
2 CONT now and then.  A few days back, he said, he was up on his roof
2 CONT straightening his TV antenae when Betty drove up to check on him.  He
2 CONT hid behind the antenae so she wouldn't see that he was on the roof
2 CONT because she would read him the "riot act".  We both had a great laugh.
2 CONT He was still like a little boy doing whatever he wanted and avoiding
2 CONT being caught.
2 CONT
2 CONT In the 60s Uncle John participated in the "March to Selma" led by Dr.
2 CONT Martin Luther King, Jr.  He was a mounted policeman, at the time,  and
2 CONT very proud of it.  Dr. King with his followers led everyone over the
2 CONT Edmund Pettus Bridge, which my grandfather John Philbert Cross, and
2 CONT his sons, including my father, had participated in building.  The
2 CONT bridge opened in 1940 just three years following my birth.
2 CONT
2 CONT When I was 18 months to 3 years, my father, mother and I lived in
2 CONT Selma.  When the rains came, the Alabama River would flood it's banks.
2 CONT The house we lived in was built on stilts so that the flood waters
2 CONT could run under the house.  After a flood, water moccasins and other
2 CONT water snakes were everywhere.  Needless to say, I was not allowed out
2 CONT of the house.
2 CONT
2 CONT Also, following floods, my father and others from the area would have
2 CONT to go to the cemeteries and rebury the caskets and bodies because the
2 CONT floods would soften the earth so much that they would float up to the
2 CONT top of the ground.  It eventually became a law that concrete covers
2 CONT had to be placed over all caskets so that this would continue to
2 CONT occur.
2 CONT
2 CONT Selma was essentially an arsenal during the Civil War.  There were
2 CONT many battles there.  When I was I child I remember seeing cannon ball
2 CONT damage to the pillars of the old Courthouse.

2 CONT
2 CONT  The diary ends abruptly right here.  It is a pity he did not keep up
2 CONT his entries until the end of the journey, which for him, I suppose was
2 CONT what is now, and probaly then Lindale, Texas.  He does not give the
2 CONT month or the year - only the days of the week but this wagon train
2 CONT left Perry County, Alabama in 1869, and presumably in the fall of the
2 CONT year for he does not mention anything that would lead us to believe
2 CONT any of the rivers crossed were at flood stage, as would be the case in
2 CONT the spring, and then too, most of the group were farmers and doubtless
2 CONT were anxious to make a crop the following year.  Written by W.L.
2 CONT Henderson."

2 CONT
2 CONT Erma was a beautiful woman and her children were beautiful also. Scott
2 CONT was also a beautiful man with brilliant blue eyes. I met them in their
2 CONT later years and they were still nice to look at. Erma had very deep
2 CONT dimples and when she laughed her eyes sparkled. She said that her
2 CONT grandmother, on her mother's side, was of indian blood, and I believed
2 CONT it because she had almost black hair and very dark brown eyes until
2 CONT her mid 70s. Half of her children had dark brown eyes and hair, and
2 CONT the others had blue eyes and light hair.
2 CONT
2 CONT She was a wonderful human being who was very creative and always
2 CONT laughing.
2 CONT
2 CONT She was always very spirited. She grew up picking cotton and her
2 CONT father would give her a little money to work. She decided that she
2 CONT didn't like working so she paid one of her sisters to pick her cotton
2 CONT and went into the woods, where she had made a play house,.. to play.
2 CONT She said it was too hot. When she was almost 80 she went to the back
2 CONT of her apt in the wooded area, cut down 7 pine trees, cut them up and
2 CONT made herself a patio.
2 CONT
2 CONT Another family story is: When Erma and Scott's children were small,
2 CONT they lived in New Merkle out by Cahaba. At the time it was
2 CONT undeveloped, and just woods. Scott was a lineman for the telephone
2 CONT company. One day he fell from a pole and hurt his back so he couldn't
2 CONT work. Erma said every other morning she would go to the door and find
2 CONT food for her family. It had been put there by the Moonshiners, she
2 CONT thought, and she never saw them to thank them. She said they ate
2 CONT better after Scott fell than before, .. fresh eggs, fresh milk, etc.

2 CONT "Jan. 15, 2008
2 CONT Bob,
2 CONT    Thank you so much for letting us know. I am sure tht his passing is
2 CONC difficult for you also.
2 CONT    Charles was the first Herron in my life. I think I was 14 or 15
2 CONC when I met him. He was so full of life, beautiful and heroic to me. My
2 CONC memories of early times spent with him and with Margie, at their
2 CONC marriage and the births of each of their children will always be with
2 CONC me. We had an
2 CONT agreement to raise the flag on the mailbox if it were a boy, when we
2 CONC spent time as neighbors. I often wonder what happened to the dried up
2 CONC old green  cloraphyll toothpaste that we, Jack and I, used to sneak
2 CONC back and forth to him as a joke. He would find a way to give it back
2 CONC to us, and we to him for a number of years. Once, with a bogus return
2 CONC address, we mailed it to
2 CONT him at a conference that he was attending. It must have finally turned
2 CONC to powder, or is lost in a post office somewhere.
2 CONT    He was so dear. I will cherish that last time I saw him at Marcus'
2 CONC Memorial. Even though he had aged, the sparkle was still in those
2 CONC beautiful blue eyes and he still had a radiance of love around him.
2 CONC Spirit is one thing that age cannot remove.
2 CONT    I am divided in my feelings about his passing. On one hand, I feel
2 CONC so happy for him that he is through his suffering. On the other I feel
2 CONC such sadness that I have seen him for the last time in this life. I do
2 CONC feel deeply that because of his love for us, and our's for him, his
2 CONC presence will be there if and when ever we need it; and I feel that we
2 CONC can still communicate with him through our hearts and minds.
2 CONT    I will not be able to make it to the funeral, so please give
2 CONC Margie, Mike, Ken and  Pat a loving hug for me and tell them how sorry
2 CONC I am for their loss.
2 CONT    My love to each of you along with my wish for God's Love to comfort
2 CONC you and take you through this time of loss.
2 CONT    Always,
2 CONT    Martha Jo" (Martha Cross Herron Mordecai)

2 CONT Brooke,
2 CONT    I couldn’t have worded my regrets any better than you just did.
2 CONC Uncle Charles was such a strong man and I also am so grateful for the
2 CONC times that I got to spend with him, most recently in Florence.
2 CONC Although he looked frail, his mind was very strong.  He remembered us
2 CONC all, that in itself touched me as it had been so long since I had last
2 CONC seen him.  I always felt privileged when Uncle Charles would come to
2 CONC our house and will always hold dear the visits that I had with him as
2 CONC a child.  I will miss him so much, as I’m sure everyone will.  Aunt
2 CONC Margie, he was so lucky to have had you to share such a full life
2 CONC with.  The Herron/Wilson Clan most definitely has pulled together once
2 CONC again, which makes me feel so fortunate to be a part of this family.
2 CONC I truly am hoping for another gathering that I will be able to be a
2 CONC part of.  I will be there in spirit on Saturday and hope that you all
2 CONC know how much I do love each and every one of you.  We are blessed to
2 CONC have this group we call family.

2 CONT Morning Family:
2 CONT    It grieves me to tell you I will not be down for the Memorial.  I
2 CONC am just unable to swing it at this time.  I have thought about it and
2 CONC mulled it over and just could not find a way.  I finally just had to
2 CONC face the reality and am very sad I won't be there.
2 CONT    I felt blessed to have some private moments last fall with Uncle
2 CONC Charles where we sat side by side holding hands and enjoying each
2 CONC others' presence.  I will always remember him as profoundly kind,
2 CONC gentle and strongly loving.  I feel blessed that he was part of my
2 CONC early life, and continued to be a jewel in my Herron Treasure chest.
2 CONC When I saw him at Marcus', I felt an immediate connection as if we had
2 CONC seen each other only days before.  No time had lapsed.  He spoke to me
2 CONC in whispers.  Yet each comment or question was spoken from a mind that
2 CONC was clear and intently loving towards all that were in attendance that
2 CONC day.  He did not speak of himself.  I was humbled.  (If I had been in
2 CONC that wheel chair, I am sorry to say I would have been the crabbing
2 CONC elderly person wanting the whole world to know about my suffering.)
2 CONC It made me regret that I had not made the effort to include him more
2 CONC in my life.
2 CONT    I will be with you all this weekend in heart and soul.  I send my
2 CONC love and ask that the loving presence of Uncle Charles be palatable
2 CONC throughout the weekend.  I'm sure it will be.

2 CONT
2 CONT John James Culpepper was known as "Jack." His parents were recorded in
2 CONT the 1850 census of Chambers Co., AL and this is where John James is
2 CONT presumed to have been born. After this census, probably before 1855,
2 CONT the family moved to a farm near present day Wadley, AL and this is
2 CONT where John James was noted living with his parents in the 1860 and
2 CONT 1870 census records of Randolph Co., AL. After his marriage, John
2 CONT James remained in Randolph County until after 1880 since he was
2 CONT recorded there with his wife and young family in the 1880 census.
2 CONT According to a granddaughter, Mary Lillian Butler Pierce, in 1883,
2 CONT John James moved his family to the Sand Mountain area of Marshall Co.,
2 CONT AL where "John J. Culpepper" was recorded (83:12) in Albertville with
2 CONT his wife and younger children in the 1900 census. He was listed as
2 CONT having been born Dec 1850 in Alabama. A 50 year old "John J.
2 CONT Culpepper" born in Alabama was recorded (96-22) with his wife and
2 CONT daughter in the 1910 census of Marshall Co., AL. His father, Robert J.
2 CONT Culpepper was also living with the family. John James Culpepper
2 CONT apparently remained in Marshall Co., AL the rest of his life since an
2 CONT article about a 1937 family reunion listed his residence as
2 CONT Albertville, AL and this is where he died.
2 CONT
2 CONT When Sallie Butler, a granddaughter, was 15 years old, she wrote the
2 CONT following article about John James and Nancy Jane (Willoughby)
2 CONT Culpepper's 64th wedding anniversary: Mr. and Mrs. J. J. Culpepper,
2 CONT known everywhere as "Uncle Jack and Aunt Nancy," will celebrate their
2 CONT 64th Anniversary December 8, 1935. Uncle Jack will also celebrate his
2 CONT 85th birthday December 4, and Aunt Nancy will be 86 on February 8,
2 CONT 1936. These old folks were happily married 64 years ago, on a cold
2 CONT December night about twelve o'clock. They danced until midnight and
2 CONT then ate supper and danced on. For their supper they had cilloububs,
2 CONT most everyone wonders what that is. [Webster's has "syllabub": 1. a
2 CONT drink or dessert made by curdling milk or cream with acid (as wine or
2 CONT cider) 2. a desert of sweetened milk or cream beaten to a froth and
2 CONT flavored with wine or liquor.] They made their home in Clay County [in
2 CONT Randolph Co., AL census records 1860 through 1880] until 1883, when
2 CONT they moved to Sand Mountain [th Albertville area of Marshall Co., AL]
2 CONT in covered wagons which brought them here after five days journey.
2 CONT They've been in this place for 52 years. They have three children, 19
2 CONT grandchildren, and 14 great grandchildren. Uncle Jack has made a crop
2 CONT for 65 years. He had a small crop of two acres this year, he plowed,
2 CONT hoed, picked part of the crop.... When they came here they lived in a
2 CONT log cabin, which now stands as a barn. They lived in that for 16
2 CONT years. They then made a better house and have been in it for forty-six
2 CONT years. So here's hoping we may be able to greet them on their
2 CONT birthdays and many more to come. Good wishes and health to you both
2 CONT throughout the remainder of your years. Your granddaughter, Sallie
2 CONT Butler.
2 CONT
2 CONT Mary Lillian Butler Pierce, another granddaughter, wrote that John
2 CONT James Culpepper had "a bout of typhoid fever" and that he "lost an eye
2 CONT at age 50 yrs. old. Dr. said he needed heart surgery and wouldn't live
2 CONT unless he had it. He lived 38 more yrs. without the surgery and died a
2 CONT natural death."
2 CONT
2 CONT  In a 19 Jan 1979 letter, Mary Lillian wrote about the land: My
2 CONT Grandpa Jack bought this 80 or 100 acres of land, where I live, mostly
2 CONT in woods for then 2 small calves and a bale of cotton was 15 cents per
2 CONT lb. Later years, it went back to the Rail Road Co. and he had to pay
2 CONT for it again.... This house was built 1893, a 1 1/2 story, the house
2 CONT still stands, I live in it. Many changes have been made, and some
2 CONT improvements, could stand a few more now.
2 CONT
2 CONT In a 20 Jan 1979 letter, Mary Lillian added: A bale of cotton sold for
2 CONT $15.00, 2 calves were probably $1.00 each or $2.00 which made $17.00
2 CONT for this property in 1880. Now one lot would sell for $5000.00, quite
2 CONT a difference, huh. Then I didn't tell you what Grandpa Jack did,
2 CONT besides farming. He and a neighbor built chimney's (fireplaces) I
2 CONT visited a friend yesterday p.m., had a roaling(?) wood fire, for heat,
2 CONT said my Grandpa built the chimney. That house is 110 years old.... As
2 CONT far as I know didn't any of the Culpeppers of my Mom's generation,
2 CONT ever strike it rich. All of them had a good living and owned a home
2 CONT and farm. My mom said this place was morgaged once for $25.00 about
2 CONT 1905, then she mortgaged it once to build a house on this property....
2 CONT
2 CONT
2 CONT  Mary Lillian Butler Pierce wrote 23 Apr 1993: My Mom [Mrs. W. E.
2 CONT (Effen Culpepper) Butler] would save about 2 cups of whey & let it

2 CONT  Nancy J. 69 AL in hh of Jack J. Culpepper.
2 CONT
2 CONT Sallie Butler, a granddaughter of John James and Nancy Jane
2 CONT (Willoughby) Culpepper, wrote in a 1935 article that "Aunt Nancy will
2 CONT be 86 on February 8, 1936." This would indicate that Nancy was born in
2 CONT 1850 which would correspond with the 1900 census record which
2 CONT indicates that Nancy was born in Alabama in Feb 1850. It is not known
2 CONT if this corresponds with the date from the tombstone.
2 CONT
2 CONT Sallie's sister, Mary Lillian Butler Pierce wrote 4 Oct 1992: I don't
2 CONT know anything about my grandmother's [Nancy Jane Willoughby
2 CONT Culpepper's] parents, don't even know their given names [they might be
2 CONT listed in the 1850 census of Chambers Co. or Randolph Co., AL since
2 CONT this is where the Culpepper's were]. Her mother died when she was 7
2 CONT years old and left a little two-year-old sister, and my grandmother
2 CONT didn't get to go to school a day in her life, and took care of her
2 CONT little sister. I don't know for sure if Lovie was her little sister's
2 CONT name, or if Lovie was a nickname. Mama always said Aunt Lovie. I think
2 CONT Aunt Lovie married a Kerr. My grandmother had another brother Uncle
2 CONT Bud and he and his wife and daughters lived in Waco, TX. Another
2 CONT brother was Jacob. The thing I remember about my grandmother Nancy
2 CONT Jane she was kind, sweet, humble and clean as a pin and a marvelous
2 CONT cook....
2 CONT
2 CONT Nancy is presumed to have married John James Culpepper in Randolph
2 CONT Co., AL where they are noted living in the 1880 census. According to a
2 CONT granddaughter, Mary Lillian Butler Pierce, in 1883, the John James
2 CONT Culpepper family moved to the Sand Mountain area of Marshall Co., AL
2 CONT where the family is noted living in the 1900 census of Albertville,
2 CONT Marshall Co., AL. In the 1900 census "L. A. Willowby" a 16 year old
2 CONT boarder was recorded in the John James Culpepper household. According
2 CONT to Mary Lillian Butler Pierce in a 5 Jan 1995 letter, this was
2 CONT probably Nancy's half-brother Leedy Willoughby. Mary Lillian added
2 CONT that her mother, Mrs. W. E. (Effen L. Culpepper) Butler, had spoken of
2 CONT her Uncle Leedy often and he gave her mother "a hugh trunk" which she
2 CONT considered very special. In the 1900 census, John James Culpepper
2 CONT listed his father as having been born in South Carolina and his mother
2 CONT as having been born in North Carolina. In 1935, for the 64th wedding
2 CONT anniversary of her grandparents, Sallie Butler wrote of Nancy Jane
2 CONT Willoughby Culpepper that "she started then [when Nancy's mother died]
2 CONT cooking, milking, churning and doing all the house work and raised a
2 CONT two year old girl." Sallie Butler also wrote that Nancy had been an
2 CONT invalid for 4 or 5 years.
2 CONT
2 CONT Mary Lillian Butler Pierce preserved the following from an unknown
2 CONT source about the 1935 family reunion which was held before Nancy's
2 CONT death: "Culpepper Reunion Sunday, September 1 The Culpepper's held
2 CONT their annual Reunion on Sunday, Sept 1st at the home at Mr. and Mrs.
2 CONT J. J. Cullpeper [sic], known as Uncle Jack and Aunt Nancy. At the

2 CONT Robert Jefferson Culpepper was known to his great-grandchildren as

2 CONT 1830 census of Upson Co., GA and this is where Robert is presumed to
2 CONT have been born. The 1900 Soundex for Alabama shows Robert J. Culpepper
2 CONT in Albertville, Marshall Co, AL with a birth date of July 1828 but
2 CONT since he was not noted in the 1830 census this can probably be
2 CONT discounted. By 1840, Robert had moved with his parents to Chambers
2 CONT Co., AL where he was noted as one of two males 5 to 10 years of age in
2 CONT the household of John J. Culpepper. Robert emerges in Chambers Co., AL

2 CONT Robert J. and Louraney (Cardwell) Culpepper hosted the wedding of his

2 CONT Ferby Cardwell, at their home 23 Dec 1855. Their father, John
2 CONT Jefferson Culpepper, was the second bondsman. At some point after
2 CONT this, Robert J. Culpepper apparently moved his family to Randolph Co.,
2 CONT AL. He is noted in land records as purchasing 39.86 ½ acres in the SE
2 CONT 1/4 of NE 1/4 of section 3 in Township 22 Range 10 of Randolph Co.,
2 CONT AL. Unfortunately, the date is illegible. The land appears to be just

2 CONT After the war, Robert returned home and he was noted with his wife and
2 CONT children in the 1870 census of the Louina P. O. District (now Wadley),
2 CONT Randolph Co., AL. His brother, William Washington Culpepper, was still
2 CONT living next door and his parents were also living nearby, all
2 CONT apparently on the same land that they were on before the war. By 1880,
2 CONT Robert had apparently moved his family to Clay Co., AL R. J. Culpepper
2 CONT was noted with his wife and younger children in Wesobulga District,
2 CONT Clay Co., AL in 1880 census records.
2 CONT
2 CONT According to an article from the Guntersville Advertiser 10 Oct 1916,
2 CONT Robert J. Culpepper and his wife had moved to the Sand Mountain area
2 CONT of Marshall Co., AL 28 years previously. This would have been
2 CONT approximately 1888. A son, John James Culpepper, located his family in
2 CONT what is known today as Albertville, Marshall Co., AL.. Other members
2 CONT of the extended family settled across the county line in Joppa,
2 CONT Cullman Co., AL. Unfortunately, the 1890 U. S. census burned and so it
2 CONT is not possible to see exactly how everyone was situated at the time.
2 CONT What is known is that, according to her obituary, Mrs. R. J. (Louraney
2 CONT Cardwell) Culpepper died in Joppa, Cullman Co., AL in 1894. After the
2 CONT death of his wife, Robert apparently split his time at the residences
2 CONT of his children. Robert J. Culpepper was noted in Albertville,
2 CONT Marshall Co, AL in the 1900 census. He was listed as having been born
2 CONT Jul 1828 although, since he was not noted in the 1830 census and was
2 CONT listed in later census records as being age 19, 30, 40 and 49, the
2 CONT 1828 reference can be discounted. Robert Jefferson Culpepper's
2 CONT daughter, Arkansas (Culpepper) Williams, and her two young sons,
2 CONT "Larkis" and "Charlie," were living with him. In 1910, Robert was
2 CONT still living in Marshall Co., AL was noted in the Marshall Co., AL
2 CONT census living with his son, John J. Culpepper. A great-granddaughter,
2 CONT Mary Lillian Butler Pierce, wrote, 19 Jan 1979: He carved & made fancy
2 CONT furniture, beautiful beds among other things. He had a collection of
2 CONT old guns.... He had a hobby of keeping a diary, of the weather and
2 CONT happenings of the day.... My Grandpa Jack [John James Culpepper] &
2 CONT family along with Ole E Pa & family all moved here to Sand Mt. from
2 CONT Randolph or Clay [the family was in Clay Co., AL in the 1880 census]
2 CONT in covered wagons in 1883.... Ole E Pa Jeff... walked lots of miles
2 CONT almost every day, even in his 80's.... One more thing about Ole E Pa
2 CONT Jeff, he carved and made spinning wheels to spin yarn then weave it
2 CONT into yarn for cloth in those days."
2 CONT
2 CONT Mary Lillian Butler Pierce added in s 23 Apr 1993 letter that "Robert
2 CONT Jefferson Culpepper carved and made furniture in his younger days -
2 CONT beautiful pieces - and each piece painted black." 20 Jan 1979, Mary
2 CONT Lillian wrote that her great-grandfather had lived with her
2 CONT grandparents in the same house that she is living in now: Lola Martin
2 CONT said Ole E Pa Jeff's room was upstairs, steps are steep here and only
2 CONT heat he had up there & light was a lantern. Scratches are still on the
2 CONT wall up there where he would strike a match to light the kerosene
2 CONT lantern. Was a stacked chimney in the middle of the house, heat from
2 CONT it helped keep the walls of that little room warm. Said he never had a
2 CONT cold or was sick in winter.
2 CONT
2 CONT Mary Lillian Butler Pierce added in a 23 Apr 1993 letter: Lola Martin
2 CONT was right stairs were steep, and still are. Scratches are still on the
2 CONT wall. I painted or painted part of that little room up stairs a few
2 CONT yrs ago, and it's hard to find the scratches now.
2 CONT
2 CONT According to a great-granddaughter, Mary Lillian Butler Pierce, Robert
2 CONT Jefferson Culpepper received a monthly pension of $15.00 from the
2 CONT State of Alabama for his Civil War service. In a 3 Sep 1994 phone
2 CONT conversation, Mary Lillian noted that her great-grandfather would buy
2 CONT a gallon of "white whiskey" with 15 cents from his Confederate Pension
2 CONT money and add a teaspoon of it to his breakfast coffee "instead of
2 CONT cream" to make "Lace Coffee." The following is from the 10 Oct 1916
2 CONT issue of the Guntersville Advertiser published in Guntersville,
2 CONT Marshall Co, AL: R.J. Culpepper is 86 years old and enjoys good health
2 CONT for a man of his age. He has lived on Sand mountain 28 years [arriving
2 CONT circa 1888]. Uncle Jeff as he is familiarly called, has 8 living
2 CONT children, 53 grandchildren, 98 great grandchildren and 3 great great
2 CONT grandchildren, which is, we believe, getting pretty close to the
2 CONT record in this county.
2 CONT
2 CONT Robert Jefferson Culpepper died three years later, apparently while
2 CONT visiting his grandson, Charlie J. Williams, across the county line in
2 CONT Joppa, Cullman Co., AL. Two days later, Charlie wrote his
2 CONT half-brother, Larcus Culpepper who, according to Mary Lillian, was
2 CONT living in Texas: larcus I am Very Sorry But he had to go Some time and
2 CONT I guess now was as good time as eny they beried him at Corinth [south
2 CONT of Joppa, Cullman Co., AL] and then they taking up granma and moved
2 CONT here [her] up there and Beried her Beside him.... he was awfull Bad
2 CONT and he died that night about twelve oclock.....
2 CONT
2 CONT Mary Lillian added in a 18 Jan 1979 letter: Great Grandpa Jeff has a
2 CONT war emblem by his tomb shaped like a 3 or 4 leaf clover, made of iron
2 CONT or steel. He had a pocket watch with a chain & watch fob looked like
2 CONT the iron emblem at his grave. My grandfather [John James Culpepper]
2 CONT kept it, long as he lived.... Uncle Frank Culpepper [Francis Marion

1 NOTE 1880 Census  Wesobulga Beat 4, Clay Co., AL. ED 34-1:
2 CONT Lurana 45 GA in hh of R. J. Culpepper).\
2 CONT
2 CONT Although the obituary clearly gives her date of birth and death and
2 CONT calculates her age at death, marriage and census records indicate that
2 CONT she was probably born before 1834, probably in 1832. If Louraney had
2 CONT been born in 1834, she would have been 14 years old when she married,
2 CONT not impossible for the times, but unlikely since no parent gave
2 CONT permission for the marriage based on the marriage record. Also, two
2 CONT years later, in the 1850 census, Louraney was listed as being 18 years
2 CONT old which would suggest a birth year of 1832. In the 1860 census, she
2 CONT age was listed as being 27 years of age, which, depending on when the
2 CONT census was taken, could still support an 1832 date of birth or an 1833
2 CONT date of birth. In the 1870 census, her age was given as 39, which
2 CONT would suggest an 1830 or 1831 year of birth. Finally, in the 1880
2 CONT census, Louraney's age was given as 45. This would suggest a date of
2 CONT birth of 1834 or 1835. Louraney was probably born in 1832.
2 CONT
2 CONT Although Louraney had been born in Georgia, by 1848 she had moved,
2 CONT presumably with her parents, to Chambers Co., AL since this is where
2 CONT she married. She is found in the 1850 census of Chambers Co., AL with
2 CONT her husband. By 1860, Robert Jefferson and Louraney had moved their
2 CONT family to Randolph Co., AL where they remained until after the 1870
2 CONT census. By the 1880 census the family had moved on to Clay Co., AL
2 CONT where "Lurana" was recorded with her husband, R. J. Culpepper, and
2 CONT younger children in Wesobulga Beat 4. According to Mary Lillian Butler
2 CONT Pierce, Louraney and Robert Jefferson moved with their son, John James
2 CONT Culpepper, to the Sand Mountain area of Marshall Co., AL. Some of the
2 CONT extended family settled across the county line in Joppa, Cullman Co.,
2 CONT AL. Since the 1890 U. S. census burned we do not know exactly where
2 CONT everyone was situated at this point but according to her obituary,
2 CONT Louraney died in 1894 while living with or visiting children and
2 CONT grandchildren who were living in Joppa, Cullman Co., AL. The following
2 CONT obituary preserved by great-granddaughter, Mrs. J. E. (Ann White)
2 CONT Hicks, is from an unknown source: "CULPEPPER -- Miss Louraney Cardwell
2 CONT was born June the 8th 1834  and was married to R. J. Culpepper Dec.
2 CONT the 19th 1848, and died at her home, near Joppa, Cullman County, Ala.
2 CONT Jan. the 2nd 1894, aged 59 years, 6 months and 25 days. Mrs. Culpepper
2 CONT joined the Methodist Church South in 1872, and from that time on, she
2 CONT lived an humble, christian life. She dearly loved her church, and was
2 CONT untiring in her efforts to promote the cause of Christ. Mrs. Culpepper
2 CONT was the mother of eleven children, two have preceded her to the
2 CONT Heavenly Land, while nine are left to mourn their loss, but their loss
2 CONT is her eternal gain, for she has gone where sorrow, pain, sickness and
2 CONT death are felt and feared no more. Her life was an exemplary one, she
2 CONT was a loving wife, a kind and gentle mother. She will be sadly missed
2 CONT at home, at church and in the neighborhood, she was loved by all who
2 CONT knew her. The writer has known her for several years and to know her
2 CONT was to love her. We tender our heart-felt sympathy to the bereaved
2 CONT family. A. S. A. Meaders. "
2 CONT
2 CONT Only ten of the eleven children have been accounted for. Possibly one
2 CONT child died at birth or died young and between census years. Finally,
2 CONT Louraney's daughter, "Plyna Smith" (Mrs. L. W. (Pauline Culpepper)
2 CONT Smith), was listed in an article about a 1935 John James Culpepper
2 CONT family reunion with "aunt Fanny Busby" (Mrs. H. B. (Nancy Ann Frances
2 CONT Elizabeth Alice Culpepper) Busby) of Albertville. This was a daughter
2 CONT of William Washington and Ferby (Cardwell) Culpepper.

2 CONT J. Culpepper  b. November 4, 1797 on Saturday at 10 o'clock A.M.
2 CONT
2 CONT John Jefferson's parents are believed to have been living in
2 CONT Orangeburg District, SC at the time of his birth in an area which was
2 CONT designated Lexington District in the 1800 census and which later
2 CONT became Lexington Co., SC. In the 1800 census, John Jefferson's father,
2 CONT John Culpepper, was listed as a head of household with his young
2 CONT family, including, John Jefferson Culpepper, in Lexington District,
2 CONT SC. By 1810, John Jefferson's parents had moved the family back across
2 CONT the Congaree River to Richland District, SC. Possibly this took place
2 CONT in 1807 when John Jefferson's father, John was made an administrator
2 CONT of Daniel Peek's estate. John Jefferson was recorded with his parents
2 CONT in the 1810 census of Richland District, SC. Some time after this
2 CONT census, John Jefferson would have moved with his parents to Edgefield
2 CONT District, SC which shared a portion of its eastern border with
2 CONT Lexington District, SC.
2 CONT
2 CONT Although no record has been found, John Jefferson Culpepper is
2 CONT believed to have married Catherine Bell by 1816 in Edgefield District,
2 CONT SC where their parents owned land. A son, born circa 1817, gave his
2 CONT place of birth as Georgia in the 1850 census. Although it is possible
2 CONT that the couple moved to Georgia and returned by 1820 when their next
2 CONT child was born, it is more likely that the son, who was not living
2 CONT near his parents at the time of the 1850 census, simply knew that he
2 CONT had grown up in Georgia and said that he had been born there.
2 CONT Unfortunately, neither John Jefferson nor his father, John Culpepper,
2 CONT has been located as a head of household in the 1820 census of South
2 CONT Carolina or Georgia. However, since John Culpepper, Senior was granted
2 CONT land in Edgefield District, SC in 1814 and he sold land there in 1823,
2 CONT the family is presumed to have still been in South Carolina in 1820
2 CONT and it is possible that John Jefferson and Catherine were still in
2 CONT Edgefield District, SC in 1820 as well, living near Catherine's
2 CONT widowed mother, Barbary Bell, but overlooked in the census.
2 CONT
2 CONT John Jefferson's father, John Culpepper, is known to have moved his
2 CONT family to Georgia when son, Lewis P. Culpepper, was about seven years
2 CONT old meaning that the family probably moved in the Fall of 1823. John
2 CONT Jefferson and Catherine (Bell) Culpepper presumably moved their young
2 CONT family to Georgia about this same time although when Barbary Bell,
2 CONT Catherine (Bell) Culpepper's mother, died in 1826, John Jefferson and
2 CONT his wife apparently returned to South Carolina to settle the estate.
2 CONT
2 CONT A land lottery was held in Georgia in 1827. In order to take part in
2 CONT the lottery, John J. Culpepper would have to have been in Georgia for
2 CONT at least three years, i.e., at least since April 1824. As a married
2 CONT man and a citizen of the United States and who had lived in Georgia
2 CONT for three years, John Jefferson would have been eligible for two draws
2 CONT in the lottery. According to Land Lottery Register No. 11 published by
2 CONT Grantland & Orme, on April 2, 1827 "John J. Culpepper" from Captain
2 CONT Turner's District, Monroe Co., GA drew lot #230 which was 202 ½ acres
2 CONT in District 5 of Section 1, Lee Co., GA. The land was in Randolph
2 CONT County, GA when John sold it: "JOHN J. CULPEPPER of Upson Co. to

2 CONT Dist. Wit.: Eldridge Glabonip, William Caper, J.P." (Randolph Co. GA

2 CONT Culpepper's father and therefore, John Culpepper, Sr. Since John

2 CONT ________________________Recorded this 12th May 1829
2 CONT
2 CONT "John J. Culpepper" was listed in the 1830 Upson Co., GA census with
2 CONT his wife and 1 male 10-15 years of age, 1 male 15-20 years of age, and
2 CONT 1 female 10-15 years of age. The older boy has not been identified. If
2 CONT a son, then John Jefferson and Catherine (Bell) Culpepper would have
2 CONT to have married when they were 11-16 years of age and the son has not
2 CONT been identified in later census records. But the age would also match
2 CONT that of John Jefferson Culpepper's younger brother, William Henry
2 CONT Culpepper, who has not been found in the 1830 census and who married
2 CONT in 1831 in Upson Co., GA.
2 CONT
2 CONT As a fortunate drawer in the 1827 lottery, it is not clear that John
2 CONT Jefferson Culpepper was eligible for the 1832 Gold Lottery unless for
2 CONT some reason he was considered NOT to have "taken out a grant for said
2 CONT land lot." In any event "John J. Culpepper" won Gold Lot 380 in
2 CONT district 19 of section 3. This would have been a 40 acre lot near the
2 CONT lower center border of Paulding Co., GA. It is not known if John
2 CONT Jefferson ever mined his Paulding Co., GA land or if he sold it but by
2 CONT 1840 he had moved on to Chambers Co., AL. Possibly the family moved in
2 CONT 1835 or 1836 along with John J. Culpepper's brothers, Francis and
2 CONT James. Or perhaps the family moved in 1837 after the marriage of John
2 CONT Jefferson's son, John J. Culpepper. The elder John J. Culpepper was
2 CONT listed in the 1840 census of Chambers Co., AL. One male and one female
2 CONT 40-50 were recorded, presumably John and his wife, Catherine. Two
2 CONT males 5-10 and one female 15-20 were listed in the household,
2 CONT presumably the three younger children, Robert, William and Elizabeth.
2 CONT The "John J. Culpepper" recorded in the 1840 census of Upson Co., GA
2 CONT (1m 0-5 1m 20-30 1f 15-20), was a son of John Jefferson and Catherine
2 CONT (Bell) Culpepper who was born approximately 1817, who married
2 CONT Elizabeth Stallings in 1837, and who would have had a son, Lewis L.
2 CONT Culpepper, who would have been approximately two years old in 1840.
2 CONT The John Jefferson Culpepper family remained in Chambers Co., AL at
2 CONT least until 1850 when John Culpepper was listed as a farmer in the
2 CONT 1850 Chambers Co., AL census with his wife, Catherine, and son,
2 CONT William. Their daughter, Elizabeth, who had married Robert Johnson,
2 CONT was living next door.
2 CONT
2 CONT In the 1850 census, John Jefferson Culpepper was listed as having real
2 CONT estate valued at $300. However, 22 Aug 1850 "John J. Culpepper" bought
2 CONT or was granted 139 46/100 acres of land (Certificate or Warrant
2 CONT 68.157) in the South East part of Section 3 of Township 22 South,
2 CONT Range 10 East of Randolph Co., AL. This land appears to be to the
2 CONT northwest of what is now Wadley and southeast of Almond. The land
2 CONT appears to be split from the southeast corner to the northwest corner
2 CONT by route 77. Presumably, John Jefferson Culpepper moved with his wife
2 CONT and youngest sons to Randolph Co., AL about this time. However, the
2 CONT second marriage of William Washington Culpepper, John Jefferson and
2 CONT Catherine (Bell) Culpepper's youngest son, took place in Chambers Co.,
2 CONT AL Dec 1855 at the home of William's brother, Robert J. Culpepper, and
2 CONT John Jefferson Culpepper was a bondsman. Possibly, since John
2 CONT Jefferson lived close to the Chambers Co., AL border, he just went
2 CONT back for the occasion. In 1860, John J. Culpepper was listed with his
2 CONT wife, Catherine, and grandson, John J. Culpepper, at Almond P. O. near
2 CONT Louina (now Wadley), Randolph Co., AL. John J. Culpepper was listed in
2 CONT the 1870 census of Louina P. O. (now Wadley) Randolph Co., AL. John
2 CONT was living near the families of his two sons, Robert and William and a
2 CONT grandson, John Jr. According to p. 112 of Historical Records of
2 CONT Randolph County, Alabama 1832-1900 from the 12 Feb 1875 issue of the
2 CONT Randolph Enterprise the following had their land sold for taxes: On
2 CONT March 1, 1875 the property belonging to the following named persons
2 CONT was to be sold at public auction to the highest bidder from the Court
2 CONT House in Wedowee... BEAT VIII _____Township 21, Range 10... John J.
2 CONT Culpepper... W. W. Culpepper....
2 CONT
2 CONT John Jefferson Culpepper would have been 77 years old when he lost
2 CONT this land which was north of the land he purchased or was granted in
2 CONT 1850 and John Jefferson apparently still owned land nearby since he
2 CONT was noted in the 1880 census of Randolph Co., AL. John William
2 CONT Culpepper wrote in an 18 Aug 1994 letter that Mrs. John (Edith
2 CONT Champion) Zuber, a great-great granddaughter of John Jefferson
2 CONT Culpepper, told him that John Jefferson Culpepper lived on the land
2 CONT which Mrs. Zuber's mother's sold in 1950.
2 CONT
2 CONT John William Culpepper wrote 18 Aug 1994 that he had located Mrs. John
2 CONT (Edith Champion) Zuber, a great-great-granddaughter of John Jefferson
2 CONT Culpepper. John William believes that the land that Edith's mother,
2 CONT Mrs. M. A. (Inez Culpepper) Champion, sold in 1950 was the land that
2 CONT had originally belonged to John Jefferson Culpepper's father, John
2 CONT Culpepper. The land appears to have been a 58.84 acre lot which was
2 CONT noted as Fraction C of section 14 in Township 22 Range 10 of Randolph
2 CONT Co., AL. The land is south of Wadley on the Chambers County line and
2 CONT Route 22 crosses diagonally through the bottom half of the land. It
2 CONT was originally granted to William Culpepper 21 Feb 1850. Mrs.
2 CONT Champion's grandfather, William Washington Culpepper, a son of John
2 CONT Jefferson Culpepper, would have been only 15 years old at that date so
2 CONT it is assumed that William Henry Culpepper, John Jefferson Culpepper's
2 CONT brother, was granted the land. John Culpepper, Sr. is known from
2 CONT census records to have been living near present day Wadley in 1850 and
2 CONT an extant letter from him to a son, Francis G. Culpepper, indicates
2 CONT that he owned land in the area but only his sons show up in land
2 CONT records. Since John Culpepper, Sr. had "broken up housekeeping" by
2 CONT 1853, it is assumed that he was living on one of the parcels that was
2 CONT in the name of one of his sons. John William wrote of a visit to Mrs.
2 CONT Champion's former property: You will see that rt. 22 leaves Wadley in
2 CONT a Southwesternly direction. The home of current residents, Mr. and
2 CONT Mrs. J. T. Edge, is approximately 3/4 of a mile from Wadley, on Rt. 22
2 CONT [near the Chambers Co., AL line]. I don't know how far east the
2 CONT property extends [it appears to extend to a point where a secondary
2 CONT road branches south to Chambers Co., AL], but I believe it extends
2 CONT north to Hutton Creek [it appears to cover about 2/3 of the distance
2 CONT from the Chambers Co., AL border to Hutton Creek].... Mrs. John Zuber,
2 CONT (Edith Champion Zuber) daughter of Inez Culpepper Champion [Mrs. M. A.
2 CONT Champion], daughter of Robert Benjamin Culpepper, son of William
2 CONT Washington Culpepper, son of John Jefferson Culpepper advises that her
2 CONT mother sold the property to Mrs. Edge's father in the 1950's.... She
2 CONT said that John Jefferson Culpepper lived at the place with his wife
2 CONT and two sons and remained there after their sons moved to Sand
2 CONT Mountain [Marshall Co., AL]. John and his wife are buried at the
2 CONT Concord Baptist Church Cemetery, located half way between Wadley and
2 CONT Roanoke, Alabama [John Jefferson Culpepper and his wife, Catherine,
2 CONT are not listed in an index to Concord Church Cemetery records possibly
2 CONT because the graves were unmarked or because the markings can no longer
2 CONT be read].... Mrs. Zuber stated that her mother lived at the home place
2 CONT until her husband died and a few years after but found it too much
2 CONT work and moved. It was after she moved that the house on Rt. 22 burned
2 CONT to the ground.
2 CONT
2 CONT In a 3 May 1994 letter, John William Culpepper wrote of attempting to
2 CONT locate the location of the house: We located the owner of the property
2 CONT and his wife a Mr. J. T. Edge and his wife Marian.... J. T. Edge took
2 CONT up back of his home over a hill and a short way down the other side of
2 CONT a dirt road where a house used to be. We found the well and a few
2 CONT cedar trees but no visible ground parks of a home. This was the
2 CONT location site mentioned by a lady they talked with who identified the
2 CONT Edge Place as being the former Culpepper property and residence of
2 CONT John and Nancy [Nancy appears to have died in Georgia before John came
2 CONT to Alabama]. We noticed that about 150 yards east of the Edge house,
2 CONT which fronts on State route 22, there stands two tall rock chimneys
2 CONT approximately 45 to 50 feet apart. He took us to the site and said the
2 CONT log house was large with a dog trot in the middle and when they came
2 CONT here there were people still living in the house. He said a nearby
2 CONT well which was covered with branches is 90 feet deep. The Edge house
2 CONT is the location of the original house but a few feet further back from
2 CONT the semi circular drive. The original house burned and scorched the
2 CONT nearby trees which he said were planted by Charles Culpepper the
2 CONT botanist who moved to the Washington area. The old road used to go
2 CONT between the inside of the drive and the current road, Rt. 22. Facing
2 CONT the Edge home on the left of the house but on the other side of the
2 CONT old road was a carriage shop and on the east side of the drive was a
2 CONT blacksmith shop. Mr. Edge said the property was a Culpepper land
2 CONT grant....
2 CONT
2 CONT Mrs. Deam and Mrs. Sisco preserved the Bible record of John Jefferson
2 CONT Culpepper's death: d. May 4, 1885.
2 CONT
2 CONT The Concord Baptist Church cemetery is about 3 ½ miles east of where
2 CONT John Jefferson Culpepper was living, on Route 22, on the opposite side
2 CONT of the Tallapoosa River. It is on the same side of the river as the
2 CONT now defunct town of Louina which was replaced about 1900 as a
2 CONT population center by Wadley on the opposite of the river. Is it
2 CONT possible that this is also where John Culpepper was buried?

1 NOTE 1860 Census  Almond P. O. District, near Louina (now Wadley), Randolph
2 CONT Co., AL. p. 838? #1526: Catherine 65 SC in hh of John J. Culpepper.
2 CONT
2 CONT According to census records, Catherine was born in South Carolina. Her
2 CONT mother, Barbary, was recorded in the 1820 census of Edgefield
2 CONT District, SC and this is where Catherine is believed to have married
2 CONT John Jefferson Culpepper. Barbary Bell died sometime after the 1820
2 CONT census and before Jan 1826 when "Catharine Culpepper" and her husband,
2 CONT "John J. Culpepper" were listed in a 13 Jan 1826 Edgefield District,
2 CONT SC deed with Wm. Bell, Robert Bell, Margaret Bell and Mary Bell as
2 CONT heirs of Barbary Bell. The land mentioned in the deed was on Cuffeeton
2 CONT Creek by Josiah Langley's Mill bounding Elijah Harding, Benjamin
2 CONT Hasting and Geo. McDuffie's land, and had originally been granted to
2 CONT Geo. Shelnut and was very close if not adjacent to the land that John
2 CONT Culpepper, Senior sold in 1823. The heirs of Barbary Bell granted the
2 CONT land to Wm. H. Buffington for $651. Hugh Mosely and Henry Shelnut were
2 CONT witnesses and releases were signed by Catherine Culpepper wife of John
2 CONT J. Culpepper and Mary Ann Bell wife of William Bell on 13 Jan 1826.
2 CONT The deed was recorded 22 Nov 1830. Catherine and John J. Culpepper
2 CONT presumably returned from Georgia to settle the estate since based on
2 CONT 1827 Georgia Land Lottery records, John J. Culpepper, was supposed to
2 CONT have been in Georgia since 1824.
2 CONT
2 CONT Catherine was recorded with her husband and children in the 1830
2 CONT census of Upson Co., GA and the 1840 and 1850 Chambers Co., AL census.
2 CONT And Catherine was noted in the 1860 census of Almond P. O. District,
2 CONT near Louina (now Wadley), Randolph Co., AL with her husband and
2 CONT grandson. She was not noted in the 1870 census and is presumed to have
2 CONT died in the interim in Randolph Co., AL.
2 CONT
2 CONT John William Culpepper wrote 18 Aug 1994 that a descendant, Mrs. John
2 CONT (Edith Champion) Zuber, said that Catherine was buried with her
2 CONT husband in the Concord Baptist Church Cemetery. The grave was not
2 CONT recorded in the index of church cemetery records possibly because the
2 CONT grave was unmarked or is too worn to read.

2 CONT Biography*: John Culpepper's Bible is believed to have existed in the
2 CONT early 1900's. Mrs. J. W. (Ira Gay) Deam of Gay, GA, a descendant of
2 CONT Joel Culpepper, John's oldest son, preserved a copy of family records
2 CONT which were supposed to have been in the Bible. Mrs. D. W. (Lavyn
2 CONT Wright) Sisco transcribed Mrs. Deam's records which began with the
2 CONT record of the marriage of John and Nancy (Gillespie) Culpepper
2 CONT followed by the note: John Culpepper was born on October 1, 1772
2 CONT
2 CONT Full death dates were recorded for John and Nancy (Gillespie)
2 CONT Culpepper and all of their children except for William Henry and Lewis
2 CONT Peek Culpepper. A note was made after William Henry's birth record
2 CONT noting that he had died "1909 Randolph County Alabama." The note after
2 CONT Lewis Peek Culpepper's birth record read "Living in Chambers Co." So
2 CONT the record appears to have been copied sometime after 1909 and before
2 CONT 1915 when Lewis Peek Culpepper died. The Bible is not known to be in
2 CONT the possession of any of the descendants of William Henry or Lewis
2 CONT Peek Culpepper or of Mrs. J. W. (Ira Gay) Deam. There is a possibility
2 CONT that the Bible was still in existence 8 Oct 1942 when Rev. George
2 CONT Bright Culpepper wrote "ONE FAMILY - CULPEPPER" a 25 page typed,
2 CONT double-spaced summary of the descendants of Daniel Peek Culpepper.
2 CONT Rev. Culpepper wrote about Daniel Peek Culpepper's father: John
2 CONT William Culpepper was born in Richland District, fork of the Congaree
2 CONT and Wateree Rivers, South Carolina, October 1, 1772, according to the
2 CONT record in his family Bible, set down in his own hand.
2 CONT
2 CONT The statement raises several questions, one of which is, did Rev.
2 CONT Culpepper have the Bible when he wrote this or was he working from a
2 CONT copy of the record or from other notes. Rev. Culpepper later made
2 CONT reference to "my scrapbook" which had information about the family. A
2 CONT granddaughter of Rev. Culpepper, Mrs. J. D. (Dorothy Culpepper)
2 CONT Wingfield, wrote 12 May 1993 that "I have no idea whether Geo. B. ever
2 CONT had possession of that bible."
2 CONT A second problem is that only two copies of John Culpepper's signature
2 CONT are known to exist. On an 1807 bond which was included in the estate
2 CONT papers of Daniel Peak/Peek, John signed his name "John Culpeper" but
2 CONT in 1853, he signed his name "John Culpepper" on a letter to his son,
2 CONT Francis G. Culpepper. Otherwise the signatures are the same. Spelling
2 CONT was in a state of flux during John Culpepper's lifetime and it was
2 CONT considered a sign of education if one was able to spell the same word
2 CONT several different ways. But apparently, by the end of his life, John
2 CONT had settled on the Culpepper spelling. Neither signature had a middle
2 CONT initial. As noted above, Rev. George B. Culpepper specified that
2 CONT John's name was "John William Culpepper" "according to the record in
2 CONT his family Bible, set down in his own hand." But the record copied by
2 CONT Mrs. Deam and Mrs. Sisco gave the name as "John Culpepper." Where did
2 CONT the "William" come from? Joseph Richard Culpepper, a grandson of John
2 CONT Culpepper, had gotten a copy of a "history" that was being circulated
2 CONT in various branches of the family which showed that the family
2 CONT descended from a "John Marlo Culpeper" who was alleged to have been
2 CONT the John Culpeper of Culpeper's Rebellion and "first cousin to Lord
2 CONT Culpepper (Colepepper) who was Gov. of Virginia." The list continued
2 CONT down through "John William Culpepper" born "1774" a son of "Charles
2 CONT Marion Culpepper." Joseph Richard Culpepper puzzled over this document
2 CONT and did not know what to make of it. Finally, as Joseph Richard
2 CONT Culpepper noted in a letter to his cousin, Rev. George Bright
2 CONT Culpepper: I wrote to Father [Lewis Peek Culpepper] asking him to give
2 CONT me all the information he could relative to his father, grandfather,
2 CONT etc. He knows nothing farther back than his grandfather who was John
2 CONT instead of Charles Marion.... He says there were three brothers, John,
2 CONT Ben and Joseph. John was my great grandfather as was Joseph, also, on
2 CONT my mother's side.... John William was my father's father and your
2 CONT father's grandfather....
2 CONT
2 CONT If only we had the letter that Lewis Peek Culpepper wrote to his son,
2 CONT we might be able to see if he had actually named his father "John
2 CONT William Culpepper" or if he had named both his father and grandfather
2 CONT "John Culpepper" and Joseph Richard Culpepper had used the "John
2 CONT William Culpepper" from the history in an attempt to reconcile the
2 CONT alleged history with what his father had written and in order to
2 CONT clearly distinguish his grandfather from his great-grandfather in his
2 CONT letter to Rev. Culpepper. In any event, the source of the name "John
2 CONT William Culpepper" was probably the alleged history of the family and
2 CONT Rev. George B. Culpepper would probably have considered Joseph Richard
2 CONT Culpepper's letter a confirmation of the name because Joseph Richard
2 CONT appeared to have been reporting information that he had gotten from
2 CONT his father, Lewis Peek Culpepper.
2 CONT
2 CONT The only other indication of John Culpepper's middle name, if any, is
2 CONT an 1829 Upson Co., GA deed (A 434/5), in which John Jefferson
2 CONT Culpepper deeds land to his father for $5.00, the father's name is
2 CONT listed not once but three times as "John C. Culpepper." The clerk was
2 CONT trying to distinguish the grantor "John J. Culpepper" from the grantee
2 CONT "John Culpepper" and used "John C. Culpepper" to distinguish the two.
2 CONT Since John Culpepper, Senior was not illiterate, the "C" cannot be
2 CONT interpreted as his "mark." But if John Culpepper's middle initial was
2 CONT "C." he did not pass the name to any of his sons. And only one
2 CONT grandson of John Culpepper is known to have a name starting with "C,"
2 CONT Charles William Culpepper, a son of Joel. Could John Culpepper have
2 CONT had a middle name of Charles? It would have been a common name for a
2 CONT supporter of the Stuarts but would have fallen out of favor after the
2 CONT Revolution.
2 CONT Joseph went on in the letter to note that John Culpepper "moved from
2 CONT Virginia to Congaree, South Carolina and then to Edgefield [SC] and
2 CONT from Edgefield to Monroe County, Georgia and later to Meriwether
2 CONT County, Georgia, and to Randolph County, Alabama, where he died in
2 CONT 1855, when I was 12 years old" and not in 1852 as in the alleged
2 CONT history. Again it it not possible to know if Joseph Richard Culpepper
2 CONT was still trying to reconcile the alleged history which said that
2 CONT "John William" was born in Virginia with what his father had told him
2 CONT about the movement of the family. However, in the 1850 census of
2 CONT Randolph Co., AL (p. 386, family 189), John Culpepper gave his place
2 CONT of birth as South Carolina.
2 CONT
2 CONT No records have been found in South Carolina for John Culpepper's
2 CONT presumed father, John. The elder John is believed to have lived in
2 CONT Camden District, SC in an area that became Richland District, SC and
2 CONT many early records for this district were destroyed. If the parents of
2 CONT John Culpepper died young, possibly before or during the Revolution,
2 CONT and John was their only child, then it is unlikely that any record of
2 CONT their existence, outside of family tradition, will ever be found.
2 CONT
2 CONT In trying to identify where John Culpepper was born, it is necessary
2 CONT to look at the extant Culpepper records in districts that existed at
2 CONT the time of his birth. In 1769, the Province of South Carolina was
2 CONT divided into seven districts, three of whom have Culpepper
2 CONT connections: Cheraws, Camden and Orangeburg.
2 CONT Cheraws District was bounded on the west by the Lynches River and the
2 CONT Pedee River ran through the center of it. Nancy Gillespie, who married
2 CONT John Culpepper, is believed to have been born in this district.
2 CONT
2 CONT Joseph Richard Culpepper noted that "Congaree, South Carolina" was one
2 CONT of the places where John Culpepper had lived and Rev. George Bright
2 CONT Culpepper indicated that "John William Culpepper" had been born in
2 CONT "Richland District, fork of the Congaree and Wateree Rivers." Richland
2 CONT District did not exist at the time John Culpepper was born but the
2 CONT Congaree River was part of the Western boundary of the Camden
2 CONT District. The Wateree River ran through the center of the district
2 CONT which was bounded on the east by Lynches River and Cheraws District.
2 CONT The Wateree then joined with the Congaree to form the Santee River. On
2 CONT 3 Apr 1772, Joseph Culpepper, a presumed uncle of John Culpepper,
2 CONT received a grant by "George the Third... Four hundred Acres, situate
2 CONT in Craven County on Tom's Creek, in the fork between Santee River &
2 CONT the Wateree, bounding all sides on Vacant land." Tom's, Thom's or
2 CONT Thomson's Creek as it was known was halfway between the Wateree and
2 CONT Congaree near the confluence which forms the Santee river and was
2 CONT south of present day Columbia, SC. The land was listed as being in
2 CONT "Craven County." This was one of three counties established in 1682
2 CONT and although it had ceased to exist in 1769, it was still used in land
2 CONT transactions to help specify the location of land. 22 Aug 1771, Liddy
2 CONT Culpepper, a presumed grandmother of John Culpepper, was granted 350
2 CONT acres of land on Griffin's Creek which has not been located but was
2 CONT listed as being "in Craven County on the Fork of the Wateree and
2 CONT Congaree River." If any South Carolina land was granted to John
2 CONT Culpepper's father before the Revolution, no record of it has been
2 CONT found. If John Culpepper was born at the fork of the Congaree and the
2 CONT Wateree Rivers then he would have been born on the land of his
2 CONT presumed grandmother in Camden District, SC in an area which later
2 CONT became Richland District, SC and which today would be located just
2 CONT south of Columbia, Richland Co., SC.
2 CONT After the Revolution, in 1785, counties were formed within the
2 CONT districts which had been defined in 1769 but the district boundaries
2 CONT were maintained. The area in which Joseph and Liddy Culpepper had
2 CONT received grants of land was then considered to be in Richland County.
2 CONT In the first census of the United States in 1790, Benjamin and Joseph
2 CONT Culpepper, presumed uncles of John Culpepper, were the only
2 CONT Culpepper's listed as heads of household in South Carolina. They were
2 CONT both listed in Orangeburg District. This district ran southwest from
2 CONT the Congaree and Santee rivers to the Savannah River. John Culpepper
2 CONT probably moved across the Congaree River to Orangeburg District, SC
2 CONT with his presumed uncles and with his presumed grandmother, if she was
2 CONT still living. It is possible that John Culpepper was one of the three
2 CONT males age 16 and older recorded in Joseph Culpepper's household in the
2 CONT 1790 census of Orangeburg District, SC. .
2 CONT
2 CONT In 1793, John turned twenty-one and on May 18th of the following year
2 CONT he married Nancy Gillespie. Presumably, they would have married in the
2 CONT county where Nancy was living but it is not known whether this would
2 CONT have been Cheraws or Camden district. Since Nancy's presumed
2 CONT grandfather, Daniel Peek, left an estate in what was then Richland
2 CONT District (Richland County was part of Camden District in 1793), it
2 CONT possible that the marriage took place in Richland Co., SC. Mrs. J. W.
2 CONT (Ira Gay) Deam preserved the following John Culpepper Bible record
2 CONT which was copied by Mrs. D. W. (Lavyn Wright) Sisco: John Culpepper
2 CONT Senior(?) and Nancy Gillespie were married on May 8, 1794, at 9:00
2 CONT A.M. Cloudy, evening fair.
2 CONT
2 CONT In "ONE FAMILY - CULPEPPER" a family summary written 8 Oct 1942, Rev.
2 CONT George Bright Culpepper also references the Bible record of John's
2 CONT marriage: According to the same record, John William Culpepper married
2 CONT Nancey [sic] Gillespie on May 18, 1794, the ceremony being performed
2 CONT by Reverend Reese, at his house on the Congaree. It was on Sunday,
2 CONT cloudy in the morning and fair in the evening.
2 CONT
2 CONT Again, it is frustrating not having the actual Bible record. Which
2 CONT copiest made the error in the date? Was the name really "John William
2 CONT Culpepper"? Supporting Rev. Culpepper's version is that fact that 18
2 CONT May 1794 actually was a Sunday. The location on the Congaree is
2 CONT logical but was it on the Richland District side or on the Orangeburg
2 CONT District side? What was Rev. Reese's first name and where was he
2 CONT located in the 1790 census? There was a Joseph Reese that had land
2 CONT near Joseph and Liddy Culpepper before the Revolution. The Bible
2 CONT records apparently also mention the exact hour of birth of each of the
2 CONT couple's eleven children, a penchant for detail which would continue
2 CONT in more than one branch of the family.
2 CONT In 1785, Lexington County was one of the counties set up in the
2 CONT Orangeburg District. It was directly across the Congaree River from
2 CONT Richland County in Camden District. The county was abolished in 1791
2 CONT but was reinstated as a district in 1804. John Culpepper, age 16-26,
2 CONT was listed as a head-of-household on the 1800 census in the Lexington
2 CONT portion of Orangeburg District, SC. Depending on when the census was
2 CONT taken, John would have been 27 or 28 years old. John was living with
2 CONT his wife and three sons near (1 census page after) Joseph Culpepper.
2 CONT There was also one girl 0-10 years of age that has not been accounted
2 CONT for since the first daughter born to John and Nancy's first daughter,
2 CONT Sarah, was not born until 1802. Since Daniel Peek Culpepper was born
2 CONT in April of 1800, it is possible that this was a young relative who
2 CONT was helping out the new mother. In a 2 Feb 1898 article about Francis
2 CONT Gillespie Culpepper, John Culpepper's son, which appeared in the
2 CONT Shiner Gazette Francis Gillespie was reported to have born in
2 CONT Edgefield District, SC. Francis was still living in 1898 and
2 CONT presumably would have been the source of this information. In
2 CONT addition, another son, Lewis Peek Culpepper, read this same article
2 CONT and found it "a tolerable correct historical account." The obituary of
2 CONT another son, George Washington Culpepper, also gave his place of birth
2 CONT as Edgefield District, SC in 1808. Edgefield District was to the west
2 CONT of Lexington District with which it shared half of its southeastern
2 CONT border. It was bounded on the southwest by the Savannah River which
2 CONT formed the boundary between South Carolina and Georgia. Francis
2 CONT Gillespie was born in 1804 and George Washington Culpepper was born in
2 CONT 1808 but John Culpepper does not show up in Edgefield District land
2 CONT records until 1814. Although the John Culpepper family appears to have
2 CONT been in Edgefield District at least by 1813, it is doubtful that the
2 CONT family was there in 1804. It is more likely that the family was still
2 CONT in Lexington District in the early 1800's.
2 CONT
2 CONT A Lexington, SC researcher, Lee R. Gandee, wrote in a 23 May 1974
2 CONT letter to Billy W. Dunn, that the Congaree plantations were noted for
2 CONT their crops of indigo and tobacco. Lee R. Gandee added: Then nearly
2 CONT all the people in this area pulled up and left, either to the area
2 CONT around Montezuma, Georgia or to Alabama--Kirkpartricks, Taylors,
2 CONT Fitzpatricks, Threewittses--Geigers--everybody who was anybody, for
2 CONT the River began destroying the low land by floods by 1800, and by 1830
2 CONT the River swamps were grown up in a jungle and stagnant water made it
2 CONT a death-feeding pesthole of fevers as malaria and dengue-carrying
2 CONT mosquitoes swarmed.... Two years ago [1972], I walked 7 miles from
2 CONT Thom's Creek to Cayce on the Old State Road, along which these
2 CONT families lived, and did not pass a single house or building. It is now
2 CONT in huge tracts of swamp or woodland or in fields, and floods still
2 CONT sometimes put 15 feet of water over the old road. Just back from the
2 CONT river, not more than a mile or two, the poorest sand land in the
2 CONT county begins, and here, up from the swampy river land are the few
2 CONT houses that remain of the Plantation families....
2 CONT
2 CONT By 1807, John Culpepper appears to have moved his family back across
2 CONT the Congaree River to Richland District, SC where he shows up in
2 CONT Richland District, SC estate records as an administrator of the estate
2 CONT of Daniel Peek, Nancy Gillespie's presumed grandfather. It is
2 CONT interesting to note in these estate papers that Joseph Culpepper,
2 CONT John's presumed uncle, signed the $20,000 Administration Bond with
2 CONT John. And although the name was spelled "Culpepper" throughout the
2 CONT documents by whomever drew up the papers, both men signed their names
2 CONT "Culpeper" at the bottom of the bond:

2 CONT John Culpepper was again listed as a head-of-household in the 1810
2 CONT census of Richland District, SC. He was with his wife and a family
2 CONT which now included six sons and a daughter. An additional 26-45 year
2 CONT old woman, a 16-26 year old woman and a 0-10 year old boy were also
2 CONT listed in the household that year and are unidentified. Could they
2 CONT have been Nancy Gillespie Culpepper's mother, Elizabeth (Peek)
2 CONT Gillespie, sister, Elizabeth (Gillespie) Slappey, with a young son,
2 CONT John Slappey? At some point after this census, John Culpepper moved
2 CONT his family west to Edgefield District, SC. As noted above, the family
2 CONT might have been in Edgefield District before 1804 and then returned to
2 CONT Richland District for the administration of Daniel Peek's will but it
2 CONT is more likely that the family moved to Edgefield District after the
2 CONT 1810 census and possibly because of the War of 1812. A son, William
2 CONT Henry Culpepper, who was born 17 Oct 1813, gave his place of birth as
2 CONT Edgefield District, SC on a Civil War Muster Roll. This would seem to
2 CONT indicate that the John Culpepper family was in Edgefield District, SC
2 CONT by this date but John does not appear in the land records of Edgefield
2 CONT District, SC until Nov 1814 when he received a state grant of 138
2 CONT acres on Cuffee Town Creek. The following is a Grant to John Culpepper
2 CONT 138 A. - Edgefield Nov. 7, 1814, from p. 278 of S. C. Archives State

2 CONT The land was bounded by Frederick Slappey, Matthew Bassett, and
2 CONT others. Cuffey Town Creek parallels the Abbeville District border.
2 CONT John Culpepper and his family were still living in Edgefield District,
2 CONT SC in 1816 when the youngest child, Lewis Peek Culpepper, was born.
2 CONT John does not appear as a head of household in 1820 census, but is
2 CONT presumed to have been living in Edgefield District, SC with his family
2 CONT since in February 1823, John sold 144 acres "where I now live" on
2 CONT Cuffee Town Creek to Josiah Langley for $800. This parcel was one
2 CONT granted to George Shelnut, not his own 138 acre grant, the sale of
2 CONT which was not recorded. It is possible that one of John's married sons
2 CONT or daughters had been left living on the original parcel. The lot John
2 CONT sold in 1823 adjoined Josiah Langley and the heirs of Robert Bell, one
2 CONT of whom was John Culpepper's son, John Jefferson Culpepper, who had
2 CONT married Bell's daughter Catherine. This appears to be the land that
2 CONT William Bell was living on in the 1820 census of Edgefield District,
2 CONT SC. Perhaps John moved his family from his Edgefield District grant
2 CONT land to this lot between 1820 and 1823.
2 CONT
2 CONT John and Nancy moved to Georgia when their son, Lewis, was seven,
2 CONT about 1823 or 1824. This would be in line with John's sale of the 144
2 CONT acres "where I now live" February 1823 in Edgefield District, SC to
2 CONT Josiah Langley. At least two and possibly three of John and Nancy's
2 CONT children moved out ahead of them. Daniel Culpepper's son, James Marion
2 CONT Culpepper, was born Feb 1823 and based on later census records he was
2 CONT born in Georgia. No records have been found showing where the family
2 CONT was located at the time but James Marion's son, Rev.
2 CONT John Butler stated that his father was born in Baldwin Co., GA. Based
2 CONT on later census records, Sarah (Culpepper) Elliott's daughter Cynthia
2 CONT was also born in Georgia circa 1823. A specific place of birth is not
2 CONT known. Another son, John Jefferson Culpepper, and his family might
2 CONT also have moved on ahead although there are no records that any
2 CONT children were born to them during this time period. Baldwin Co., GA
2 CONT would have been on the route between South Carolina and Monroe Co., GA
2 CONT where the family finally emerges in land records.
2 CONT
2 CONT John William Culpepper, a great-great-great-grandson of John and Nancy
2 CONT Culpepper wrote about the Wadley City Cemetery in an 18 Aug 1994
2 CONT letter: On one of the full length stone slabs covering one of the
2 CONT graves in the Wadley Cemetery, there is carving indicating the
2 CONT individual was buried in 1856. Many of the graves with such rock slabs
2 CONT have no carving. It is an old cemetery, and originally the Elliot
2 CONT family cemetery [John Culpepper's daughter, Sarah married an Elliott].
2 CONT The grave with the carving is near the grave of Wm. Henry Culpepper [a
2 CONT son of John and Nancy Culpepper].
2 CONT .
2 CONT It is also possible that the unmarked graves are those of Sarah O.
2 CONT (Culpepper) Elliott and her daughter, Cynthia, who are supposed to be
2 CONT buried in the cemetery.

1 NOTE In the Bible records of the John Culpepper family which were preserved
2 CONT by Mrs. J. W. (Ira Gay) Deam of Gay, GA, and copied by Mrs. D. W.
2 CONT (Lyvyn Wright) Sisco, John Culpepper's wife was recorded as "Nancy
2 CONT Gillespie" born "about 1778." Joseph Richard Culpepper, in a letter to
2 CONT Rev. George Bright Culpepper circa 1910-1915, wrote that Nancy
2 CONT Gillespie's "mother was a Peek."
2 CONT
2 CONT Mrs. John (Dorothy Culpepper) Wingfield preserved a 25 page typed
2 CONT manuscript "ONE FAMILY - CULPEPPER" written by her grandfather, Rev.
2 CONT George Bright Culpepper, who noted: According to the same [John
2 CONT Culpepper Bible] record, John William Culpepper married Nancy
2 CONT Gillespie on May 18, 1794, the ceremony being performed by Reverend
2 CONT Reese, at his house on the Congaree. It was on Sunday, cloudy in the
2 CONT morning and fair in the evening. As best it can be figured, Nancy
2 CONT Gillespie was six years younger than John William, the man she
2 CONT married, and was born on the Peedee River, in South Carolina, near
2 CONT Cheraw. The record recites that to this couple were born eight sons
2 CONT and two daughters.
2 CONT
2 CONT Nancy Gillespie is presumed to have been the daughter of Francis
2 CONT Gillespie of South Carolina since one of her sons was named Francis
2 CONT Gillespie Culpepper. Francis Gillespie owned land in Cheraws District,
2 CONT SC and family tradition is that this was where Nancy Gillespie was
2 CONT born. Francis Gillespie's wife was named Elizabeth based on South
2 CONT Carolina deeds (Book O-3, pp. 436-450) as was Nancy's sister Elizabeth
2 CONT "Betsy" Gillespie who married John Slappey (John Culpepper letter
2 CONT 1853).
2 CONT
2 CONT Nancy and Betsy Gillespie's presumed mother, Elizabeth, was perhaps a
2 CONT daughter or sister of Daniel Peek. In 1807, John Culpepper and John
2 CONT Slappey were listed as administrators of Daniel Peek's Richland
2 CONT District estate. The bond was also signed by Joseph Culpepper and
2 CONT George Slappey. Buyers at the estate sale included John Culpepper and
2 CONT John Slappey, Elizabeth Gillespie, and others. Prior to his death,
2 CONT Daniel Peek may have given land to John and Nancy Gillespie Culpepper
2 CONT which would account for their move back to Richland District, SC.
2 CONT Daniel Peek's surviving estate records do not mention land but include
2 CONT sixteen slaves, several horses, hogs, and farm produce, indicating
2 CONT that he had been a planter and landowner.
2 CONT
2 CONT In Feburary 1823 when John Culpepper sold (Deed Book 43, pp. 322-323,
2 CONT Edgefield Co., SC) 144 acres "where I now live" on Cuffeetown Creek in
2 CONT Edgefield District, SC, this was not the land that he had been granted

2 CONT
2 CONT There is a question about whether Mrs. John (Nancy Gillespie)
2 CONT Culpepper died in Meriwether Co., GA or in Randolph Co., AL. Mrs. J.
2 CONT (Clara Haralson) Moorcroft wrote in "THE WILLIAM CULPEPPER AND SALLY
2 CONT LESLIE FAMILY," that the widowed John Culpepper accompanied the
2 CONT William Henry Culpepper family from Meriwether Co., GA to Randolph
2 CONT Co., AL when Clara's mother's was six years old. This would seem to
2 CONT indicate that Nancy Gillespie Culpepper died in Meriwether Co., GA.
2 CONT However there were Elliott descendants living near the Wadley City
2 CONT Cemetery, Randolph Co., AL in the mid 1970's who believed that both
2 CONT John and Nancy Culpepper were buried on their land in Randolph Co.,
2 CONT AL. Unfortunately, no records of the location of that land have been
2 CONT found. Lavyn (Wright) Sisco wrote 15 Apr 1994 that she had visited the
2 CONT Wadley City Cemetery with a Dean descendant in 1985 and was told that
2 CONT the two graves to the left of William Henry Culpepper were the graves
2 CONT of John and Nancy (Gillsepie) Culpepper. However Lavyn was also told
2 CONT in a 1973 letter from James Harris that William Henry Culpepper's
2 CONT first wife, Sarah Leslie, was the first person buried in the cemetery.
2 CONT If that is correct then Nancy died a year before Sarah and is not
2 CONT buried in the cemetery. It is possible that the two graves to the left
2 CONT of William Henry are those of Sarah O. (Culpepper) Elliott and her
2 CONT daughter Cynthia, both of whom are supposed to be buried in the
2 CONT cemetery but whose graves have not been identified. The cemetery was
2 CONT known as the Elliott family cemetery before it became the Wadley City
2 CONT Cemetery.
2 CONT
2 CONT Ruth Vincent Carlisle Brice, born in July 1906, is a triple Culpepper
2 CONT descendant. Her paternal grandmother was Emily Miriam Culpepper, who
2 CONT was the daughter of William Henry and Sarah Leslie Culpepper. Ruth's
2 CONT paternal grandfather was Broxon Yarbrough Carlisle, whose maternal
2 CONT grandmother was Sarah Oglethorpe Culpepper, a daughter of JOHN and
2 CONT NANCY GILLESPIE CULPEPPER. Ruth's mother's paternal grandmother was
2 CONT Mary Elizabeth Culpeper, sister of the above Sarah Oglethorpe
2 CONT Culpepper. Ruth now lives in Georgia near her son, Forrest Brice
2 CONT (Source: Granddaughter, Kathryn Ruth Brice.) (Ruth died 1 May 2004.)
2 CONT
2 CONT No records have been found in Georgia for John Culpepper or any of his
2 CONT children until John appears in land lottery and deed records in Monroe
2 CONT Co., GA in 1827. According to p. 42 of Monroe County, Georgia A
2 CONT History compiled and published in 1979 by the Monroe County Historical
2 CONT Society, Inc. in Forsythe, GA: The territory which comprises Monroe
2 CONT County is part of the land ceded by the Creek Nation in a number of
2 CONT treaties with the United States. The principal treaty was entered into
2 CONT at Indian Springs in the Creek Nation on January 8, 1821, between the
2 CONT United States, represented by Daniel M. Farney of the State of North
2 CONT Carolina, and David Meriwether of the State of Georgia, and chiefs,
2 CONT headman, warriors of the Creek Nation, in Council assembled. The land
2 CONT in question was all land lying east of the Flint River and running up
2 CONT the eastern bank of the same, along the water's edge to the head of
2 CONT the principal western branch, which was later named Line Creek. From
2 CONT the head of Line Creek the direction took the nearest and most direct
2 CONT line to the Chattahoochee River. It then followed the eastern bank of
2 CONT the Chattahoochee to the "Shallow Ford," where the boundary between
2 CONT the Creek Nation and the State of Georgia at the time touched the
2 CONT river. The Creek Nation had made many improvements in several sections
2 CONT of this land, and these were one thousand acres to be laid off in a
2 CONT square so as to include the Indian Springs in the center; six hundred
2 CONT forty acres on the western bank of the Ocmulgee River to include the
2 CONT improvements in the possession of the Indian Chief, General William
2 CONT McIntosh.... Within this treaty there was agreed to be paid to the
2 CONT Creek Nation for the cession of this land a total amount of two
2 CONT hundred thousand dollars in fourteen consecutive payments.... This
2 CONT treaty at Indian Springs was not generally accepted by Creek people
2 CONT since they were being gradually crowded out of the land of their
2 CONT forefathers. For this reason it was decreed by the Creek Nation that
2 CONT no further treaty would be signed with the whites unless the entire
2 CONT Creek Nation was in full agreement and then it was only to be signed
2 CONT by those appointed by the nation for that purpose. In spite of this,
2 CONT however, on February 12, 1825, another treaty was entered into with
2 CONT the Creek Nation at Indian Springs. This treaty was signed by all the
2 CONT chiefs and headmen of all Creek towns except those of Tohauhatchee.
2 CONT The land ceded in this treaty included all the land lying within the
2 CONT boundaries of the State of Georgia as defined by the compact.... The
2 CONT land was divided into five counties: Dooly, Houston, Monroe, Fayette
2 CONT and Henry....
2 CONT
2 CONT 3 Jan 1827, "John Culpepper Sr. of Monroe" bought 202 1/2 acres (Lot
2 CONT 223 Book E p. 179 witnessed by James Wilson and E. Dodson, recorded 20
2 CONT Nov 1827) in the Twelfth District of Monroe County, GA for $800 from
2 CONT Warren T. Castleberry and sold it the next year for the same price.
2 CONT This would seem to show that John was already in Monroe before he
2 CONT bought the land. G. W. Elliott, witnessed the 1828 deed. It is not
2 CONT known if he was related to William Elliott, the husband of John
2 CONT Culpepper's daughter, Sarah. By 1830, John and Nancy had only one son,
2 CONT Lewis, still living at home with them in Monroe County, GA. Living
2 CONT nearby was Mary (Corley) Culpepper, widow of John's son, Daniel.
2 CONT Sometime between 1830 and 1832, John and Nancy apparently moved on to
2 CONT Crawford Co., GA where there sons Joel and James had been recorded in
2 CONT the 1830 census. "John Culpepper, Sen[ior]" of "Marshall's, Crawford"
2 CONT drew lot 174 in the 22nd district of section 3 of the 1832 Cherokee
2 CONT Land Lottery of Georgia. As a married man who was a U. S. citizen with
2 CONT a son under 18 years of age who was a U. S. citizen and who had lived
2 CONT in Georgia for three years, he would have been entitled to two draws.
2 CONT The land was a 160 acre lot located in the southeast corner of what
2 CONT was Floyd Co., GA and is now on the southern border of Bartow Co., GA
2 CONT near where Paulding and Cobb Co. meet the Bartow Co., line. No record
2 CONT has been found of John and Nancy moving to the land, nor has any
2 CONT record been found of the sale of the land. The family is next noted
2 CONT moving on to Meriwether Co., GA.
2 CONT
2 CONT In the mid-1830's, John and Nancy Culpepper moved to Meriwether
2 CONT County, GA along with son, William Henry Culpepper, and his family.
2 CONT Another son, George W. Culpepper, was already living in Meriwether
2 CONT Co., GA. John and Nancy bought land there in 1838. A descendant, John
2 CONT William Culpepper, obtained a copy of deed F-396 in which, on 24 May
2 CONT 1838, Eli Peavy sold 50 acres on the north side of land lot #255 in
2 CONT the 8th District of Meriwether County, Georgia, containing 50 acres to
2 CONT John Culpepper for $35.35. John and Nancy were noted in the 1840
2 CONT census of Meriwether Co., GA (p. 123, John Culpepper 1 male 60-70 with
2 CONT 1 female 50-60 living next to son, William H. Culpepper). The
2 CONT following is an account of John Culpepper as a settler in Greenville,
2 CONT Meriwether Co., GA which appeared in the Greenville, GA Vindicator on
2 CONT April 21, 1905: Nearly eighty years ago a group of hardy yeomanry
2 CONT settled on adjacent farms a few miles northwest of Greenville near the
2 CONT old Ector mill (now Maffett's). They were John, George and William
2 CONT Culpepper, Allen, Eli and David Peavy, Freeman Blount, Daniel Keith,
2 CONT Joel Sears, William Sutherland, Robert Kendrick, James Martin and the
2 CONT Carlisles. At that time these denizens were neither rich or very poor,
2 CONT but self-reliant, self-sustaining and mutually helpful in many ways.
2 CONT Then and in many sequent years it was customary in the country to have
2 CONT log-rollings, house-raisings and wheat-reapings in which the neighbors
2 CONT joined forces either personally or by colored proxy. In the dark hours
2 CONT of sickness, death, or misfortune of any kind the sympathetic hearts
2 CONT and hands of the neighborhood were promptly united to assist and
2 CONT relieve the distressed. This was especially the era of the best men
2 CONT and women of Georgia and from such have sprung those who have done
2 CONT most in the private and public walks of life to conserve true nobility
2 CONT of character, moral and christian civilization. John Culpepper removed
2 CONT in early life from Virginia [according to the 1850 census record, he
2 CONT was born in South Carolina and all indications are that his extended
2 CONT family had recently moved to South Carolina when John Culpepper was
2 CONT born] to South Carolina thence emigrating to Monroe county, Georgia
2 CONT from where he came to Meriwether locating on what is now known as the
2 CONT Willis Jarrell place near town. After residing here some years he
2 CONT disposed of his farm reinvesting in a choice plantation in Randolph
2 CONT county, Ala. Then he spent the remainder of his long life contentedly
2 CONT as he harvested luxuriant crops from the alluvial lands bordering on
2 CONT the Chattahoochee [read Tallapoosa River?]. He belonged to the honest
2 CONT primitive class of citizenry who scorned deceit, lying and trickery,
2 CONT esteeming true character and a good name above filthy lucre and
2 CONT corrupted honors. Though not a churchman, the old patriot was a firm
2 CONT believer in the christian religion as was attested by his conduct in
2 CONT the practice of its precepts. He was the father of eight sons and two
2 CONT daughters, all of whom located in various parts of this state and
2 CONT Alabama. All were substantial highly respected citizens, reflecting
2 CONT honor on their special callings and the name of their revered
2 CONT ancestor. This is a remarkable family for longevity. All attained very
2 CONT old age some of them having lived more than a century.
2 CONT
2 CONT John William Culpepper also obtained a copy of deed G-458-459 dated 28
2 CONT Jan 1842 in which George Washington and William Henry Culpepper sold
2 CONT the west half of land lot "#226" [should be 256] which they had
2 CONT purchased in 1838 in the 8th District containing 100 acres, to John
2 CONT Culpepper for $400.00. In a 25 Apr 1995 letter, John William Culpepper
2 CONT wrote:
2 CONT
2 CONT The Mead Board Company currently owns [lot] 226 [256?] and part of
2 CONT [lot] 225 [255?]. We talked to Bill Gibbs at the Meriwether office and
2 CONT he could not provide any information regarding burial sites on the
2 CONT property, but suggested contacting Tom Brannon at their Yatesville
2 CONT Office in Upson County, which we did. Mr. Brannon pulled out the plat
2 CONT maps and we looked at them without noting any burial sites on the
2 CONT property....
2 CONT
2 CONT Land Lots 225 & 226 [255? & 256?], 8th District are located
2 CONT approximately 2 to 3 miles northwest of Greenville, about one mile
2 CONT east off of Georgia Route 100 on the Jarrell road. 255 cuts across
2 CONT Jarrell Road.
2 CONT
2 CONT Eleanor [Willingham] and I located a cemetery nearby lot 255 and just
2 CONT off of the Jarrell Road and it had a number of Peavy graves but no
2 CONT Nancy Culpepper.
2 CONT
2 CONT It is not clear at what point, John Culpepper moved on to Randolph
2 CONT Co., AL. According to Meriwether Co., GA Deed I-392 obtained by John
2 CONT William Culpepper, John Culpepper and William H. Culpepper sold for
2 CONT $1,000 to Jacob Moon the Meriwether Co., GA District 8 lot 256
2 CONT containing 202 1/2 acres which George Washington and William H.
2 CONT Culpepper purchased in 1838 half of which John Culpepper purchased
2 CONT from George Washington and William H. Culpepper in 1842. John and
2 CONT William H. Culpepper also sold as part of the package the 50 acres off
2 CONT of the north side of lot 255 which John Culpepper had bought in 1838.
2 CONT
2 CONT The question that this raises is whether or not John Culpepper moved
2 CONT to Randolph Co., AL before or after Nancy's death. According to Mrs.
2 CONT J. (Clara Haralson) Moorcroft, writing about her grandparents in "THE
2 CONT WILLIAM CULPEPPER AND SALLY LESLIE FAMILY," Clara's mother, Sarah Jane
2 CONT Culpepper, was six years old when the William Henry Culpepper family
2 CONT moved with the widowed John Culpepper from Meriwether Co., GA to
2 CONT Randolph Co., GA. Sarah Jane Culpepper would have been six years old
2 CONT in 1850 and in fact both William Henry and the widowed, John Culpepper
2 CONT were listed in the 1850 Randolph Co., AL census. However, "William H.
2 CONT Culpepper" is noted in Randolph Co., AL land records in 1848. He
2 CONT bought or was granted 39 acres and 24 rods of land (Certificate or
2 CONT Warrant 10628) in the southwest part of the northeast division of
2 CONT Section 10 in Township 22 South, Range 10 East of Randolph Co., AL.
2 CONT The land appears to be to the west of Wadley about half way between
2 CONT the town and Pleasant Hill Church. All records on William Henry's
2 CONT youngest daughter, Caroline F., show that she was born in January 1849
2 CONT in Alabama. This would seem to verify that the family was already in
2 CONT Alabama by 1849. If John Culpepper was a widower, then it appears that
2 CONT the William Henry Culpepper family moved to Randolph Co., AL with
2 CONT William Henry's father around the time that William Henry Culpepper
2 CONT purchased land there in Aug 1848 and after the July 1848 death of
2 CONT Nancy (Gillespie) Culpepper. A 78 year old John Culpepper was listed
2 CONT (p. 386, family 189) on the 1850 census in Randolph County, AL living
2 CONT nearby his son, William Henry (p. 386, family 183). John listed his
2 CONT birthplace as South Carolina and he owned $5,500 worth of real estate.
2 CONT An 8 year old grandson, Lewis W. Culpepper, a son of William Henry
2 CONT Culpepper, was also listed as living with his grandfather.
2 CONT Unfortunately no record has been found of the land that John Culpepper
2 CONT bought in Randolph Co., AL but based on census records it must have
2 CONT been very close to William Henry's land and probably at least four
2 CONT times as large based on the amount of real estate he was supposed to
2 CONT have owned. Section 11 which covers the western portion of Wadley was
2 CONT already accounted for by early settlers (1835 - 1837) with the
2 CONT exception of one 40 acre portion that William Henry Culpepper
2 CONT purchased in 1855 (poor ink makes the entry almost impossible to
2 CONT read). Section 10 where William Henry had his land seems to be
2 CONT similarly accounted for by people who settled in the late 1830's and
2 CONT 1840's with the exception of another piece of land that William Henry
2 CONT purchased in 1855 which was a parcel immediately north of his own
2 CONT land. The records of Section 3 which was immediately north of Section
2 CONT 11 are in many cases impossible to read because of the poor ink. The
2 CONT entry for John J. Culpepper's land is still legible. It is about the
2 CONT right size to account for the amount of property that John Culpepper
2 CONT owned in 1850 and it is near enough to William Henry to account for
2 CONT the proximity of the census records. Is it possible that John
2 CONT Culpepper actually owned the land that John J. Culpepper was noted
2 CONT with in the 1850 land record?
2 CONT
2 CONT But according to the letter which follows, John Culpepper had broken
2 CONT up housekeeping by 1853. The question is then where was he living when
2 CONT he died. One possibility is with William Henry. The other possibility
2 CONT is with his daughter, Sarah (Culpepper) Elliott. The Wadley City
2 CONT Cemetery, which is in this grid area, was originally named the Elliott
2 CONT Cemetery and was presumably on land owned by Sarah (Culpepper)
2 CONT Elliott, John Culpepper's daughter. She is believed to have been in
2 CONT the area before 1855 since one of her sons married in Randolph Co., AL
2 CONT in 1855. Sarah was also recorded in the Almond P. O. district in the
2 CONT 1870 census but was not living close to her brothers. In the 1880
2 CONT census, she was recorded in the Louina P. O. district whereas William
2 CONT Henry was in the Flatrock district. This suggests that she was
2 CONT probably living in the Wadley area. In the 1853 letter which follows,
2 CONT John Culpepper writes of trying to get some of his children to come to
2 CONT Randolph Co., AL. It is possible that Sarah came shortly after this
2 CONT and settled on land that John Culpepper had purchased and that the
2 CONT Wadley City Cemetery land and the land to the south of Wadley where
2 CONT John Jefferson Culpepper descendants were found was at one time owned
2 CONT by John Culpepper.
2 CONT
2 CONT In 1853, John Culpepper wrote a letter to his son Francis G. in Lavaca
2 CONT County, Texas, which has been preserved all of these years by that
2 CONT branch of the family. He mentions various relatives but unfortunately
2 CONT does not tell us anything of his own ancestry. John died in Randolph
2 CONT County, AL, May 13, 1855.
2 CONT
2 CONT The following is the letter that John Culpepper, living near Louina,
2 CONT Randolph County, AL wrote to Francis G. Culpepper who had been in

2 CONT "Washington's oldest daughter" mentioned in the letter was Nancy
2 CONT Louisan, daughter of George Washington Culpepper, of Meriwether Co.
2 CONT GA, who died June 16, 1853, at 11:25 A.M., according to the G.W.C.
2 CONT Bible record.
2 CONT
2 CONT "I thought Daniel gone" refers to Daniel Fey Culpepper, the son of
2 CONT Francis Gillespie Culpepper. He did not leave Lavaca Co. TX until
2 CONT around 1900, and died shortly thereafter in Devine, TX.
2 CONT "Lewis is in Pike Zebulon, by promise him & wife will be Here July"
2 CONT refers to Lewis Peek Culpepper, the youngest son of John W., who lived
2 CONT in Zebulon, GA until 1859, when he moved to Randolph Co. AL. In a
2 CONT letter written in the early 1900's to Rev. George B. Culpepper, a son
2 CONT of Lewis, Joseph Richard Culpepper, mentions going with his father to
2 CONT visit John Culpepper when Joseph was 12 years old, i. e., in 1853.
2 CONT John Culpepper was not listed as a slave-owner in the 1850 slave
2 CONT schedule of Randolph County, Alabama so it is not clear when or where
2 CONT he got the slaves that he intended to trade "for land."
2 CONT "This letter comes from Sweet Home" refers to the name that Francis
2 CONT Gillespie Culpepper gave to the land when he arrived in Lavaca County,
2 CONT TX, in the spring of 1851. According to his granddaughter, Jessie
2 CONT Burke Heard, "he stopped the wagons and told the people that this was
2 CONT the place he wanted to make his home, so he then and there named the
2 CONT place Sweet Home."
2 CONT "Joel's widow and family (John in Morgan) are at Harelson Viledge"
2 CONT refers to Nancy (Corley) Culepper, widow of John's oldest son, Joel,
2 CONT who was in Coweta County, GA in 1850, as were her children, Charles
2 CONT W., Sara A. B., James Benjamin, and Elijah Milton. "John in Morgan"
2 CONT refers to Nancy's oldest son, John L., who was in Morgan Co. GA, and
2 CONT was later killed in the Civil War, at Winchester, VA, on Feb 24, 1862.
2 CONT
2 CONT "Daniels d[itt]o Dead" is a problem. If it was a reference to his son,
2 CONT Daniel P. Culpepper, as a mental note before going to talk about
2 CONT Daniel's children, James and Caroline, then it is odd since Daniel
2 CONT would have been dead for over 25 years and Francis Culpepper would
2 CONT have known that. If it referred to the fourth son of Joel and Nancy,
2 CONT then it is odd that the death was not noted in the Family Bible of his
2 CONT sister, Mrs. I. W. (Sarah A. B. Culpepper) Sims who did note the death
2 CONT of her brother John in 1862. The abbreviated ditto symbol "do" is
2 CONT under the word Widow of the line above. Possibly the line should be
2 CONT read "Daniels [Widow] Dead" since Daniel's widow, Mary (Corley)
2 CONT Culpepper had died in 1851 the year when Francis G. Culpepper left for
2 CONT Texas and he might not have heard the news.
2 CONT "James and Caroline Talbot yet, John gone West" refers to James Marion
2 CONT Culpepper and Nancy Caroline Culpepper Cooper who were children of
2 CONT John's son, Daniel Peek Culpepper, who had died in 1825. James and
2 CONT Nancy Caroline were in Talbot Co., GA in 1850. Daniel Peek Culpepper's
2 CONT youngest son was John Francis Culpepper who died in Johnson Co. TX in
2 CONT 1916.
2 CONT "John Slappey is living with your Aunt Betsey." This reference is to
2 CONT Betsey (Gillespie) Slappey who was the sister of Nancy Gillespie
2 CONT Culpepper, the wife of John Culpepper. John Slappey was apparently her
2 CONT son. The Slappeys have not been located in 1850 census records.
2 CONT
2 CONT The graves of John and Nancy (Gillespie) Culpepper have not been found
2 CONT although there are memorial stones for them in the cemetery of the
2 CONT Allen-Lee Memorial United Methodist Church in Lone Oak, GA. If, as
2 CONT appears to be the case, Nancy died before John Culpepper moved on to
2 CONT Alabama, then she probably is buried somewhere near Greenville, GA.
2 CONT Mrs. Eleanor (Culpepper) Willingham, in a 28 Sep 1987 letter, wrote of
2 CONT trying to locate the graves of John and Nancy Gillespie Culpepper. In
2 CONT Wadley, AL she located a "Mr. Smith" who was "over 80" and who had
2 CONT married a Culpepper descendant who thought that John Culpepper had
2 CONT lived in the neighborhood. He also spoke of a cemetery "down on the
2 CONT [Tallapoosa] river-which would be almost inaccessible." Mr. Smith had
2 CONT not heard that John and Nancy were buried there but said "it could be
2 CONT a possibility." Mr. Charles Lee Culpepper, Sr. wrote 4 Jul 1978: My

1 NOTE Elizabeth Peek was probably born circa 1755, location unknown. Nothing
2 CONT is known of her early life or whereabouts.
2 CONT
2 CONT  Around 1775, she married Francis Gillespie of Cheraws District,
2 CONT SC. One would assume either that the Peek and Gillespie families lived
2 CONT near one another, or that Francis met his bride while traveling on
2 CONT business, or visiting relatives. Since he was a member of the
2 CONT Committees of Correspondence prior to the Revolution, it is
2 CONT conceivable that he might have visited Boston, and met his bride
2 CONT there. But it seems more likely that she was related to other Peeks in
2 CONT the general area, who seem to have come from Virginia.
2 CONT
2 CONT She and her daughters, and their husbands, are found in records with
2 CONT Daniel Peek, who appears to have been Elizabeth's brother. Daniel Peek
2 CONT died in Richland District, SC, in 1807, and Elizabeth's sons-in-law,
2 CONT John Culpepper and John Slappey, were administrators of his estate. In
2 CONT 1790, he was noted in Lancaster County SC deed records with Robert
2 CONT Down and William Tate, witnessing a deed of gift of four lots in the
2 CONT town of Camden from John Chesnut of Camden to Chesnut's daughter, Mary
2 CONT McRae ,the wife of Duncan McRae. John Chesnut was one of the leading
2 CONT merchants in Kershaw Co. SC.
2 CONT
2 CONT Daniel Peek apparently lived in or near Camden in Kershaw Co., SC
2 CONT since he was mentioned several times in the Minutes of the Kershaw
2 CONT County Court. On March 5, 1792 Daniel was appointed as overseer of a
2 CONT road which ran south/southwest out of Camden across Town Creek. An
2 CONT 1825 map of the county from the Mills' Atlas of the State of South
2 CONT Carolina shows that Chestnut's and McRae's were still living along the
2 CONT river near this road. In August of 1794 Daniel Peek served on a Grand
2 CONT Jury, indicating that he was someone of means in the county, since
2 CONT Grand Jurors were selected from those who paid the highest taxes.
2 CONT
2 CONT Based on the Minutes of the Kershaw County Court, Daniel continued to
2 CONT serve as an overseer of roads at least until 1797. Sometime after 1800
2 CONT he moved to Richland District SC, where his estate was probated in
2 CONT 1807. Daniel Peek's personal estate included 15 slaves, nine horses,
2 CONT 34 head of cattle and nearly 50 hogs. He had various farm implements
2 CONT and household items, plus a canoe and a safe. John Culpepper and John
2 CONT Slappey, the husbands of Elizabeth (Peek) Gillespie's daughters, Nancy
2 CONT and Betsey, were named administrators of the estate which required a
2 CONT $20,000 administration bond. Buyers at the estate included John
2 CONT Culpepper, who bought a shotgun and a pickle tub, John Slappey, who
2 CONT bought a horse and horseman's sword, and Elizabeth (Peek) Gillespie,
2 CONT who bought horses and farm implements. Elizabeth had moved to Richland
2 CONT District from Cheraws District after her husband Francis' death.
2 CONT Daniel O'Guin, Thomas Watts, and William Gupphill, the three
2 CONT appraisers of the estate, were also buyers. Although it is tempting to
2 CONT think that Daniel was Mrs. Francis (Elizabeth Peek) Gillespie's
2 CONT father, the fact that he was active at least until the late 1790's
2 CONT suggests a younger man. Elizabeth's father would probably have been in
2 CONT his late 70's or mid-80's by that time. Daniel was probably
2 CONT Elizabeth's brother. A Lewis Peak was noted as a witness of the will
2 CONT of Enoch Linerieux of Craven Co., SC who died April 24, 1778. His
2 CONT relation to Daniel and Elizabeth is not known but he is noted since
2 CONT John and Nancy (Gillespie) Culpepper named one of their sons Lewis
2 CONT Peek Culpepper.
2 CONT
2 CONT Elizabeth and Daniel may have been related to Abel Peek, born 1765 in
2 CONT Virginia. Among Abel's children were Louis Peek, Elizabeth Peek, and
2 CONT Daniel Peek. Abel moved to Franklin County, GA, but may have been in
2 CONT SC in the 1790's.
2 CONT
2 CONT Nancy (Gillespie) Culpepper's mother, "Elizabeth Gillespie of the
2 CONT District of Richland" was also noted in a Marlborough District deed in
2 CONT 1806 selling 133+ acres of land to William Wright who had apparently
2 CONT been renting the land since the deed notes that he was purchasing land
2 CONT where he "now lives." The land was on the northeast side of the Pee
2 CONT Dee River and was bounded on the southeast by John Wilson's land and
2 CONT on all other sides by James Gillespie's land. Elizabeth (Peek)
2 CONT Gillespie died in Richland District sometime after the February 1808
2 CONT estate sale, but no record of her death has been found.      Francis
2 CONT and Elizabeth (Peek) Gillespie's daughter, Nancy, was apparently able
2 CONT to read and write. No doubt both Nancy and her sister, "Betsey," had
2 CONT attended the school funded by the St. David's Society which their
2 CONT father had supported.

1 NOTE Joseph R. Culpepper wrote to his cousin, Rev. George B. Culpepper,
2 CONT circa 1910-1915: I wrote to Father [Lewis Peek Culpepper] asking him
2 CONT to give me all the information he could relative to his father,
2 CONT grandfather, etc. He knows nothing farther back than his grandfather
2 CONT who was John.... He says there were three brothers, John, Ben and
2 CONT Joseph. John was my great grandfather as was Joseph, also, on my
2 CONT mother's side.... John William was my father's father and your
2 CONT father's grandfather.... What I have stated is absolutely correct as
2 CONT far back as my two great grandfathers."
2 CONT
2 CONT Since it seems possible that the designation of the younger John
2 CONT Culpepper as "John William Culpepper" might have come from a family
2 CONT history whose facts have not been substantiated. John Culpepper, the
2 CONT subject of this book will be designated as John Culpepper [1772-1855].
2 CONT Although there are records of Joseph and Ben Culpepper in South

2 CONT Culpepper. Lee R. Gandee, a Lexington, SC genealogist, in a 23 May
2 CONT 1974 letter to Billy W. Dunn, a Culpepper descendant, wrote that the
2 CONT Lexington Culpepers were "an early and now extinct family here. Little
2 CONT is known, as our records were almost all lost in the Civil War, both
2 CONT here and in the parent District, Orangeburg, when Yankees burned the
2 CONT courthouses.... No church records remain, either...."
2 CONT
2 CONT Joseph Culpepper, a presumed brother of the elder John Culpepper, was
2 CONT living on Thom's Creek in what is now Richland County, SC at least as
2 CONT early as 1767. Sometime prior to 1785 Joseph moved across the Congaree
2 CONT River to the eastern part of Orangeburg District, SC, where he owned
2 CONT land on Sandy Run Creek and south of the creek on Bull Swamp, which
2 CONT flows into the Edisto River. The area became Lexington District, SC in
2 CONT 1804 and is near the present town of Sandy Run in Calhoun County.
2 CONT Revolutionary War records place Benjamin Culpepper, the other presumed
2 CONT brother of the elder John Culpepper, in South Carolina at least by
2 CONT 1778.
2 CONT
2 CONT In the 1850 census of Randolph Co., AL (p. 386, family 189) John
2 CONT Culpepper [1772-1855], the presumed son of the elder John Culpepper,
2 CONT listed his own place of birth as South Carolina. This would place the
2 CONT elder John Culpepper and his wife in South Carolina by 1772. In the
2 CONT 1880 census, which was the first to ask about the place of birth of
2 CONT the parents of the person listed, two of the oldest living children of
2 CONT John Culpepper [1772-1855], John Jefferson Culpepper and Sarah O.
2 CONT Culpepper Elliott, also listed John's place of birth as South Carolina
2 CONT but a middle son, Francis G. Culpepper, listed his father's place of
2 CONT birth as North Carolina as if he might have remembered hearing of a
2 CONT family connection to North Carolina. Joseph R. Culpepper in his letter
2 CONT to the Rev. George B. Culpepper noted that John Culpepper [1772-1855]
2 CONT came to South Carolina from Virginia. Again, this was probably a
2 CONT reference to information from a Culpepper family history which was in
2 CONT circulation at the time that he wrote the letter, indicating that the
2 CONT family came from Culpeper Co., VA. But no records of Culpeppers have
2 CONT been found in Culpeper Co., VA except for Lord Culpeper whose heir was
2 CONT a daughter who married Lord Fairfax.
2 CONT
2 CONT Since no records of the elder John Culpepper have been found in South
2 CONT Carolina, there can only be speculation about him based on
2 CONT circumstantial evidence. Both Joseph and Benjamin, the elder John's
2 CONT presumed brothers, were on the 1790 census in Orangeburg District, SC.
2 CONT John Culpepper [1772-1855], the elder John Culpepper's presumed son,
2 CONT and Joseph, the elder John Culpepper's presumed brother, are listed
2 CONT with their families living near each other (p. 560 & p. 561) in the
2 CONT 1800 census of Lexington, SC. This suggests that Joseph was indeed
2 CONT related to Ben and John [1772-1855]. Since the elder John Culpepper
2 CONT does not show up in the 1790 census of South Carolina, there is a
2 CONT possibility is that he died between 1772, the year John Culpepper
2 CONT [1772-1855] was born, and the 1790 census. Since no mention has been
2 CONT found of brothers and sisters for John Culpepper [1772-1855], it is
2 CONT possible that his parents, or at least his father, died young and
2 CONT since John Culpepper [1772-1855] emerges in the 1800 census as a
2 CONT neighbor of Joseph, it is possible that John [1772-1855] was raised by
2 CONT his presumed uncle, Joseph Culpepper. In the 1790 census, Joseph had
2 CONT three males over age 16 in his household. Joseph is only known to have
2 CONT had one son, Joseph Richard Culpepper, who is believed to have been
2 CONT born circa 1794. A letter in Joseph's Revolutionary War Pension file
2 CONT (#R 2565) states that Joseph's son, Joseph R. Culpepper, was "the only
2 CONT legatee" of Joseph Culpepper. This leaves the possibility that John
2 CONT Culpepper [1772-1855] was one of the three males listed in the Joseph
2 CONT Culpepper household in 1790 as over 16. John Culpepper [1772-1855]
2 CONT would have been 18. Also in 1807, Joseph Culpepper secured a bond for
2 CONT John Culpepper [1772-1855] when John was named administrator of the
2 CONT estate of Daniel Peek. This suggests close family ties between the
2 CONT two.

1 NOTE In a biographical sketch of Francis Gillespie Culpepper which appeared
2 CONT in the Lavaca Co., TX Shiner Gazette on 2 Feb 1898, it was stated that
2 CONT the grandmother of Francis G. Culpepper and therefore the mother of
2 CONT John Culpepper [1772-1855] and the wife of the elder John Culpepper
2 CONT "was a sister to General Oglethorpe." Lewis Peek Culpepper, another
2 CONT grandson, read this article and in a 19 Mar 1898 letter to B. F.
2 CONT Burke, wrote that with the exception of the year of birth of his
2 CONT brother, "it was a tolerable correct historical account." Nothing has
2 CONT been found to support the Oglethorpe connection except that John
2 CONT Culpepper [1772-1855] had a daughter, Sarah O., and two grandsons with
2 CONT a middle name of Oglethorpe. William L. Carlisle wrote 29 Aug 1978: In
2 CONT all our research we have been unable to find any clue which might lead
2 CONT us to the conclusion that any member of his family, except himself
2 CONT [General James Edward Oglethorpe], ever came to America. Within six
2 CONT months of his death, two nephews in France, most likely a son of
2 CONT Eleanor [a sister] and a son of Fanny [a sister], indicated their
2 CONT intention to file a claim for any property he may still have had in
2 CONT Georgia. It occurs to us, as it must surely to you, that if any
2 CONT relatives were known to be living in the Colony, particularly a
2 CONT sister, the nephews would not have presumed to assume the role of
2 CONT "heirs." There is no record of the French kin coming to America at the
2 CONT time....
2 CONT
2 CONT In the 29 Aug 1978 letter, William L. Carlisle included the following
2 CONT from James Edward Oglethorpe - Imperial Idealist by Amos Aschbach
2 CONT Ettinger which was published at Oxford by the Clarendon Press in 1936:
2 CONT Theophilus Oglethorpe of West Riding, Yorkshire, and Eleanor (Ellen)
2 CONT Wall were married in 1680. To this union nine children were born as
2 CONT follows: Lewis b Feb. 1681 d 8 Sept. 8, 1704 The Hague Theophilus, Jr.
2 CONT b 1682 d 1737 In France Anne Henrietta b 1683 d Sept. 5, 1756 at her
2 CONT home, Strand-on-the-Green, England. She was created Countess of
2 CONT Oglethorpe in 1722 and afterward made her home with her brother James
2 CONT for a period. We find no record of her ever having married. Eleanor b
2 CONT 1684 We do not know the date of her death. In 1707 she was married to
2 CONT Eugene-Marie de Bethisy, Marquis de Mezieres. She probably died in
2 CONT France. James b June 1, 1689 bur June 15, 1690 Louisa Mary (Molly) and
2 CONT Sutton (twins) b Sept. 1693. Sutton lived seven weeks. In 1733 Molly
2 CONT married Marquis de Bensonpiere. The Marquis died within a year and the
2 CONT Marquise closed her career in a minor post in the court of Spain. We
2 CONT did not find the date of her death. Frances Charlotte (Fanny) b Feb.
2 CONT 1696. In December 1719 she married Jean Francois de Bellegarde,
2 CONT Marquis de Marches of Peidmont. She must have also died in France on
2 CONT an unknown date. James Edward b Dec. 22, 1696 d 1785 in England. The
2 CONT founder of the Colony of Georgia. He came to America first in January
2 CONT 1734 and stayed until late in the year 1743. He made two prolonged
2 CONT trips back to England in the interim in connection with the
2 CONT administration and military affairs of the Colony but when he sailed
2 CONT from Charles Town for London in 1743, he never saw his beloved Georgia
2 CONT again. On Sept. 15, 1744, in King Henry VII Chapel in Westminster
2 CONT Abbey, he was married to Elizabeth Wright the only daughter of Sir
2 CONT Nathan Wright, Baronet. There were no children.
2 CONT
2 CONT The problem with the idea that the elder John Culpepper married one of
2 CONT the descendents of General Oglethorpe is that the sisters are a
2 CONT generation too early for such a marriage and the husbands of General
2 CONT Oglethorpe's sisters are known. An Oglethorpe researcher, Kenneth H.
2 CONT Thomas, Jr., wrote (16 Jun 1985) that neither General Oglethorpe "nor
2 CONT his brothers, left any children at all, male or female. There are many
2 CONT descendants of his sisters, though, but all remained in Europe (at
2 CONT least during the 1700s) and married noble Catholic families."
2 CONT
2 CONT Perhaps the wife of the elder John Culpepper was an Oglethorpe or a
2 CONT descendant of an Oglethorpe, but not a sister of the General. The
2 CONT Oglethorpe name is rare in the United States, it was not represented
2 CONT at all in the 1790 census of the United States. However, there were
2 CONT Oglethorpes living in Camden District, SC in the 1760's and 1770's.
2 CONT Hannah, Thomas, and John Newman Oglethorpe all witnessed a deed for
2 CONT land on the south side of the Wateree River in 1765 (SC Deeds Book
2 CONT E-3, p. 192). John Newman Oglethorpe is mentioned in Robert W.
2 CONT Ramsey's Carolina Cradle as being a resident of Camden, SC, during
2 CONT 1765-1768.
2 CONT
2 CONT  For search purposes, the name Sarah Oglethorpe has been tentatively
2 CONT suggested as the name of the wife of the elder John Culpepper since
2 CONT John and Nancy (Gillespie) Culpepper named other children for presumed
2 CONT relatives, e.g., Francis Gillespie Culpepper and Daniel Peek
2 CONT Culpepper, and so possibly their daughter, Sarah O. Culpepper, was
2 CONT named for her grandmother.

2 CONT       John Newman Oglethorpe was a Presbyterian, which displeased the
2 CONT itinerant Anglican minister, Charles Woodmason. On Sunday, August 7,

1 NOTE Benjamin Culpepper Jr.'s life history has not yet been accurately or
2 CONT fully pieced together. This Benjamin might just as easily have been
2 CONT the son of Benjamin Culpepper, Sr., Joseph's brother. For the moment,
2 CONT based partly on naming conventions used by the two younger Bens, this
2 CONT one is assumed to have been the son of Joseph, and the following
2 CONT discussion is based on this assumption. See also the discussion of the
2 CONT Fishing Creek deeds in the Theories Section of this web site, for
2 CONT further details. Our current thoughts on him follow, but these could
2 CONT easily change as new information comes to light.
2 CONT
2 CONT It would appear that Benjamin was born either in Norfolk County, VA,
2 CONT or in early Bertie Precinct, NC, in the early 1720's. He moved with
2 CONT his family to Edgecombe County, NC, in the late 1730's. He married his
2 CONT wife, Lydia, there, in the early 1740's.
2 CONT
2 CONT When his father Joseph died intestate in 1745, he inherited one, and
2 CONT possibly two tracts of land as Joseph's eldest son, by right of
2 CONT primogeniture. He may have lived on one tract, on Swift / Sandy Creek.
2 CONT And his mother Martha lived on the other Fishing Creek tract until she
2 CONT remarried around 1751, to Benjamin Dumas, and moved with Dumas to
2 CONT Anson County, NC.
2 CONT
2 CONT After his mother's re-marriage, Benjamin then sold the Fishing Creek
2 CONT tract to his first cousin, Benjamin Culpepper (ferryman), in 1752. And
2 CONT by 1754, he had decided to move on, and so sold the tract on which he
2 CONT then lived on Sandy Creek to Thomas Davis.
2 CONT
2 CONT Here the record on Benjamin Jr. becomes murky for about 13 years,
2 CONT until 1767, when his eldest son Joseph Culpepper first appears in
2 CONT records in South Carolina. So it seems likely that Benjamin moved to
2 CONT South Carolina around 1754, probably with one or more of his wife's
2 CONT relatives. Where he settled has not been discovered. And he must have
2 CONT died there prior to 1771, when his widow Lydia received a grant as
2 CONT "the widow Culpepper."
2 CONT
2 CONT That this Benjamin was the son of Joseph is based on the
2 CONT interpretation of two deeds involving Joseph's Fishing Creek property.
2 CONT In 1741, Joseph sold one-half of his Fishing Creek property to
2 CONT Benjamin Culpepper. This was probably Benjamin his brother. Joseph
2 CONT also had a son named Benjamin, but analysis shows that he did not sell
2 CONT the land to his own son. By 1746 both brothers were deceased, and
2 CONT their two sons, both named Benjamin, were each in possession of one
2 CONT half of Joseph's original 320 farm on Fishing Creek.
2 CONT
2 CONT Although it is impossible to tell, due to the poor wording of the 1741
2 CONT deed, the current analysis presumes that Joseph's son Ben inherited
2 CONT the WEST half of the property by right of primogeniture, and
2 CONT Benjamin's son Ben owned the EAST half by right of primogeniture. In
2 CONT 1752, Benjamin (son of Joseph) sold the WEST half to his older cousin,
2 CONT Benjamin, ferryman, son of Benjamin. See the footnote for a detailed
2 CONT look at these land transactions.
2 CONT
2 CONT
2 CONT Since after 1746, there were only two Benjamin Culpeppers in early
2 CONT Edgecombe, it would be useful if we could distinguish them, by the way
2 CONT they signed deeds. Unfortunately, this is not the case. The surviving
2 CONT deed books in early Edgecombe are later copies of the original deeds,
2 CONT so the original marks from the original deeds have not survived. In
2 CONT all cases in which a Benjamin sold land or witnessed a deed, the "B"
2 CONT mark was apparently used, and except for Benjamin's will in 1767, the
2 CONT original mark itself has not survived.
2 CONT
2 CONT
2 CONT By 1752, and perhaps as early as 1743 Benjamin Culpepper (son of
2 CONT Joseph) was living on a 300 acre farm on Sandy Creek, in Granville
2 CONT Co., NC. This was about nine or ten miles northeast of his first
2 CONT cousin Benjamin's land on Peach Tree Creek, considerably closer to his
2 CONT cousin Benjamin, and to Peach Tree Creek, than was his old Fishing
2 CONT Creek land. This writer speculates that this may have been the same
2 CONT 300 acres on Swift Creek, which Benjamin's father Joseph may been
2 CONT granted as early as 1743. Land Grants, Vol. 1, page 59, NC Archives,
2 CONT Raleigh, 27 February 1743, Joseph Culpepper enters 300 acres in
2 CONT Edgecombe County, on the north side of Swift Creek....and RUNS ACROSS
2 CONT THE CREEK; includes his improvements; made out; paid: rights returned.
2 CONT The entry has survived, but not the actual grant.
2 CONT
2 CONT In 1754, Benjamin Culpepper Jr., sold the 300 acres on Sandy Creek in
2 CONT Granville Co., NC "where I now live" to Thomas Davis. (Granville Co.
2 CONT Deed Bk. B, p. 391-2) Witnesses were Lewis Davis, Moses Harris, and
2 CONT Samuel Chaivis. Benjamin signed this deed with a 'C.' This land was
2 CONT described as "beginning on the north side of the said [Sandy] Creek at
2 CONT a Road Oak running thence along a line to a corner tree a Road Oak
2 CONT thence along a line CROSSING THE CREEK to a White Oak a corner tree of
2 CONT the south side of said creek thence along a line to a corner tree a
2 CONT White Oak thence along a line CROSSING THE CREEK to the first station
2 CONT it being the plantation whereon I now live."
2 CONT
2 CONT That Benjamin's 300 acres on Sandy Creek was the same land as Joseph's
2 CONT 1743 land entry on Swift Creek is speculation. But note that Sandy
2 CONT Creek becomes Swift Creek at Hilliardston community in present day
2 CONT Nash County (according to "The North Carolina Gazeteer" by Wm. S.
2 CONT Powell). And this could have been about the point where this land was
2 CONT situated. And this was also near the boundary between what was then
2 CONT Edgecombe and Granville Counties. So the land entry might have
2 CONT mentioned Edgecombe, and the later sale, Granville, as the location.
2 CONT Also, note that both the land entry, and the later sale, mention that
2 CONT the land was on both sides of the creek. So this unusual feature of
2 CONT the property is found in both documents. Further, assuming the land
2 CONT entry became a grant to Joseph, there is no further mention of the
2 CONT sale of the land by his estate. Likewise, there is no other mention of
2 CONT Benjamin buying his Sandy Creek land. So by assuming that these two
2 CONT records refer to the same property, one has a complete history of its
2 CONT purchase and later sale. And if this is correct, then it strengthens
2 CONT the idea that this Benjamin was the son of Joseph, as he would have
2 CONT inherited this land from Joseph by right of primogeniture, just as he
2 CONT apparently inherited the west half of the Fishing Creek property.
2 CONT
2 CONT An anomaly, which remains to be explained, is that this Benjamin
2 CONT apparently signed his sale of land in Edgecombe with a 'B' and yet
2 CONT signed this sale of land in Granville with a 'C'. Was the 'B' in the
2 CONT Edgecombe sale an error by the copyist? Since the surviving deeds in
2 CONT Edgecombe are copies, not originals, it would be hard to speculate.
2 CONT
2 CONT There is no further record of this Benjamin. He seems to have moved in
2 CONT the direction of, if not to, Richland or Camden District, SC, where
2 CONT records have been lost. No surviving records on Benjamin in South
2 CONT Carolina have been found.
2 CONT
2 CONT Research on his wife and her family might eventually provide
2 CONT additional clues. Since Benjamin did not follow the migration path of
2 CONT his siblings, chances are, he was migrating with his wife's family,
2 CONT and not with his own. Perhaps she was related to the John Griffin, who
2 CONT was an adjacent land owner to Joseph Culpepper in early Northampton
2 CONT County, and who may have been the same John Griffin who lived next to
2 CONT Benjamin's widow Lydia in early South Carolina.

1 NOTE Lydia has been suggested as the mother of Joseph, John and Benjamin
2 CONT Culpepper of South Carolina since she appears to have been a widowed
2 CONT woman who owned land near Joseph in South Carolina. 22 Aug 1771, Lydia
2 CONT or "Liddy Cullpeper" received a royal land grant (Royal Grants Vol.
2 CONT 24, p. 199) "on the Fork of Wateree and Congaree River on a Branch
2 CONT Called Griffins Creek. Bounding North Westwardly part on John Griffin
2 CONT and part Vacant land - Southeastward on lands unknown and all other
2 CONT Sides on Vacant land." See http://gen.culpepper.com/theories/Eastover.
2 CONT PDF for a plat of her land and surrounding landowners.
2 CONT
2 CONT Since Lydia was granted land in her own name, this suggests that she
2 CONT was a widow at the time the land was granted. Since her presumed son,
2 CONT Joseph, held land in his own right and her other presumed sons, John
2 CONT and Benjamin, have not been identified in pre-Revolutionary land
2 CONT records, it is possible that they were living together on Lydia's land
2 CONT as an extended family.
2 CONT
2 CONT Lydia's maiden name and place of birth are unknown, however, based on
2 CONT a study of extant records of Culpepper's in South Carolina, North
2 CONT Carolina and Virginia, and known migration patterns of other families
2 CONT in South Carolina about this time, Lydia was probably born and married
2 CONT in North Carolina. The names John, Joseph, and Benjamin Culpepper were
2 CONT used in several Culpepper families that appear to trace back to Robert
2 CONT Culpepper of Norfolk Co., VA. While some members of the line remained
2 CONT in Norfolk Co., VA, other members of the line appear to have moved
2 CONT across the North Carolina border to Northampton and later Edgecombe
2 CONT County. From there various branches moved to Anson Co., NC, South
2 CONT Carolina and Georgia.
2 CONT
2 CONT Lydia may have been related to one of the families that were living
2 CONT near the Culpepper's in Edgecombe / Granville County on Fishing Creek,
2 CONT Sandy Creek, Mocassin Creek, or Peach Tree Creek, such as the
2 CONT Strothers, Richardson's, Masons, Thompsons, Powell's, Ward's, Wilders,
2 CONT Foreman's, and Rowell's, to mention a few.
2 CONT
2 CONT Since no will has been found, there is only circumstantial evidence
2 CONT based on extant records to suggest that Lydia's husband was Benjamin
2 CONT Culpepper, Jr. and that they married around 1741 on Fishing Creek in
2 CONT Edgecombe County, North Carolina.
2 CONT
2 CONT Sometime between 1754 and 1767, Lydia and her sons, and possibly her
2 CONT husband Benjamin Jr., as well, moved to South Carolina, either
2 CONT Orangeburg or Camden District. By 1771, Lydia was in Camden District
2 CONT where, as noted, she was granted 350 acres on Griffin's Creek in 1771.
2 CONT She was mentioned on a tax record there in 1775 (Leon Hollingsworth
2 CONT Collection). Her date of death is not known. She did not appear as a
2 CONT head-of-household in the first U. S. census in 1790 although she might
2 CONT have been one of three women noted living with her probable son,
2 CONT Joseph Culpepper.

1 NOTE Joseph Culpepper was born around 1696 in Norfolk County, VA. He moved
2 CONT to Bertie County, NC in the early to mid-1720's, to an area which
2 CONT later became Northampton County. By the late 1730's he had moved to
2 CONT Edgecombe County, NC, where he died intestate around 1745.
2 CONT
2 CONT Since Joseph left no will, understanding the disposition of his land,
2 CONT and the disposition of the land of his brother Benjamin, is central to
2 CONT determining descendants of both lines.
2 CONT
2 CONT Joseph's son Benjamin apparently inherited all of his land by right of
2 CONT primogeniture. See the article on him for further details.
2 CONT
2 CONT Joseph's own ancestry is not in question, as he was a legatee in his
2 CONT father Robert Culpepper's will in Norfolk County in 1743, and no other
2 CONT early Joseph who could have been Robert's son.
2 CONT
2 CONT As mentioned, by 1725, if not earlier, Joseph was in Bertie County,
2 CONT NC, as in August of that year he witnessed two deeds there, one for
2 CONT William Whitehead and one for William Bennett. (Deed Book 1725-1727,
2 CONT B2, B14) Whitehead and Bennett owned land adjacent to each other on
2 CONT the Roanoke River.
2 CONT
2 CONT On 2 Aug 1727, John Bass, Jr., was granted "410 acres on the
2 CONT Northernly side of the Morattock [now Roanoke] River, joining the
2 CONT South side of Bear Swamp," adjacent to Robert House and Joseph
2 CONT Culpepper. (Abstracts of Land Patents by Margaret Hofmann, #2407 in
2 CONT her book, found in Patent Book 3, page 213)
2 CONT
2 CONT  On the same day, 2 Aug 1727, Joseph Culpepper was granted 364 acres
2 CONT in Bertie County on the "Northernly parts of the Morratock [now
2 CONT Roanoke] River joining Robert Newsam and Robert House." (Abstracts of
2 CONT Land Patents by Margaret Hofmann, # 2435 in her book, from Patent Bk 3
2 CONT p. 220)
2 CONT
2 CONT From the two previous grants, we can see that Joseph's land in the
2 CONT 1720's was near Bear Swamp in present day Northampton County, NC. So
2 CONT the land must have been east of NC State Road 305, and less than four
2 CONT miles north of present day Rich Square, NC (founded in 1750). Joseph
2 CONT may have lived in present day Northampton County, NC, from his first
2 CONT arrival in North Carolina, prior to 1725, until after the fall harvest
2 CONT of 1738.
2 CONT
2 CONT The John Bass, Jr., mentioned above, must have been related to Isaac
2 CONT Bass, who, some 30 years later, owned land on Peachtree Creek adjacent
2 CONT to Joseph's brother Benjamin. (Granville Grants Vol IV, by Margaret
2 CONT Hofmann, her no's. 963-5).
2 CONT
2 CONT On 5 Dec 1738, John Edwards [Sr.] of Bertie Pct. [later Northampton
2 CONT County], Esquire, deeded 320 acres in Edgecombe Pct. to Joseph
2 CONT Culpepper, for £16. The land was on the south side of the Morratuck
2 CONT River and the west side of Fishing Creek, and joined the land of
2 CONT Emanuel Rogers. (Abstracts of Edgecombe Pct. Deeds, by Margaret M.
2 CONT Hofmann, her page 26, from Book1, page 291 in Halifax Co. NC deeds
2 CONT Early Edgecombe deeds ended up in Halifax records.)
2 CONT
2 CONT As proven by the grant to the adjacent land owner, Emanuel Rogers,
2 CONT Joseph's new farm was near Beaverdam Swamp and present day State Road
2 CONT 48 and about 13 miles north of Rocky Mount, NC. The grant to Emanuel
2 CONT Rogers, was "on the South side of the Morattock River, joining
2 CONT Beaverdam Swamp (a branch of Fishing Creek). (Province of North
2 CONT Carolina 1663-1729 Abstracts of Land Patents by Margaret M. Hofmann,
2 CONT her # 2537, from Patent Book 3, page 246) Beaverdam Swamp is just
2 CONT south of Fishing Creek and just east of State Road 48.
2 CONT
2 CONT Joseph's new farm was about 30 miles west of his previous land on Bear
2 CONT Swamp in Bertie (later Northampton) County. Culpepper's Bridge,
2 CONT perhaps named for Joseph's nephew Benjamin, is on State Road 48 at
2 CONT Fishing Creek.
2 CONT
2 CONT A few years later, in 1749, William Culpepper got a grant in the same
2 CONT area. (Granville Grants Vol. I, by Margaret M. Hofmann, #645 in her
2 CONT book).
2 CONT
2 CONT Curiously enough, a land entry for a Benjamin Culpepper was adjacent
2 CONT to the land of John Rogers, thought to have been a brother of the
2 CONT above Emanuel Rogers. (Edgecombe County, NC Court Records, February
2 CONT 1741, Book of Rights, file # SS906, found at the NC Archives by Dick
2 CONT Culpepper)
2 CONT
2 CONT John and Emanuel Rogers may have been the sons of John Rogers, Sr.,
2 CONT who died in Bertie (later Northampton) County, NC, in 1726. [(Colonial
2 CONT Bertie County, NC, Deed Books A-H, 1720-1757, by Mary Best Bell, page
2 CONT 35 in the book, from Bertie Deed Book B, page 201, "Inventory of John
2 CONT Rogers, November 1726) Most of Emanuel Roger's land was north of
2 CONT Fishing Creek in the Quankey Creek area. John Rogers, Jr. owned land
2 CONT on Little Fishing Creek (a. k. a. Conway Creek), which was also north
2 CONT of Fishing Creek. In 1758 these areas north of Fishing Creek became
2 CONT part of Halifax County.
2 CONT
2 CONT In 1741 Northampton County and Edgecombe County were formed from
2 CONT Bertie County.
2 CONT
2 CONT In January 1741, Joseph Culpepper of Edgecombe County deeded to his
2 CONT brother Benjamin Culpepper, of Edgecombe Co, 160 acres for £8 on west
2 CONT side of Fishing Creek, which was one-half of the John Edwards tract
2 CONT mentioned above. Some 260 years later, this one key deed is the most
2 CONT troubling one to current researchers. One can only speculate why, but
2 CONT this deed does not adequately describe the land involved in this sale.
2 CONT Was this the east half, or the west half, of Joseph's original Fishing
2 CONT Creek property. We may never know. And the question is important. See
2 CONT the footnote to this article, which describes the Fishing Creek deeds
2 CONT in detail.
2 CONT
2 CONT Joseph's cattle brand is recorded in Edgecombe County in 1741 in the
2 CONT "Book of Marks.1
2 CONT
2 CONT On 27 Feb 1743, Joseph Culpepper took out a land entry for 300 acres
2 CONT in Edgecombe County on the north side of Swift Creek below the mouth
2 CONT of Tuckahoe Branch, including his own improvements. (Tuckahoe Branch
2 CONT on Swift Creek is not mentioned in "The North Carolina Gazeteer," by
2 CONT Powell. It does mention other Tuckahoes, and says that the Tuckahoe
2 CONT was a plant whose roots were eaten by the Indians.) The location of
2 CONT this grant on Swift Creek has not been positively identified. This
2 CONT writer thinks that it was probably near Hilliardston Community, in
2 CONT current day Nash County. This is the point at which Sandy Creek
2 CONT becomes Swift Creek.
2 CONT
2 CONT Back in Northampton County, on 6 April 1745, John Edwards was granted
2 CONT 595 acres on both sides of Bear Swamp, joining Joseph Culpepper's
2 CONT land, and at a point near the mouth of White Oak Branch, Solomon
2 CONT Fuller, William Boon, and the said swamp. (Land Patents, by Margaret
2 CONT M. Hofmann, her # 2839, from Patent Book 5, p. 223)
2 CONT
2 CONT And on 10 November 1745, John Edwards granted 139 acres in Northampton
2 CONT County on both sides of Bear Swamp to Thomas Hayes, for £20. The land
2 CONT joined Joseph Culpepper, Solomon Fuller, and William Boon, and was
2 CONT part of a 595 acre patent to John Edwards dated 6 April 1745.
2 CONT
2 CONT Since Edward's original patent (Patent Bk 5, p. 223, as found in
2 CONT Hofmann, Colony of NC Land Patents, p. 199) also mentioned the same
2 CONT adjacent land owners, this might suggest that Joseph Culpepper still
2 CONT owned his land in Northampton as late as 1745, having moved to
2 CONT Edgecombe County a few years earlier. It is not clear whether Joseph
2 CONT sold this land in Northampton prior to his death in 1745, or whether
2 CONT his widow or heirs sold it after his death. Whoever bought the land,
2 CONT unfortunately, did not record the deed.
2 CONT
2 CONT John Edwards Sr., gave his sons John Jr., and Thomas, land in the
2 CONT Rocky Swamp area north of Fishing Creek, in what later became Halifax
2 CONT County. (Edgecombe Pct. Deeds, by Margaret Hofmann, Book 3, p. 136,
2 CONT and Book 5, p. 192) John Edwards Sr. died in Northampton County in
2 CONT 1765, and his will does not mention a daughter who married a
2 CONT Culpepper.
2 CONT
2 CONT So while Joseph and Benjamin Culpepper lived south of Fishing Creek,
2 CONT some of their acquaintances lived north of Fishing Creek, such as John
2 CONT and Emanuel Rogers.
2 CONT
2 CONT Joseph died in Edgecombe County in 1745. His wife Martha was appointed
2 CONT administrator of his estate in May 1745, and in August was appointed
2 CONT guardian of their four minor children, John, Joseph, Argent, and
2 CONT Sampson. The children were all under the age of fourteen since their
2 CONT guardian was appointed by the court.
2 CONT
2 CONT At the time of his death, Joseph apparently owned one or possibly two
2 CONT tracts of land. He owned the west half of his 320 acre grant on
2 CONT Fishing Creek. And he may have owned a 300 acre tract on Swift Creek,
2 CONT for which no final patent has survived. This writer thinks that he
2 CONT owned both tracts, and that that both devolved by right of
2 CONT primogeniture, to his son Benjamin. See the article on Benjamin for
2 CONT further details.
2 CONT
2 CONT Joseph's widow, Martha, probably continued to live on the west half of
2 CONT the Fishing Creek property until she remarried, around 1751 to
2 CONT Benjamin Dumas. At this point, her son Benjamin sold his half of the
2 CONT Fishing Creek property to his cousin Benjamin, ferryman, whose own
2 CONT widowed mother already lived on the east half of the property.
2 CONT
2 CONT On 21 August 1753, William Wilder sold 100 acres adjacent to the widow
2 CONT Culpepper and the widow Mason and the south side of Fishing Creek.
2 CONT Witnesses were Thomas Mann, Benjamin Culpepper (B was his mark) and
2 CONT Nathaniel Powell (N was his mark). (Edgecombe Pct. Deeds by Margaret
2 CONT M. Hofmann, Deed Book 4, page 531) This land had been a grant to
2 CONT William Wilder on 2 May 1752. (Granville Grants Vol. I, by Hofmann,
2 CONT #1292 in her book, from Patent Book 11, page 304) From the description
2 CONT of the land, we can see that it bounded Joseph Culpepper's original
2 CONT Fishing Creek property on the west.
2 CONT
2 CONT The widow Mason, just mentioned, was probably Hannah, widow of Ralph
2 CONT Mason. (Estate Records of Edgecombe County, NC, by Joseph W. Watson,
2 CONT page 175) Later deeds show Ralph Mason's son Mark living adjacent to
2 CONT the Culpepper farm, so Hannah must have been deceased by then.
2 CONT (Granville Grants, Vol. I, by Hofmann, # 999 in her book, from Patent
2 CONT Book 11, page 237 -- see also #863 and #1292 in this book) Ralph's
2 CONT son, Foster Mason, also lived in this area, and his wife Elizabeth was
2 CONT a widow by this time as well.
2 CONT .
2 CONT William Wilder, just mentioned, had married Elizabeth Culpepper,
2 CONT daughter of Joseph and Martha Culpepper, around 1745.
2 CONT
2 CONT According to testimony in court Martha Culpepper's second husband,
2 CONT Benjamin Dumas died 1 Oct 1763 in Anson County. He did not leave a
2 CONT will.
2 CONT
2 CONT Martha's will has been found in the court minutes of a case filed in
2 CONT Salisbury District by John and Joseph Culpepper, sons of Joseph
2 CONT Culpepper, Sr., against David Dumas, son of Benjamin Dumas and
2 CONT administrator of his estate. Martha's will was dated 23 Jan 1764 and
2 CONT was probated 26 Jan, 1764. (Rowan County Estate Records 1753-1929,

2 CONT In it she mentioned her "well beloved children" Joseph Culpepper, John
2 CONT Culpepper, Sampson Culpepper, Elizabeth Wilder and Sarah Culpepper.
2 CONT Sampson was called "my youngest son." Elizabeth and Sarah were not
2 CONT mentioned when Joseph died so they must have been over 21 or married.
2 CONT
2 CONT A daughter, Argent, was mentioned in Joseph Culpepper's estate, but
2 CONT not in his widow Martha's will.
2 CONT
2 CONT The best clues we have to Allison's ancestry are in two 1827 deeds in
2 CONT Jackson Co, GA. In Feb 1827, Allison Culpepper sold his 240 acres in
2 CONT Jackson Co, GA, two separate tracts on Candler's Creek, to Ambrose
2 CONT Yarbrough. Witnesses were Joel Culpepper and Dennis Duncan. The tracts
2 CONT had been granted originally to David Allen (40 acres) and E. Marbury
2 CONT (200 acres). The chain of title from these men to Allison Culpepper
2 CONT has not been found (Jackson Co. Deed Bk. L, both on p. 32).      The
2 CONT Joel Culpepper who witnessed Allison's deed was the son of Joseph
2 CONT Culpepper III.      Ambrose Yarbrough, who bought Allison's land, was
2 CONT a Baptist minister from Anson Co, NC. He was married to Elizabeth
2 CONT Culpepper, apparent daughter of John Culpepper. But Ambrose was
2 CONT closely associated with the family of Joseph Culpepper III, as well.
2 CONT He was a witness to the 1816 will of Joseph Culpepper III in Jackson
2 CONT Co. GA. Ambrose's daughter Frances married James Culpepper, son of the
2 CONT above Joel Culpepper, son of Joseph III.
2 CONT
2 CONT And it is significant that this 1827 record of Allison was in Jackson
2 CONT Co, where Joseph Culpepper III lived. Malachi Culpepper, the other
2 CONT known son of Joseph, Jr., was also connected to Jackson County. He
2 CONT received Revolutionary War Grants there between 1784 and 1793.

1 NOTE ANALYSIS OF PETITION OF EXECUTORS OF MARTHA DUMAS:
2 CONT A Petition in Equity was filed by JOSEPH CULPEPPER and JOHN CULPEPPER,
2 CONT executors of the estate of MARTHA DUMAS against DAVID DUMAS,
2 CONT administrator of the estate of BENJAMIN DUMAS in the Superior Court of
2 CONT Rowan County, North Carolina in September, 1764. This Petition was
2 CONT recently found and copied in the North Carolina Archives by Gertrude
2 CONT J. Stone. The location of the record is most curious. The Archives
2 CONT stamped the copy.
2 CONT
2 CONT From: Rowan County Estate Records, 1753 to 1929
2 CONT Name: Benjamin Dumas
2 CONT
2 CONT In actuality the Petition is a pleading in the Superior Court and
2 CONT belongs in its records rather than in the estate records.
2 CONT
2 CONT All of the parties were residents of Anson County, NC. Accordingly, at
2 CONT first it seems quite odd that the case was filed in Rowan County. A
2 CONT knowledge of the evolution of English courts taught only in legal
2 CONT history courses and of North Carolina courts is necessary to explain
2 CONT the anomaly. Over the centuries a dual court system evolved in
2 CONT England. "Law" courts were more rigid. "Equity" courts were more free
2 CONT to fashion a remedy if the aggrieved party "had no remedy at law." The
2 CONT Petition filed in this case was in equity. Apparently, there was no
2 CONT equity court in Anson County and Rowan County had equity Jurisdiction
2 CONT over Anson County. Hence, the case was filed in Rowan Superior Court.
2 CONT
2 CONT Under English common law, when a husband died, his widow had dower
2 CONT rights in one-third of his estate during the remainder of her life.
2 CONT However, upon the death of the widow, the property enjoyed by the
2 CONT widow during her lifetime would go to the heirs of the husband. The
2 CONT Petition was a suit by the children of MARTHA Dumas by her first
2 CONT husband, JOSEPH CULPEPPER, claiming the dower property should pass to
2 CONT them under MARTHA'S last will and testament rather than to revert to
2 CONT BENJAMIN DUMAS' children, by operation of law.
2 CONT
2 CONT The Petition establishes the following:
2 CONT ( 1 ) BENJAMIN DUMAS died without will on October 21, 1763.
2 CONT (2) MARTHA DUMAS made her will on January 23, 1764 and died the next
2 CONT day on January 24, 1764.
2 CONT (3) DAVID DUMAS applied for letters of administration for the estate
2 CONT of BENJAMIN DUMAS on January 24, 1764.
2 CONT (4) The will of MARTHA DUMAS was proved on January 26, 1764.
2 CONT (5) The Petition was filed in September, 1764. However, for some
2 CONT reason, a Summons was not issued until March 22, 1766. The Summons set
2 CONT a court date of September 22, 1766.
2 CONT
2 CONT The Petition sets out the verbatim text of the will of MARTHA DUMAS.
2 CONT The important parts are as follows:
2 CONT (1) . . . I give and bequeath to my youngest son SAMPSON CULPEPPER ore
2 CONT Negro girl named Effey.
2 CONT (2) .... I give and bequeath unto my son JOSEPH CULPEPPER, JOHN
2 CONT CULPEPPER, AND SAMPSON CULPEPPER, AND ELIZABETH WILDER, and SARAH
2 CONT CULPEPPER my well beloved children, an equal part and portion to each
2 CONT and every of them, to be equally divided..."
2 CONT (3) Sons JOHN and JOSEPH were named executors.
2 CONT (4) Witnesses were JOHN COLSON, JOHN GIBSON and ANDREW PRESLY....

1 NOTE The following information was taken from "Our Heritage," a genealogy
2 CONT column in the newspaper The Monroe Enquirer, issued dated Thursday,
2 CONT July 9 1959:
2 CONT "Benjamin Alexander. The date and place of his birth are unknown, but
2 CONT as his son William was born in 1749, it may be assumed that he was
2 CONT born about 1725-30. The date of his death and place of burial are
2 CONT unknown - although he may have been buried at Poplar Tent church.
2 CONT However, he died after 1807, as he was granted land on Mallard Creek,
2 CONT April 28, 1807.
2 CONT Benjamin and Susanna Alexander migrated to Mecklenburg Co., N. C.,
2 CONT from PA., sometime after 1760, as they sold land on the north side of
2 CONT Catawba River, on the south branch of Fishing Creek, on 3-22-1765
2 CONT (Meck. Book 2, p. 722).
2 CONT On 1-21-1768, Benjamin and Susanna Alexander sold 200 acres on the
2 CONT waters of Buffalo Creek, on the head branch of Betts Creek (4-473).
2 CONT July, 1767, they bought 391 A., on both sides of Mallard Creek, from
2 CONT H. E. McCullough (4-36).
2 CONT
2 CONT From about 1725, until the outbreak of the Revolution there was an
2 CONT increasing migration of the Scot-Irish of Ulster  to America. Many of
2 CONT these were Alexanders who settled largely in PA. There were also
2 CONT Alexander emigrants from Scotland.  Benjamin was probably of these
2 CONT later arrivals. It is certain that he and his wife lived in PA, before
2 CONT going to NC, as his son William stated in his Pension Declaration that
2 CONT he was born in Bucks County, Penn., in 1749. As his brother Thomas was
2 CONT born in 1753, he was doubtless born in PA, also (Bucks Co. was one of
2 CONT the three original counties erected by PA, and at that time embraced
2 CONT all the territory north and northwest of Philadelphia Co. Again, a
2 CONT diligent search of Pennsylvania records has failed to identify him.
2 CONT
2 CONT The following is a continuation of the above genealogy column in the
2 CONT newspaper dated Thursday, July 16, 1959:
2 CONT "Benjamin Alexander became a large land owner and lived in the Mallard
2 CONT Creek section of Mecklenburg county. (The 1790, U. S. Census lists a
2 CONT Benjamin Alex'r as living in that section with a household of two
2 CONT males over 16; one female and no slaves).
2 CONT It is probable that Benjamin received his first grants of land from
2 CONT the Colonial Government; which records are unobtainable.  The first
2 CONT land record in Mecklenburg County of Benjamin and Susanna Alex'r is
2 CONT where they deeded Andrew Meek, of Charles Co., MD., land on the north
2 CONT side of Catawba River and south branch of Fishing Creek, 3-22-1765.
2 CONT (2-722). The next record is from Charles Campbell, of Bertie Co., to
2 CONT Benjamin Alex'r 38 A., of land on branches of Mallard Creek, Jan.
2 CONT 1767. (4-30). On July of the same year he bought 391 A., on both sides
2 CONT of Mallard Creek, from H. E. McCullough. (4-36).
2 CONT
2 CONT He received three grants of land from the State of N. C., the last
2 CONT being on 4-28-1807. (17-173). This is the last land record found of
2 CONT Benjamin. In the interim he acquired or conveyed at least 18 parcels.
2 CONT The total acreage deeded to him was well over 1,800. In many of the
2 CONT deeds the names of both Benjamin and Susanna appear, and in one deed
2 CONT (April 1789) Benjamin and William bought 213 A., on Mallard Creek,
2 CONT including a mill, from Hannah Garrison. (11-14). The William was
2 CONT probably his son, Capt. William (Black Billy).

1 NOTE  Robert emerges in Norfolk County records in 1692 when he bought 50
2 CONT acres from Thomas and Elizabeth Green, for 2,000 pounds of tobacco.
2 CONT
2 CONT Records on the Culpepper family in Norfolk County in the early 1700's
2 CONT are scarce.
2 CONT
2 CONT 12 Feb 1710 -- THOMAS GREEN of the Western Branch of the Elizabeth
2 CONT River Parish and heir at law to THOMAS GREEN late of the same parish
2 CONT to RICHARD BUNTING, weaver, of the same place for 2,250 pounds of
2 CONT tobacco, and also in consideration of the vast expense and charge that
2 CONT hath bin in a suite of law between the said RICHARD BUNTING and JOHN
2 CONT WILLIS, guardian to the said Green, about a certain tract and dividend
2 CONT of land, wherefore the said Green being come to age to avoid further
2 CONT charge about the land doth give and confer to the said Bunting this
2 CONT indenture of lease and release -- 200 acres on the south side of the
2 CONT West Brand of the Elizabeth River known by the name of Fishey Neck,
2 CONT being that land which PETER SMITH late of this county, deceased,
2 CONT patented and after sold and conferred to the said Bunting which said
2 CONT land was and is within the bounds of the said Green and his patent,
2 CONT bounded ... etc.
2 CONT Witnesses: ROBERT CULPEPPER, James Sabord(?), John Portlock
2 CONT
2 CONT In 1713, Robert Culpepper and Eleazer Tart witnessed the will of
2 CONT Robert's uncle, Richard Bunting (Norfolk Co DB 9, p. 269). There were
2 CONT two Eleazer Tarts, father and son. This Eleazer Tart was probably the
2 CONT son of Eleazer Tart, Sr. Eleazer Tart, Jr, married Robert Culpepper's
2 CONT daughter, Mary.
2 CONT
2 CONT In 1716, Robert Culpepper and Edward Lewelling witnessed the will of
2 CONT William Dale. (Richard Dale later witnessed Robert Culpepper's will.)
2 CONT
2 CONT In 1727, Robert Culpepper bought 50 acres on the West Branch of the
2 CONT Elizabeth River from his cousin Jonas Winfield, for £10. (See will of
2 CONT Jeane Green, Robert's grandmother).
2 CONT
2 CONT Robert Culpepper died in 1743. He must have been about 80 years old,
2 CONT which was well above average for his day and age.
2 CONT
2 CONT Robert's will, written in 1739 and proven in 1743, is important, as he
2 CONT and his brother Henry are the ancestors of most of the American
2 CONT Culpeppers. It is necessary to look at a copy of the actual document
2 CONT and not the abstract, to note that Robert had a son, Robert, Jr., to
2 CONT whom he gave his great Bible, his "lancets, horse flemes, and other
2 CONT instruments of iron for the use of horses." A fleam was a surgical
2 CONT knife, as was a lancet.
2 CONT
2 CONT Robert gave five Shillings each to his sons Joseph and Benjamin
2 CONT Culpepper, who by this time were in Edgecombe County, NC.
2 CONT
2 CONT He gave half a Crown each to his daughters Rachel Wilder and Ann
2 CONT Wilder. These small gifts of money indicate that Rachel and Ann had
2 CONT moved away from Norfolk County, and had probably already had some help
2 CONT along the way from Robert.
2 CONT
2 CONT He gave his daughter Elizabeth Ward, wife of John Ward, an ewe and a
2 CONT lamb, suggesting that she still lived nearby in 1743.
2 CONT
2 CONT And daughter Mury Green must have been nearby in 1743, as she received
2 CONT an ewe as well. Mury's husband may have been Henry Green (see below).
2 CONT At the moment, descendants of Mury Green are unidentified. However,
2 CONT there were folks named Green in early Edgecombe County, NC records.
2 CONT
2 CONT Robert Culpepper made a point of mentioning his grandson, William
2 CONT Culpepper, in his will. William got a cow and calf, and an ewe and
2 CONT lamb. Robert must have been particularly fond of William, since
2 CONT William got more live stock than Robert's daughters, Elizabeth Ward,
2 CONT and Mury Green. This was probably his grandson William, son of Robert
2 CONT Culpepper, Jr.
2 CONT
2 CONT Robert gave all his land in Norfolk County to "his loving daughter
2 CONT Mary Tart," and appointed her husband, Eleazer Tart, as his sole
2 CONT executor. Henry Green, John Joyce, and Richard Dale witnessed the
2 CONT will.
2 CONT
2 CONT One could suspect that Robert's daughter Mary was the one who was
2 CONT looking after him in his old age, and so she was the one who was
2 CONT rewarded with Robert's land.

1 NOTE Based on the deed below, it has been suggested that Robert's wife may
2 CONT have been Sarah. However, Sarah is probably not his wife since she was
2 CONT not mentioned in his will.
2 CONT 6 Feb. 1746 -- Deed Bk 14, p 24, Peter Taylor and his wife, Dorcas, of
2 CONT Norfolk County, Va. to Richard Bunting of Norfolk Co. for 25 pounds
2 CONT current money a tract of 50 acres of land on the south side of the
2 CONT Western Branch of the Elizabeth River, in (Newby’s or Hubey’s) Neck
2 CONT joining the lands of John Joyce and Richard Taylor being the land said
2 CONT Richard Bunting sold to Peter Taylor. Sign. Peter Taylor and Dorcas
2 CONT Taylor (X), wit. Ralph (Fenter), SARAH CULPEPPER (X her mark), Elanor
2 CONT Tart. Transcribed by Clyde T. Colbert
2 CONT
2 CONT It is interesting to note that each of her sons, Robert, Jr., Joseph,
2 CONT and Benjamin, named a son Benjamin. In the case of Joseph and
2 CONT Benjamin, at least, it would appear that they each named their first
2 CONT born son, Benjamin. Various naming conventions were used by different
2 CONT cultures in the South, but in Virginia, first born sons were most
2 CONT often named after a grandfather. (See "Albion's Seed, Four British
2 CONT Folkways in America," by David Hackett Fischer.)
2 CONT
2 CONT So perhaps the father of Robert's wife was named Benjamin.
2 CONT
2 CONT The birth dates of Robert's children are largely speculative, and
2 CONT subject to revision from further research. Perhaps the order in which
2 CONT Robert names his children in his will offers us some guidance as to
2 CONT the order of birth. This writer prefers to use the known or
2 CONT approximate birth dates of children, to estimate the birth date of the
2 CONT parents. The dates one chooses, in either case, are going to be
2 CONT guesses, at best.
2 CONT
2 CONT If our current ancestral theory is correct, then one would hope that
2 CONT all of the male names used in this family, Robert, Joseph, and
2 CONT Benjamin, came from the distaff side of the Culpepper family, in some
2 CONT recent prior generation, as none of these names are Culpepper family
2 CONT names, in the branch of the Culpeppers from which we currently
2 CONT speculate that this line is descended.

2 CONT American Culpeppers. He was the son of John Culpeper (born 1606), who
2 CONT was the son of John Culpeper of Feckenham and Ursula Woodcock, but
2 CONT this is far from being proven. While there is some evidence to suggest
2 CONT that the name of Henry's father was John, it has not been possible to

2 CONT family with other connections in Virginia.
2 CONT
2 CONT Although several of Thomas's children are known from baptismal records
2 CONT in England, one cannot necessarily conclude that the list of known
2 CONT children is a complete list, since neither Thomas nor his wife left a
2 CONT will.
2 CONT
2 CONT Henry was probably born in England, perhaps around 1633, and came to
2 CONT Virginia as a young man, in May 1653 or prior. One cannot be certain
2 CONT of the exact date of his arrival, as Henry apparently paid for his own
2 CONT voyage, and then sold his claim to 50 acres of land (his headright) to
2 CONT Captain Nathaniel Hurd. He might have arrived some time prior to
2 CONT selling his headright, perhaps even years earlier. There is no
2 CONT evidence that Henry paid for his voyage by becoming an indentured
2 CONT servant to Captain Hurd. Only five years later (1658) Henry is
2 CONT mentioned as a Planter, and so seems to have been someone of means.
2 CONT
2 CONT On 7 Dec 1658, "Henry Colepepper, Planter" sold a cow in Lancaster
2 CONT Co., VA ("Virginia County Court Records: Deed & Will Abstracts of
2 CONT Lancaster County, Virginia, 1654-1661"] p. 94). The fact that Henry
2 CONT was listed as a "Planter" indicates that he had chosen to make
2 CONT Virginia his home, that he owned land, and that he was apparently
2 CONT making a living raising cattle. Exactly what land he owned, where, and
2 CONT how and when he acquired it, has not been determined. A check of early
2 CONT Lancaster County tithable records does not reveal anyone named
2 CONT Culpeper, Culpepper, or Colepeper. This does not mean that Henry did
2 CONT not live in Lancaster County, just that he was not taxed for being a
2 CONT property owner.
2 CONT
2 CONT On 14 Sep 1659, a "John Colepeper" was also noted in Lancaster Co., VA
2 CONT deed records witnessing a deed which set parish boundaries. ("Virginia
2 CONT County Court Records: Deed & Will Abstracts of Lancaster County,
2 CONT Virginia, 1661-1702"] p. 88 (recorded 9 May 1660 p. 374))
2 CONT
2 CONT This same document is also referenced in Beverly Fleet's "Virginia
2 CONT Colonial Abstracts, Vol. 1, Lancaster County, Record Book No. 2, 1654
2 CONT - 1666. John Colepeper served "as a witness to a meeting of the
2 CONT parishoners of Lancaster Parish and Pieankitank for the final ordering
2 CONT of all differences betwixt the 2 parishes concerning the bounds of the
2 CONT said parishes should be and extend according to an order of the County
2 CONT Court bearing date 10th day of Sept 1657." This meeting was recorded
2 CONT on 20 May 1660.
2 CONT
2 CONT The area of discussion at the meeting is the part of Lancaster County
2 CONT across the Rappahannock River in what is now Middlesex County.
2 CONT Middlesex County was formed from Lancaster County in 1673. The
2 CONT Pianketank River (just mentioned) divides present Middlesex County
2 CONT from Mathews County. The records of Mathews County were burned during
2 CONT the Civil War, but Middlesex County, on the other hand, has excellent
2 CONT records, including the Christ Church Parish records. The Middlesex
2 CONT records are probably too late to be of much use.
2 CONT
2 CONT Lancaster County records have survived, for the most part, from the
2 CONT beginning of the county in 1652, and should be studied further.
2 CONT Lancaster County, at the tip of the Northern Neck, was a home base of
2 CONT the Northern Neck Proprietary. Bill Russell has suggested that Thomas
2 CONT Culpeper, son of John of Feckenham, may also have lived in the
2 CONT Lancaster County area from 1649 until his death in 1652. For most of
2 CONT this time the area would have been in Northumberland County, the
2 CONT parent county of Lancaster County. Thomas was one-seventh proprietor
2 CONT of the Northern Neck under the charter of 1649.
2 CONT
2 CONT A Henry Culpeper and a John Culpeper were both listed as "Shippers by
2 CONT the Defence," which was bound from London for New England 10 May 1664
2 CONT - 30 June 1664. Also mentioned was Sir William Peake, who was perhaps
2 CONT the Sir William Peake who was Lord Mayor of London a few years later,
2 CONT in 1667. ["The Complete Book of Emigrants 1661-1699"], p. 64 by Peter
2 CONT Wilson Coldham, Genealogical Publishing Co., Inc].
2 CONT
2 CONT It is difficult to say which John Culpeper this might have been, who
2 CONT was traveling with Henry. There were as many as three Johns in
2 CONT Virginia and neighboring Albemarle, NC, about this time: John (born
2 CONT 1606), John (born 1633, son of Thomas and Katherine), and John (born
2 CONT 1640's, of Albemarle). But it doesn't necessarily matter which John it
2 CONT was, as all three may have been related, and this record seems to
2 CONT connect Henry to this branch of the family, which is the descendants
2 CONT of John Culpepper of Feckenham (born 1565) and and his wife Ursula
2 CONT Woodcock.
2 CONT
2 CONT No record has been found of Henry's marriage to Elizabeth. But
2 CONT evidence suggests that her maiden name was probably Greene.
2 CONT
2 CONT By 1667 or prior, Henry had moved to Lower Norfolk County, VA. The
2 CONT following is what we have been able to glean about him from the early
2 CONT Lower Norfolk deed records.

2 CONT
2 CONT It is important to note that Henry signed all of the above deeds with
2 CONT a distinct handwriten or script "H," suggesting that he was literate,
2 CONT and probably educated abroad. There are no further deeds in Lower
2 CONT Norfolk County signed with this mark after 1675. This writer has found
2 CONT that each of the first three Henry Culpeppers in Lower Norfolk /
2 CONT Norfolk County used a distinct mark in signing his deeds, and has used
2 CONT these marks to distinguish between the three men.
2 CONT
2 CONT There are no further records on this Henry Culpepper or his wife
2 CONT Elizabeth in Lower Norfolk County after 1675, and he is assumed to
2 CONT have died in the few years following that date.
2 CONT
2 CONT In 1691, Lower Norfolk County was split into Princess Ann County, and
2 CONT Norfolk County. The land where Henry and Elizabeth Culpepper had lived
2 CONT fell into Norfolk County.

1 NOTE Battle Honours - Interesting citation of the ship Culpeper as winning
2 CONT battle
2 CONT honors with the English fleet against the Dutch in at the Battle of
2 CONT Gabbard 2-3 June 1653. I would make this was one of the Culpeper
2 CONT family
2 CONT merchant ships, not a Royal Navy warship. It was probably owned by
2 CONT John the Merchant.
2 CONT
2 CONT John Culpeper, born in 1606, could be the ancestor of most American
2 CONT Culpeppers. And yet little is known about him for certain. Other than
2 CONT this John, and his brother Thomas, there are no known Culpepers with
2 CONT ties to Virginia, old enough to have been the father of the first
2 CONT Henry Culpeper of early Lower Norfolk County, VA. From the research of
2 CONT Fairfax Harrison (see below), we know that although John was trained
2 CONT as a lawyer, he took up the career of a merchant instead, and that he
2 CONT was involved in trade between England and the American colonies. And
2 CONT so hereafter, I'll refer to him as John Culpeper the Merchant.
2 CONT
2 CONT Those who think that John the Merchant was the one who died in 1674
2 CONT offer various logical reasons why his land might have escheated back
2 CONT to Virginia, even though they think he did indeed leave descendants.
2 CONT
2 CONT Merchants in colonial America left few records which have survived
2 CONT until today, and our knowledge of John Culpeper the Merchant suffers
2 CONT as a result. But from what little we do know, it seems possible that
2 CONT John the Merchant and his sons may have worked as a agents, or
2 CONT "factors" in colonial trade. The following description of this sort of
2 CONT work is excerpted from Perry of London by Jacob M. Price, page 30:
2 CONT
2 CONT "There were hardly any towns in the seventeenth century Chesapeake
2 CONT except the ‘capitals' of Jamestown and St. Mary's City, and they were
2 CONT places of little commercial importance. Early trading ventures to the
2 CONT Chesapeake had often been entrusted to captains and supercargoes who
2 CONT could travel about and seek out business where settlers were to be
2 CONT found. The practice, however, was inefficient in its utilization of
2 CONT ship time and by mid-century had largely yielded to the factor system.
2 CONT The English merchant desiring to trade to the Chesapeake would either
2 CONT by himself or as part of an ad hoc syndicate or ‘adventure' send out
2 CONT an agent, usually known as a factor, who would sell goods and buy
2 CONT tobacco on the account of his principals, the metropolitan merchants,
2 CONT and receive in return a salary or a commission of ten percent (five
2 CONT percent for selling the trading goods and five percent for buying
2 CONT tobacco). The factor normally rented a room from a planter at a place
2 CONT convenient for keeping his goods; most of his time, however, was spent
2 CONT traveling about, meeting planters, arranging sales and purchases, and
2 CONT related details. He might be at his "store" as seldom as ne day a
2 CONT week. Most of the factors appear to have remained in the colony only a
2 CONT few months... or at most a few years. But some settled permanently. As
2 CONT members of this last group accumulated capital of their own, they
2 CONT became the peddlers, country traders and even merchants of the
2 CONT colony...."
2 CONT
2 CONT John Culpeper the Merchant's work may have taken him to Barbados,
2 CONT Virginia, Maryland, New England, and perhaps elsewhere. Much research
2 CONT remains to be done in order to construct a more accurate and complete
2 CONT picture of John's life and activities.
2 CONT
2 CONT The following account of John Culpeper the Merchant is taken from "The
2 CONT Proprietors of the Northern Neck, Chapters of Culpeper Genealogy" by
2 CONT Fairfax Harrison:
2 CONT
2 CONT "He was baptised in Harrietsham, October 26, 1606, as ‘Johannes,
2 CONT filius Johannis Culpeper, arm.;' and on May 7, 1621, was admitted
2 CONT 'specially' to the Middle Temple as ‘Mr. John, second son of John
2 CONT Culpeper of Astwood, Worc. esq.' (Hopwood, ii, 662). He did not pursue
2 CONT the law, but before 1633 had embarked in the Virginia trade, being
2 CONT recorded that year as part owner, with his elder brother, of a new
2 CONT ship, the Thomas and John, which was equipped with ordnance from the
2 CONT public stores in order to voyage to Virginia (Cal. State Papers, Dom.,
2 CONT 1633-34, p. 223, and Hotten, Original Lists, p. 83). He was named in
2 CONT his father's will (1635) as 'my son John C.;' on his father's MI. in
2 CONT Hollingbourne as 'Johannem' the third child; and in the will of Sir
2 CONT Alexander as 'my nephew John C. her (i. e., Cicely's) brother.'
2 CONT
2 CONT "His legacy under his father's will was a 'rent charge of £30, payable
2 CONT by Sir John [afterwards first Lord] Culpeper during my said son John's
2 CONT life.' When, in 1651, the Commonwealth was hearing claims upon the
2 CONT forfeited estate of Lord Culpeper, a John C. appeared and, describing
2 CONT himself as a merchant who had been 'beyond seas' during the Troubles,
2 CONT asserted his title to this rent charge, claiming that since 1645 he
2 CONT had received only £75 (Cal. Com. Compounding, 1643-60. v, 3277). That
2 CONT this was John there can be no doubt."
2 CONT .
2 CONT There is some evidence that this John was the father of Henry
2 CONT Culpepper, of Norfolk County, VA. Henry Culpepper appears in records
2 CONT of Lancaster County, VA prior to his arrival in Norfolk County, and a
2 CONT John Culpepper can be placed in Lancaster County about the same time.
2 CONT
2 CONT "Lancaster Co VA Deeds & Wills 1654-1661," Page 173 -- The P:sents

2 CONT described as a "planter."

2 CONT The area of discussion at the above meeting is the part of

2 CONT County. The Pianketank River divides present Middlesex County from
2 CONT Mathews County. Middlesex County has excellent records, including the
2 CONT Christ Church Parish records, which should be checked.
2 CONT
2 CONT Also, a John and Henry were traveling on the same ship in 1664: "The
2 CONT Complete Book of Emigrants 1661-1699," by Peter Wilson Coldham, page
2 CONT 64, the year 1664: "10 May - 30 June. Shippers by the Defence, Mr.

2 CONT 50/2)
2 CONT
2 CONT From Bill Rusell, May 2000, comes the following useful summary of John
2 CONT Culpeper, the Merchant:
2 CONT
2 CONT First, John was clearly a ship owner with business interests
2 CONT throughtout the colonies. He had been away from England for some time
2 CONT when he returned to protect his brothers estate in 1651. Their
2 CONT interests were probably more entangled than just their common
2 CONT ownership of the _Thomas and John_. It would appear that they may have
2 CONT owned a trading company with points of presence in England, Barbados,
2 CONT New England, and Virginia. Indeed, John probably had sons or
2 CONT sons-in-law in those places to carry out their trading business. I
2 CONT suspect that Hannah who married Edward Frisbie and Susannah who
2 CONT married Francis Lindley were both daughters. Edward Frisbie was from
2 CONT another prominent merchant trading family in Norfolk County, VA and
2 CONT removed to New England. Francis Lindley ended up in New Jersey after
2 CONT having lived in New England. I also believe the John Culpeper "the
2 CONT Carolina Rebel" was a son of John the merchant.
2 CONT
2 CONT Second, John the Merchant was also John the lawyer, a fact we
2 CONT sometimes overlook and which may go some ways to unraveling some of
2 CONT the confusion over the various Johns. John the merchant was at the
2 CONT Middle Temple as was his brother Thomas. More importantly, he was
2 CONT there at the same time as Gov. Sir William Berkeley. I believe that it
2 CONT was John the merchant who represented the legal interests of Frances
2 CONT Culpeper Stephens Berkeley before the courts in North Carolina and who
2 CONT attested to Berkeley's signature on the deed to
2 CONT Roanoke Island in New England. Who better to entrust to such a job
2 CONT than the Governor's wife's uncle, a lawyer who ownd a ship able to
2 CONT travle to North Carolina and New England on short notice and who
2 CONT personally knew the Governor. He makes a more logical candidate for
2 CONT the job than the relative young "Carolina Rebel" who had no legal
2 CONT training and may not have even reached North Carolina by the time in
2 CONT question.
2 CONT
2 CONT Third, John the merchant had known trading interests and presence in
2 CONT New England and Barbados. Charleston, SC was settled originally by
2 CONT groups from both places and it is possible the John the Rebel was his
2 CONT father's representative in those areas. Culpeper's Rebellion in North
2 CONT Carolina - really Albemarle -, was fomented by New England merchant
2 CONT traders. If John the merchant handled the sale of Roanoke Island for
2 CONT Governor Berkeley, it is clear that the Lamb family who purchased it
2 CONT were friends of Sarah Mayo, John the Rebel's wife. From the records it
2 CONT would appear that John the Rebel arrived in Albemarle after the John
2 CONT Culpeper who was in court in the sale of the property, yet the later
2 CONT buyers were well familiar with John the Rebel's family. The Lamb
2 CONT family who bought Roanoke Island were also New England
2 CONT merchant traders who mainained a family presence in the Albemarle
2 CONT region of North Carolina.

1 NOTE Second surviving son of his generation, he makes his first appearance
2 CONT on the existing record as 'my brother John Colepipir's son, my godson,
2 CONT ' in the 1581 will of his maternal uncle, John Sidley of Southfleet
2 CONT (P.C.C. Darcy, 31; Waters' Gleanings, ii, 969). In October, 1587, or
2 CONT soon after the death of his brother William, when, according to the
2 CONT later testimony of his tombstone, he would be 17 years of age, he was
2 CONT entered at the Middle Temple under the description 'late of New Inn,
2 CONT gent... second son of John Colepeper of Wigsell, Sussex, esq.'
2 CONT (Hopwood, i, 293). Unlike his eldest brother, whose record so far runs
2 CONT parallel, he had entered upon a professional career. Duly called to
2 CONT the bar, by 1595 he was having his youthful kinsmen 'bound' with him,
2 CONT and in 1599 is listed as a Bencher. Frequenting the household of his
2 CONT uncle Francis at Greenway Court, he there met and married his first
2 CONT wife, and after Francis' death established her at Greenway Court (then
2 CONT the property of his younger brother Alexander), as appears from the
2 CONT baptism of one of his children in Harrietsham; but later he occupied a
2 CONT house in Salehurst, as appears from his elder brother's inq. p.m.
2 CONT already cited.
2 CONT
2 CONT That his law practice was profitable, despite his reputation, recorded
2 CONT on his MI., for composing more litigation that he fomented, appears
2 CONT from his ability to subscribe to the Virginia Company under the
2 CONT charter of 1609; and a year later, under the third charter, to make
2 CONT one of the largest individual subscriptions (£37, 10s. 6d.) to the
2 CONT 'supply' which saved the colony at Jamestown from death by inanition
2 CONT (Brown, Genesis, 218, 407, 546).
2 CONT
2 CONT Having been designated, by the will of his uncle Martin, the
2 CONT contingent remainderman of Astwood in Feckenham, he removed his family
2 CONT to Astwood after the inheritance had become certain by the death
2 CONT without issue of his cousin Sir Stephen12; and there buried his first
2 CONT wife in June, 1612. This occupancy was by arrangement with Dr. Martin
2 CONT Culpeper's widow, who had a life estate but had meanwhile re-married
2 CONT and removed her residence elsewhere. In 1616 he bought out that aunt's
2 CONT interest, and then gave over his law practice to become a country
2 CONT gentleman. Being now 'of Feckenham,' he became a diligent presiding
2 CONT magistrate at quarter sessions; being included, a generation ahead of
2 CONT Sir Roger de Coverley, of the quorum in the Worcestershire commission
2 CONT from 1618-1628; again, like Sir Roger, in 1624 he served the office of
2 CONT Sheriff of that county 'with music before me, a feather in my hat and
2 CONT my horse well bitted' (Bund, Cal. Quarter Sessions Papers,
2 CONT Worcestershire, 1591-1643, 1900; Sheriff Lists in Fuller's Worthies).
2 CONT
2 CONT But when he was nearly seventy years of age, for what reason does not
2 CONT appear, he sold Astwood to one Thomas Rich, and returned to Greenway
2 CONT Court to die. There, on December 14, 1635, he made his will and on
2 CONT December 18th following, as the parish register testifies, 'Mr. John
2 CONT Culpeper, Armiger,' was buried in the chancel of Hollingbourne church.
2 CONT His will was as follows:
2 CONT
2 CONT P.C.C. Pile, 4
2 CONT Will dated December 14, 1635
2 CONT Proved January 23, 1635/6.

1 NOTE Tregaron was in Cardiganshire before 1974, after which the county
2 CONT became known as Dyfed until 1996.  In 1996 it became known as the
2 CONT county of Ceredigion.
2 CONT
2 CONT Back in early 1999, B. Franklin Reinauer III sent a letter stating:
2 CONT "While on a trip to London, I located Derlwyn (the property owned by
2 CONT Phillip S(h)elby in Tregaron Parish, Dyfed, Wales on an Ordinance Map.
2 CONT There is a footpath leading from Tregaron across the Valley of the
2 CONT Afon Teifi over a footbridge to Derlwyn..."  on the map it shows
2 CONT Derlwyn just NW of Tregaron...Then a bit later in the year, I heard
2 CONT from a person, who either didn't know what they were tallking about,
2 CONT or was pulling leg!  Said they had been to the library in Aberystwyth
2 CONT and had looked at the records ..... This person said the Shelby
2 CONT homestead was located precisely at the valley where the two rivers,
2 CONT the Croes and the Berwyn meet, within walking distance of Tregaron.
2 CONT (Source:  Judith Trolinger-2003)
2 CONT
2 CONT The below is from a Shelby Genealogical Mailing List which I am on:
2 CONT "Dear Judy,
2 CONT Although I do not have my materials "out" right now, I was in Tregaron
2 CONT several years ago. I visited both the sites you mentioned, and my
2 CONT impression then was that there were two Shelby farms near Tregaron.
2 CONT The Derlyn one is now a modern farm, and there was an older farmhouse
2 CONT that has been torn down. We drove to this place by passing the
2 CONT footpath and getting to a road that led up to the farm. The lady who
2 CONT owns the farm with her husband was most cordial, but didn't know the
2 CONT history of the farm. It is certainly Derlyn and still carries that
2 CONT name. The other place at the
2 CONT meeting of the two rivers we could see, but did not have exact enough
2 CONT information to find the place. Derlyn is up on a hill looking down on
2 CONT the river, a beautiful setting and a prosperous farm. The other place
2 CONT lies in the valley, and there are quite a few houses in the area now.
2 CONT The man who owns Derlyn might be a good source of information about
2 CONT the farm if he was home -- I understood it had been in his family for
2 CONT some length of time. Nobody that we talked to had any recollection of
2 CONT the Shelbys. There is a bed and breadfast right near the turn off road
2 CONT that leads up to Derlyn Just past the bridge (which is old, but was
2 CONT nevertheless built after our family left Wales.) It turned out to be
2 CONT quite busy even in Tregaron in the summer time and also the fall. The
2 CONT area is remote and old fashioned. We heard quite a lot of Welsh
2 CONT spoken, and that was interesting.
2 CONT Kay Kitzmiller"
2 CONT
2 CONT On June 17th, 2004 I went to Tregaron, Wales and found the location of
2 CONT the point where the Croes and the Berwyn meet.  There is in fact a
2 CONT footpath leading there and, although there is no evidence of a
2 CONT building there, I believe that was the location of the old homestead
2 CONT of the Shelby's. (MCM-2004)
2 CONT
2 CONT 28 Aug 2001--Ron Shelby sent a copy of the original Baptismal record
2 CONT for Evan Shelby Sr-found in the records in the National Library of
2 CONT Wales. Father's name, Selby Phillip
2 CONT
2 CONT From Ron Shelby-Sept 2001
2 CONT   "Selby was buried in the local church yard on 26 June, 1731, and his
2 CONT name is recorded as "Shelby Phillip" at this time. This is a very
2 CONT clear record..Unfortunately, the graveyard filled up early in the 19th
2 CONT century, and all the pre 1800 gravestones were removed.
2 CONT   There appears to be no chance to find the exact burial site of
2 CONT Phillip or his headstone. So, while Philip is definitely Evan's
2 CONT father, his own origin is still a mystery. The fact that he was buried
2 CONT as a "Shelby" by the village priest was a surprise to me."  (Courtesy
2 CONT of:  Judy Trolinger)
2 CONT
2 CONT "When she drove my mother and me to the Shelby homestead site I admit
2 CONT being somewhat
2 CONT skeptical that it was the true location. But I later confirmed the
2 CONT facts with Rev. Davis by going through the parish records. When Evan
2 CONT senior married Catherine Davies, the records (written in Latin)
2 CONT clearly state that he was a yeoman (farm-owner) of the parcel of land
2 CONT at themeeting of the Croes and Berwyn rivers."  (Source:
2 CONT lisa.mormon@which.net)
2 CONT
2 CONT In the St. Caron's burial record Philip Selby was said to be of
2 CONT Derllwyn, Irecefel township, Parish of Caronuwch-Clawdd, Co. Cardigan.

1 NOTE The "History of the Old Cheraws" by Gregg states that the father of
2 CONT Francis Gillespie was "James Galespy." The following are notes about
2 CONT James from pp. 62-63:
2 CONT
2 CONT James Galespy came to South Carolina in 1743 from Northern Ireland. In
2 CONT the South Carolina Council Journal for November 9, 1743, "was read the
2 CONT petition of James Galespy, shewing that the Petitioner, having six
2 CONT persons in his family, for whom, as yet, he has not had any lands
2 CONT assigned him, humbly prays that a warrant of survey for 300 acres be
2 CONT granted him in the Welch Tract. But, not appearing to swear to his
2 CONT family right, his petition was ordered to lie on the table." James
2 CONT Galespy was a man of energy and enterprise. In connection with General
2 CONT Christopher Gadsden, of Charleston, he was engaged in boating on the
2 CONT Pedee many years before the Revolution, and is believed to have been
2 CONT the first person who ever brought a boat to Cheraw.... He entered on a
2 CONT successful career as a trader.... James Galespy died before the
2 CONT Revolution.
2 CONT
2 CONT A James Galespie was in South Carolina as early as June 1736, when he
2 CONT witnessed a deed from Richard Purcell, planter, to John Wilson,
2 CONT planter, both of Colleton Co. (SC Deeds, Bk. P, p.49)
2 CONT
2 CONT In July 1757, Charles Lowndes P. M. To Christopher Gadsden, merchant
2 CONT of Charleston, at public auction for 890 pds. currency, 1280 acres on
2 CONT Thompson Creek and Peedee River. Whereas James Gillespie of Craven
2 CONT County owned 1280 acres and whereas on 16 March 1743 he gave bond to
2 CONT Ebenezer Simmons, Benjamin Smith and James Crokatt, in penal sum of
2 CONT 5782 pds. for payment of #2890:13:10.5 currency, with interest, on 2
2 CONT January 1744; and whereas Gillespie died without having paid the debt
2 CONT and Mary Gillespie was appointed administratrix of his goods, etc.,
2 CONT and whereas Simmons, Smith and Corkatt obtained a judgement against
2 CONT her and a writ of fieri facias was issued (Peter Leigh, C.J.,
2 CONT Commanding the P.M. to levy this amount against Gillespie's estate;
2 CONT now the P.M. sells the above tract to Gadsden. Witnesses Thomas Slamm,
2 CONT Joshua Ward. Before William Burrows, J.P., Willaim Hopton Register.
2 CONT Plat given. (SC Deeds, Bk. T-T, p. 85)
2 CONT
2 CONT James Gillespie may have had a brother, "John Galaspee of Savanna
2 CONT Town" in South Carolina before 1730. Abstracts of the Wills of the
2 CONT State of South Carolina, 1670-1740, gives the following information
2 CONT from Will Book 1729-1731, p.150:
2 CONT
2 CONT "John Galaspee, his mark, Indian Trader. Brother: James Galaspee;
2 CONT Sister: Jane Galaspee. Mentions said brother and sister of Colufornia,
2 CONT Ireland; James Macabney of Charles Town, Samuel Eveleigh Jr.; Andrew
2 CONT Allen. Exors: Andrew Allen, James Macabney, William Tennant. Wit: John

2 CONT
2 CONT Shortly after the 1850 census was taken, John and Elizabeth moved to

2 CONT Story of the death of Charles Banks Cobb: (Courtesy of Barbara Rowe)
2 CONT "Charles B. Cobb was at home on sick leave when he was murdered on
2 CONT Feb. 10, 1865. It was said that he first left home going in an
2 CONT easterly direction and buried $6,000 in gold. When he returned home he
2 CONT came from a westerly direction. No one ever knew where he hid the
2 CONT gold. It is said that afterwards family members dug every place that
2 CONT it could have been buried, but it was never found.
2 CONT
2 CONT He had a trap door under  a rug in the kitchen of his home and when
2 CONT the murderers came looking for him he tried to escape but they got
2 CONT him. It is said that a group of night riders (the Blackwell Crowd)
2 CONT which is said to have included his brother Jim Cobb, came to the
2 CONT house. They took Charles out to a apple tree and hung him and shot
2 CONT him. When the men caught Charles it is said that his brother Jim said
2 CONT "let him see who is doing this" and they raised their hoods to let him
2 CONT see. It is said that when Charles' body was found it had some scraps
2 CONT from a new dress that one of Jim's daughter had made. The scrap was
2 CONT used as wadding to hold the powder and lead in the gun.

1 NOTE It is possible that Lavinia Perminter was the mother of Rebecca
2 CONT Underwood Cobb.  Rebecca was born in 1839. Alexander had an illegal
2 CONT intimacy with Mrs. Vina (Louvinia?) Perminter that made court
2 CONT records in August, 1844.   Why would Alexander adopt Rebecca if she
2 CONT were not his child.  Alexander's mother was named Rebecca so it would
2 CONT stand to reason that he would name a child after her.  None of his
2 CONT other children were named Rebecca.
