Notes for JOHN CULPEPPER:

John Culpepper was born about 1733 in Bertie County, NC.  The area became Edgecombe County in 1741.  John was about 12 when his father Joseph died in 1745.  His mother, Martha Culpepper, was appointed his guardian, since he was under age 14.

John moved to Anson Co. NC with the rest of his family around 1753 or 1754, when he was about 20 years old.   The Culpeppers appeared in deed records in Anson as early as July, 1754.  In December 1754, John witnessed a deed from Thomas Harrington to his step- father Benjamin Dumas.   Benjamin was buying 270 acres on the north side of the Great Pee Dee River (Anson Co., NC Deed Bk. B, p. 409). John witnessed several other deeds in the 1750's, but did not purchase land himself until 1763, when he was about 30 years old.  In January 1763, John Brooks sold him 100 acres on Richardson's Creek, on

the south side of Rocky River (Anson Co. Deed Bk. 3, p. 9). John Culpepper sold this land to William Brooks two years later at a steep profit (Anson Co. Deed Bk. 3, p. 239).  Meanwhile, in January 1765,

John bought 200 acres from John Colson. This new tract was on Brown Creek on the south side of the Pee Dee (Deed Bk. 3, p. 173). In March 1767, John was granted 100 acres on Rocky River (Anson Deed Bk 7, p.120).  He sold this tract about twelve years later, in December 1778, to Jacob Green.  In October 1783, John was granted 150 acres on the south side of Rocky River and the south side of Richardson's Creek (NC Grant #556).

John served in the Revolutionary War as captain of "John Culpepper's Company, Colonel David Love's Regiment, North Carolina Troops" (see Georgia Pensioners, p.186, pension application of John Arnett, who served in this company from Anson County).  John was in his late 40's during the Revolutionary War.  He had been captain of a militia group in Anson County since at least 1770 ("Colonial Soldiers of the South").  See also "North Carolina Revolutionary Army Accounts Secretary of State, Treasurer's & Comptroller's Papers, Vol. V, Vol. VI, Part IV," by Weynette Parks Haun, Durham, NC, 1992.

John moved to Georgia after the Revolutionary War, and lived in Washington County, which had been formed in February 1784 from the Creek cession of November 1783.  It is not clear whether John, or his son, John, Jr. who was born about 1766, was the first to move to Washington County, GA.  One or perhaps both of them were there by 1786, if not earlier. There are also early records in Wilkes County, GA, for John Culpepper. John Culpepper witnessed four deeds in Wilkes County in 1785. These records may refer to John, son of Sampson, who was aged 20 in 1785. In September 1790 John Culpepper, Sr. bought 225 acres on Clark's Creek from Elijah Clarke (Wilkes Co., GA Deed Bk HH-105). This was clearly the elder John, son of Joseph, but it is not certain that he ever resided on this land, which he sold a few years later from Washington County.  John Culpepper was also a juror in Wilkes County in 1790, and this must be John the son of Joseph, since his nephew John had returned to North Carolina at least by 1788, the year of his marriage in NC.

     Getting back to Washington County,  a John Culpepper took out a warrant for land in Washington County in April, 1786, for 200 acres, which was adjoining John Culpepper in Washington County (Washington Co. GA Surveyor's Records, Books D-E, p.258).  This may conflict with the records of the Surveyor General's Office of the GA. Dept. of Archives and History, which records a grant to John Culpepper, Jr, dated 24 May 1786, and registered 31 May 1786, for 200 acres in Washington County bounded on all sides by vacant land (Register of Grants Bk. KKK, p. 157.)  If the first record is correct, then John Culpepper Jr. was granted land adjacent to his father's land.  If the second record is correct, then John Culpepper, Jr. was probably the first in his family to move to Washington County, and was followed there by his father John.  In the following records, it is not always clear whether John Culpepper, Sr., or his son, John, Jr., was the recipient of the grants.  John Sr. was aged 53 in 1786, and John Jr. was about 20.

     In any case, John Culpepper (probably Sr.) was a Justice of the Peace in Washington County in 1786 (from the Card File at the Georgia Archives). The next grant to a John Culpepper in Washington County was dated 26 April 1787 and registered 7 May 1787.  This was for 200 acres bounded on the east by Thompson, on the south by Williamson's Swamp (Reg. of Grants Bk. NNN, p. 282). John got an additional 200 acre grant on the same date, and registered the same date, bounded on the north by Williamson's Swamp, and on the east by Curaton's land (Grants NNN, p. 339). On 24 September 1788 (registered 25 September 1788) John Culpepper was granted another 200 acres, bounded on the east by Sampson Culpepper, and John Culpepper's land (Grants QQQ, p. 444). From an 1839 deed in Laurens County, GA we know this land later fell in Laurens County on Buckeye Creek (Laurens Co. GA Deed Bk L, p. 303). It was inherited by John's son David Culpepper, and his grandson, David Sneads Culpepper. On 30 Jul 1791 (registered 1 Aug 1791), Sampson Culpepper was granted 200 acres in Washington Co. bounded on the northeast by his brother John Culpepper (Grants UUU, p. 596.) On 9 April 1792 (registered 11 April 1792), John Culpepper was granted 350 acres in Washington County, bounded on the northeast by Fort's land and Thomas Gilbert's land, and on the south by John Culpepper's land (Grants VVV, p. 391).  This was probably the grant mentioned in a June 1808 deed in Laurens County, GA, in which John Culpepper (Jr.?)  sells 269 acres of a "June 1792 grant to John Culpepper on Buckeye Creek in Washington County"  (Laurens Co. GA Deed Bk E, p.63) In January 1797, John was a resident of Washington County when he sold his remaining land in Anson County, NC (Anson Co. Deed Bk 17, p.145).  This was the 150 acres in Anson County that John was granted in 1783, shortly before he moved to Georgia. This proves that the John Culpepper in early Anson was the one who moved to Washington Co. GA. He was also residing in Washington County in November 1799, when he sold his land in Wilkes County to John Hogan  (Wilkes Co., GA Deed Bk SS-85).

        John and others in his family were in Washington County in 1803, when they registered for the 1805 Georgia Land Lottery.  The 1805 and 1807 Land Lotteries distributed land in the original Baldwin and Wilkinson Counties GA, from the Creek cessions of 1802 and 1805. These two counties were soon broken up into many smaller counties.  Jones County was created from part of Baldwin in December 1807.  By 1808 John Culpepper, now about 75 years old, had moved into this newly opened territory, perhaps to live his last years with a son or daughter.  In March 1808, John Culpepper, of Baldwin County, gave all his real and personal property to his children Sampson, John, Aggy, and Polly (Jones Co., GA Deed Bk A-435).  In June 1808, a John Culpepper of Jones County sold 269 acres in Washington County to Dennis Williams.   This was perhaps John Culpepper, Jr., selling his share of his father's land, or his own land, prior to his departure for Mississippi in 1810 (See Passports Issued by the Governor of GA). This was part of a June 1792 grant on Buckeye Creek to John Culpepper (Laurens Co., GA Deed Bk E-63).  Latter deeds in Laurens County show children of John's sons David and Henry also selling parts of John's original grants in Washington County.  John had given his sons David and Henry their shares prior to his March 1808 deed in Jones County. John Culpepper probably died in Jones County at the home of one of his children at the age of 75, not long after his 1808 deed.

Notes for HENRY CULPEPPER:

Henry Culpepper was born in 1781, probably in Anson County, NC. John Culpepper, believed by this writer to be his father, moved from Anson County, NC, to Washington County, GA, perhaps as early as 1786. Henry grew up in Washington County.

     He married his wife Edith there around 1802.  He was about 21years old and she was about 16.  Edith's maiden name is not known, but she was probably the daughter of a nearby landowner, perhaps named Smith or Allen, since these were middle names she used for her sons. Smith seems most likely, as there are several Culpepper and Smith connections going back to Anson County, NC.

     Henry's father John probably gave him a good bit of land about the time of his marriage, and he seems to have purchased additional land there as well.  But Washington County records prior to 1852 are lost.

     In December 1811, the area in Washington County where Henry lived, on Big Creek, which flows into the Oconee River, became part of Laurens County.  By then Henry was 30 years old and was an established and successful planter.  Laurens County deed records give no indication that he purchased additional land in the newly formed county.

     In February 1812 Henry was appointed overseer on the road from Beaty Ferry to Sandersville.  He was also named on the committee to apportion work on the roads east of the Oconee River.  This is another indication that Henry was someone of prominence in the section of Laurens County east of the Oconee River (formerly Washington County).

     In November 1818, Henry Culpepper sold 300 acres in Laurens County to Sampson Culpepper of Jackson County, GA.   The land was an original grant to John Reeves and Reuben Wilkinson in January 1799, in Washington County, GA.  Witnesses were Thomas O'Neal (perhaps a relative of Henry's first cousin Eleanor Culpepper, daughter of Sampson Culpepper, who married William O'Neal about 1799), and David Culpepper, thought to be Henry's brother.  Henry named a son David in 1811.

     Henry was in the 1820 census of Laurens County, living near Sampson Culpepper, Jr., son of John and Aggy Culpepper.  (Sampson's widow Martha sold her 200 acres on "Big Creek, Buckeye Creek" in 1828).  Henry and Sampson were probably brothers.  David and Elijah Culpepper were also in the 1820 Laurens County census, living nearby, and were probably Henry's brothers as well.  By 1820 Henry and Edith had four daughters and three sons, ranging in age from one year old to sixteen years old.  A final daughter was born in December 1821.

     Henry was only 40 years old when he died in January 1822.  No obituary has been found, so the circumstances of his death are unknown. The inventory of his estate lists nine slaves, indicating once again that he was a prosperous planter.  Davis Smith, perhaps his wife's brother, was appointed administrator of his estate. Among the buyers at Henry's estate were his brother David Culpepper, Martha Culpepper, probably the widow of Henry's brother Sampson (Henry had a daughter Martha, but she was only aged fourteen), John Smith Culpepper (Henry's sixteen year old son), Davis Smith, Hughs Smith, James Hogan, and other relatives, including Henry's nephew Benjamin Culpepper, son of David Culpepper, and James Hightower, who had married Henry's eldest daughter Sarah in 1821.

     Edith Culpepper was appointed guardian of her minor children in 1830, with Russel Kellam and Jonathan Parker as securities.  Russel Kellam was probably a kinsman of Seth F. Kellam, who married Mary Culpepper, daughter of Henry's brother David Culpepper.  In 1831, Russel Kellam and David Culpepper, Henry's brother, were among those appointed to divide the Henry Culpepper estate.

     In October 1839, the heirs of Henry Culpepper sold the 150 acres where Henry's widow Edith Culpepper had lived (apparently she was just then deceased) to W. L. Mason. (Laurens County Deed Bk. K-325).   This may have been land originally granted to John Culpepper in Washington County.

     That Henry Culpepper was the son of John and Agnes or Aggy Culpepper is not proven, but this writer feels that Henry's associations with John's known children, David & Sampson, and his close physical proximity to them, makes it almost certain that he was John's son.  David and Sampson Culpepper were mentioned as sons of John Culpepper in an 1808 deed recorded in Jones County, GA (see the report on John Culpepper). Also, records associate Henry Culpepper with the Smith family, which has other connections with this branch of the Culpeppers.  And Henry Culpepper was also associated with the Hogan family.  Henry's daughter Martha married Uriah Griffin Bonaparte Hogan, grandson of Griffin Hogan, son of James Hogan.  Henry's brother David married Elizabeth Hogan, daughter of Griffin Hogan.  And this Hogan family was closely related to the Smith family in Anson County, NC as well.

is listed here as a possibility.  Further research is needed.

Notes for CHADWELL CULPEPPER:

After David Culpepper's death in 1832 his sons and their families moved southwest, across the Ocmulgee River, down into the 10th District of southwestern Dooly (now Crisp) County, settling between Daphne and Raines.

The Culpeppers were among the first settlers in the area opened after the Seminole War of 1817-1818 and the Treaty of Indian Springs signed in 1821. Relations with the native Creek tribes, allies during the Seminole strife, were increasingly strained with each new settler. The Indians were first moved west of the Flint River across from the white settlement of Pindertown, southwest of Warwick, to the site of an ancient Indian village. The friction continued, however, and, in 1835, when the white schoolteacher at Arabi was shot and killed by Creeks, local militia were called out for a series of punitive raids called the "Creek War." The last of the Chiahas and other Lower Creek tribes were expelled, leaving for Oklahoma in 1838. Violence in the Culpeppers new home gradually subsided after the Creek expulsion and the frontier moved west.

 

Chadwell Culpepper farmed 275 acres without slaves, helped as late as 1850 by his son David.
