DNA* | | From DNA and genealogical evidence we conclude that William Francis Culpeper of Barbados is a member of the International branch whose most recent common ancestor is either William Culpeper of Hunton and Wigsell, or the Rev. William Culpeper of Barbados. |
Name-AltSpell | | This surname is sometimes spelled Culpepper. |
Birth* | say 1758 | William was born say 1758. |
Marriage* | 6 November 1781 | He married Mercy Alleyne Culpeper of Barbados at Saint John, Barbados, on 6 November 1781.2,3 |
Marriage* | after 25 June 1785 | He married Susanna (?) of Barbados after 25 June 1785. |
Marriage* | 2 April 1799 | He married Catharine Ann Haynes of Barbados at Saint Joseph, Barbados, on 2 April 1799.2,3 |
Death* | 1817 | He died in 1817.1 |
Biography* | | Ob. intest. William Francis Culpeper appears to have had three wives: Mercy Alleyne Culpeper (his first cousin), Susanna ___ and Catharine (Christian?) Ann "Kitty" Haynes. However, since there were several William Francis Culpepers, it is possible that one of these wives has been assigned the wrong husband. There are two consecutive entries on April 21, 1792 for baptisms at St. Joseph Parish. The first is for "Mary Molony, dau of Willm: Frans: & Susanna Culpeper". The second is for "Mercy, dau of Wm: Frans: & Lucy Alleyne Culpeper". If Lucy Alleyne really existed, that would be a fourth wife. The marriages and descendancy shown within this database is constructed on the following speculative assumptions: (1) That Lucy Alleyne was really Mercy Alleyne (the writer has not yet seen the source documents, but only documents compiled from them). (2) By the time of this baptism, Mercy Alleyne had died, perhaps in child birth when daughter Mercy was born. (3) William Francis then married Susanna (there is no record of this marriage) and the child Mary Maloney was born of that marriage. (3) William Francis and Susanna then had both daughters baptized at the same time. This theory is consistent with the Culpeper of Barbados pedigree and the Richard Culpeper GEDCOM. (This GEDCOM also shows three additional unnamed children of Wm Francis and Mercy Alleyne) An alternative theory is that the apparent third marriage of William Francis Sr to Christian Ann Haynes was really a marriage between her and William Francis Jr, although he was only 16 years old at the time. |

Biography* | | "Always very hard up, but never a cross word."
From Glen N. Colepeper, regarding why the Culpepers had emigrated from Barbados: "What my father said in this connexion was that (as far as his own lot, at any rate, were concerned)the reason was as follows. The Francis Culpeper (his grandfather)who married Emily Gaskin was apparently quite a wealthy man, but decided to sink all his money into the building of a sugar refinery, since at the time there was no local refinery, and the sugar had to be sent abroad in the form of treacle, or whatever, to be refined. No sooner had he done this than the sugar beet industry started up in Europe, and the bottom fell out of the sugar market. The old man lost all his money as a consequence, and died, so the saying went, 'of a broken heart'; and his children decided that there was no longer a future for them in Barbados, and emigrated, as you know, to places like Canada, Puerto Rico, New Zealand and South Africa. (I offer this story for what it's worth: I don't know how much truth there is in it.)"
Regarding the prosperity of Francis, I was somewhat surprised at the age of those old photos (taken in the 1860's and 1870's. The family was certainly dressed in a way that suggests prosperity. Also, at this time, wouldn't such photos have been expensive to get? Wouldn't that be something that only the more privileged might be able afford? What I'm getting at is that I suspect that Francis came from a well-to-do family and probably enjoyed prosperity in his earlier days. He may have continued to spend that way after he lost it all (I've certainly known people who did that, running up enormous debts, and then finally selling off what ever underlying hard assets--like land--they may have hung on to for as long as possible. Then, perhaps by his middle years, his ability to spend was exhausted and he was broke (the investment in a sugar refinery could have been the last straw), and the Canadian reference about how poor he was could have been made by someone who only knew him from that point forwards. And that is probably the point after which the children almost all fled the island to find greater opportunities elsewhere. So I don't know that the two stories are necessarily in conflict.6,2 |
Research note* | 18 November 2013 | From Mark Layne, Oct 2013:
Re- My great grandfather Francis Culpeper - a few corrections are needed.
The Portrait was painted from a photograph AFTER his death from a sporadic case of yellow fever, by a well know Barbadian artist, Poyer. I own the painting and the photograph.
Glen Culpeper's recollections are approximately correct, except that the sugar plantation was in St Kitts - not Barbados. My grandmother Jessie Vinton is the girl in the right front of the group of six, and my grandfather Francis Ambrose Layne travelled to St Kitts and they were married in St Pauls Anglican church. In those days Armel Henry Pollard Culpeper was established as headmaster at the school in Anguilla and there was also a Reverend George Culpeper (whom I have so far not identified) shuttling about between St Kitts and Anguilla. St Kitts then was second only to Barbados in Britishness.
After the failure of the sugar plantation (named Foyes) The family returned to Barbados and lived with his mother Martha Jane in her house Frankleigh. His brother Alleyne on the other hand was an extremely wealthy Attorney. I have met a man in St Kitts who tells me he can show me the remains of Foyes boiling house in St Pauls Parish. George Kopper was his main helper on the plantation.
The reference to travel to Philadelphia was a trip organized by Emily Rebecca's father Ben Gaskin for whatever reason. None stayed in US from that trip.
John Cumming should read Cummins. Died Barbados 1923-run over by a tram. My grandmother was inconsolable as he was the only one of her siblings remaining in Barbados.
We had a great visit with Vivien Culpeper in Barbados last year- she thought Culpeper Island was a little bigger, but she appreciated seeing Francis's and Emily Rebecca's gravesite.6 |

Annie Emily Rowe of England and South Africa1,2
F, (1855 - 1946)
Birth* | 1855 | Annie was born at Leighton Buzzard, Bedfordshire, England, in 1855.2 |
Marriage* | August 1902 | She married Francis Culpeper of Barbados and South Africa at Cockermouth, co. Cumbria, England, in August 1902.1,2 |
Married Name | August 1902 | As of August 1902, her married name was Culpeper.2 |
Death* | 1946 | She died at Pietermaritzburg, Kwazulu-Natal, South Africa, in 1946.2 |
Biography* | | Ann ran a school in Uplands, Maritzburg, Natal, South Africa.
The following is from Jennifer Southorn, Jan 2002:
Annie Emily Colepeper was born Annie Emily Rowe..., the daughter of The Reverend Samuel Rowe. She was one of the early women graduates at Cambridge University, gaining a 1st Class Honours degree from Newnham College. She taught in England, France and Germany before going out to South Africa in 1885.
She married F.Colepeper, who was Inspector of Schools, presumably in Natal, since his wife was headmistress of The Girls' Collegiate School in Pietermaritzburg from 1885-1893. From 1893-1899 she ran a small school at her father's home in Loop Street, Pietermaritzburg and in 1899 she founded the Uplands High School in Pietermaritzburg.
She died in Pietermaritzburg in 1946 and there was a long article in the paper on her contribution to education. She was also President of the Women's and Children's Protection League in Natal.
She came of a distiguished family. One of her brothers was a headmaster of Tonbridge School, another a professor at Calcutta University.
Her connection with my husband's family is that she was aunt to his grandmother Margaret Ethel Lister (née Rowe), who was the daughter of Annie Emily's brother, The Reverend Samuel Evans Rowe.
On 9 Apr 2003, Jennfier Southorn added: "I am wondering if Ann Emily Rowe was at Newnham College Cambridge before degrees were awarded to women. I have a record of her being awarded 1st Class Honours in the Cambridge Higher Locals, suggesting that this might have been an alternative qualification awarded to women in the early days."2 |
