Relocation

circa 1847

He, accompanied by family member(s) Caroline Culpepper, Amanda E. Culpepper, John Gardner Culpepper and William Henry Culpepper, relocated circa 1847 at Lee Co., Georgia, Historical background explaining the possible rationale for Gardner's move into and out of Lee County:
     In addition to fertile lands around Palmyra, the hammock lands northward along Kinchafooa and Muckalee Creeks were found to be rich. With increasing settlement and cultivation the pine high lands, on both sides of the territory drained by the Kinchafoona, Muckaloochee, and Muckalee Creeks, were found to be also almost equal to the hummocks in fertility. The soil of the county came to be considered as mostly fertile. Only the western part, having a reddish, thirsty, sandy soil, and a belt along the Flint River in the eastern part were found to be of inferior quality.
     Prospects of ready transportation by railroad through Macon and by steamboat from Albany to cotton markets throughout the world caused rapid transfer of the cotton-planting interests from the upper counties to Lee. Although the first steamboat reached Albany in 1837, the river was not used for much commercial navigation until after 1847 with the elimination of the worst shoal on the Flint River between Albany and Apalachicola. In 1848, the proposed railroad from Macon through Lee County to Albany had been legalized by sufficient subscriptions, including some from Lee County. The newspapers, the Southwestern Georgian (later the Albany Courier), founded in 1841, and the Albany Patriot, founded in 1845, also had some influence in publicizing the section for settlers." The June 30, 1847, issue of the Patriot had the following items:
     "We were shown on Monday last, two stalks of cotton from the plantation of Mr. Robert Thompson, of Lee County. One stalk was of the Grand Gulf Cotton... about six feet high, and had some eight or ten full grown bolls on it. We were assured that there were several bolls opened in the field from which this was taken. The other stalk was nearly six feet high, and had on it upwards of one hundred bolls and forms. It was not quite so forward on the other stalk. There is said to be two hundred acres of cotton on the same plantation as good as these specimens..."
     With such inducements large numbers of settlers came in from Liberty, Burk, Baldwin, and Putnam Counties. Rich plantations of hammock land grew up along the Kinchafoona and Muckalee Creeks. By 1849, the distribution of cultivated farming lands was shown by agricultural settlements to the north of Palmyra: Cotton Bluff (probably so named as a collection point for shipping cotton to Albany), Starkville with new settlers, Oceola and Chenuba, to the northwest, and Sumterville, to the northeast.
     Despite the transfer of a strip of this county's lands to Dooly County in 1842, population increased from 2,370 white and 2,706 black in 1840 to 3,025 white and 3,634 black, including 7 free black, in 1850. The white population was the largest the county has ever had. There were 387 farms, averaging seven whites with nine slaves to the farm, and 550 dwellings. Since the county contained 506 square miles or 323,841 acres, the landholdings in and adjacent to each farm average 837 acres. The major portion of the land was the unpeopled pine and swampy land surrounding the plantations. Real estate in the county had a tax valuation of $l,148,224, and an average sale value of $10 per acre. Personal estates, largely slaves, were valued at $2,207,702. Since there were 3,626 slaves, the average value per slave was about $600. The ordinary crop of a county planter was 100 to 2,000 bales of cotton. Average yield of the land per acre was 800 pounds of cotton, 20 bushels of corn, and 10 bushels of wheat. Little attention was paid to orchards.
     The history of farming in Lee County was probably similar to that generally of the cotton belt in southwestern Georgia. There was an influx of small farmers interested in growing cotton. Some chanced upon rich lands, others upon poor; some were near navigation, others were far; some were expert, vigorous, frugal and farsighted, others were slack, spendthrift or merely perhaps unlucky. Profits from efficiency and good fortune enabled some to buy slaves and then to buy neighboring lands and attain eventually the scale and rank of planters. For their added lands they, raid prices acceptable to those who heard the loud call of the West; but they could force no man to sell who was not so minded. There were several farmers to every planter, throughout the best cotton zone, each producing cotton in sturdy competition with his neighbor, great or small. "Divergencies were of continuous gradation from the wealthy to paupers." In the last instance only does Lee County differ. There is little record of poverty among the white people in Lee County before the War.
     Lee County's comparative wealth was due to early climatic conditions. The swampy lands interspersed in the county and the drinking water produced fevers among white people. The blacks, however, were immune to the fevers and thrived in the semi-tropical climate. The large white population of 1850 dwindled. Many sold their lands to those who had the financial resources to consolidate the lands into large plantations and to buy slaves to work them. Many of the owners lived away from their plantations, in Starkville, Palmyra, and in cities outside the county, such as Albany, Americus, and Macon. Agriculture was the county's only source of income, and slaves did this work. There were no possible opportunities to induce poor people to remain. By 1860, the white poulation was only 2,242, but the black had increased to 4,954..¹⁰

Biography*

From "The Story of Georgia", page 122: "Caroline, a native of Ireland, came to New Jersey with her family as a small girl. The family later settled in Warrington (Warrenton, Warren Co.), GA where she was wed." (Warren Culpepper comment: Even though I've included this quotation, I don't believe it except for the Warrenton part. There is no suppporting evidence for the Ireland or New Jersey heritage, and she appears to have been born in GA and her father born in GA or VA)

On 19 Apr 1833, the estate of Nathan Culpepper, Caroline's father-in-law, was appraised by Elijah Jones, Seaborn Jones, Henry Harris and John Veasey. (Caroline had a brother named Seaborn Jones.)

      "The next is where Mr. Elisha Culpepper, one of our oldest and best citizens, lived. His house was blown down, he was killed on the spot, and his daughter-in-law and wife were badly wounded. All of this place is a wreck. The storm seems to have been more terrific here than at any place this side of Mount Airy.

      "Elisha Culpepper was noted for his 'strict integrity of character. He was a strict member of the Baptist Church.' At the time of his death, the Culpepper farm consisted of 283 acres of land, appraised August 29, 1876 at $1, 132."

Biography*

Erasmus Culpepper, III, the only son of Erasmus and Nancy Culpepper, was born in Nash County, NC on March 1, 1817. He came to Alabama with his parents and siblings as a young boy. He married in Wilcox County on Sept. 12, 1787 to Rebecca Jane Southall, a daughter of John Southall. She was born in Warren County, NC on July 1, 1823 and came to Alabama with her family in the 1840's. The Southall family is another large southern family with old connections back to England. It is about this time in the Lower Peach Tree area, that you will find much intermarriage with the Culpepper, Southall, Overton, and Davis families. It is quite a feat to keep it all straight!
     Erasmus and Rebecca Jane were living close to her parents in the 1850 census of Wilcox County, but by 1860, they were not. The size of their estate and holdings in 1860 could indicate that they moved to the Culpepper plantation after his father's death in 1855, and took sole possession after his mother's death in 1859. Pictures of the family throughout the 1870s and 1880s show us a prosperous farming family. Erasmus Culpepper died Aug. 3, 1880 and Rebecca Jane died on March 5, 1905. Both are buried with several of their children in the Lower Peach Tree Cemetery.
     The family was Methodist and it has been determined that the wedding of their daughter, Estelle, on 11-10-1885, may have been one of the first performed in the Lower Peach Tree Methodist Church!
     The Culpepper-Davis house was just west of Lower Peach Tree, Alabama. It is believed to have been built by Erasmus Culpepper III as the family's second residence. His father, Erasmus II migrated first to Clarke County, but by 1850, had settled more permanently in Wilcox County in the Culpepper, AL area. Erasmus died in 1855 and his wife, Nancy, soon after in 1859. Their son, Erasmus, married by this time to Rebecca Jane, had started a family. The Culpepper-Davis house dates back to the Civil War and it was more than likely built by this young Culpepper family.
     Some wonder why the Culpepper family, with their wealth, did not have a more impressive home, possibly in the style of other southern mansions. The Culpeppers were farmers and Methodists so a certain amount of plainness was expected. If the date of its construction is true then the days of southern opulence and grandeur were at an end. The house is of early Alabama folk architecture and typical for its time.
     There were oak trees lining the drive at one time, but only one is left now. East of where the house used to sit is a pond. The outbuildings were torn down over the years, as well as the separate kitchen and a wing off the west side of the house. The house was abandoned in 1935 after the death of Leila Culpepper Davis. It was used for hay storage for many years. Eventually the house and land were sold to Tom and Brownie Williams. The house was sold in 1977 to Jan and Maud Garrick, later dismantled, and some of the lumber was used by the Garricks in their homes and at Lake Waukaway in Mississippi.
     Gerry Garrick shares: "Memories of the old house and our ancestors who lived there are kept alive through some of the boards saved from the old house that we were able to use when we built our home in Birmingham in 1980. We used some of the heart-of-pine wall boards as flooring in our entry hall. We always enjoy telling visitors about the origin of the wood from the old family house in Wilcox County."
     The best picture we have of the CULPEPPER-DAVIS HOUSE was taken in 1965.¹

Biography*

Excerpt from Paris Post-Intelligencer, Dec 1891 (copied from Karen Arthur's website):
     Baalam Culpepper and his wife Temperance, moved into Stewart Co., Tennessee, around 1815. Some of the pioneer families were already there. In fact, some of them had been there since Stewart County was formed in 1803.
Like many other families, the Culpeppers moved across the river into Henry County shortly after the Jackson Purchase, which made it legal for white men to live there. They moved into what later became known as the "Old 23rd" district. Some of the Culpeppers wound up in Benton County because they were living on land that was used to form Benton County in 1836.
     The Culpeppers were in the 'Old 23rd" during the years that family feuds caused a lot of bloodshed, but they never seemed to have been involved in it. By and large, they were industrious, hard-working farmers. They seemed to have believed in the doctrine of "live and let live" and seemed to have always been on friendly terms with everyone.
     When Baalam came to Tennessee he brought an old Water Mill and fixed it up and made a Trading Post by the Big Sandy River. He did that for a living. He purchased it from a Swain.⁸

Research note*

Commentary by Lew Griffin:
     Baalam's parentage has not been conclusively established. But all evidence suggests that he was the son of John Culpepper and Barsheba Wright, of Nash County, NC. For instance, Baalam was a buyer at John's estate sale. And John had a neighbor in Nash County named Baalam, for whom he might have named this son.
     Baalam was in the 1820 census of Stewart County, TN. But he does not appear in any of the published deed records from early Stewart County. Perhaps he did not stay there very long.
     And there are no early marriage records in Stewart County, so if he married there, that record has been lost. The early marriage records in Henry County, TN are also lost.
     It would appear that his first two daughters, Martha Ann and Margaret, were by a currently unknown first wife. For one thing, there is a several year gap between these two early daughters and the rest of Baalam's children. Also, later on, Baalam's daughter Margaret apparently married a younger brother of Baalam's apparent second wife, Tempy.
     But due to loss of records in early Tennessee, this scenario cannot be proven. A second possibility, also worthy of consideration, is that Baalam only had one wife, Tempy Powell, and that she was the mother of all of his children. In this case, the old family tradition that Margaret, wife of Alanson Powell Jr., was Baalam's daughter cannot be correct.
     But given the apparent family tradition that Margaret was a Culpepper, it seems more likely that Baalam had two wives, and that his first two daughters, including Margaret, were by his first and currently unknown wife. This marriage probably took place in Nash County, NC, so perhaps records there will eventually reveal her identity.⁹
