    From Sandi Davis:
    I found the below info for Irvin’s daughter, Mattie #1538, who was twin to Mollie. I believe this establishes the girls' birthdates. Of course, Irving is not the mother’s name as shown here, but is the father. It was apparently inserted in the wrong space on the SS application. If this is Irvin’s daughter, she was not deceased in 1926 as believed by Shannon Barron Lake. I feel the birth date on this Social Security claim is a match for Mattie and Mollie, backed up by the name of the parent.

Mrs. Mariah Culpepper died yesterday morning at 5:50 o'clock at the home of her daughter, Mrs. S C Carden, First Street, Girard of complications of diseases. She is survived by eight daughters and one son who are as follows: Mrs. Mary Porter, Mrs. E L Ramsey, Mrs. Will Wynn, Mrs. T F Stillwell, Mrs. Mandy Ford, Mrs. F W Wynn, Mrs, H E Franklin, Mrs. S C Carden and Mr. M V Culpepper; all of whom reside in Phenix City and Girard. The deceased is very widely known and her friends are numerous. That she was a devout Christian, devoted mother and staunch friend, only adds that of her many other good traits of character. She was a member of the Primitive Church [Union Primitive Baptist Church of Crawford, Russell, Alabama]. She was beloved among all who knew her; to know her was to love her.
The funeral will be conducted this afternoon at 2:00 o'clock by Elder WW Riner, following which internment will be in Godwin Cemetery. The following nieces will act as pallbearers: Mozelle Porter, Sarah Franklin, Minnie Franklin, Mittie Ramsey, Annie Ramsey and Daisy Culpepper.4 
Research note*5 February 2015 From Susan Tompkins:
I am going to do some further checking on the burial location of Mariah Louisa Wall Culpepper. William T A L's Find A Grave shows him buried at Godwin Cemetery. And Mariah's shows her buried at Union Primitive Baptist Church Cemetery in Crawford which is about 20 miles west of Godwin Cemetery. My mother told me they were both buried there in unmarked graves. She would have been taken there and told that by her aunt who raised her. My mother grew up about six blocks from Godwin Cemetery.4

Robert Curtis Culpepper1

M, (27 July 1829 - 7 February 1864)
FatherJames Culpepper Jr., of Darlington, SC (c 1771 - bt 1830 - 1840)
MotherElizabeth (?) (17 Nov 1786 - 4 Oct 1886)
DNA* To help confirm Robert Curtis Culpepper's descent from Henry Culpepper of Lower Norfolk, we are seeking a male Culpepper descendant of Robert's to participate in our free DNA testing project. For more information, go to: http://gen.culpepper.com/dna
Birth*27 July 1829 Robert was born at South Carolina on 27 July 1829.2 
(free wh male 00-05) 1830 Census1 June 1830 Robert was probably a free white male, age under 5, in James Culpepper Jr., of Darlington, SC's houshold, on the 1830 Census at Darlington District, South Carolina. Unaccounted for are 1 M15-20, 1 F5-10, 1 F10-15 and 1 F15-20..3 
(free wh male 10-15) 1840 Census1 June 1840 Robert was probably a free white male, age 10 and under 15, in Elizabeth (?)'s household, on the 1840 Census on 1 June 1840 at Darlington District, South Carolina.
(Unaccounted for are 1 F15-20 and 1 F20-30.)4 
Marriage*2 September 1852 He married Rhoda Tison on 2 September 1852 at age 23.2 
1860 Census*1 June 1860 Robert was listed as the head of a family on the 1860 Census at Schley Co., Georgia.5 
Civil War*circa 1863 Robert Culpepper, of Schley Co, GA, enlisted on 5/10/62 as a private. On 5/10/62 he mustered into Co. B, 46th GA Infantry. He died of disease (diarrhea) on 2/7/64 at Marietta, GA. 
Death*7 February 1864 He died at Marietta, Cobb Co., Georgia, on 7 February 1864 at age 34
From Judy Roberts, granddaughter of Mary Ruth (Culpepper) Chambers:
According to my Grandmother, Robert Curtis is buried outside the fence at Botsford Cemetery (I think it is Old Rural Hill Cemetery) near Plains, GA. There may not be a fence there now and the grave may not be marked.2,6 
Burial*circa 10 February 1864 His body was interred circa 10 February 1864 at Smithville, Lee Co., Georgia. Rubye Jackson Lewis, great granddaughter of Robert Curtis Culpepper and Rhoda Tison Culpepper, wrote on 14 Jun 2005:
     "I thought I should tell you where Robert Curtis Culpepper is buried. I was told often by my grandad Francis Marion Culpepper (Robert Curtis's son, I have a picture of RC) that he was killed in war and the Government sent him back to Smithville, Georgia in a coffin. At that time, there was only a slab shelter (no sides) for a train station, and at 3:00 AM, the conductor and crew put his coffin out under the shed leaving Rhoda there by herself. She started screaming, and some coon hunters came to her rescue. Since she had no one to help her and no way to carry him to a cemetery, she asked them to dig a grave by the railroad tracts and they buried him there. As far as I know or can find out, no one knows where the original shelter was located, so there is no way to know the exact location of his burial place.".1 
Research note*20 February 2007 Robert Culpepper's ancestry is unproven. But this writer thinks that he was the son of James and Elizabeth Culpepper of Darlington District, SC. He is known to have been born in SC, from the 1850 census. And earlier SC censuses show that James and Elizabeth had a son of the right age to have been Robert.

From Judy Roberts, granddaughter of Mary Ruth (Culpepper) Chambers:
Our verbal history is that Robert Curtis' s father was named James and his mother was named Elizabeth.

    In October of 2009 I made a trip to Georgia to see Rubye Lewis, who was there for a church homecoming, and to visit other family and collect more family pictures. I made a special effort to visit the family that has the original picture that was identified by Rubye in all sincerity as Robert Curtis Culpepper, b. 27 Jul 1829, d.7 Feb 1864 in Marietta, GA. I think she said that her mother identified it as Robert Curtis. The family that has the picture told me that they always thought it was Francis Marion Culpepper, Robert Curtis's son. Francis Marion's name, date of birth, date of death and those of his wife are written on the back. When I first got the picture I thought that it looked too modern to be a pre-Civil War picture, but didn't question it. Since then I have had much more experience dating pictures. The clothing and hair style are indeed too modern for the picture to have been taken before the Civil War. It is very similar in styles to of a picture of his brother, John Wesley Culpepper, taken around 1900.

Matthew Nathan Culpepper of Chickasaw Co. MS

M, (1825 - March 1865)
FatherJeremiah Culpepper Jr., of Jackson Co., TX (s 1800 - Aug 1862)
MotherMary Vick (c 1795 - c 1831)
DNA* Matthew has been proven by DNA and genealogical research to be a descendant of Jeremiah Culpepper of Nash Co., NC, and Jeremiah has been proven to be a son of James, a grandson of Robert Culpepper, Jr. and a 2-great-grandson of Henry Culpepper of Lower Norfolk, VA. 
Birth*1825 Matthew was born at North Carolina in 1825.1 
1850 Census*1 June 1850 Matthew was listed as the head of a family on the 1850 Census on 1 June 1850 at Darlington District, South Carolina.2 
Marriage*1855 He married Elizabeth F. Long at Mississippi in 1855. 
1860 Census*1 June 1860 Matthew was listed as the head of a family on the 1860 Census at Chickasaw Co., Mississippi.1 
Civil War*between 1863 and 1865 He served in the War Between the States between 1863 and 1865

     Matthew's Civil War service began in 1863 when he enlisted in Rasey's Brigade, Co. E., of the 48th Mississippi Regiment, and ended with his death in March 1865 in Howard's Grove Hospital, Richmond, VA. 
Death*March 1865 He died at Richmond (city), Virginia, in March 1865. 
Research note*12 June 2004 Matthew Nathan was by himself in the 1850 census in Darlington District, SC, and was listed as age 30, born in NC. Around 1855 he moved to the Coleville area of Chickasaw Co., MS, and about that same time married Elizabeth F. Long, a native of NC.

The 1860 census shows Matthew and Elizabeth with two children, James, aged two, and an unnamed three month old daughter. Also in the household were three older children, Wash, aged 12, born in NC, and George, aged 8, and Gaston, aged 5, both born in MS. These older children may have been visiting relatives, or may have been Matthew's children by a prior marriage. No futher record of them has been found. The only other Gaston Culpepper in the Culpepper family was John Gaston Culpepper, born 1822 in Anson Co, NC, son of Benjamin Culpepper (later of AR) and grandson of the Rev. John Culpepper of Anson, several times a U.S. Congressman.

No record of Matthew's parentage has survived among his descendants. One grandson recalled, however, that Matthew had a sister, Sally, and a brother, James. From the 1850 and 1860 censuses, we know that Matthew was born in NC around 1820-1825, and may have lived there until at least 1848. We have no record of what county Matthew was from in NC. The names "Matthew" and "Nathan" were used in both the Culpepper and other families in Nash Co, NC, so he most likely was from Nash County.

The only Culpeppers in Nash County in 1830 with sons born in the 1820's, if one can rely on the 1830 census, were William (William C. Culpepper) and Jeremiah (Jeremiah Culpepper Jr., of Jackson Co., TX). William's children are known, but Jeremiah Culpepper, Jr. could have been Matthew's father.

The 1830 census shows Jeremiah with two sons born between 1820 and 1825, and the 1840 census shows two sons, one born 1820-1825, and one born 1825-1830. One of these two sons was almost certainly Alexander J. Culpepper. He and Jeremiah both show up in later censuses in Jackson Co, TX. The "J" in Alexander J. could stand for James, so that this could be the brother "James" that Matthew's grandson recalled. The sister Sally the family recalls remains unaccounted for. But the evidence directly supporting Matthew Nathan Culpepper as one of the two sons of Jeremiah Culpepper and Polly Vick is slim. However, DNA testing of a descendant of Matthew proves that Matthew is a descendant of James Culpepper of Nash Co., NC. Note that Jeremiah Jr. is a grandson of James. DNA testing also rules out James Culpepper, Jr. (son of James Sr.) as a father or grandfather, as his descendants carry a unique DNA signature not found in Matthew's descendants.

The name Matthew was used in the family of Henry Culpepper of Darlington, SC, James Jr.'s' brother. And James Jr. did have a son James H. Culpepper, and some daughters who are unaccounted for. So this would explain Matthew Nathan's grandsons' recollection that he had a brother James and a sister Sally.

Given Matthew Nathan's physical presence in Darlington District, SC, in 1850, James most likely was either:
     (a) the son or grandson of Henry Culpepper of Darlington, who was the son of James Culpepper Sr., died 1799, of Nash County, NC, or
     (b) the son of Jeremiah Culpepper, Jr., son of Jeremiah Sr., son of James Sr. It is this later possibility that we have favored in the construction of this family tree.
