Thomas Culpepper

M, (circa 1770 - 1841)
FatherDaniel Culpepper of Norfolk Co., VA (s 1732 - bt 1775 - 1778)
MotherMary (?) (s 1736 - )
DNA* Thomas has been proven by DNA and genealogical research to be a descendant of Robert Culpepper, Jr., who is a son of Robert Culpepper of Lower Norfolk, VA. 
Birth*circa 1770 Thomas was born at Norfolk Co., Virginia, circa 1770. 
(Heir) Will23 April 1775 Daniel, Robert, William, Sarah and Thomas named as heir(s) at Norfolk Co., Virginia, on 23 April 1775.1 
(surety) Marriage18 March 1791 He was the surety in the marriage of Sarah Culpepper to Caleb Hughes at Norfolk Co., Virginia, on 18 March 1791, affirming that there was no moral or legal reason why the couple could not be married.2 
Marriage*15 September 1800 He married Elizabeth Brown at Norfolk Co., Virginia, on 15 September 1800. Rev. Arthur Emmerson II, as minister, performed the marriage.3 
War of 1812*between 1813 and 1814 He served in the War of 1812 between 1813 and 1814
(7th Regiment (Magnien's), Virginia Militia.)4,5 
Marriage*say 1820 He married Nancy (?) at Norfolk Co., Virginia, say 1820. 
1820 Census*7 August 1820 Thomas was listed as the head of a family on the 1820 Census at Norfolk Co., Virginia. Enumerated in census but otherwise not identified is 1 M10-16. This census record had only a surname of Culpepper and no given name. It has been assigned to Thomas because of the high degree of match..6 
1830 Census*1 June 1830 He was enumerated in the US Census of 1830 on 1 June 1830 at Julians Creek, Norfolk Co., Virginia. Enumerated in the census but otherwise not identified are 1 F10-15 and 5 slaves..7 
Death*1841 He died at Norfolk Co., Virginia, in 1841.8 
Research note*1 June 2004 That this Thomas was the son of Daniel seems likely, based on geography, naming conventions, etc. Since Thomas inherited land from his father Daniel, perhaps a study of Norfolk deeds would provide the final proof needed to connect Thomas to his father Daniel.

Joseph P. Culpepper1

M, (circa 1782 - after 1830)
FatherSampson Culpepper of Norfolk Co., VA (c 1736 - a 28 Mar 1793)
MotherWife of Sampson (?) (?) (s 1750 - )
DNA* Joseph has been proven by DNA and genealogical research to be a descendant of Robert Culpepper, Jr., who is a son of Robert Culpepper of Lower Norfolk, VA. 
Birth*circa 1782 Joseph was born at Norfolk Co., Virginia, circa 1782.2 
(Enumerated) Census1782 He was/were probably enumerated in the census report at Norfolk Co., Virginia, in 1782. (Enumerated in the census but otherwise unaccounted for was 1 White..)3 
Milit-Beg*1807 He began military service in 1807 at Virginia.4 
Marriage*5 September 1807 He married Ann Spady at Norfolk Co., Virginia, on 5 September 1807.5 
Marriage*13 May 1815 He married Margaret Willoughby at Norfolk Co., Virginia, on 13 May 1815.6 
1820 Census*7 August 1820 Joseph was listed as the head of a family on the 1820 Census at Norfolk Co., Virginia.7 
(free wh male 40-50) 1830 Census1 June 1830 Joseph was probably a free white male, age 30 and under 40, in Margaret Willoughby's household, on the 1830 Census at Norfolk Co., Virginia. Enumerated in the census but otherwise not identified are 2 F0-5, 1 F10-15..8 
Death*after 1830 He died at Norfolk Co., Virginia, after 1830. 
Biography* Joseph was engaged in manufacturing, according to the 1820 census. He does not seem to have owned any land. By 1830 he seems to have been incapacitated, as his wife Margaret was listed as the head of household, even though he was apparently still living there. 
Research note* Joseph's ancestry is unproven, but DNA testing of Joseph's descendants reveals that they are descendants of Robert Culpepper Jr. Robert had nine sons, and of them, the most likely father of Jospeh P. Culpeppern is Sampson Culpepper. Robert Jr's sons William and James are ruled out because each of their descendants have unique DNA signatures.

Joseph has 162 known descendants. [L. W. G. 27 Apr 2004]
