Joseph Culpepper of Norfolk Co., VA

M, (circa 1751 - circa 1796)

Father

Robert Culpepper Jr. of Lower Norfolk Co., VA (s 1694 - b Oct 1774)

Mother

Dorcas (?) (s 1700 - )

Birth*

circa 1751

Joseph was born at Norfolk Co., Virginia, circa 1751.

Tithable*

10 June 1767

He was included in a list of Tithables taken on 10 June 1767 at Southside of Western Branch, Norfolk Co., Virginia.¹

Tithable*

10 June 1768

He and Benjamin Culpepper were included in a list of Tithables taken on 10 June 1768 at Southside of Western Branch, Norfolk Co., Virginia.¹

Tithable

10 June 1769

He and Benjamin Culpepper were included in a list of Tithables taken on 10 June 1769 at West side of Western Branch, Portsmouth Parish, Norfolk Co., Virginia.¹

Tithable

10 June 1771

He was included in a list of Tithables taken on 10 June 1771 at Western Branch District, Norfolk Co., Virginia.¹

(Additional Name) Tithable

15 June 1780

He listed in Tithables taken on 15 June 1780 at Southside of Western Branch, Norfolk Co., Virginia,

"From Portsmouth to Hall's Mill... John Culpepper, Joseph Culpepper, and Benjamin Culpepper," (three households), each with one tithe. Benjamin was now about 28 years old, and this is the last reference to him in Norfolk Tithe records.¹

Research note

Joseph Culpepper of Norfolk Co., VA seems to be one of the most likely candidates to have been the father of brothers Lemuel and Stephen Culpepper. In any case, the names Lemuel and Stephen must have come from his wife's side of the family, since they were not Culpepper family names. And his wife must have been from one of the nearby families living on the Western Branch of the Elizabeth River. Stephen and Lemuel were both family names in the Hodges family, for instance. Stephen Makins took the inventory of Joseph's estate and may have been his brother-in-law. The name Lemuel was used in the early Bruce, Etheridge, Portlock, Veale, and Willoughby families, just to mention a few. Wills in these and other early Norfolk families should be checked, to see if the name of Joseph's wife can be determined. Her father might possibly have left a bequest to his grandsons Lemuel and Stephen in his will. DNA test results of descendants of Lemuel and Stephen also indicate that they descend from Robert Culpepper Jr. of Lower Norfolk Co., VA, the father of Joseph.^2,3

Death*

circa 1796

He died at Norfolk Co., Virginia, circa 1796.⁸

Probate*

2 March 1799

Probate action was taken on Joseph's estate, with Zachariah Owens appraising on 2 March 1799 at Norfolk Co., Virginia,

Joseph must have died intestate before March 1799, as an inventory of his estate was made that year in Norfolk County. Zachariah Owens, Zachariah Nichols, and Stephen Makins were appraisers of Joseph's estate. He would have been about 47 years old.⁹

(Previous Owner) Deed

2 April 1799

He was a previous owner in the deed granted to Sophia Culpepper, Robert Culpepper of Portsmouth, VA and David Culpepper of Norfolk Co., VA on 2 April 1799

2 Apr 1799 -- Deed Bk 37, p 220. Martha Mackie, executrix of Andrew Mackie of Isle of Wight Co, VA, to Robert (Rachel?) Culpepper, David Culpepper, and Sophia his wife, and Joseph Etheridge, Moses Etheridge, and Sarah Etheridge, who are infants of Norfolk Co.

Father

Henry Culpepper Jr. of Norfolk Co., VA (s 1669 - 1699)

Mother

Mary Richardson (s 1675 - a 1724)

DNA*

Henry has been proven by DNA and genealogical research to be a descendant of Henry Culpepper of Lower Norfolk, VA, the American Culpepper progenitor.

Name-AltSpell

This surname is sometimes spelled Culpeper.

(1) Will

25 July 1698

He is most likely "the child my wife goes with" mentioned in the will of his father, Henry Culpepper Jr. of Norfolk Co., VA at Norfolk Co., Virginia, on 25 July 1698.¹

Birth*

say 1699

Henry was born at Norfolk Co., Virginia, say 1699.

(1) Will

4 January 1709

He was only nine years old, and so was not the Henry Culpeper whose land was mentioned in the will of John Creekmore at Norfolk Co., Virginia, on 4 January 1709. That Henry was his deceased father, Henry, Jr., to whom Creekmore sold land in 1798.
Deed Bk 9, p 80. Will of John Creekmore dated 4 Jan 1708/9 and proved 17 Aug 1711 by Emanuel Burgis. Various bequests including: "Unto my son John Creekmur Jr 50 acres of land lying between Richard Hodges and Henry Culpepper called by name of Horse Point...."
Note that deeds often mentioned deceased individuals as adjacent land owners, as the description of the land was just copied from earlier records. Henry, Jr., had willed his Creekmore land to his son Thomas Culpepper, and Thomas was only about 13 or 14 years old at the time of John Creekmore's death and this reference to Henry's land in Creekmore's will.

(Witness) Will

10 November 1716

He witnessed the signing of the will of Thomas Richardson, his grandfather, on 10 November 1716 at Norfolk Co., Virginia.
Although age 17 may seem like a young age for someone to be witnessing a will, there are other proven cases of men this young witnessing deeds and wills.
It is important to note not only that Henry III signed with a mark, but also, that his mark was distinct from that of his father, Henry, Jr., and his grandfather, Henry. This mark is a block lettered "HC." The marks with which they signed documents helps distinguish the three early Henrys from each other.²

(Prover) Probate

29 March 1719

He authenticated the validity of the will of Thomas Richardson. On 29 March 1719 at Norfolk Co., Virginia.

Deed*

18 December 1719

Biography*

He appears adjacent to his first cousin Robert Culpepper Jr. of Lower Norfolk Co., VA in the Western Branch Pct. tithables for 1730-1733 and disappears from records thereafter. No estate or probate record for him as been found. Mary J. Culpepper, thought to be his widow, shows up in the next available Norfolk Tithable records in 1750, connected to Henry Culpepper IV of Currituck Co.

Death*

after 1724

She died at Norfolk Co., Virginia, after 1724.

Biography*

Evidence that Henry Culpepper's wife was named Mary is based on two sources. One is the will of Henry's father-in-law, Thomas Richardson, which mentions several daughters including one named Mary: "unto my five daughters Marey Frances Margarett Ruith and Sarah one Shilling a peace and to ye heirs of my daughter Elizabeth one Shilling." (Norfolk Wills, proven March 1718/19). This shows that Thomas Richardson had a daughter named Mary.

The second source is a deed transcript found in the book "Derivation of the Herbert Family," by Alice G. Walter. This deed transcript, dated 1699, of Willoughby to Herbert, is witnessed by William Maund and Mary (her "M" mark) Culpepper. At this early date, the only Mary Culpepper who would have been living in Norfolk County would have been Mary Richardson, wife of Henry Culpepper.

That she was a Richardson is proven by Henry's 1699 will.

The following deed shows that Mary was still living as late as 1724:
24 Feb 1724 -- Deed Bk F, p 132. Thomas Culpepper, cooper, and Ann his wife, to Henry Culpepper, cooper, for £25, 100 acres of the South side of Deep Creek, South Branch of the Elizabeth River.
