Thanks, Jim,

That Essex baptismal record is important because it names the previously unidentified parents of John Culpeper of co. Essex:
"John, the sonne of Henry and Alice Culpepper was baptized December 23th (1645)"
....
We can assume from the baptismal record that John's father, Henry, was probably born between 1605 and 1625.

The American Culpepper progenitor, Henry Culpeper of Lower Norfolk Co., VA, is shown in our records as "born say 1633, probably in England". I see nothing that would disqualify Henry of Lower Norfolk as a candidate for being the father of John of Essex. I see no other Henry Culpepers that I can't rule out for one reason or another. Also, it is probably worth revisiting whether John of Essex might be the same as one of the plethora of John Culpeppers in our family tree who were born in the 1630-1650 period. About 17 years ago, Bill Russell did a lot work trying to sort these Johns out. I subsequently edited his work, and the edited version appears at:
