Places

	Culpeper Island, Barbados
	Culpeper Mausoleum. "The Mausoleum of the Culpeper family, in a quiet recess on the brink of Hasklestone's Cliff, in the parish of St.John, is a singularly picturesque and commands one of the most beautiful of sea views." (Lawrence-Archer, Monumental Inscriptions of the British West Indies, Lond. Ed., 1875, p. 348)
	Memorial to Elizabeth Culpeper at "Tomb Field", Easy Hall Plantation, Barbados. Elizabeth Pollard Culpeper was the wife of Abel Alleyne Culpeper. Her memorial marble tablet can be found in a burial plot surrounded by walls, some of which have collapsed, located in "Tomb Field", Easy Hall Plantation, Barbados. The plot is divided into two parts; the northerly portion contains what is left of the Culpeper Vault, with the Tablet lying on top covered with vegetation. The southerly portion contains an intact vault with the initials JBM inscribed above the bricked-in entrance. JBM is believed to refer to James Benjamin Mayers and the vault is said to contain eight lead-lined coffins belonging to members of the James Benjamin Mayers family. A PDF of photographs taken on 26 Apr 2008 and a transcription have been provided to Culpepper Connections by Don Mayers (Memorial Plaque to Elizabeth Pollard Culpeper - PDF)
