N/A; N/A; N/A; N/A; N/A; Of Portsmouth, VA, Robert was the son of Reuben
and Mary Frances Culpepper. Reuben was the son of Joseph Culpepper and
Margaret Willoughby of Norfolk County. From his Confederate pension
application, we learn that Robert was employed at the beginning of the
Civil war "in the Gosport Navy Yard, but upon the evacuation of
Portsmouth by the Confederates, this company of men were sent to
Charlotte, North Carolina and employed there by the Government in the
manufacture of Ordnance Stores, then these men were organized into a
Military Battalion, and were frequently called from their post of duties
to repel raiding armies of the enemy. "With the falling of
Richmond, President Davis started sourthward and upon arriving at
Charlotte, North Carolina, his train also bearing the specie which was
in the Confederate Treasury in Richmond, volunteers from the above
Military Battalion were called to escort this specie to the Army of
General Kirby Smith. 60 of these men volunteered for that service,
including Robert S. Culpepper, the applicant for pension." (Source:

Dismal Swamp Rangers, Company A, Third Virginia
Regiment
From the
North-South Skirmish Association Website.
Submitted to Culpepper Connections! by Becky Culpepper in Texas
This company was organized in 1856 at Deep Creek, in Norfolk County, on
the edge of the Dismal Swamp. Deep Creek was a small village and the
neighborhood thinly populated, the people, therefore, deserve commendation
for their zeal and spirit in organizing and maintaining such a large and
effecient company..." Its roster included:
 |
Marshal Culpepper, wounded June 30th, 1862,
Frazier's Farm, disabled and discharged." |
 |
Maurice Culpepper, severely wounded June 30th,
1862, Frazier's Farm, and appointed Provost Marshall at Waverly. |
