Culpepper Family Tree Charts
Descendants of
Benjamin Culpepper of Edgecombe Co., NC

Benjamin Culpepper of Edgecombe Co., NC is the son of Robert Culpepper, and the grandson of Henry Culpepper of Lower Norfolk, who is believed to be the progenitor of most American Culpeppers. Links to charts depicting the branches of Benjamin's descendants will be found below. Sons are indented under their fathers. the charts start at the named individual and go forward in time to the present day. All of the lines for which charts have been created are believed to have one or more living male Culpepper descendants. Depicted are all of their known Culpepper descendants as well as a few non-Culpeppers.

DNA Testing and Notation. For those family branches where a member is contained in the chart and is also a member of our DNA project, we have appended the members DNA Kit # following the lowest-level family-branch name (These numbers have meaning only to the publisher's of Culpepper and Associates and are included here only for our convenience). Following the kit number, we append in parentheses the working name of their DNA subgroup. If the test has been ordered but not yet returned to the lab, we place "Out" in parentheses. If the lab has not yet provided test results, we place "In the Lab" in parentheses.

Printing. The charts can be printed if you use Internet Explorer 7.0, but not earlier browsers.

* DNA Signature: Erasmus/Pleasant. A unique DNA signature has been found for the descendants of Pleasant Jackson Culpepper. In general, they have the Culpepper modal haplotype exhibited by other descendants of Robert Culpepper. However, with Pleasant's descendants, DYS 437 = 15, and not 16 as is found in the modal haplotype. It is possible that this variation actually occurred with one of Pleasant's direct ancestors: Osborne Jackson Culpepper, Benjamin Culpepper of Clarke Co., AL, or Osborne Culpepper of Nash Co., NC. Testing of more descendants of the latter should clarify the generation in which the change in DYS 437 from 16 to 15 occurred.

** DNA Signature: Erasmus/StephenJos. A unique DNA signature has been found for the descendants of Stephen Josephius Culpepper. In general, they have the Culpepper modal haplotype exhibited by other descendants of Robert Culpepper. However, with Stephen's descendants, DYS 534 = 16, and not 17 as is found in the modal haplotype. It is possible that this variation actually occurred with one of Stephen's direct ancestors: Lemuel Culpepper, or Lemuel's father (who perhaps was Erasmus, Sampson or Robert), Testing of a descendant of Lemuel's son, Robert W. Culpepper, should clarify the generation in which the change in DYS 534 from 17 to 16 occurred.
