Research note*1 Jun 2004 Reuben is certainly a descendant of Robert Culpepper Jr. of early Norfolk [ID 678]. And he is probably a descendant of Robert's son Sampson. But his exact connection to this family remains to be determined. Reuben is found in the city of Portsmouth in early Personal Property Tax records, between 1843 and 1846, with the family of Joseph S. Culpepper.
