Agnes (?)
Female, #3227, (say 1744 - )
| Note* | | The name "Agness" is from a Bible, said to have originally been the property of David Sneads Culpepper (29 Jul 1814 -- 5 Mar 1886), son of David Culpepper and Elizabeth Hogan. It was given to his youngest daughter, Julia Emma Culpepper Brown, who is thought to have made many of the entries in it. She died childless and at her death it was given to her great-nephew, Samuel Jackson Culpepper, son of Thomas Albert Culpepper. Samuel died on 3 July 1970, in Crisp Co. GA, but the Bible had been given to his youngest son, Leon Raines Culpepper in 1962. On March 1, 1985, Leon, who did not have any natural male children, gave the Bible to his nephew, Perry Melton Culpepper Jr., son of Perry Melton Culpepper. Leon had the Bible sent off and repaired, but the original cover was retained. When the Bible was received by Perry Melton Culpepper Jr., there was a small photograph of Julia Brown taped on the inside leaf in the front. This information provided by Perry Melton Culpepper Jr., March 1985, who sent a photocopy of the Bible pages to Lew Griffin. |

| Biography* | | According to the David Sneads Culpepper family Bible, "Agness" was the wife of John Culpepper, and the mother of their son David Culpepper, who was born in 1768. If a biography of Jonathan Yarbrough is accurate, then John was married twice, and his second wife was Mary. John and Mary Culpepper were said to have been the parents of Jonathan Yarbrough's wife, Elizabeth Culpepper, who was probably born in 1779 or a few years thereafter. This writer therefore presumes that Agnes was John's first wife, and the mother of his older children, and that Mary was his second wife, and the mother of John's younger children. Since we do not have exact dates of birth for most of John's children, it is not entirely clear to this writer which of John's children are by which wife.
