Biography* According to the 1850 census, Mary Ann Elizabeth Culpepper was born in South Carolina. Her parents, John Jefferson and Catherine (Bell) Culpepper, have not been located in the 1820 census but were probably living in Edgefield District, SC near Barbary Bell, Catherine (Bell) Culpepper's widowed mother. Presumably, in 1823 or 1824, Mary Ann Elizabeth would have moved to Georgia with her parents where her father is noted in Monroe Co., GA taking part in the 1827 Georgia Land Lottery. He is next noted in an 1829 deed living, presumably with his family, in Upson Co., GA. Mary Ann Elizabeth is first noted as a 10-15 year old female in the household of her parents in the 1830 census of Upson Co., GA. Mary Ann Elizabeth's father was still listed in Upson Co., GA when he took part in the 1832 Gold Lottery and since Mary Ann Elizabeth's younger brothers were born in Georgia according to census records, the family probably remained in Upson Co., GA until at least 1835. Some time after this, possibly in 1835 or 1836 when the Francis G. and James Culpepper families moved to Alabama, or in 1837 after the marriage of Mary Ann Elizabeth's older brother, John Jefferson Culpepper moved his family to Chambers Co., AL. One female, 15-20 years of age was noted in the John J. Culpepper household in the 1840 Chambers Co., AL census, presumably Mary Ann Elizabeth.
12 Dec 1841, "Mary Ann E. Culpepper" married "Robert L. Johnson" in Chambers Co., AL and "John J. Culpepper" signed the certificate. In the 1850 Chambers Co., AL census, the farm of Robert Johnson, Mary Ann Elizabeth's husband was located between the land of her father, John J. Culpepper, and the land of her younger brother, Robert J. Culpepper. Although she was listed as "Mary Ann E. Culpepper" in the marriage record, she was listed as "Elizabeth" in the 1850 census record. A 40 year old James Johnson born in South Carolina was also living with Robert and Elizabeth. Perhaps he was Robert's older brother. A 16 year old Marion Weldon and a 12 year old George Weldon, both born in Georgia, were also in the household and have not been identified. Unfortunately, the family has not been located in 1860 census records of Chambers Co. or Randolph Co., AL and no more is known about Mary Ann Elizabeth.
