| Biography* | A "BIBLE FAMILY RECORD OF FRANCIS G. & EGLINTINE CULPEPPER" recorded William's birth (again the day was difficult to read it appears to be a 10 with the 0 written over by a 1: _________________________William R. Culpepper _________________________Born March 11th 1829 William Culpeper was listed in the 1860 census of Hallettsville, Lavaca Co., TX. His first wife, Vashti Harbour, is believed to have died before 1857 and there is no record of another marriage until 1861 so the 26 year old "Mary Culpeper" born in Georgia who was listed with William in the 1860 census has not been identified. William had real estate valued at $1,000 and personal property valued at $300. On p. 54 of On the Headwaters of the Lavaca and the Navidad Paul C. Boethel notes "W. R. Culpepper, private" on the: Muster roll of Frederick J. Malone's Company, organized at Sweet Home, August 6, 1861. Enlistment for state service for twelve months. Note on roll: "No arms of an improved style." William's older brother, J. T. J. Culpepper was listed as "1st sergeant" in the same unit. On p. 55, Judge Boethel notes: As military units for service in the Confederate army were recruited, the personnel of Searcy's and Malone's companies were sorely depleted and eventually the units were disbanded to be superceded by other state service units. Apparently William later served in Company B, Hardeman's TX Cavalry. On p. 60, Judge Boethel notes: William, born March 11, 1829, also settled in the area [near Sweet Home], and donated a tract of six acres for the Mt. Olive School and the Primitive Baptist Church. William Culpepper returned home after the war and was listed as a farmer in the 1870 census of Lavaca Co., TX with his second wife, Julia, and young family. They were living next door to William's father, Frank Culpepper. William had real estate valued at $500 and personal property valued as $1,500. He remained in Lavaco Co., TX at least until 1900 where he was noted with his second wife and younger children in 1880 and 1900 census records. Mrs. R. M. (Anne Culpepper) Hunt wrote 27 Oct 1978 that "Uncle William moved to Central Tx. about 1900...." Presumably the family moved to Bosque Co., TX where the widowed, Julia Culpepper, was noted (pct. 3 ED 7 sheet 9) with her daughter, Mattie, in 1910 census records.
