Biography* According to the death certificate State Registrar's No. 6073, John Washington Culpepper was a retired barber. He had retired in 1930 and was living at 2522 N. 26th Avenue, Birmingham, AL which appears to have been the address of his son, Nathan Gamble Culpepper. John Washington Culpepper died at his son's residence, at 1:00 p.m., of Pulmonary Tuberculosis which he had suffered from for more than a year. Information for the death certificate came from Nathan Gamble Culpepper, a son, who listed listed the mother of John Washington Culpepper as "Mary Herron" but Harris County, GA records show that Nathan F. Culpepper obtained a license to marry Sarah T. Herren, 21 Apr 1858. No later marriage record has been found and Nathan F. Culpepper was killed in the Civil war, so it is probable that John Washington Culpepper's mother was Sarah Tabitha Herren. The death certificate also lists John W. Culpepper's place of birth as Alabama, again based on information from a son, Nathan Gamble Culpepper. But according to researcher, William R. Wreford, in a 14 Jul 1989 letter, another son, Alvin Comer Culpepper, said that John W. Culpepper had been born at Shiloh, Harris Co, GA which would be the same county where the marriage license was obtained and where the family appears to have been living during the 1860 census.
