Biography* Francis Louis Elias Culpepper was the son of Elias Daniel and Nancy (Clegg) Culpepper. His parents were noted in the 1860 census in the Darysaw P. O. District of Jefferson Co., AR and this is probably where he was born. On current maps, Darysaw is to the west of Pine Bluff near the border between Jefferson County and Grant County but on the Grant County side of the line. The family was apparently living in an area which was taken into Grant Co., AR which was organized in 1869.5 A seven year old "Francis L. E. Culpepper" was listed with his parents in the "Derasaw" Township of Grant Co., AR in the 1870 census. And a 17 year old "Francis Culpepper" was noted with his parents in the 1880 census of Grant Co., GA.

In 1891, Francis married Ruth Ellis and they settled down to raise their family in Portland, Ashley Co., AR. Francis died in 1939 at the age of 77.
