Biography* Francis Davis Culpepper was the son of William Jehu and Emily Julia Ann Josephine (East) Culpepper. His parents were noted in the 1880 census of the Louina Beat (now Wadley) in Randolph Co., AL and this is probably where he spent his early years. Around 1890, the family is believed to have moved to a farm in the Hurricane Creek area of Grant Co., AR and Frank presumably accompanied his parents there.10 Unfortunately, the 1890 U. S. census records were burned. In the mid-1890's, Frank again accompanied his parents as they moved to Hopkins Co., TX and he appears with his parents in 1900 census records there.
.
In 1908, Frank married Nora McFarland and they settled down to farm and raise their family in Hopkins Co., TX. And this is where the couple was noted with their young family in 1910 and 1920 census records.
.
Frank had lived in Hopkins County for 12 years prior to his death in 1967 at the age of 82.
