Birth*say 1820 Benjamin was born at Georgia say 1820. 
 He was the son of Elijah Culpepper of Stewart Co. GA. 
1830 Census1 Jun 1830 Benjamin was probably a free white male, age 10 and under 15, in Elijah Culpepper of Stewart Co. GA's household, on the 1830 Census at Laurens Co., Georgia. Unaccounted for are 1 F10-15, 1 F15-20, and 1 Female 40-50 (presumably Elijah's wife). Also, no age bracket was given for Elijah as Head of Family..1 
Deed*2 Mar 1850 Benjamin Culpepper Jr. to Benjamin F. & Mary Jane Dunford for $75: SE half of Lot 162 in District 7 = 101.25 acres. Wit: Benjamin F. Fort; Robert B. Davies, Notary Public. (WLC Note: While Benjamin is identified as Jr. in this deed and in an 1851 tax record, he is nor believed to be the son of Benjamin Sr., ID:3240, but of Elijah. The Jr. designation was probably used to distinguish this Benjamin from the more prominent and older Benjamin Sr.).2

Research note*23 May 2004 Based on the census records of 1820-1840, and his later presence in Barbour County, AL, it seems probable that Benjamin is the son of Elijah. However, this is not proven. If you can help with this, please contact Warren L. Culpepper.9
