Biography*23 Aug 2005 Pat Culpepper Bush wrote Warren Culpepper on 7 Sep 2006:
"William 'Will' Garland Culpepper (Hager) was my grandfather's father. My grandfather was James John Culpepper (Hager), Sr. (We always called him 'Pop') His oldest son, James J. Culpepper, Jr., was my father. We know nothing about Will's family. Pop told us that his Dad was very close to an uncle named Jim Culpepper and 'took' the name. Pop also told us that 'Uncle Jim' got into a fight and killed a man, ran from the authorities, joined the merchant marines, and ended up somewhere in S. Africa. It has always been a mystery to the whole family. Pop and Uncle Dan were baptized under the surname 'Hager' at Sacred Heart Church in Augusta. From all I have heard Will was a scoundrel. Pop told me that he left Mom (Marguerite Bolster), Uncle Dan and himself in a boarding house and arranged for them to have one meal a day, not a meal each, but one meal. Ms. Mag (Marguerite ) divided the meal between Uncle Dan and himself and basically starved herself. Pop and Uncle Dan's mom contracted a disease, and died. Ma and Pa Bolster, Ms. Mag's parents, raised Pop and Uncle Dan. My guess is they knew him as a 'Culpepper' and raised Pop and Uncle Dan as Culpepper's.
     "I have more information regarding dates at home and will try and bring in to send. I took our family tree all the way back to Ma and Pa Bolster and have all the Augusta descendants, birthdays, dates of death, marriages, etc. I don't know much else about Will except that he did marry after leaving Ms. Mag. I don't know the ladies name, however, I do know that in the divorce HE got custody of a daughter named Ruth. So there is another daughter out there somewhere. He ended up in Tallahassee and married a lady named Ms Amy. He obviously was a very busy man."7
