Research note* That Nicholas was a brother of Peter is based on Camden Co NC Deeds BK Q-537, 31 Nov 1821, "Peter Culpepper to Nicholas Culpepper, brother...." The children of Nicholas are unproven. The 1810 census shows that he had three sons born between 1800 and 1810.
     Benjamin and William have been assigned to Nicholas because of their association with each other in Camden Co. NC deed records, and because of the apparent use of the name Nicholas among descendants of Benjamin.
     Accountis is based solely on his being the right age. He named a son William, possibly after a brother. His son Joshua might indicate that he was a son of Joshua rather than of Nicholas, but Joshua's known children were all born before 1800, and Accountis was born around 1805.
