Biography* From Sharon Culpeper, July 2002:
     ... my mother just arrived from Guyana, she was able to confirm that grandfather's name is Culpeper, instead of Culpepper. She also confirmed that my grandfather's family came from Barbados. She also mentioned that two brothers migrated to Guyana, John and Harvey Culpeper. John being my great grandfather. She also mentioned that my grandfather claimed that his grandfather was from England.
     John Culpeper ... was sent to England to be a Minister, but refused and worked as a sailor from ship to ship according to my mother. He eventually settled in Guyana at a placed called Moruca.
     John and his wife Maria had 13 children. Only two are alive my grandfather and his sister.

Follow-up from Sharon Culpepper, Oct 2003:
     ...My grandfather (Francis Patrick Culpeper) married Josephine Evans. She died September 4th, 1998 after being together for over 50 years. His father's name was John Culpeper, according to my aunt he died sometime in the 50S. My grandfather has seven children, Francis Culpeper Jr (living in Guyana), Elaine Culpeper Carrington (living in New York), Patricia Culpeper (living in Texas), Eloise Culpeper (living in Florida), Kathleen Culpeper (living in Belize), Carmen Culpeper Pieters (living Guyana), and Maurice Culpeper (living in Guyana). He has ninteen grandchildren.
     According to my aunt, John Culpeper became a farmer, after his uncle Harvey Culpeper sent him to England to study, in which he did not follow through. Harvey stopped suppyling money and he worked from ship to ship. We do not know how much time he spent in England but he returned and became a farmer. This was due to Harvey having land ownership in Brickdam, Georgetown, Guyana.
     John Culpeper had thirteen children: Kathleen Culpeper, Julie Culpeper, Edward Culpeper, Francis Culpeper, Florance Culpeper (still living and younger than my grandfather). These were the only names by aunt could recall.
