Extinct?* This family line headed by William Walker Culpepper is believed to be extinct. If you know a living male descendant with the Culpepper surname, please contact Warren Culpepper using the link at the bottom of this page. 
Birth*circa 1829 William was born at Columbia Co., Georgia, circa 1829.1 
 He was the son of Robert Culpepper of Warren Co., GA and Jane (?). 
1830 Census1 Jun 1830 William was probably a free white male, age under 5, in Jane (?)'s houshold, on the 1830 Census at Columbia Co., Georgia.2 
Land Lottery1832  The orphans of Robert Culpepper were fortunate drawers in (1) the Georgia Gold Lottery for lot 587/3/3 in what became either Paulding or Cobb Co., GA, and (2) the Georgia Cherokee Land Lottery for lot 66/8/4 in what became Murray Co., GA. in 1832 at Columbia Co., Georgia.3,4 
Guardian1 Jan 1838 Sarah Ann Culpepper and William Walker Culpepper declared as orphan(s) at Robert Culpepper of Warren Co., GA's death and on 1 Jan 1838 at Columbia Co., Georgia, (John W. Maddock is appointed guardian of Sarah Ann Culpepper and William W. Culpepper, minors and orphan children of Robert Culpepper. $1,250 bond posted by John W. Maddock, Isaiah W. Maddock and Robert M. Gunby.).5 
1840 Census1 Jun 1840 William was probably a free white male, age 10 and under 15, in Jane (?)'s household, on the 1840 Census on 1 Jun 1840 at Columbia Co., Georgia.6 
1850 Census1 Jun 1850 Cassandra, Sarah, William, Mary, Julia, David and Thomas listed as a household member living with Jane (?) on the 1850 Census on 1 Jun 1850 at Richmond Co., Georgia.7 
Marriage*8 Jul 1850 He married Nancy Frasier at Columbia Co., Georgia, on 8 Jul 1850.8 
1860 Census*1 Jun 1860 William was listed as the head of a family on the 1860 Census at Augusta, Richmond Co., Georgia.9 
Death*before Nov 1864 He died before Nov 1864. 
Probate*7 Nov 1864 William's will was probated at Columbia Co., Georgia, on 7 Nov 1864.10 
Research note Robert Culpepper apparently died before 1830 as his wife Jane appears as family head in the 1830 census, and his orphans were winners in the 1832 Georgia Gold Lottery. Since the 1840 and 1850 censuses show children in Jane's household who were born after 1830 (Mary Ann, Julia Ann, and David P.), it is not clear who their parents are. It is possible that Jane was the mother and the father was someone to whom she was not married. Or, these may be orphan children from another Culpepper family. Since the 1850 census does not state relationships, other records are needed to solve this mystery.
