Research note Concerning the father of George Culpepper:

George Culpepper's mother, Mary Culpepper, was shown as divorced in the 1880 census. The identity of George's father is uncertain, but a George W. Culpepper was named as a grandson in the 1879 will of Stephen M. Culpepper.

Stephen M. Culpepper was the son of Robert Culpepper and his first wife, Pheriba Wright. Pheriba died when Stephen was only about four years old. Circa 1819, when Stephen was about eight, Robert married second, Jane. In the 1830 census in Columbia Co., Stephen and his brother George Washington Culpepper, are likely the males age 15-20 who are living with Jane. Jane was enumerated again in Columbia Co. in 1840 and then in Richmond Co. in 1850. Stephen has not been found in the 1840 census, but in 1850, 1860 and 1870 he was enumerated as a head of household in Jones Co. The most likely child of Stephen to be the father of George is the oldest son, William R. Culpepper, born circa 1853.
