My great-grandparents (on my father's side) Dr. and Mrs. James Furman Culpepper. I know Dr. Culpepper was married twice but the only wife I was told of was Aunt Jennie. These ancestors lived in Timmonsville, SC where he was the town's doctor. They had several children who all died as infants. They later adopted my grandmother, Susan Govan Rice who in her adult years married Walter Stewart Carter, Sr.

Susan and Walter Carter(my grandparents) had two children -- Walter Stewart Carter, Jr. (October 18, 1924 -- July 1, 1994) and James Furman Carter. James F. Carter died in childhood.
