Biography* Mary Rutland Culpepper died in 1902 and Matthew remarried another woman also named Mary. However, BLM records show Mary E Culpepper, formerly Mary E. Rutland, patented 160 acres in Covington Co, June 16, 1906. And, it doesn't say, Estate of M. E. Culpepper, dec. (Addendum by Warren Culpepper: Unless the BLM records specifically identify Mary E. Culpepper as the former Mary E. Rutland (which they don't in the online version which I have access to), then the Mary E. Culpepper with the land grant is most likely #3441, the wife of Isaac Jefferson Culpepper, and not the Mary E. who married Matthew Martin Culpepper)

     Matthew and Mary had a daughter, Bertha, b in 1902. This is confirmed by the probate of Mary's brother's estate in 1927. William N. Rutland had 3 heirs. Richard Rutland, Frances Rutland and a neice, Bertha Gentry. Bertha is found in 1920 living next door to Hamilton Cooper Rutland, Mary's father, and in 1930 her youngest son is named Matthew. I am thinking that she named a son after her father, after the death of H. C.3
