Name Variation  Francis Culpeper was also known as Culpepper of England. 
Name Variation  Francis Culpeper was also known as Colepeper. 
Birth*1652 Francis was born in 1652. 
 He was the son of John Lord Culpeper 1st Baron of Thoresway and Judith Culpeper. 
Death*1663 He died in 1663. 
Burial*1 Nov 1663 His body was interred on 1 Nov 1663 at Westminster Abbey, Westminster, London, England. 
Biography* He is the only one of his generation of whom there is no record in Hollingbourne. Evidently born abroad after his mother had rejoined her husband for the exile, he made his first appearance in his father's will as 'my son Francis,' with recitation of a settlement which was to be ineffective 'if he die under 21.' He was then entered at Westminster School; where the name F. Culpeper' is inscribed on one of the monumental lists of Captains of the School between 1653 and 1682 (Welch, Queen's Scholars of Westminster, 1852; p. 532).
.
He was buried in the cloisters of Westminster Abbey, November 1. 1663, as Francis Culpeper, one of the King's scholars' (Chester, Westminster Burials, Harl. Soc. Pub., x, p. 159, where Col. Chester conjectures that he was a son of the second Lord Culpeper).
.
His name was not included in the list of children surviving their father on the first Lord Culpeper's MI; but as that record was not made until 1695, it is apparent that Francis' survivorship had then been forgotten.
