Will*1771 He made a will in 1771.1 
Death* He died at Barbados. 
Biography* In his father's will of 22 Oct 1703, William appears to under age 23. On 19 May 1711, three Culpepers, presumably all adult as they were not being presented by a parent, were baptized. They were John Culpeper, age 23, William Culpeper, age __ and Mary Culpepper. On the same day, in the next entry in the parish register, is recorded the baptism of Elizabeth Culpeper, daughter of Alleyne. Since there was an Alleyne (maried to Elizabeth), a John, a William and a Mary who were siblings, and children of Alleyne Culpeper and Mary Hedges, it is a reasonable asumption that the otherwise unidentified William Culpeper baptized on this date is William, son of Alleyne and Mary. On 23 Dec 1717 in St. John, in a will by John Culpeper, William (John's brother) was named as one of the guardians of John's minor children. While the Culpeper of Barbados pedigree indicated that William had a will dated 1771, this has not been proved. Since William would heen been about 90 at that time, it seems highly unlikely that this date is accurate. Perhaps the will was for another William.
