| Biography* | Sir William Culpeper, Bart., baptized at Ardingly 4 Jul 1602, was educated at Eton, and afterwards in 1621 at Gonville and Caius College, Cambridge; admitted of Lincoln's Inn, Nov 1623; B.A. from Balliol College, Oxford, 22 Jun 1625; married at Bolney 13 Jul 1626, Jane, daughter of Sir Benjamin Pellatt, at whose death the manor of Bolney came to Sir William Culpeper, according to the terms of the marriage settlement dated 10 Apr 1626 (2 Charles I). He was M.A. from Hart Hall, Oxford, 18 Mar 1633/4, and was buried at Ardingly 6 Dec 1678, as an ancient Bart. It is curious that all the Baronetages confuse him with Sir William Culpeper of Aylesford, Bart., who died in 1651, and to explain the difference in age between his death and that of his grandson and successor, Sir William Culpeper, the 2nd Baronet, they create two more Baronets in Sir Benjamin and Sir Edward, sons of Sir William, the 1st Baronet, to fill the vacancy. Neither Sir William Culpeper nor Lady Jane, his wife, appear to have left any will. (Source: "The Sussex Colepepers-II"). |
