Birth*1644 John was born in 1644. 
 He was the son of Rev. William Culpeper of England and Barbados and Margaret Alleyne of England and Barbados. 
Marriage*before 1675 He married Elizabeth (?) of Barbados before 1675. 
Death*1676 He died at Barbados in 1676. 
Biography* The only reference to John was on 27 Jan 1663, John Culpeper, age 19, gave a deposition regarding the will of Armel Gould. Thus, he must have been born about 1644. Some believe that this is the John Culpeper who emigrated to South Carolina and is the one who became known as the "Carolina Rebel". While there is solid evidence that John the Rebel did come to South Carolina from Barbados in 1671, some believe that the journey began in England and that John the Rebel never lived in Barbados. It is possible that this John, and his apparent brother, "John Alleyne", are one and the same person. There is no proof of John's ancestry, and it is pure speculation that John is the son of the Rev. William Culpeper and Margaret Alleyne. Whoever his parents, it seems likely that he was born in England as there is no evidence of Culpepers in Barbados as early as 1644. In a pedigree chart, entitled "Culpeper of Barbados of Bayfield and Elsewhere in that Island" (author and date unknown), a John Culpeper (ob. 1676) is shown with no ancestry and married to Eliza who had a will dated 1686 (Col. Sec.'s Office, Barbados). This couple is shown with two daughters: one who was married to Daniel Boyle and the other, Deborah, who died in infancy in 1676. If the John Culpeper who gave the deposition for Armel Gould is the same as the John Culpeper of the pedigree chart, then this John could not have been John the Rebel.
