Biography* The following is from Tadford Culpepper descendant Tommie Culpepper (source: Carolyn Jenkins and her daughter Libby Stalter):
     "There were five children born to this union:
     Mattie, the oldest and her husband Uhlman, had five children; but not much is known of them;
     Tommie was just little when his Aunt Mattie died. We think both she and her husband are buried in S. Pleasant Grove, but could find no stone. I have not been able to locate their children or grandchildren; I am still trying.
     Of course I mentioned Aunt Angle, Pappy's second oldest sister, married his Uncle Fate; Mammie's oldest brother; consequently there are double cousins here. I did mention about their children; evidently Tommie's brothers were good friends with the Evans boys and their sister Jewel.
     The other two Aunt Callie and her husband Tom Petty, had six children; I really didn't get to know their children; but Aunt Callie lived across the street from where Pappy and Mamie lived when we moved to Kentucky. Here children had moved away; some to Paducah, KY. and one to Detroit, Michigan. Her husband had died several years earlier.
     Uncle Perry, the youngest child, married Aunt Zora, they were busy farmers and hard workers. There really wasn't much visiting between families in the early days; everyone was busy trying to make a living. I did get to know their two boys, J. L. & Palmer; they also were good tobacco farmers and hard workers. J. L. just died a few months ago. They lived and farmed close to where their father Uncle Perry lived."
     Tommie remembers Julia (his grandmother). Tommie's family moved in with her for almost a year after his grandfather (Tadford) died. Tommie always says he remembers his Aunt from St. Louis, he doesn't remember her name, would come and visit them and roll her hair up on rags.
     Joe Hutson was a cousin of Joe Ben, Tommie's Dad. He raised his daughter Mittie after his wife died. She married Hiyt Roberts' brother.
     Tommie's father got $40.00 out of his father's estate. A lot of money at that time.
