Peter Arnet of Anson Co. NC fought alongside Col. David Love. Col Love's Regiment, and I have Culpepper in my downline that might match this Culpepper... Here is the URL.. FYI.. Culpepper - Washington/Wilkes Co, Ga http://gen.culpepper.com/ss/p3217.htm John Culpepper was the son of Joseph Culpepper, and the grandson of Robert Culpepper of Norfolk Co, VA. He was born about 1733 in Bertie County, NC. The area became Edgecombe County in 1741. John was about 12 when his father Joseph died in 1745. His mother, Martha Culpepper, was appointed his guardian, since he was under age 14. John moved to Anson Co. NC with the rest of his family around 1753 or 1754, when he was about 20 years old. The Culpeppers appeared in deed records in Anson as early as July, 1754. In December 1754, John witnessed a deed from Thomas Harrington to his step- father Benjamin Dumas. Benjamin was buying 270 acres on the north side of the Great Pee Dee River (Anson Co., NC Deed Bk. B, p. 409). John witnessed several other deeds in the 1750's, but did not purchase land himself until 1763, when he was about 30 years old. In January 1763, John Brooks sold him 100 acres on Richardson's Creek, on the south side of Rocky River (Anson Co. Deed Bk. 3, p. 9). John Culpepper sold this land to William Brooks two years later at a steep profit (Anson Co. Deed Bk. 3, p. 239). Meanwhile, in January 1765, John bought 200 acres from John Colson. This new tract was on Brown Creek on the south side of the Pee Dee (Deed Bk. 3, p. 173). In March 1767, John was granted 100 acres on Rocky River (Anson Deed Bk 7, p.120). He sold this tract about twelve years later, in December 1778, to Jacob Green. In October 1783, John was granted 150 acres on the south side of Rocky River and the south side of Richardson's Creek (NC Grant #556). John served in the Revolutionary War as captain of "John Culpepper's Company, Colonel David Love's Regiment, North Carolina Troops" (see Georgia Pensioners, p.186, pension application of John Arnett, who served in this company from Anson County). John was in his late 40's during the Revolutionary War. He had been captain of a militia group in Anson County since at least 1770 ("Colonial Soldiers of the South"). See also "North Carolina Revolutionary Army Accounts Secretary of State, Treasurer's & Comptroller's Papers, Vol. V, Vol. VI, Part IV," by Weynette Parks Haun, Durham, NC, 1992. John moved to Georgia after the Revolutionary War, and lived in Washington County, which had been formed in February 1784 from the Creek cession of November 1783. It is not clear whether John, or his son, John, Jr. who was born about 1766, was the first to move to Washington County, GA. One or perhaps both of them were there by 1786, if not earlier. There are also early records in Wilkes County, GA, for John Culpepper. John Culpepper witnessed four deeds in Wilkes County in 1785. These records may refer to John, son of Sampson, who was aged 20 in 1785. In September 1790 John Culpepper, Sr. bought 225 acres on Clark's Creek from Elijah Clarke (Wilkes Co., GA Deed Bk HH-105). This was clearly the elder John, son of Joseph, but it is not certain that he ever resided on this land, which he sold a few years later from Washington County. John Culpepper was also a juror in Wilkes County in 1790, and this must be John the son of Joseph, since his nephew John had returned to North Carolina at least by 1788, the year of his marriage in NC. Getting back to Washington County, a John Culpepper took out a warrant for land in Washington County in April, 1786, for 200 acres, which was adjoining John Culpepper in Washington County (Washington Co. GA Surveyor's Records, Books D-E, p.258). This may conflict with the records of the Surveyor General's Office of the GA. Dept. of Archives and History, which records a grant to John Culpepper, Jr, dated 24 May 1786, and registered 31 May 1786, for 200 acres in Washington County bounded on all sides by vacant land (Register of Grants Bk. KKK, p. 157.) If the first record is correct, then John Culpepper Jr. was granted land adjacent to his father's land. If the second record is correct, then John Culpepper, Jr. was probably the first in his family to move to Washington County, and was followed there by his father John. In the following records, it is not always clear whether John Culpepper, Sr., or his son, John, Jr., was the recipient of the grants. John Sr. was aged 53 in 1786, and John Jr. was about 20. In any case, John Culpepper (probably Sr.) was a Justice of the Peace in Washington County in 1786 (from the Card File at the Georgia Archives). The next grant to a John Culpepper in Washington County was dated 26 April 1787 and registered 7 May 1787. This was for 200 acres bounded on the east by Thompson, on the south by Williamson's Swamp (Reg. of Grants Bk. NNN, p. 282). John got an additional 200 acre grant on the same date, and registered the same date, bounded on the north by Williamson's Swamp, and on the east by Curaton's land (Grants NNN, p. 339). On 24 September 1788 (registered 25 September 1788) John Culpepper was granted another 200 acres, bounded on the east by Sampson Culpepper, and John Culpepper's land (Grants QQQ, p. 444). From an 1839 deed in Laurens County, GA we know this land later fell in Laurens County on Buckeye Creek (Laurens Co. GA Deed Bk L, p. 303). It was inherited by John's son David Culpepper, and his grandson, David Sneads Culpepper. On 30 Jul 1791 (registered 1 Aug 1791), Sampson Culpepper was granted 200 acres in Washington Co. bounded on the northeast by his brother John Culpepper (Grants UUU, p. 596.) On 9 April 1792 (registered 11 April 1792), John Culpepper was granted 350 acres in Washington County, bounded on the northeast by Fort's land and Thomas Gilbert's land, and on the south by John Culpepper's land (Grants VVV, p. 391). This was probably the grant mentioned in a June 1808 deed in Laurens County, GA, in which John Culpepper (Jr.?) sells 269 acres of a "June 1792 grant to John Culpepper on Buckeye Creek in Washington County" (Laurens Co. GA Deed Bk E, p.63) --- Antivirus: Outbound message clean. Database (VPS): 080621-0, 06/21/2008 Tested on: 7/1/2008 4:28:29 AM (c) 1988-2008 ALWIL Software. http://www.avast.com

Dianne, is that you? My sister Laverne forwarded this website to me. I s this your first appeal or is it an old one? I cannot remember anymore what information I have given you and what I haven't yet. We do have one ancestor that I know of who fought with the 22nd Ga. Regiment: John B Bentley was with Company "F" at Gettysburg and was wounded and captured on July 2, 1863 at the Codori Farm. John B., was the brother of Sarah (Sallie E. Bentley) Smalley, our Great-grandmother. He was born 9/10/1826 and died 10/12/1890. He married Mary A. Reid (Ried) on 12/22/1859. She died 1/31/1887. John B. Bentley survived the war as a POW and fathered children after the war, though records state he was wounded in the groin. I believe they are buried at Salem Baptist Church cemetery near the Woodlawn Community. Since you are so much more organized than I am, could you possible fill in some blanks with information you need that I might still have? Too much to ask, I know. I hope all is well with you. You and I are making progress, Dianne. On this last visit I messed with you long enough that you actually managed a smile! Later, Jim Story Jim Story jmstory@earthlink.net Why Wait? Move to EarthLink.

I requested a CSA monument for my ancestor Zachariah W. Henderson from the Veterans Administration and surprisingly the paperwork was not bad at all that I had to complete for the free marble monument. If your ancestor does not have a monument of any kind on his grave, they will provide the marker for you with no shipping charge, you only have to erect the monument after it's delivered. My Henderson ancestor is buried at Goshen Baptist Church. If anyone does have a picture of the regiment below, please share it with this list. Good luck with this project, Diane.

Zach's site http://www.georgiaencyclopedia.org/nge/Article.jsp?id=h-2056 was VERY helpful as indigo and rice were grown prior to 1800s when cotton simply "took-over". My Leverett ancestor grew Indigo in Lunenburg Co., Virginia in 1755 and this family was in Wilkes County, GA before the 1790s. Some were even in Lincoln County. They didn't move from Wilkes ... the county line "moved" ..... Bet they grew Indigo .... Thank you Zach Florence! Charlotte

I have looked through all of my resources and can't find any reference to rice or indigo. I think the weather could have been too cold for these crops. I am not sure. I found many references to tobacco and cotton as well as corn. The tobacco and cotton was taken to Chamberlain's Ferry, at the end of Chamberlain's Ferry Road which crossed the Savannah River between Lincoln County, Georgia and McCormick County, South Carolina. The crossing is now covered by Clark's Hill. It was floated to Augusta. I found one story about a flat boat overturning and the cotton was lost in the Savannah River.

In the post below the person cited, "to participate in the lucrative tobacco trade." Can anyone site me sources that will tell what other crops were grown in Lincoln County, GA during the 1790-1810 time period?---Especially close to the Savannah River and Broad River? Did they grow any indigo and/or rice in Lincoln Co. This county at the present time,and it looks like it was always this way because of the lay of the land and the numerous creeks, has small fields compared to parts further west and south that have larger fields that would make it condusive to the growth of cotton. This makes me wonder if they grew cotton as a cash crop in Lincoln Co. Perhaps someone has some family inventories, etc that would suggest what crops they grew.

For anyone searching for families in Jackson county, Tennessee, these court records contain a wealth of information: http://www.tngenweb.org/jackson/loose_court_records.htm

I found the following marriage records (two in one!!) in the Houston Public Library's online 19th century newspapers. They don't have all issues of the Augusta Chronicle, but they did have this one, if it's of help to anyone: Augusta Chronicle (Augusta, GA), September 27, 1826; Issue 103, col C. Married --- In Lincoln County, Geo. on the 14th inst. by the Rev. Sylvanus Gibson, Mr. Benton Walton, of Augusta, Geo., to Miss Sarah S. Groce; and at the same time and place, Mr. John D. Hinton, of Wilkes County, Geo. to Miss Elizabeth A. Groce. And also this obituary of John Simmons. This is John Simmons, son of Sterne Simmons and his wife, Gracey; and the husband of Mary Ann Matheson: Augusta Chronicle," (Augusta, GA) January 27, 1827, Issue 33; col. B. At his residence in Lincoln county, on the morning of the 19th instant, at nine o'clock, JOHN SIMMONS, Esq. in the season of usefulness. In the death of this meritorious individual, his immediate connection has not only reason to mourn, but his loss is one of a public nature, in which the neighborhood mostly participates. To a mind greatly domestic and perfectly alive to his own and the interest of those for whom he was concerned, was united in an eminent degree an openness and correctness of manner which rarely failed to create strong attachments in those with whom he was associated. Naturally enterprising and industrious, with judgment mature on the minutia of neighborhood transactions, his plans were evenly laid, and executed with a promptness that always ensured success. To the above few, so many and amiable were his qualities, that he was in times of scarcity a comfortable resort for the more negligent and unreflecting part of society. As a husband and parent, he was excelled by none in affection, nor in his readiness to afford those facilities which add ease and smoothness to the rugged path in which we have to walk --- In this condition, what must be the feelings of the bereaved widow and orphans. Borne down by the weight of a heavy calamity, they have the consolation to know, that their loss is deeply deplored by a sympathising neighborhood. Let us repress our unavailing regrets and not murmur or complain of Him whose laws are inexorable and must be fulfilled --- "What I do, thou knowest not now, but thou shall know hereafter." All the best, Andi Jacobs andirus@comcast.net
