Note by Warren Culpepper. The GA Death Index shows all of these
people as dying in Crisp or Sumter County but residing in Brantley County.
However, there is no supporting evidence for their residence in Brantley, and there is some
evidence to the contrary. Since no other Culpepper records appear in
Brantley County, I believe that there was probably a coding error and
these people should have been shown with a residence in Crisp, not
Brantley, County.
