David Sneads Culpepper Family Bible
Dooly Co., GA
The Holy Bible
containing the
Old and New Testaments
Translated out of the Original Tongues,
And with the former translations diligently compared and revised...
Cooperstown, NY
Published by H. & E. Phinney
1846
This bible was said to have originally been
the property of David Sneads Culpepper (29 Jul 1816 - 5 Mar 1886), son of
David Culpepper and Elizabeth Hogan. It was given to his youngest
daughter, Julia Emma Culpepper Brown, who is thought to have made many of
the entries in it. She died childless, and at her death it was given to her
great-nephew, Samuel Jackson Culpepper, son of Thomas Albert Culpepper.
Samuel died on 3 Jul 1970 in Crisp Co., GA, but the Bible had been given
to his youngest son, Leon Raines Culpepper in 1962. On 1 Mar 1985, Leon,
who did not have any natural male children, gave the Bible to his nephew,
Perry Melton Culpepper, Jr. (Melton).
Leon had had the Bible repaired, but the original cover was retained. When
the Bible was received by Melton, there was a small photograph of Julia
Brown taped on the inside leaf in the front.
As of August 2004, Melton still owns the Bible and has willed it to his
son, Jackson Campbell Culpepper. Melton also wrote the text above.
Photocopies of the Bible's family history pages have been provided to the
Georgia Department of Archives and to Culpepper Connections!
The transcription below was done by Warren L. Culpepper, publisher of
Culpepper Connections! In so far as possible, the sequence, wording,
spelling and style were all retained exactly as found. Text in italics
represents notations by Warren. The parenthetical text following each
entry gives (1) the relationship of the person to David Sneads Culpepper
and (2) that person's #number within the
Culpepper Family Tree. Based on Warren's analysis of handwriting
styles, he believes that the events dated prior to 1867 were written by
one person, and subsequent events by another, probably Julia Culpepper Brown.
