Louisiana Culpepper Archives
State-wide Records

James Baskin Culpepper (#4022) was a lawyer prior to his death in the Civil War, and never married. He began the war as a private in Co. F., 2nd LA Infantry, having enlisted May 9, 1861 at Camp Walker. He was promoted to Corporal Jan 1, 1862, and was elected 1st Lieutenant when the company was re-organized near Richmond a few months later. He was killed in action Jul 1, 1862

John Culpepper (# 137), son of Robert and Martha Martin Culpepper, was born 17 Nov 1845, in Jasper Co., GA and died 23 Nov 1924 in Junction City, AR. He was a brother to Stephen Culpepper, above. John Culpepper also was enlisted in Co. C, 19th Louisiana Infantry, CSA. He was captured at the Battle of Missionary Ridge and  taken prisoner to Rock Island Prison camp in Illinois. He was a "Galvanized Yankee", joining the Union Army while a prisoner. He enlisted with Co. E 2nd US Volunteers on 6 Oct 1864 and served until discharged on 7 Nov 1865. From the records it appears all of his service was in Kansas. The United States encouraged these men to join by promising them freedom without having to fight against their homeland. The prison camps were insufferable and I wonder how many of us today could stand what these men went through. Then, after serving and drawing a pension a few years in his old age, the government withdrew the pension on the basis that these men had not helped to put down the rebellion. It was later restored by an act of Congress. (Source: Susie Brown who extracted the preceding from his Pension Application)

Paroled at Meridian, MS 13 May 1865, Residence, Argis, LA (From Volume II, Records of Louisiana Confederate Soldiers & Commands, courtesy of D. O. Culpepper).

From Susie Brown: Stephen Culpepper was my great-grandfather. He was enlisted in the 19th Louisiana Volunteers CSA as a private on 20 Sep 1861, at Summerfield, La.  He was ruptured in the battle of Kennesaw Mountain in Georgia on 30 Jul 1864, and paroled on 10 May 1865. His rupture was the basis for his drawing a pension. Apparently, they pushed the cannons to the top of the mountain, and he suffered a permanent rupture from it.  I sent for his record, which as I understand, is also the record of Stephen Josephus who was my Stephen's uncle.  There is only one record, but they both apparently served. My Stephen's wife, Annie Culpepper drew a widow's pension from Arkansas, Also, my Stephen has a confederate tombstone stating Co. C, 19th La Inf.
