Commentary by Lew Griffin
The 1880 census of Fannin County lists a John A. Culpepper, age 44, born in TN,
with wife Jane, 35, born in TX. Their children in 1880 were Callie, 13 (probably from
John's previous marriage), Elizabeth A., born in 1875, and Jennie, born in 1879. This John
A. Culpepper was the son of Burrell Smith Culpepper of McMinn and Polk Counties, TN.
Burrell was the son of Joel Culpepper, son of Benjamin Culpepper of SC. John A.
Culpepper's first wife was Elizabeth A. Benton, whom he had married in 1856 in TN. His
second wife, Jane, was born in Texas, and so he must have married her after moving to
Texas, and perhaps in Fannin County. John A. Culpepper also had a first cousin, Samuel
Huston Culpepper, who also lived in Fannin County.
 Commentary
by Dick Lindsay
The curator
of the Fannin County museum gave me a list of 26 names, however, another
notation in the literature stated that there were over 200 graves marked
there at one time. The surnames other than Culpepper are: Benton,
Ragsdale, Cox, Page, Bettis, Taylor, Ira, McSpadden, McMahon, Suddath,
Wren, and Rosenbam.
