Cambridge University
Culpeper Alumni, 1261-1900

Alumni Cantabrigienses was compiled by J. A. Venn, a former president of Queen's College. This list of all known students, graduates, and officers at The University of Cambridge offers information from the university's earliest records through 1900. This is quite an impressive span when one considers that the earliest records of the university date from around 1261. This entire collection contains 10 volumes in 2 sets. The first set covers alumni from the earliest records to 1752 and the second set from 1752 to 1900. The compilation was published by Cambridge University Press in 1921.

Every entry offers important information which may include any of the following: notable accomplishments, occupation, birth date, birth place, other schooling, spouse's name, parent's names, siblings and other important associations.

Individuals named Culpeper or Culpepper

The first name below is for someone with a given name, not surname, of Culpepper. He is included recognizing the possibility that he may be descended from a Culpepper. The others are all individuals born with a Culpeper or Culpepper surname. The Colepeper spelling was not used for any of the names listed, although this may well have been the decision of the complier and not how the names were actually entered in the University records. All entries where the birth is noted as "circa" have been estimated by Culpepper Connections.
