Culpepper Archives
Norfolk Southside, 1661-1724
After an
initial presence on the eastern shore of
Virginia, the American Culpepper family first established
permanent roots in the southeastern corner of Virginia where many remain to this day. Now known as
"the Southside" and officially called South Hampton Roads,
this area includes the counties and independent cities of Norfolk,
Chesapeake, Isle
of Wight,
Nansemond,
Portsmouth,
Princess Anne,
Suffolk,
Surry and
Virginia Beach.
During the period included on this page, the
political jurisdictions in the Southside area were (alphabetically)
|
Isle of Wight
County (1637-present) |
|
Lower
Norfolk County (1637-1691) |
|
Nansemond County
(1645-1974) |
|

If you can identify any of the names in
red, please
let us know.
-
Culpepper was occasionally spelled "Culpeper"
or "Colepeper" in the
original deeds. The spelling did not appear to be significant, hence we have consistently
used the modern spelling in this document.

Eastern Shore Records, 1635-1647
Early Immigration Records and Lancaster Co. Records, 1653-1659
Lancaster County was established in 1651 from
Northumberland and York counties. It is part of the Northern Neck and
not of Norfolk's Southside. However, the deeds are included here for
ease of reference with other Culpeper records of the mid 17th century.
The immigration/land patent records are the only know records of their
type in which Henry Culpeper is found. And the 1664 passage from England
to New England is the only instance found where both Henry and John
Culpeper are connected. Most
likely, the John Culpeper records were for
John Culpeper of Accomack Co., VA (#62121).
The Henry Culpeper records had long been assumed to be for
Henry Culpeper of Lower Norfolk Co., Virginia
(#1). However, a signature and spelling
discrepancy casts this in doubt. See note below associated with the
7 Dec 1658 deed.

Culpepper Connections Note:
The signature for Henry in the image for the above deed does not
match the script capital "H" that is seen on documents for Henry
Culpeper of Lower Norfolk. Note that also the above document was
signed "Hen: Colepepper", whereas Henry of Lower Norfolk was placing
his script "H" between Henry and Culpeper which someone else had
written (as in Henry "H" Culpeper). So both the spelling and the
signatures suggest two different Henrys. |
