Application Number 23405 Application date Sept 1 1913 / Upshur County Texas
Application states she was married to T. J. Culpepper who died 12 November 1895 in Upshur County, Texas. I was married to him on the 15? day January 1866. (That ? is in with the date) I was married to him in Henry County Alabama. She states her age as 70 years and (note) born in Henry County, Alabama. Resided in the state of Texas 30 years. Resided in the county of residence 30 years. Post office address is Gilmer, Texas Route No.4. She states that her husband's full name is Thomas Jefferson Culpepper. Witness 'J.T.

Son, C.T. Culpepper (assume to be Charles T) of Gilmer, Upshur County Texas, handled Warrant for Martha or M.A. Culpepper who died in the home of her daughter, Mrs. D.B. Lewis, on the 11 day of Jan 1922 (note the death date and the 10th was there and marked thru and 11 replaced it). This portion appears to be filled put by her son and signed by him.(We also show no Lewis in CC site for her daughters). Martha or M.A. Culpepper died in the town of Noonday, County of Smith Texas.
Certificate of Undertaker also shows her death date as the 11th of January 1922 and prepared her body on the 12th of January 1922. I can't read the cemetery name very well but appears to be; Wortham, Hortham Cemetery located in Smith County Texas. Mortuary Warrant Account; shows her Casket and Sroud was selected Jan 6,1922 for $79.10. Son C.T. Culpepper signed certificate.

David and Savannah may have come to Texas in 1881 with Savannah's brother, Jasper Bland. It is certain that they were in Upshur County in 1891 because in December of that year they purchased a 100 acre tract of land in the Stamps Community from Savannah's brother, Harrison B. Bland. david and Savannah sold the 100 acre farm in Jul 1899 to their son, Andrew H. Culpepper. In 1900 there were living in the East Mountain Community of Upshur County. Andrew Culpepper sold the 100 acre farm that he had purchased from his parents to his future brother-in-law, Walter E. Jones, in January 1900. At the time of the conveyance A. H. Culpepper was listed as a resident of Franklin Co, TX.
