Biography*

Thomas Culpeper (1637-1708). Colonel
Thomas Culpeper (1637-1708). colonel, was the only son of Sir Thomas Culpeper, knight, lieutenant of Dover Castle; and of St. Stephen's, otherwise Hackington, Kent, by his wife, Lady Barbara, daughter of Robert Sydney, earl of Leicester, and widow of Sir Thomas Smythe, K.B., first viscount Strangford (Hasted, Kent, fol. ed. iii. 595-6, iv. 76).
     Born, according to his own statement, on the Christmas day of 1637, he lost both his parents six years later. He lived as steward with the Strangford family. With his half-brother, Philip Smythe 2nd Viscount Strangford, he busied himself in promoting the king's return, and was imprisoned by the council of state in August and September 1659 (State Papers, Dom. 1659-60).
      In 1662 he married Frances, third and youngest daughter of John, lord Frecheville, of Staveley, Derbyshire, by his second wife, Sarah, daughter and heiress of Sir John Harrington, knight. It was a stolen match, and so displeasing to Lord Frecheville, that, while outwardly reconciled, he refused to make his daughter any settlement. At his death, in March 1682, he left her an annuity of £300, which owing to the reduced state of his fortune was probablv never paid. Lord Frecheville had in fact been obliged to sell his manor of Stavelev and other lands appurtenant thereto to the Earl of Devonshire [William Cavendish, 1640-1707] in the October previous to his death for the sum, it is stated, of £2,600. (Harl. MS. 6820, f. 100).
      This was afterwards made the subject of much litigation by Culpeper. He used every means in his power to set aside the sale, and, exasperated by repeated failure, he took occasion to publicly insult his opponent by striking him within the precincts of the court at Whitehall, on 9 July 1685. The assault was witnessed by Evelyn (Diary, 1850-2, ii. 227). For this offence Culpeper was imprisoned in the marshalsea, and subsequently condemned to lose his hand. His wife's devotion alone saved him. Her letters to him during his imprisonment (Harl. MS. 7005) and the account of her efforts to procure his release are deeply pathetic. At her entreaty Lord Danby used his influence with the king, and Culpeper was pardoned.
      After Monmouth's defeat, Culpeper for some reason was encouraged to show himself at court, where he would in all probability have obtained some minor office. But on the evening of 26 April 1687, the Earl of Devonshire, encountering him in the Vane Chamber at Whitehall, while the king and queen were in the presence, challenged him to walk out, and on Culpeper's refusal struck him with his cane (Bramston, Autobiography, Camd. Soc., pp 275, 278-9). It was now the earl's' turn to be imprisoned and tried. In the result he was fined £30,000. (Lords' Journals, April-May 1689), and in default of payment was committed to the king's bench, from which, however, he soon managed to escape, and in the next reign the fine was remitted (Collins, Peerage, ed. Brydges, i. 343). The sequel is recorded by Luttrell, who under the date of 1 Jul 1697 writes: "Yesterday the Duke of Devon meeting Coll. Culpepper at the auction house in St. Albans Street, caned him for being troublesome to him in the late reign' (Relation of State Affairs, iv. 246).
      Culpeper had now lost all hope of preferment at court, and, having sold his family estate in 1675, was left without provision in his old age. His wife had died on 3 Dec 1698, leaving no issue. The rest of his life is a dismal record, of want and sickness, of perpetual schemes for the amendment of his fortunes, by pretended discoveries of mines, and of various projects for the improvement of the army, navy, and revenue, besides inventions without number. He died at his lodging in Tothill Street, Westminster, in December 1708, and was buried on the 28th in the neighbouring church of St. Margaret (Burial Register).
      Although flighty and eccentric even to madness, Culpeper was possessed of undoubted abilities and knowledge. His scientific attainments had procured his election to the Royal Society on 28 May 1668. He was the familiar friend of Thomas Bushell, the engineer [q. v.] (Westminster Abbey Registers, Harl. Soc., pp: 183-4 n.)
      Many of his manuscripts are preserved in the British Museum. The more important are his transcript of the 'Frecheville Evidences,' from a copy 'made by some herald,' probably Richard St. George (Harl. MS. 7535), and the eighteen volumes of what he called 'Adversaria' (HarL MSS. 7587-7605). 'In these volumes; writes Sir F. Madden, 'is contained an immense mass of information relative to the lands and descent of the Frecheville family, and more particularly to the claims advanced by Col. Culpeper, in right of his wife, to the title and estate of Lord Frecheville, and to his own various schemes and undertakings; but the whole is written so negligently, and with so many errors, as to make these collections of less value than they otherwise would be' (Nichols, Collectanea, iv 218). Other manuscripts are 'Collections from Public Records, &c. (Harl. MS. 6833), 'Commonplace Books' (ib. 6817-18), 'Memorandum Book' (Addit. MS. 11265)
      At the end of Harl. MS. 7560, ff. 293-7, are some sheets of a petition to the court of chancery, a most extraordinary document, detailing a secret marriaga between the colonel and the widow of Sir Thomas Grosvenor, and told with a graphic vigour and minute references to dates and persons which make us think that Culpeper would have excelled as a writer of fiction.¹

Biography*

Thomas Culpeper of Crawley, Esq., who from the Inq. P.M. of John Fenner and from the will of his uncle, Richard Culpeper, appears to have been married shortly before 1513 (when her younger son was aged four year) to Anne, the widow of Thomas Fenner, his son, who died shortly before his father. The will of John Fenner, the father, and Thomas Fenner, the son, were both proved in P.C.C. in 1513. John Fenner gives his messuage in Crawley with certain lands to Anne Fenner, late the wife of Thomas Fenner, his son, and nor;• the wife of Thomas Culpeper, for her life. She is also to have his lands in Ifeld called Bonewyks and Westland until her younger son, John Fenner, aged four years, shall attain the age of 21. "Anne" describes herself in her will as "Joane," widow of Thomas Culpeper of Crawley, Esq., and as she mentions no Culpepers in it we may assume that she left no issue by her second husband. Her will is not dated, but was proved between 1541-1549. Her husband, Thomas Culpeper, is probably the defendant in an action, William Williams, clerk, versus Thomas Culpeper.
.
Interrogatories:
Whether the said plaintiff made a lease of years of the parsonage of Burstow unto the said Thomas Culpeper or not and what rent the said Thomas should pay yearly and what chambers or any other things were reserved to the said person… and many other interrogatories.
Among the evidence given is that of Thomas Busse of Burstow, carpenter. He says that he does not know whether the said William Williams, clerk, leased the said parsonage to Thomas Culpeper or not, but at the end of his evidence he says he knows and did see the said Thomas Culpeper come to the said Williams clerk for to have a mattock from him which he claimed to be his mattock and thereupon the said Thomas Culpeper and William clerk fell out and made a fray together, but who was in the fault, this deponent knows not.
Thomas Bray, yeoman of Burstow deposed that he knows not whether the parsonage was leased to Thomas Culpeper or not "And he says that the said William clerk in the house of this deponent required the said Thomas Culpeper that he might have his rent of the said parsonage to him due, and thereupon they multiplied words together, and then the said Thomas Culpeper broke the brow of the said William, clerk, with the shaft of a knife so that the blade ran down his face in the presence of this deponent. And he says by the report of one William Playce and Robert Fulcher late of Burstow that the said Thomas Culpeper did assent the said William, clerk, to have a mattock from him which was the proper good of the said clerk, and then the said Culpeper gave the said William, clerk a blow or two with a staff for he was not able to sing mass for a fortnight after, and thereupon the said clerk plucked the said Culpeper down by the beard in the sight of the wife of the said Culpeper who with one or two of her servants came running to help to beat the said William clerk, so that he was forced to cry to the said William Playce and Robert Fulcher for aid. How be it the said Culpeper took away the said mattock by force, and by report the said Culpeper drew his dagger at another time to strike the said William, clerk, and more he cannot depose.
