Male, #8794, (before 23 Dec 1605 - 1674)
Father*Canon Edmund Culpeper of Lincoln
Mother*Marye (?) of Berkshire, England
DNA* From DNA and genealogical evidence we conclude that Rev. William Culpeper of England and Barbados is a member of the International branch whose most recent common ancestor is either William Culpeper of Hunton and Wigsell, or the Rev. William Culpeper of Barbados.

Marriage*30 Apr 1633 He married Margaret Alleyne of England and Barbados at Stowting, co. Kent, England, on 30 Apr 1633. 
Birth of Sonafter 1633 His son Abel Culpeper of Barbados was born after 1633. 
Birth of Sonafter 1633 His son John Alleyne Culpeper of Barbados was born after 1633. 
Birth of Son1635 His son Thomas Culpeper of Barbados was born in 1635 at England.

Birth of Sonbefore 1663 His son Francis Culpeper of Barbados was born before 1663. 
Death*1674 He died at Barbados in 1674. 
Biography* [From an e-mail message to Warren Culpepper from Lew Griffin, 22 Jun 1998]: Fairfax Harrison thought the line probably went back to Edmund (1547-post 1605)... (See Edmund's biography for Harrison's comments.)
     This William was the one who married Margaret Allen or Alleyne, and was the father of John Alleyne Culpepper of Barbados, the one (who some think) is one and the same as John of Albemarle.
     The only source I have on this family is "Genealogies of Barbados Families" and that only gives a sketchy account of William's children as part of an extensive article on the Alleyne family. It suggests that William had the following children (no proof offered): Abel, Alleyne, John Alleyne, Francis, and Margaret.
     So my first question would be, were there really two different sons, one named Alleyne, and the other, John Alleyne ? Can these two men (if there really were two) be distinguished in Barbados records? Does this John Alleyne Culpepper disappear from Barbados records at the same time that "John the Rebel" showed up in Charleston, SC, or in Albemarle? If for instance, he was still merrily engaged in land transactions in Barbados while John the Rebel was known to have been in NC, then that would be worth knowing, and would prove that they were two different men. Also, if there is no evidence in Barbados of TWO brothers, one John Alleyne and the other just Alleyne, that would be worth knowing. Because of the unusual naming pattern, I have my doubts about their being two men, I think it is possible that John Alleyne just went by the "Alleyne" and dropped the John. So I would need to see more evidence than I currently have on this before just assuming that John the Rebel was John Alleyne. If he were John Alleyne, then why didn't he use the Alleyne or initial "A" in any records found so far in NC? Also, which of these sons of William is the ancestor of Culpeppers who still live in the West Indies?
Crest of the Barbados Culpepers reads: J'espere

Probate1591 Probate action was taken on Francis's estate in 1591

Prob. by proctor of Thomas Cullpepper esq. one of the exors. Power reserved for Johane the relict, John Tufton & John Culpepper esquires, also exors. To this was added contemporaneously the following testimony:
     Inquisition taken at Sittingbourne 1 Oct. [1591] found that Francis Colepeper Esq. died seized of the manor of Greenway Court in Hollingbourne and Harrietsham, held of the Dean and Chapter of Canterbury by the rent of £3.12.8. and worth £26.13.4. per ann. and of a water mill at Harrietsham called Holme myll held of the same and worth 40s. p. ann. and of a messuage, barn and 12 acres of land in Hawkhurst Kent, held of the said Dean and Chapter worth 40s. p. ann; And of the manor of Penton alias Pennyngton in the County of Southampton held in free socage as of the town of Andover and worth £20 p. ann. The said Francis Colepeper made his Will 20 May 32 Eliz.and died the last of May 32 Eliz. John Colepeper, gent is his son and next heir and of the age of 23 years and more at the taking of this Inquisition. Joan the widow of Francis is still living. Francis Colepeper's sons Walter and Thomas are also mentioned.4 
Biography* Francis was named in his father's will (1559) as 'ffraunces Culpeper, my second son,' after he had already begun his career. Entered at Winchester School at the age of 13, he secured, in 1553, an appointment as a Scholar on the foundation, being recorded of 'Hunton, Kent' (Kirby, Winchester Scholars, 1888, p. 132). Thence he went on as an approved Wykhamist to New College, Oxford, where he was in residence from 1558-60 on a scholarship of that foundation. But, unlike his younger brother Martin, who thus far had emulated his career, Francis now abandoned the shades of Academe and, as the New College record has it, resigned his scholarship, and 'contulit se ad studium juris regni.'

He may have betaken himself to Clements Inn, where his eldest son later pursued preliminary law studies, but Francis is not himself enrolled as a member of any one of the Inns of Court, nor is there other record that he followed a professional career; indeed, there is nothing more to testify for him at all until, in his thirty-fourth year, he took up his residence in Kent in the vicinity of the Hunton manor house of his boyhood.

The baptism of his second son (1573) and the burial of his first wife (1574) at Harrietsham indicate that it was in 1572 that he inaugurated his family's landholding in the Len valley, by purchasing from his 'cousin,' Sir Warham St. Leger, the manor of Greenway Court. There he maintained his residence for twenty years, and thence he was buried, in Hollingbourne, June 1, 1591, as 'ffraunces Culpeper, generos.' His youngest son subsequently erected for him and his second wife the first of the Culpeper MI.'s in Hollingbourne church, as follows:

"Franciscus Culpeper de Greeneway Court Ar(miger) Filius S(e)c(un)dus Willemi de Wigsell, et Joanna uxor ejus, Filia Joh(ann) is Pordage de Rodmersham, Ar(miger), expectant hic adventum D(omi) ni et properari orant. Ille. ultimo Maij A. D. 1591, aetat 53, Illa, xxmo Martij A. D. 1597 aetat 60, in coelum rediit. Exiguum. hoc officii et amoris ergo posuit Thomas unicus iis communis filius; et eorum piae et integrae vitae memoria suae, et suis exemplar vivat precatur.5'

Death*circa 9 Oct 1605 He died circa 9 Oct 1605. 
Burial*10 Oct 1605 His body was interred on 10 Oct 1605 at Feckenham, Worcestershire, England.3 
Biography* He was named in his father's will (1559) as 'Martin Culpeper, my third son.' He was sent to Winchester school in 1553 when he was 13, and the following year, like his brother Francis, was appointed a Scholar on Bishop Wykham's foundation, being then recorded as born at Barfreston, Kent (Kirby, Winchester Scholars, 1888, p. 132) . Thence he proceeded to New College, Oxford, again on a Scholarship of the foundation, and there made an academic career of the highest distinction. While he took orders, he specialized in medicine. Foster (Alumni Oxon) collects his degrees and preferments as 'Fellow of New Coll Oxon., 1559-68; B.A., 1562; M.A., 1566; B.Med., 1568; D.Med., 1571; Warden of New Coll., 1573-99; Vice Chancellor, 1578; rector of Stanton St. John, co. Oxford, 1576; dean of Chichester, 1577-1601; rector of Colern, co. Wilts, 1588; archdeacon of Berks, with rectory of North Moreton, 1598.'

On the profits of these pluralities, he made several important acquisitions of real estate, including the purchase, in 1595, of the manor of Astwood in Feckenham, co. Worcester (Victoria County History, Worcestershire, iii, 115), which he intended to make the capital seat of his descendants

He had married, probably in 1578, Lettice, dau. of Humphrey Clarke of Westhalks in Kingsnorth, co. Kent (the m. is noted in the pedigree of Clarke of Westhalks, returned at the Visitation of Kent, 1619) ; and by her had Sir Martin, 1580-1604, of Deane, co. Oxon.

A year after burying his eldest son, and a few weeks after burying his only grandson, Dr. Martin Culpeper came himself to die, and, after making a will, was buried in Feckenham, October 10, 1605, being recorded in the parish register as 'Martin Culpeper, Doctr. in physicke.' There is no MI., but his will (above) testifies for him.

This will shows that in the last weeks of his life Dr. Culpeper realized the disappointment of an ambition to establish his own issue at Astwood as a new and enduring house of Culpeper; and therefore, to that end, turned his face towards that 'John Culpeper of the Middle Temple, London, utter barrister, my nephew,' (John Culpeper of Astwood in Feckenham, co. Worcs.) whom he named one of his trustees and executors, and who was a younger son of the testator's own eldest brother. Contemplating the failure of issue male by his surviving son, Sir Stephen, he provided that, "...after my said wifes's death, the manor of Astwood, parsonage of Feckenharn and lands in Hanborow shall come to my said nephew John Culpeper for life and if he have issue a son, fee simple of said lands to said son..."

Thus it was that after the death of Sir Stephen in 1611, a younger son of John of Wigsell, himself the father of two sturdy boys, became 'of Feckenham,' with the confident expectation of realizing his uncle's ambition for that house and of rooting his name in Worcestershire. He could not foresee the civil wars already brewing, and the consequence that both his sons were destined to die in the far distant Virginia in which that John had himself inaugurated a family interest.3
