The visitation pedigrees enter him as 'slayne in Holland,' and it seems likely that he died fighting under Sir Francis Vere, perhaps in the wild foray on Crudenburg on August 22, 1595 (See Markham, The Fighting Veres, 214).

     This Thomas, though from the Inquisition it would appear that he was born 25 Dec 1598, is presumably the Thomas baptized at St. Mary Woolchurch, Haw, on 4 Jan 1600/1, and was probably the Sir Thomas Culpeper knighted at Whitehall 10 Dec 1628. From the Visitation of Sussex in 1634 he married Elizabeth, daughter of ___ Goodridge, of ___ in co. York, sister to Henry Goodridge, by whom he had the following children, all baptized at Folkington on the dates given:
     (i) Anne, daughter of Thomas Culpepper, Knight, 21 Jun 1632. She married at Wilmington, 1 Aug 1648, John Honey, of Ditchling, gent., but died s.p., and was buried at Wilmington 4 Apr 1649.
     (ii) John, son of Thomas Culpepper, Knight, 18 Feb 1663/4.
     (iii) Francis, son of Thomas Culpepper, Knight, 16 Jun 1635.
     (iv) William, son of Thomas Culpepper, Knight, 26 Oct 1637.

     His wife Elizabeth was buried at Folkington 5 May 1638, and Sir Thomas himself was buried there 19 Mar 1638/9.3 
Probate30 Jul 1639 Probate action was taken on Thomas's estate on 30 Jul 1639 at Winchester, Hampshire, England,

He left no will, but by an Inquest P.M., the jurors found that:
     On a day before the death of the said Sir Thomas Culpeper, a certain John Culpeper (John Culpeper of Riverhead in Seven Oaks, co. Kent) father of the aforesaid Thomas was in his lifetime seized in fee simple of the manor of Pennington Mewsey alias Pennyton Mewsey with appurtenances in the county of Southampton, and of and in one messuage (dwelling house) and one carucate of land (as much land as could be tilled by a team of eight oxen in one year) with appurtenances (rights) in the parish of Pennington Mewsey alias Pennyton Mewsey, lately the lands of William Peverell, and that the aforesaid John Culpeper by Indenture dated 1 May 4 James, late King of England (1606) made between the aforesaid John Culpeper by the name of John Culpeper of Pennington co. Southampton Esq. and Anne (Ann Scott of Seven Oaks, Kent) his wife of the first part and George Scott and Edmund Scott of the other part agreed with the said George and Edmund Scott that he and the said John and Anne his wife should before Easter term next ensuing levy a fine of all the premises to the use of the aforesaid John Culpeper and Anne his wife for the terms of their lives, and after their decease to the use of their heirs male, with remainder to the right heirs of the aforesaid John. And the said fine was accordingly levied by which fine and Indenture and Act of Parliament of 4 Feb 27 Henry VIII (1536), the aforesaid John Culpeper and Anne his wife were seized of the aforesaid manor in lordship as of a free tenement for the term of their lives. The aforesaid John Culpeper was also seized of the advowson, Rectory and Church of Pennington Mewsey alias Pennyton Mewsey, and having issue by the aforesaid Anne, (John) died on 6 Oct 5 James (1607) and that the aforesaid Anne survived him, and is yet living. After the death of the said John the advowson of Pennington Mewsey and the reversion of the premises descended to the aforesaid Sir Thomas Culpeper Knight named in the brief and afterwards he had a release out of the hands of the King of so much of the premises as devolved on the King by the death of the aforesaid John Culpeper. The aforesaid Sir Thomas Culpeper died on 6 Mar last past and John Culpeper Esq. (John Culpeper of Riverhead in Seven Oaks, co. Kent) is his son and next heir, and at the time of the death of Thomas Culpeper his father was aged 5 years 2 months and 21 days. The aforesaid Anne widow of the aforesaid John is still alive. The Manor of Pennington Mewsey is held of the King as of the heredity of Sir Thomas Seymor Knight, who died without heirs, by military service and is worth 20s per annum. The messuage and carucate is held of the King as of his honour of Gloucester by military service and is worth 5s. The advowson is held of the King in capite and is worth nothing because it is filled.4

Biography* The second son of Sir Thomas Culpeper, John, born in 1663/4, seems to have settled at Riverhead, in Sevenoaks, as in 1653 there is an Indenture between Anne Hay, of Riverhead, and John Culpeper, of Riverhead, gent., which witnesses that for the natural love and affection which she bears to her said grandson, John Culpeper, she has granted him all those messuages (houses) called the George and the Royal Exchange Tavern, situated against the Stocks, in the parish of St. Mary Woolchurch, London. There appears to have been several dealings with this property between the brothers, for a few years later John, son and heir of John Culpeper, late of Riverhead, deceased, complains that whereas Francis Culpeper, late of ____, deceased, was seized about 9 Nov 1656 of a messuage in St. Mary Woolchurch, and by Indenture, 1 Nov 1656 between the said Francis Culpeper and John Culpeper, father of your orator for £60, and in consideration of the natural love and affection which he, Francis, did beare unto his name and blood, did covenant that he, Francis, should stand seized of the premises for the use of himself and his heirs, and in default of issue to the said John Culpeper, the father, being the brother of the said Francis, and his heirs male, and in default to his right heirs. About Aprl 1668, the said Francis married Mary Wigge, spinster, and about July 1669, the said Francis died without issue, and about 1670, Mary, wife of the said Francis, died. The property had been destroyed in 1666 by the dreadful fire in London. About the time of the fire your orator’s father died, leaving your orator an infant about 12 years old. And now Thomas Wigge, Sr., Thomas Wigge, Jr., and a whole horde more have got hold of the site, which they claim under Mary Culpeper’s will.

In 1658 there is an Indenture between William Colepeper, citizen and leather-seller, of London, and John Colepeper, of Riverhead, gent. For £400 William has sold to John the premises known as Gridiron, lying as the Stockes over against the market place, in the parish of St. Mary Woolchurch, with all that passage heretofore part of the said messuage and used for and as a shop or warehouse, but lately converted into an entry passage or way into the Taverne adjoining called the Royal Exchange.
.
John Culpeper, of Sevenoaks, died about 1663 and administration of his effects was granted on 16 Jul in that year to Frances, his relict. By her he had two children: John and Frances.

Hants, at St. Olave, Marygate, York, 18 Jun 1653. Her will is as follows:

The children mentioned in Mary Culpeper’s will were her children by her first husband, William Ellis, and Lady Chester was William Ellis’s sister, Mary, who married Sir Anthony Chester, Bart., of Chicheley, co. Bucks, from which the inference is that Thomas and Mary Culpeper had no children.

Biography* He was baptized in Harrietsham, December 8, 1575, as 'Thomas, filius Francisci Culpep'. On October 15, 1591, he matriculated at Hart Hall, Oxford, 'aged 16' (Foster) ; and on May 15, 1594, was entered at the Middle Temple as 'Mr. Thomas, third son of Francis Culpeper, late of Hollingbourne, Kent, esq., deceased' (Hopwood, i, 343). He commenced parliamentman soon after he came of age, and is shown by the Official Returns of M. P.s 1878 to have been successively burgess for Rye (1597), Winchelsea (1601), Chippenham, co. Wilts (1614), and Tewkesbury, co. Glouc. (1628). He was knighted by James I, September 19, 1619 (Nichols, Progresses of James I, iii, 568). In 1621 he presented to parliament, and subsequently published, a Tract against the high rate of Usurie in which be argued for a reduction of the legal rate of interest from 10% to 7% (D. N. B. re-issue, v:287; Wood, Athenae Oxon, iii, 533, where his parliamentary activities are confused with those of the first Lord Culpeper). This tract, supplemented by a similar argument by Francis Bacon in 1625, resulted in the act of 21 Jac. I, c. 17, reducing the rate of interest to 8%: but he kept up the fight for 6% and reprinted his tract in 1642 (It was subsequently reprinted also in 1668, both by his son and as an appendix to Sir Josiah Child's well known Discourse on Trade; and in 1754 was translated into French). For these public services Cambridge University created him M.,A. in March, 1635/6 (Venn, i, 431).

Having by his marriage greatly enhanced his paternal estate, in 1623 he purchased from his cousin Sir John, later first Lord Culpeper, the ancestral seat of Wigsell and settled it upon his eldest son, Cheney; and in 1632 purchased Leeds Castle also, and settled it upon his two surviving sons in tail male.

During the Troubles he 'stood for his King' and while 'never in arms' was deemed by the Parliament a malignant; and, despite the interest of his eldest son, was required to compound for his estate, paying on April 30, 1646, the large fine of £1318 (Cal. Committee for Compounding, ii, 1235, 1289). The last record of him is a petition to the Crown immediately after the Restoration for a lease of the profits of a sinecure post 'to him and his youngest son, to repair the ruin of his family by their loyalty' (Cal. State Papers, Dom. 1665-66, p. 143, where this petition, being undated, is doubtfully attributed to 1665. The reference to the 'youngest son' is evidence that the petitioner was Sir Thomas 'the elder' and so the petition must have been made before his death in January, 1661/2).

After his wife's death he rebuilt and dedicated to his family an ancient chapel at, the east end of the north aisle of Hollingbourne Church, which he embellished with monuments. There he was buried January 27, 1661/2 (recorded in the parish register as 'Sir Thomas Culpeper, Knight') but although he had composed MI.'s for all his family, there was none to perform that office for him.5 
Biography Sir Thomas Culpeper, the elder (1578-1662), writer on usury in Elizabeth’s reign, was only son of Francis Culpeper. He purchased from Sir Warham St. Leger the manors of Greenway Court and Elnothington, near Hollingbourne, Kent, and resided on the former.

His father, Francis, the second son of William Culpeper of Lossenham, married Joan, daughter of John Pordage of Rodmersham, Kent. He died in 1591 at the age of fifty-three and was buried at Hollingbourne Church.

Thomas, born in 1578, became a commoner of Hart Hall, Oxford, in 1591; left the university without a degree; entered himself as a student at one of the Inns of Court; purchased Leeds Castle, Kent, and lived either there or at Greenway Court for the rest of his life. James I knighted him 23 Sep 1619 (Nichols, Progresses of James I, iii. 568).

In 1630 he began writing his Tract against the high rate of Usury, and published it after having presented it to parliament in 1621. Culpeper argues that ten percent, which was the legalized rate of interest at the time, was too high for commerce or morality, and argued for its reduction to six percent. The subject came before parliament in 1623 and 1624. Ultimately the rate of interest was reduced to eight per cent. (21 Jac. I, c. 17). Bacon, whose essay on usury was first published in 1625, demanded a reduction to five percent. Culpeper's tract was reprinted in 1641, and twice in 1668 - first by Sir Josiah Child as an appendix to his Discourse of Trade, and secondly by Culpeper's son. It was translated into French with Sir Josiah Child's book in 1754.

Culpeper married Elizabeth, daughter of John Cheney of Guestling, Sussex, by whom he had three sons and eight daughters. He died in January 1661/2, and was buried in Hollingbourne Church 25 Jan.

The eldest son, Cheney, inherited Leeds Castle, which was entailed, but with the consent of his surviving brother he cut off the entail and sold the estate to his cousin John, Lord Culpeper. The second son, Francis, died young.12
