Biography* Dr. Charles Lee Culpepper, Sr. recorded W. R. Culpepper's date of birth as "Sept. 9th, 1856." The Culpepper Heritage Association has "Sept. 19th, 1856." Mrs. James L. (Vivian Hastings) Culpepper noted the tombstone in Mt. Olive Cemetery, Lavaca Co., TX in a 24 Sep 1978 letter: W. R. Culpepper 1857 - 1861
      Mrs. Culpepper noted that this "could be son of Wm. & 1st wife Vasti or son of D. F. E. & Maryann." This child does not show up in the census records of either family but there are questions about both families in the 1860 census since Daniel appeared to be listed twice and William was listed with a woman, Mary Culpepper, who has not been identified. Mrs. Travis (Jacquline Lorenz) McClinton recorded the tombstone in her Mt. Olive Cemetery records as: W. R. Culpepper 1857 - 1867
      The tombstone is recorded on p. 52 of Lavaca Co., TX - Cemetery Records Vol. I by Sammy Tise as: CULPEPPER, W. R. 1857-1867
      The child was buried next to another child, "J. N." Culpepper, who is buried next to Mary Ann (Guthrie) Culpepper.
