• Notes

  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ According to www.davidculp.com research: Too Many Henrys! Casper Kolb (Kulp) had several sons. One of these sons was named Henry (1747(?)- 1783(?)). He is listed in Hans Casper's will and mentioned in the Captain Bill, Book 3, A Genealogy of the Catawba River Valley of South Carolina, by Robert J. Stevens*. He apparently purchased land on September 21, 1768 and sold land in 1772 in Craven County. SC. He died circa 1783 in Camden District, N.C. I believe he had a son named Henry who was eventually from Rowan County, North Carolina. This could be the Henry Culp Sr. (1777-1853) who later came to Tennessee and was the father of Henry Jr. (1802-1887). I have seen some written research that shows Hans Casper's son Henry as being born 1775-1777 thereby making the connection to Henry Sr. but skipping a generation. This is obviously incorrect, as Hans Casper was already dead in 1775 or 77 when Henry Sr. was born. Some research shows Hans Casper's son Henry as married to Barbara. He had a sister named Barbara but I have never confirmed the wife's name. Sister Barbara was Barbara Culp McKinney who was scalped by Indians. See this informative website: Life On The Frontier There is always confusion over how the second generation Henry (1777-1853) was called Henry "Senior". This is actually pretty easy if you consider Henry Sr. moved his very young children to Tennessee in 1805. They would have never known their grandfather who was long ago dead and with a Henry Jr. in the family there would have been confusion without calling the eldest Henry present "senior". ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- found at http://www.davidculp.com/genealogy.htm Henry Culp 1st* born 1738/39 in Pennsylvania died circa 1800 in Rowan County, North Carolina, burial place unknown. He was married and spouse's name was Barbara. Note: On the 1800 Rowan County census, Henry and son Adam, age 20 were living alone. Offspring with Barbara were: Hannah Culp Earnhart (1774-?) Born on Fishing Creek, South Carolina. Married George Earnhart in August 1793 in Rowan County, North Carolina. (William) Henry Culp Sr. (1776/77-1853) Married Sarah Mary in 1797 in Rowan County, North Carolina Elizabeth Culp Swink (1778-?) Married George Swink in January 1796 in Rowan County, North Carolina. Adam Culp (1780-Before1840) Married Abigail in 1803/04 in Rowan County, North Carolina. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
