      ** Is this Anna Elizabeth Ferguson (especially the death date) being confused with Elizabeth Ferguson who married Peter Culp (John's brother) ??**
      -------------------------------------------------------------------
      According to www.davidculp.com research:
      Had three sons and two males were living with him aged 26 and 16 in the 1800 census. His son George was also on the 1800 census as being married with children in a separate household. That leaves sons Peter and Henry. Peter is believed to have been born about 1770 and wasn't married until 1804. He was probably living with John in 1800 and listed as 26. That leaves this Henry as being 16 in 1800, making his birth year 1784 and too young to be Henry Culp Sr. who had children born in the 1790's. This information is important later because there are:

      Too Many Henrys!

      John Kolb Culp

      Birth: 1750 North Carolina, USA ?? NC?
      Death: 17 Apr 1809 (aged 58–59) Cabarrus County, North Carolina, USA
      Burial: Saint Johns Evangelical Lutheran Church Cemetery, Concord, Cabarrus County, North Carolina, USA
      Memorial #: 194203683
      Bio:
      John Culp was the Son of Hans Casper Culp and Anna Felicitas. John was married twice. The name of name of his first wife is unknown. His second wife was Anna Elizabeth. In about 1770 John Culp came to the German section of Mecklenburg County, N.C., which later in 1792 became Cabarrus County, N.C. This German Settlement was around Saint Johns Lutheran Church that is nearest to Mount Pleasant, N.C., but in present day has as the location address that of Concord, N.C. During the Revolutionary years the German community surrounding Saint Johns Lutheran Church was very much in favor of the Cause of Liberty, and John Culp is recorded as such as his name is listed as J. Culp in the North Carolina Army Account Books which is located in the North Carolina State Archives. [NOTE: The records on the American Revolution were discovered by John E. F. Misenheimer, II, Historian and Genealogist in the N.C. State Archives].

      John Culp's children were: (1) George Culp, born ca. 1772, married Barbara Guthmann/Goodman, born 1777; (2) Hannah Culp; (3) Peter Culp, born 1776; (4) Henry Cup, born 1780; (5) Elizabeth Culp; (6) John Culp; (7) Unknown daughter, born ca, 1770/1775 (This daughter is not mentioned in John Culp's will when it was probated. John Culp died in 1809. The unknown daughter was the 1st wife of John Tobias Goodman. She died between 1793 to 1806, and sometime after the birth of their son, John Goodman, in 1793.)

      When John Culp died in 1809, his living children by his first wife, George and Hannah, sued Peter, Henry, Elizabeth and John, children of the 2nd wife, to force them to probate John Culp's Last Will.

      George Culp received a grant for 33 acres in Cabarrus County, N.C. on the waters of Buffalo Creek next to Christian Goodman's line on March 1, 1792.

      John Goodman, (1793 - 1867), who was the son of Miss (Given Name Unknown) Culp and John Tobias Goodman, married Susanna Summers (1801 - 1876), the daughter of Zachariah Summers and Sarah Dawson. They lived in the Amity Hill section of Iredell County, N.C. on Withrow's Creek. Their son James A. Goodman married Lunda Margaret Goodman, a distant cousin. She was the daughter of Michael Goodman and Sarah Poutz. James and Lunda's son, James William Goodman. married Etta Corinna Little of Stanfield, Stanly County, N.C. Etta was the daughter of Daniel Ransom Little and Rebecca Pur.

      In the 1500's, the Kolb's/Culp's were Anabaptists and fled Switzerland to avoid persecution for their religion. They went first to Germany, then to Holland, and then to America. In Germany, the name was Kolb. The first new generation in America Americanized the name to Culp.

      Hans Casper Culp, came to America with his three brothers and Mr. Alexander Mack, a founder of the German Baptists denomination, and a group of his followers. They arrived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, on the ship "Allen" in 1729.

      Hans Casper Culp received a warrent for land on the Great Swamo in Bucks County, Pa., in 1735. He sold this land to Ulrich Spinner in 1739. Hans Casper Culp received warrents for land in 1739 and in 1740 in "Tohickon" in Bucks County.

      Hans Casper Culp was in Anson County, N.C. (that part which becane became Chester County, S.C.) where his Uncle Jonathan was living as early as 1753. In 1753, he received a warrent for 300 acres on the west side of the Catawba River adjoining his own line. In 1754, he received a grant for 987 acres of land. Records indicate that a number of "Tunkers" (German Baptist Brethern) settled in the neighborhood of Beaver Creek in 1748. The Beaver Creek Church was near Hans Casper Culp's plantaion.

      Hans Casper Culp was born 1701 in Mannheim, Baden, Germany. His father was Peter Kolb, born 1671 in Wolfsheim, Pfalz, Germany.

      Hans Casper Culp's wife was Anna Falicitas. Their children were: 1) Henry Culp; 2) Augustian Culp; 3) John Culp, born 1750; 4) Mary Culp; 5) Barbara Culp; 6) Margaret Culp; 7) Cathren Culp; 8) Benjamin Culp, born 1741 in Chester County, S.C.; and 9) Peter Culp.
