County History and Geography

In the Inner Coastal Plain and the east-central part of North Carolina, Wilson County was formed in 1855 from Edgecombe, Nash, Johnston and Wayne Counties. Wilson, also the name of its county seat, is on US-301 and US-264, about 45 miles east of Raleigh. Wilson is bordered by the counties of Nash, Edgecombe, Pitt, Greene, Wayne and Johnston.

Census Records

No Culpeppers have been found in any Wilson County censuses prior to 1880.

1880 US Census

Note: The three single Culpepper sisters below  (Elizabeth-22, Delia-14, and Nannie-12) are each in a different household. The oldest daughter, Elizabeth, was apparently living with the family of her mother's sister. The other daughters' relationships to the families that they were with is unknown. Their mother Catherine was apparently deceased. However, their father, Henry H. Culpepper, was enumerated in the 1880 census in adjacent Nash County where in 1886 he then married Lourena Winters. Further research is needed.
