NOTES
1). John Culpeper the Merchant By Bill Russell I would like to offer some theories that I have abo u t J o h n Culpeper of Lancaster the merchant. First, John was clearly a ship owner with business inte r e s t s throughout the colonies. He had been away from En gl a n d fo r some time when he returned to protect his bro the r s e stat e in 1651. Their interests were probably mor e en ta ngle d than just their common ownership of the Tho mas a n d John . It wo uld appear that they may have owne d a trad in g compa ny wit h points of presence in England , Barbados , N ew Engla nd, an d Virginia. Indeed, John pro bably had s on s or sons i n law i nthose places to carr y out their tr adi ng business . I suspe ct that Hannah wh o married Edwar d Fri sbie and Sus annah wh o married Franc is Lindley wer e both d aughters. Edw ard Frisb ie was fro m another promin ent merch ant trading fa mily in No rfol k County, VA and re moved to N ew England. Fra ncis Lindl e y ended up in New Je rsey afte r having lived i n New Eng land . I also believe t he John Cu lpeper the Carol ina Re bel wa s a son of Joh n the merchan t. Second, John the Merchant was also John the lawye r , a f a c t we sometimes overlook and which may go some w ay s to u nr av eling some of the confusion over the variou s J ohns. J oh n th e Merchant was at the Middle Temple a s wa s his brot he r Thom as. More importantly, he was ther e a t the same ti m e as Gov . Sir William Berkeley. I beli ev e that it was Jo h n the Merc hant who represented the l ega l interests of Fr an ces Culpepe r Stephens Berkeley be for e the courts in Nor t h Carolina an dwho attested to B erke ley s signature on t h e deed to Roano ke Island in Ne w Eng land. Who better to e nt rust to such a j ob than th e Gover nor s wife s uncle , a law yer who owned a s hip ab le to tr avel to North Carol ina an d New England on sho rt notice a nd who personally kn ew th e Governor. He mak e s a more log ical candidate for th e jo b than the relati ve yo ung Caro lina Rebel who had n o lega l training an d may no t have e ven reached North Caro lina b y the tim e in question. Third, John the Merchant had known trading interest s a n d p r esence in New England and Barbados. Charleston , S C wa s se tt led originally by groups from both place s an d it i s poss ibl e the John the Rebel was his father s rep resenta tive i n those areas. Culpeper s Rebellion i n Nort h Caroli na re ally A lbemarle , was fomented b y New Eng land merc hant tra ders. I f John the Merchant ha ndled th e sale of Ro anoke Isl and fo r Governor Berkeley , it is cl ear that th e Lamb famil y who purchased it wer e friends o f Sarah Mayo , John the Re bel s wi fe. From th e records i t would appea r that John th e Rebel ar rived i n Albemarl e after the Joh n Culpeper who w as in cour t i n the sale o f the property , yet the later buy ers were w ell familia r with John the R ebel s family. The L amb fam ily w ho boug ht Roanoke Islan d were also New Englan d mer chant tra der s who maintaine d a family presence in th e A lbemarle reg i on of North Caro lina. The above is partly theory based uponavailable rec o r d s . I believe that John the Merchant was the fathe r o f Ha nn a h and Susannah of New England, Henry of Virgi nia , an d Jo h n the Rebel. He may also have been the fath er o f som e o f th e Barbados Culpepers.
