I am hoping to find more information on this family. In the 1880 Berne/fairfield County, Oh census the family is listed as follows.

William R. Culp , farmer age 52, Caroline E. age 43, son John C. 16 at school, son Thomas E. age 14, son Harry Verner age 12, son Walter age 10, daughter Mary age 6, son Bertie age 4, daughter Bettie infant, Jacob Culp father age 88 (born in WV) widow........

Was wondering if anyone has information on this family. and who was Jacob's wife, ect. There are alot of Culp's in this area, and getting confused where this William and Jacob fall in.

Thank you

Hi Melonie,
William R. Culp was my g-g-grandfather's brother. Their father was Jacob Culp and their mother was Mary Radibaugh (Radebaugh, etc.) A word of caution, there were two Jacob Culps in Fairfield Co. at the same time and they both had wives named Mary and sons named Jacob. You can fine a pretty good explanation of this at Dave Culp's website www.nlenx.com/DaveC/twojacob.htm. You can e-mail me at spullan@sbcglobal.net if you would like me to send you a Family Group Sheet for their father's family. I really haven't been able to find much on the father, Jacob, or his father. If, since you first posted your message you have discovered any new information, I'd sure like to have it. Thanks.
