Biography

Henry Culp was born about 25 February 1762 (date derived from grave marker).

Henry married Dortha (last name unknown) in about 1780. They had about 8 children.

Henry died on 16 August in 1844.


Research Notes

Daniel Cassel's book includes an appendix, where he published letters he had gotten from Culp familes who could not be matched with the Culps in the body of the book. This is where we find two letters written by descendants of Christian Culp. The letters disagree on some details.

Date of marriage is only a guess, based on date of birth of first child, and 1780 looks like a better guess. Place of marriage is also a guess.

It has been theorized that Henry is the brother of Michael Culp, however there is no proof. Initial autosomal DNA results show that the theory may be correct. They are a Y-DNA match as well. More information on this possible connection can be found here.

Since there is no evidence of Henry's place of birth the reference to Pennsylvania should be removed.

I've hosted a research paper on the family of Henry Culp here: http://www.daveshangar.org/genealogy/Family_of_Henry.pdf

After asking at G2G about how to handle derived dates of birth, I think the best way to handle this is to pick a date of birth from one of the online date calculators (they disagree on the result) then mark the date as uncertain. In essence a derived DOB will always be uncertain since there are more than one way to calculate it and we don't know how it was originally calculated anyway.

Removed Johann Phillip Kolb as father of Henry Culp due to lack of evidence. There are three theories as to the parentage of Henry Culp: Johann, Heinrich and Christian. None of them has evidence.

I've seen no evidence concerning the parents of Henry Culp. Johann Phillip should be removed unless a source is shown.

I've seen no evidence that Henry was born in Pennsylvania. This should be marked "uncertain" until evidence is found.

The suffix "Sr." appears to be a later addition from genealogists for convenience. It has no source.

Henry's DOB appears to be derived from his grave marker, however when I run those numbers through online calculators specifically made for this I get 28 Feb 1762 with some and 25 Feb 1762 with others. Links:

It appears that Henry & Dorothea may have 'hooked up' during the war and married later after he was discharged due to 'family responsibilities'.

Henry was in the war? I've not seen the evidence for that. Where can I find it?
