Culpeper, John 1678-
Surveyor-general in the Carolinas; born in England; in 1678 headed an insurrection in the Albemarle or North Colony in favor of popular liberty.
Led by him, the people deposed the officers appointed by the proprietaries, seized the public funds, appointed new officers, and organized a new government.
Sent to England to effect a compromise, Culpeper was indicted for high treason, but through the influence of the Earl of Shaftesbury he was acquitted.
He returned to the Carolinas, and in 1680 laid the foundations of the city of Charleston.
