EV. PETER CULPEPPER was a minister of prominence in A. D. 1800. Mr. William Peck of Raleigh, North Carolina, in 1835, had in his possession and transmitted to Rev. J. Burlingame of Coventry, Rhode Island, a pamphlet, "embracing important items in relation to the early history of the Church of the South." This pamphlet contained sixteen pages, and was published at Norfolk, Virginia, in 1806, by P. Culpepper, and was entitled, "A Key to the Mystery of Godliness, or an Answer to Mr. John West's Key to the Mystery of Iniquity, to which is added some remarks on an impartial view in behalf of the Christian Church below." He is said to have been an author of some repute. His answer to Elder West was an able sermon. He joined the reformers after the establishment of the Church in 1794, in which he began his ministerial labors. He lived in Virginia.
