  Notes	He acquired approx. 1,300 acres of land. This excerpt from p. 39 in the book, "Helms Descendants 1720 - 1991" by Gerald Helms and others may help explain why James' middle name was Culpepper: "The Meadow Branch was organized in 1810, is also one of the oldest churches in Union County. Its name was recently changed to Wingate Baptist Church. Among the settlers of the county just after the Revolutionary War were Sikes, Williams, Bivens, all of whom were from Baptist communities. The Gourdvine Church, near this territory, lost influence; consequently, in 1810 the Meadow Branch was organized. A church building was erected one mile north of the present town of Wingate. The charter members whose descendants still live in the community, came from the Gourdvine Church. JOHN CULPEPPER was among its early ministers, and there conducted services on Sundays, sometimes during the week."
