(TAG 31P129-137)

It is often said that Edward Culver was a scout in King Philips War in 1676. However he would have been over 60 years old at the time. Most likely this reference should go to his son, Edward.
(TAG 31P129-137)

in 1881 James P Snell in "A History of Sussex and Warren Counties, New Jersey" stated that John Culver, born England 1575-1580 had 3 sons; John who remained in England, Edward who emigrated to America in 1635 and Joseph who emigrated to Ireland. We do not have any source records for this.

A book by Frederic Lathrop Culver written in the late 1800's gives a genealogy of Edward Culver going back to Edward Culver of Kensington Parish, Middlesex, England who married in 1549. There are no source records and the book as a whole is considered unreliable.
