Much of this information comes from the book "The Story of Stella and more- Pioneer Community of Newton County, Missouri - Book Two," written by the Stella Historical Society (President Blanche Pogue Clanton), published by Litho Printers, Cassville, MO (ca. 1989). Information about John Culp is in Chapter 7 titled "Cartmell," page 151.
Philpina was born in Cabarrus County, North Carolina to John Culp (ca 1797) and Harriet Gross Shandy Culp (ca 1794). Her mother was a widow when she married John Culp in 1819. Philpina had two half sisters from her mother's first marriage - Nancy Shandy (who married George Eagle) and Lydia Shandy (who married John Moyer).
Philipina married Elias Link on October 3, 1843, in Cabarrus County, NC. Elias and his father, David Link, were blacksmiths who also owned a general store in Gold Hill, NC.
John Culp and his family, including his married children were members of a group of 60 persons traveling in 10 covered wagons who migrated to Newton and McDonald county, Missouri in 1856. The trip was made without accident or any loss of lives. The caravan stopped every Sunday for a day of rest for the people and their animals. Some of the families who came in this caravan were William Culp and family, Elias Link and family, Moses Eagle and family, Carrel Kirk and family, Jesse Hodge and family, John L. Moyer and family, and John Culp and family. It is unknown why these people decided to migrate to Missouri. Some say they were dissatisfied with the conditions of the south. Family tradition says it took eleven months for this trip. This is understandable since there were no roads at that time, only trails and paths made by animals. After arriving in Missouri the families lived in their wagons until they could clear land and build homes.
John and Harriet Culp died sometime between 1860- 1866. They may be buried in the Culp Cemetery, which is located on the old John Culp homestead. There are no markers for them.
Philpina and Elias had eight children. Two died very young and share a headstone with Philpina and Elias in the Culp Cemetery. Records say Philpina died in 1866, but the headstone seems to show 1865.
Two of Philpina's brothers are buried in the Culp Cemetery - Henry (and his wife, Barbara Anne Melchor Culp) and Alexander Culp (and his wife Mary Elizabeth "Bettie" Hodge Culp) . Also there is her brother-in-law, George Eagle. George's wife, Nancy died later and went back to NC, where she is buried.
