Culver had died by 1860 and since Mr. Carpenter (Braxton Carpenter) was mentioned, it is assumed that there would be a family connection to Albert M. Culver as he married the daughter of Braxton, and this George W. Culver gave permission for the marriage. The probate record of Susan's probate application lists the names of many of Icabod as well as George's own brothers. This record is our proof that the eight brothers are sons of George W. Culver.
