At left is the voter registration record for Mrs. A. E. Thompson on October 2, 1920,  Notice that her husband, C. A. Thompson's name is also on the registry.  

​

Mrs. Thompson is one of 16 women of color in Culpeper who registered.  See them all on our VIRTUAL EXHIBIT.

Each of the counties had Civil War veterans - both Union and Confederate service men - who were first to register to vote.  A large percentage of the women registrants were direct relatives of armed forces veterans, including Lydia M. V. Marshall who had four sons who served in the military.
