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.
