His real estate was valued at $80,300. (thank you Richard Culler) The information below is found within the book History of Frederick County, Maryland, Volume 1 by Thomas John Chew Williams. Captain Henry Culler, son of Michael Culler, and grandfather of John J. Culler, was born on the old homestead near Jefferson, Md., where he spent thirty-five years of his life. His mind was quick and bright. He was a great student and kept himself well informed of subjects of general interest and importance. He was accounted one of the best financiers and farmers of that time, and it is certain that he accumulated a large estate and was a wealthy man for that period. He owned over twenty-seven hundred acres of land, four hundred which, situated near Jefferson was his home during a part of his declining years. The town of Feagaville is built upon a part of a farm of four hundred acres owned by Capt. Culler. Stores belonging to him were established at various enterprising towns such as Leesburg, Shepherdstown and Jefferson. He was also interested in agriculture, and was noted for his kindness to his numerous slaves, as well as to all the poor. Schools were built and almost entirely supported by him, and the first Lutheran Church erected in the fourteenth district, was founded and sustained by his generosity. When the old Frederick and Jefferson pike was constructed, he gave the enterprise his substantial encouragement, and was always read to encourage and support plans for public progress. He was several times engaged in milling and owned three different mills, at widely distinct points. He was aggressive in politics and voted with the Whig party. He was elected to the Maryland Legislature by his host of friends. In the War of 1812, he rose from the ranks to a captaincy, participated in the battle of North Point, and was an eye witness to the death of the sturdy General Ross.. Captain Henry Culler was married to Annie Feaster. Their children are: 1. Philip, a farmer and mill owner; 2. Daniel, a wealthy farmer, resided on the old homestead, dies aged eighty-five; 3. David, also a farmer, dies at the age of three score and ten; 4. Michael, a farmer, dies in 1898, in his seventy-seventh year; 5. Dr. J.J., deceased; 6.William, deceased; 7. Col. Henry, deceased, a very prominent man. Captain Henry Culler died in Jefferson, Md., February 1, 1861, and was buried beside his wife who died in 1857.
