She is also a devoted wife and mother of three daughters. Barbara, who is about to turn 42 years old, is expected to give birth to the newest Cupp baby in September 2010.

                     Charity (Cupps) Watson – Charity is the oldest daughter of The Cupps. She was born on Barbara’s birthday and Troy and Barbara’s 3rd wedding anniversary. She was both a birthday and anniversary present to The Cupps. Charity’s talent was first discovered at the age of 8 years old in the state of Virginia, when her mother got laryngitis and could not do her last performance. When Charity took the stage, the place came unglued, even surprising her own parents. She served as The Cupps secretary and has worked in church secretarial work since her teens. Charity is an anointed singer that’s very intelligent, talented, and loved by all that meet her. She sings lead, alto, and tenor. Charity married Mathew Watson in March of 2007 and continued singing with The Cupps for one year before leaving the road. Then in June 2008, she gave birth to The Cupps first grandson, Titus Blake Watson. Although Charity is not traveling and singing live with The Cupps at this time, she still sings background vocal on their cds.

                     Mathew Watson – Mathew is the son of Jimmy and Judy Watson in Florala, AL. He and Charity met at a youth camp in Western KY. Mathew is a young preacher and singer that plays rhythm guitar, banjo, piano, and bass guitar. After Mathew and Charity were married, he traveled with The Cupps for about a year before leaving the road. His talents added more zest to The Cupps ministry. Mathew, Charity, and Titus now live in Corinth, MS. 

                     Sarah Cupps – Sarah is the second daughter born to the Cupps in June of 1992. At the age of 5 years old, she was known to be one of the nations youngest harmony singers with perfect pitch. Sarah together with Charity and her cousin Chris Cupps formed their own group known as “The New Cupps.” They received several awards and standing ovations for their harmony, blend, and phasing. Sarah, who takes after her mother, is a very anointed singer that is sure to bless you.

                      

                     Hannah Cupps – Hannah is the youngest child of The Cupps. She is only 8 years old, but after talking with her, you would think she’s a lot older.
