This sounds like it may fit the puzzle. the name Thomas (James ?) Lorenzo Capers is what
is listed. The family story is that there is some how a name change that is involved but
none of the current family seems to know what is meant by that or if it is just rumored.
I know that at one time this branch lived around the Red River and that there was more
then one brother. The date of birth I have for Thomas is 1854 and that he was born in LA.
My cousin also gave the the years 1849 and 1859. He married Sarah Addeline (Scrap) Davis
b. 1863 in MI and died in 1901 or 1902. Does any of this information match any of the
information that you have.
