It is possible you are a member of the greater South Carolina Capers family via East Baton
Rouge Parish,LA. Alonzo is a Capers family name. James Capers ( b.1788), a son of Major
George Sinclair Capers, moved from Sumter Co., South Carolina to St. Helena Parish ,LA
abt. 1828. He was a minister. One of his sons who accompanied him was Lucius Alonzo (b.
1815). Lucius later moved to EBR Parish. He had a half brother names Thomas who is listed
in the 1850 census as living in Nachitoches,LA. Some of these Capers later moved to Texas
but I do not know anything abouth them. I am only familiar with those who stayed inthe
Baton Rouge area. James Capers also had a brother William who moved from SC to Marengo
Co.,AL. Some of his sons later moved to Texas but once again I know very little about them
but do not believe Thomas or Alonzo were names in this family but will check. Thomas had a
sister Nancy Lee Capers who also moved to Nachitoches. She married an Edward Harris. The
mother of !
Thomas and Nancy Capers I do not know. I am a descendant of a child James Capers first
wife, Eleanor Lenoir.
