I am the granddaughter of Stuart Ashby Capers. He always said his father died when he
about 5 years old. The info I have on Sosthene's father is that his name was Volso
Capers, I did not know the M. name. He lived in later years in Texas, possibly Jackson
County. A family story is that after Sosthene's death Abi took the children to visit
Volso. He wanted her to leave the daughter with him. She refused and probably never had
further contact. She considered him a dreadful person. Abi later remarried to a Mr.
McIntosh, was widowed, moved to Dallas and ran a boarding house. She had at least one son,
Roger McIntosh. He did not marry until late middle-age, lived with and cared for his
mother until her death. I grew up in Dallas and remember visiting Abi many times. I was
about 8 years old when she died.
