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.
