I am also a Texas Capers although not this line until way back to Richard Capers born in
1734! But I love Capers puzzles--much more than housework!
Your Ruth was the daughter of William Thedotus (spelling varies) Capers Jr. born June 3,
1895 in Sumter Co SC and Ruth Morgan born Oct 28, 1904 in Texas. Ruth died a few days
after giving birth to her daughter Ruth Bryan Capers on Mar 5, 1922. She was only 17. You
can find her death certificate on the Family Seach website under the name Mrs. W. T.
Capers Jr.. Her parents on the death certificate are shown as J. A. Morton born in KY and
Beulah Turner born in AL. Her father was James Morgan born Jan 23, 1871 in Hartford Co KY
and died Feb 22, 1957 in Dallas, Dallas Co TX--you can also find his death certifcate on
the Family Search website. It lists his parents as John T. Morton and Emma Austin both
born in KY. James and his wife Beulah along with dtr Ruth are found in the 1910 Census for
Howard Co MO, Franklin Twp, district 81, 723. I was unable to find out when Beulah died.
In the 1930 Census William Jr. was working as an Episcopal minister in Okmulgee OK, was
married to Doris age 30 who was born in England, and had a son William T. III age 1 and
born in TX.
William T. Capers Jr. died July 16, 1954 in Tyron, Polk Co NC
