Hi,
On my father's side of the family I'm related to Richard Capers through Wm Hixon
Capers and Elizabeth Lenoir.
A few years ago I connected with Vinita Shaw and we got to meet each other when I visited
my sister in San Antonio. We met in a restaurant and, although we'd never seen photos
of each other, we recognized each other immediately. The resemblance was amazing. She
looked more like a sister to me that my own sister did!
I live in the Pacific NW so haven't been to the south to do research, all of it has
been online. This week searching for Capers' Civil War Pension applications lead me to
the National Archives. I found links to state archives. Some have pictures of actual
documents and letters. Georgia has death certificates online, too, so you can see names of
parents, and of mortuaries and funeral homes, etc.
I'd love to hear what you have on the Capers.I'm the S. Capers who replied to the
Capers reunion above. my email is mykithnkin2(a)yahoo.com
