Pat.... I have a John Caperton that was the son of James Alexander Caperton, born 1770 in
Virginia, died June 12, 1847 in Spring Hill, Tennessee. Mother was Sarah
"Sallie" Wells, born abt.1770 unknown, died December 25, 1843 in Spring Hill,
Tennessee, at home. Sarah and John were married in Madison Co., Kentucky though so these
might not be the same people you're looking for. This John Caperton had seven
siblings. Four of which were girls, and three of which were boys. The boys names were
Samuel Caperton, Thomas Caperton and Calloway Caperton. At least two of the females were
known to have gone to Alabama and have families. There is no reason to think that the men
couldn't have done the same. What I'm saying is that the John Caperton you're
looking for could be the child of one of these males. Unfortunately, I have no further
information on the three males
