Hello,
Susannah Caplena/Capkna is still my brick wall. Her
marriage to Thomas N. Bottoms on 6 Nov. 1871 is
recorded in the Lauderdale co., TN courthouse. But
other than that I know nothing about her.
At present there is still some debate over whether or
not she was Ellen Bottoms mother. No one is arguing
about Ellen being Thomas N. Bottoms daughter and no
one is trying to say that Ellen's mother was Thomas'
second wife "Sallie" Langston.
It doesn't help matters any that the 1880 census lists
Ellen as the daughter of Robert and Susan Bottoms.
While Thomas N. Bottoms is already married to "Sallie"
Langston and living in the same town.
At some point this last month I did a search at the
local LDS library at
ancestry.com and found that
several of the people with Caplena as a last name were
of English origin, while the ones with Capkna as a
last name were Welsh.
At this point I can only keep looking. And share the
info I find.
Sincerely,
Lisa Taylor
