Hello. I am interested in finding out more information on the Caples and
Gifford families of Fayette county Alabama. My gr-grandmother was Frances
Ann Gifford, born in Fayette - her father was Lewis Gifford, possibly
Richard Lewis Gifford - who married Martha CAPLES ca 1845 in Fayette
county. Frances Gifford married James Thomas McManus and one of their
sons, Junie, was my grandfather. If you run across information on Martha
Caples or anyone in these families, please share it with me and I will do
the same for you regarding your interests. I was told that somewhere in
this side of my family there is native-American heritage or some mixture -
but I have no idea of knowing the authenticity of this information, nor the
tribe, etc.
Good luck and thanks for sharing if you have information on this subject.
Timothy
