Welcome, Becky!
As you requested I am listing my interest in the Capps family; the earliest ancestor I can find in Dempsey Capps, born 09/07/1760 in North Carolina. The 1800 Census shows him in Randolph County, NC, and he died 03/16/1839 in Canton, Fulton County, IL.
I am descended through his son, William, born 06/17/1791 in NC, and William's son, Elijah A., born 01/15/1824 in Ohio, and Elijah's son, John W., born in Illinois. But Dempsey is the brick wall I can't get past.
So there you have it in a nutshell; I'm still trying to find where Dempsey came from. I've found rumors and maybe and a few probables, but no concrete information as to his ancestors.

Totally in the 1880 Census for Selma NC there is 47
Starlings. I don't know if any of the others to
include these I have listed are related to Ashley and
Alpha but I will try to figure out whp they are
(family wise) and get back to you with the
information. If you find any other related names
please get back to me and I will try to help you with
them.
I am very grateful that there is now (once again) a
moderator for this mailing list and look forward to
working with you. I am not a Capps myself but have
been researching the Capps of NC, MO, SC, IL, and
several other states as well for about two years for a
friend who is elderly and who doesn't have much
experience with either genealogy or the computer. I
will try to post her info sometime in the next month
when I have a little more time to get it all together.
If I can be of any further help please don't hesitate
to ask.
Sincerely
Judi McRae

Granddaughter of Enoch Richmond Capps
Great great granddaugher of William Capps Jr.

Hello, my name is Becky Robertson and I am the new administrator for the Capps Mailing List. I hope everyone had a wonderful Holiday and a joyous New Year.
I welcome everyone to participate actively. I would like all members to take a little time and list why they are interested in the Capps name. I am hoping to generate more participation from everyone.
In 1868, I had a great-grandmother, Georgeanna WIkins, (many greats) that was born out of wedlock to an Ashley Starling. The mother's name was Sarah "Sallie" Wilkins and they never married. Ashley Starling married Pattey Capps and I know she was the daughter of Alpha Capps (female). They lived in Johnston County, North Carolina.
Sarah and Georgeanna never married and as a result the Wilkins name remained in our family until my grandmother was married in 1936. I know the basics of Georgeanna but I am hoping to DIG a little deeper. If anyone knows of this family or has any additional information please advise as soon as you can.
