I, too, am researching Capps going back to 1700's in North Carolina. The
names you mentioned are not familiar to me- but I plan to print your
letter to keep as reference. I do seem to recall a Hiram Capps mentioned and
will look up the info. It seems that my Capps migrated from North Carolina
into Tennessee and some came on to Missouri. Four of my great grandmothers
were Capps that married Quicks... I have also found some connected to my
line that settled in Arkansas. My personal e-mail is

My Matilda CAPPS is a big mystery:
She was said to be born in Jefferson Co. AL abt. 1878 and married to
Jackson GLAZE
abt. 1905. I saw her and Jackson on the 1910 Jefferson Co. AL census. It
adds up
until I try to search her parents.
On her death certificate, her father's name is said to be "Harmon" CAPPS
and mother
just the name "Catherine" is written.
Living family members who recall g-grandmother Matilda CAPPS say that her
full name
was "Mary Matilda Louisa Jane CAPPS". Also, Matilda named two of her
children Albert and Maude.
So I believe that the following is my Matilda:

EdiFish6,
Do you have a Frank Quick among your lines? I think he was living in OK.
