Hi everyone,
I have just joined the list and would very much appreciate help with my Capps.
I know very little about them, what I do know is taken from censuses.

Capps, J.M. - W, M, 55 - farmer - born NC - father born NC - mother born NC
Lucinda - W, F, 35 - wife, keeping house - born AR - father born TN -
mother born TN

The second J.M. is my gg-grandfather...he was born Jan 25, 1866 and died Jan
1, 1960 in Mississippi County, AR.
