Hi Judith, My Capps line comes from the William and Nancy Cooksey Capps from
Rev. John Capps, from Conelius Alfred Capps to my maternal grandmother Janie
Umakie Capps Searcy and she and her father and mother are buried here in
Transylvania County, NC. Would love to find any information on my William
Capps (m Cooksey). Also I have a photo copy somewhere of the discharge from
the Civil War of Cornelius Alfred Capps from the New Jersey Calvery and it
still shows how much he was paid. Hope to hear from others on the list. My
name is Wanda McCall Aiken of Pisgah Forest, (Transylvania, YES Transylvania
County) NC. Thanks and have a great day. Wanda

Roy, is it possible that your William E. Capps was
William Capps, III?
The
following info is excerpted from "Henderson County
Heritage - North
Carolina
Vol. I":
William Capps, Sr. - b. 1761 d. 1847 m. Nancy Cooksey
1791. Their
children
were Cornelius, William, Jr., John, Elizabeth,
Matthew, Enoch, Hannah,
Nancy, Lucina, Sarah, Rebecca, and Mary. The first
four were born in
Edgefield and Greenville Counties. William, Jr. was
born in 1793 and
died in
1856 (?). No further info about him is given in this
book. William, Sr.
fought in the Battle of Cowpens in South Carolina
under Gen. Daniel
Morgan
where they defeated the British. 1790 census records
in Edgefield
county
listed five Capps families: Matthew, William, Barney,
Michael, and
Greenberry.
William, Sr. and his son Matthew are my ancestors. If
you would like to
research the Henderson County Capps families further,
please E-mail me.
