Hi Becky
It's great of you to take on the Administrator Role.
My interest in the CAPPS name is Edward CAPPS who was born in London around
1820. He migrated to the colony of NSW in 1848 and a few months later
married Eliza Fanny READ (Nee RICE) whom he had met on the voyage out. She
was a widow with two children, but there were no CAPPS offspring.
Edward and Eliza, and her son, all worked for the Immigration Depot in
Sydney from 1848-1854. Edward then became postmaster at Sofala NSW, a
gold-mining town. I am currently trying to find out what became of him after
that.

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.
