I am researching my related Fleming family lines and would like more
information on the following Capps family. I've only found them in the
1850 Fayette Co IL census. Some related families stayed in Illinois and
some went on to Denton and Tarrant counties in TX.
David B. CAPPS, born ca 1818 TN, married Martha (FLEMING) HICKS on March
23 1849 in Fayette Co IL. Martha (born ca 1813 KY/NC) had previously been
married to James HICKS in 1832 in Fayette Co IL. In the 1850 census there
is one child born to them, John CAPPS, born Feb 1850. There are six HICKS
children in the household, Nancy b ca 1837, Isaac b ca 1839, Thomas b ca
1841, Sara b ca 1843, James H. b ca 1844, and Keziah b ca 1847 - all born
Illinois.
I believe I found David and Martha's son, John CAPPS, in 1900 in Johnson,
Christian Co IL. More research has led me to believe that he married Mary
Jane MEYERS in 1874 in Christian Co IL.
My questions are what happend to David B. CAPPS, where was he in 1860, and
did he and Martha have more children? Martha supposedly died before 1862
(not sure where I got this information).
Thank you!
