Hi:
Am pasting some bits about Arkansas Capps below.
Am looking for the connection between the two Nimrod Capps. One died in
Van Buren, Crawford Co. in 1850 mortality index. The other died in the
1876 in Ripley Co. AR. How are they related? Which one married Cynthia
Mattix, dau. of Edward Mattix and Eliz. Bond. Which one served as a
magistrate in Crawford Co. and served as administrator of the David Hinds
estate in Crawford Co. in 1843/44.
Regards,

The article in the HISTORIAN: "Capps, Matthew came from TN to MO some time
between 1809 and 1823. Some of his children settled in Arkansas. Among
these
were:
-Nimrod Capps, who m. Cynthia Mattix in Lawrence Co. in 1830 and
-Martha "Patsy" Capps who m. Ransom Moore ca. 1828 and ;moved with
him to
Crawford Co. Ark.
-Jane Capps who m. Mr. Turman and lived in Crawford Co. Ark.
The next query on the same page has:
Capps, William Martin, b. 8/301832, Georgia, m. Catherine Bartlett, d.
1/8/1921 Little River Co., Ark. Father: Martin Capps, b. ga. m. Katie
Crossling, b. in SC. (Note that this Wm. was born in GA after the children
of
Matthew had been married in Ark. These could be children of his brother,
Martin Capps or no relation at all.)
