Capps researchers,
A reunion of a Capps family in Northwest Arkansas, possibly SW Missouri and
surrounding areas is being held Sept. 1 at Harmon Park, just off of Dairy
Hollow Road, Eureka Springs, Ark., on Sept. 1. I do not know the time it is
supposed to start, but living nearby, I plan to drop by in early afternoon. I
am not so sure that my line of Capps links with this family group, as my
Capps hailed from Tennesse and southern Missouri, and as far as I know, my
Capps relatives never resided in Arkansas (I can trace my line to the
Union/Grainger County line area of Tennesee, and my related surnames include
Atkins and Boruff).
There are several place names utilizing the Capps surname in the Ozark
plateau area of Missouri and Arkansas. One member of this family having the
reunion in Virgil Capps, who grew up in Carroll County and now resides at
Holiday Island. He knows very little about the family history outside of his
immediate family.
For what its worth.
