I have one ancestor who was Known as Mary Matilda Louisa Jane CAPPS (aka Tildy and
Matilda) b.? m. Jack GLAZE in Sandusky, AL in 1895. He was a coal minner. They moved to
? Arkansas sometime after 1904 where Jack and his brother Thomas were killed in a coal
minning accident.
Their children were: Albert, William, Olan, Maude, Edith, Clifford and Clayton.
We believe that Matilda CAPPS's mother's first name was Nancy. We will have
Matilda's death certificate this monday. Hopefully someone knew the names of her
parents.
Family stories say that after Glaze died, Matilda had a store in Arkansas - No one knows
what kind nor the name of the store. Sometime after the death of Jack GLAZE, Matilda
married Rolland or Roland PETTY. Later in life, she ended up living in Toledo, Ohio with
her son Clifford. PETTY did not go to Ohio. No one knows what happend to him.
For now, this is all we know of her. We have ordered a Cherokee Dawes application of
Nancy CAPPS HOLLAND. Rumor is that this family was Cherokee and we hope to gain
information from the application.
I hope to find someone who might have some information on this family.
Thank you.
