My interest in the CAPRON line is primarily curiosity. Dordana CAPRON was
the first wife of my
3g-grandfather, Willis KELLY. I descend from his second wife. The
separation was apparently not amicable because Willis specifically
disinherited his four children by Dordana. The curious thing to me is that
a grandson of Willis was named Capron Celesco KELLY. This Capron KELLY is
my great grandfather. So I wonder why the family later chose to use the
Capron name. I would like to find what happened to Dordana, her second
marriage, her divorce, and her children. Anyway, here is the line as I
currently have it, with the source of most of the data from Andrew Boyd,
another CAPRON descendant.
