Message Board Post:
I'm looking for any information on Robert Capstack/Capstick (or his family) who
according to the IGI was christened in November 1800 in Clapham, Yorkshire, son of
Richard. Robert served in the Third Foot 1823-1827 and may have married an Elizabeth
(Finley?) during his duty in Ireland (Dublin) in 1824. Elizabeth and her children Joseph
and Jonathan came to the US alone in 1829 and Robert was discharged for
"consumption" in 1827, might he have died before mid-1829? The IGI says nothing
about a marriage or his death. Any information would be much appreciated.
