Hi Linda,
I am from the Stephen Capwell line that lived and died in Rhode Island. Stephen (2)
married Abigail Colvin and the dates you have are correct for them. Their grave markers
are field stones that have the name and dates hand chiseled in them. They are in a
sizeable Colvin Cemetery that is badly overgrown. Coventry does not have a Cemetery
Commission overseeing Coventry cemeteries. There is a wonderful and very comprehensive
book on Coventry, Rhode Island Hisstorical Cemeteries by Dr. Bill Eddelman and John E.
Sterling, 1998. Eddleman's address is 12984 W. Milbrook Dr., Huntley, Illinois
60142: e-mail j_ster(a)prodigy.net. It is about $50.00. There is a copy in the Coventry
Library.
I have the 2 Capewell books. I would recommend finding the 2 Volumes, "Capwell
Genealogy" by Lois J. and Holden B. Capwell. First Edition, 1994. Their
information, though not perfect, is more reliable and more current that those by C. L.
Capewell. Lois and Holden are both now deceased. They gave the 2 volumes to the Rhode
Island Historical Library so I have them for reference butI would love to purchase
copies. I don't know how to do that. Maybe someone reading this email will have
information. His work needs to be updated as it stops with my generation - therefore my
children and grandchildren are not included.
I believe Stephen (3) is the one who married Hannah Whitford.
It seems no one has been able to find specific information on the earliest Capwells,
Stephen and Samuel.
Stephen begat the Stephens and my g, g, g grandfather, Randall Capwell. Some of his
cousins went west to Factoryville, PA. The majority of this line, however, stayed in
Rhode Island.
Holden Capwell traces the descendants of the supposed Samuel and Henry. Lo and behold, I
have one of his descendants living in my condominium complex.
My line is Stephen (1), Stephen (2), Randall Capwell and Enfield Johnson; Henry Johnson
Capwell and Asenath Andrew; David Olney Capwell and Mary A. Briggs; William B. Capwell and
Eva Jane Cornell; William D. Capwell and Mary G. Warfield; Carolyn G. Capwell and Robert
L. Gammell.
The search is addicting.
Good luck.
Carolyn Gammell
