Hi Lorraine,
I found the book on
abebooks.com.
The book doesn't mention the name of Stephen and Samuel's Father. At least, I
don't recall it being in there.
There is, however, a small section that does discuss name origin. It mentions Capell as
the possible predecessor to the Capwell and Capewell lines. He goes on to theorize that
the name is Italian in origin. Who knows how far back that goes.
