Leedda,
Hello cousin!
William B CAPWELL and Mary Alice TIDMORE were married 09 Jul 1885 in
Etowah Co AL. It was William's second marriage. His first marriage was
24 Jul 1873 in Etowah Co AL to Lucy LANCASTER. Laura and Etta were
daughters from his first marriage. There was also a daughter Emma from
the first marriage. She married JE HARMON in Denton Co TX. That's who
Laura is living with in the 1900 census.
The 1900 census not withstanding, William B was born about 1846 rather
than 1851. William B was the son of Welcome Miller CAPWELL and Matilda
MOFFETT. They were married 01 Sep 1840 in Henry Co GA. Matilda MOFFETT
was the sister of my g.g.grandfather Thomas MOFFETT.
In 1850 the Welcome and Matilda are in Talladega Co AL. William is 4
years old. In 1860 they are in Cherokee Co AL. William is 14 years old.
I cannot find Welcome and Matilda in 1870 but William is in Etowah Co AL
age 24. In 1880 William and his first wife Lucy are in Etowah Co AL along
with their daughters Emma and Mary Etta. Welcome Miller living with them.
He is listed as married rather than as a widower but there is no sign of
Matilda.
William's mother Matilda MOFFETT was the daughter of Nathan MOFFETT and
Elizabeth BLOUNT. Nathan MOFFETT was the son of Thomas MOFFETT and
Abigail JORDAN. Thomas MOFFETT was the son of James MOFFETT.
