Hey Folks,
I'm also a direct descendent of Stephen Capwell, Sr. (b. 1690) of Warwick Rhode
Island, or so my research so far tells me.
My mother is Fern Capwell, her father is Joseph William Capwell, his is Adolph Albert
Capwell, his is William Dexter (W.D.) Capwell, his is Charles Capwell, his is Randall
Capwell, his is Stephen Capwell Jr. who is the son of Stephen Capwell, Sr.
I'm part of the Northern CA (Humboldt County) branch of the Capwells. William Dexter
Capwell came over from Rhode Island sometime in the mid-1800s to farm in Ferndale, it
appears.
I'm kind of new to this genealogy thing, but I've posted info on my website to
document what I've found so far.

I don't have the Capwell Family Book (but I'd like one), so I've relied on the
old standbys: the LDS files, the SSDI, and vital records searchs.
