Message Board Post:
I am a direct relative of Stephen Capwell (b. 1690) of Warwick, RI and of the Coventry,
West Greenwich, RI Capwells. Holden Capwell did very thorough and extensive research of
the descendants of the original Stephen Capwell and his assumed brother, Henry. I find a
few errors in my family information in his book but that is understandable. Our family
information needs to be updated. He and his wife donated copies of his work to the RI
Historical Society library in Providence, RI. Chances are he did the same in other areas
of the US (Factoryville, PA. etc) where Capwells migrated to from RI. You would benefit
from reading their work and seeing where your families fit. You may want to think with
others who through the last few years have wanted to update family information and try to
make that a reality.
"Stephen Capwell a.k.a. Stephen Cappell-Capell-Capel-Capple of Rhode Island and his
descendants, through the 5th generation" by Lois J. and Holden B. Capwell. First
Edition 1994. There are 2 Volumes. Both Lois and Holden are deceased I believe. Carolyn
