Hi Linda,
The following is all I found: Russell Capwell, son of Stephen the 3rd and Hannah
Wickford, b. 1781 in West Greenwich. As stated in Chapter 3, Russell was away at see when
the family left Rhode Island in 1800-01. However, he soon joined the rest of the family
in Pennsylvania.
Russell m. 1st Sophia (Mullison/Molleson) Jones, daughter of Reuben Molleson. (see
extract of his will, dated 12 May 1813, mentioning "daughter Sophia Capwell",
Luzerne Cty. Wills 1787-1842" card file at the Wyoming County Historical Society,
Tunkhannock, PA) Russell m. 2nd Polly Madison; d. 1850 in Factoryville. Children of
Russell & Sophia Molleson Capwell; Isabelle b. May 5 1808; Lewis Capwell b. 1809;
Hannah Capwell b. May 17, 1811; Maria b. June 1813.
I think it is a very good possibility that Russell and Sopia are buried in the Bethel
Cemetery, between Factoryville and Dalton, Pa. They are not in the Capwell cemetery in
West Abington Township, near my home.
Good Luck!
Marylee
