CAPPS
I am researching CAPPS history and have much info. My GG Grandparents were William Henry CAPPS(06/18/1835) and Nancy Anne Smith CAPPS (07/20/1835-01/01/1925). Both are buried at Galatia Presbyterian Church in western Cumberland County. We think Williams fathers name was 'Harvey'(told by elder relatives) but another connection says he was the son of 'Littleton'. Perhaps he had both names,(first & middle) and was probobly from Johnson County.
Their son, David George CAPPS (02/09/1870 - 08-13-1963) & Annie Taylor CAPPS (05/14/1875-02/22/1934) were my Great Grandparents. They are also buried at Galatia. Their son, George Hubert CAPPS (06/27/1904-08/24/1966) & Fannie Monroe Capps were my grandparents. They are buried at the Spring Lake Church of the Covenent Presbyterian Church on Manchester Road.
Their son James Edison CAPPS (b. 04/20/1928) & Mary Ann Strickland CAPPS are my parents. Anyone wishing more info on this line, or having any to offer- please contact me at:
