FROM PIONEER TIMES APRIL 1987 VOL 11, NO 2. A quarterly publication of Mid-Missouri. This article was sent in by Osal Bennett Capps & Juanita Magee Capps. Retyped here by me, Joanne Scobee Morgan, not related to any of these people. Since this publication is nearly 20 years old, these people may or may not be still living at the same place. MILTON CAPPS FAMILY The Capps in Stoddard County, MO, as we know them, originated on the VA-NC line. A Capps family tradition, that one male in every generation should be named "Bennett" was carried down to Robert Osal Capps, son of Osal Bennett and Juanita MAGEE Capps. After Osal and "Nita" had researched genealogy for twenty years, (as do Bob and his wife, Donna), Osal finally found the wills of both Richard and Ann Bennett, his wife - AND the beginning of the tradition! Richard and Ann Bennett's daughter, Amy, married John Capps. John was likely "Bennett", as has most generations since, including Bob and Donna DUNCAN Capps. Twins were born to Bob and Donna on 10 Dec 1960 in Big Spring, TX, as their second and third children. The first born twin became Bennett Seth Capps, followed two minutes later by Kenneth Scott - (Bennett after the tradition and grandfather, Osal Bennett; and Scott after his maternal grandfather, Earl Scott Duncan.). Karen Sue Capps was born to Bob and Donna on 21 April 1959, in Houston, TX. Engineers were transferred frequently! Karen married 15 Aug 1981, San Angelo, TX., to Billy John ASHLEY, son of Robert and Betty TALBOT Ashley. Karen and Bills daughter Erin Michele (1 July 1986) was born in a Longview, TX Hospital, as a resident of Carthage, TX - now of Lindale, TX. John and Amy BENNETT Capps children were John, Jr.; Matthew; Richard; Mark; Bennett; Patty; Amy; Betsey; Nancy; Christian; and Charity. When John died in 1804 at 66, part of his estate was "already in Guilford Co., NC", as shown in his will. The Capps westward movement had already begun! Witnesses to John's will were Joshua and Hillary Capps. Joshua's will lists sons: Hillary and Francis and two daughters. Joshua was the son of Francis Capps, apparently the first Capps in Warren Co., NC. Richard and Ann Bennett's children were Christian, who married Absolom LANGSTRON; Sarah, who married Solomon LANGSTRON; Richard; Mark, who married Jemmah H. ; William; Moses; Martha; James; Ann; and Amy. Richard Bennett, Sr. died in 1764 in Bute Co., NC and Ann Bennett died in 1779. The first known Bennett Capps (1794 Guilford Co., NC- c1840 TN), a wagon maker, was married in Guilford Co., NC on 22 Dec 1824, to Elizabeth "Betsey" NOBLIN. Bennett Capps and Smith Capps had signed the marriage bond. Bennett and "Betsey's" known children, all born in NC, were Martha; Milton J.; Iverson; Manerva Ann; Matilda; and Lavina - no Bennett that we could find- until Milton J. (27 June 1827 NC-16 Nov 1895 Stoddard Co., MO - Gravel Hill), married Martha Susan TURNER (12 Nov 1828 NC - 19 Mar 1900, Gravel Hill), on June 1, 1845 and named their first child Bennett M. (5 Dec 1848 Weakley Co., TN - 20 Jan 1900 Stoddard Co., MO). Betsey's brothers and sisters, likewise orphans of William NOBLIN, were William H.; Lindsey; Nancy; Lucy; Harriet; and Mary, with Betsey probably the youngest (1810 NC-6 Jan 1857 Weakley Co., TN). Bennett and Betsey moved their family to West Tennessee (Weakley Co.) in 1839, where Bennett and Betsey both died - she in 1857. They had continued the westward movement! And farming became the family's livlihood - though wagons were in great demand, too. Daughter, Martha (1825 NC) married William BYARS in Weakley Co. 15 July 1846. Iverson, (1832 NC) married Eliza J. SMITH on 8 Dec 1870 in that county. Manerva "Ann" (1834 NC) was not yet married in 1850; Matilda (1830) had already married Alexander BYARS before 1850; and Vina (1836 NC) was assigned a guardian when her mother died in 1857. Milton and Martha were destined to rear their family in Stoddard County, MO. Martha Susan TURNER Capps was the daughter of John and Polly TURNER, natives of NC who brought her to West Tennessee as a young girl. After her marriage to Milton in 1845, Weakley co., TN, they remained in TN, farming until 1859. There Bennett M. (5 Dec 1848 TN - 20 Jan 1900 MO); Almus (3 June 1851 TN - 5 Dec 1887 MO); Samantha C. (d. at 13); Mary Elizabeth (14 Sept 1855 TN - 1 Jan 1905 MO); and Riley Smith (28 Mar 1858 TN - 27 Nov 1916 MO) were born. In 1859 they sold their farm in TN and moved to Greene Co., AR. John Wesley Capps was born in AR. They did not like AR and started back to TN through MO., but liked Stoddard County and it became their home. There the following children were born; Martha Ann; Harriet Penina; and William Henry. They settled north of Aquilla on a farm bordering the Castor River, where Almus contracted pneumonia and died while helping his brother, Bennett reroof his house during a school vacation. Mary Elizabeth first married 1 Jan 1878, Thos. J. PALMER and second, Charles STULL.
