Thanks for the message Trish. Yes, I certainly meant "smart" as in intelligent! After you pointed it out (I think it was on the Bertie list?).....it just seemed so obvious! I also have not done any research on the Capehart family..but have poured over many books on Bertie/Hertford counties and recognize the name as being "one" from the area...and Kapott does not seem to be. Sandy, Very possible that he married a cousin..my HOLLOMAN line from Bertie in the same time period is full of cousins marrying cousins..one reason that causes much confusion in sorting out who's who!! I think I've posted these before but here are the McGlohon marrige listings from the Bertie marriages 1762-1868 book: McGlaehan, Hardy & Anne Gaskins, 22 Mar. 1792; Robert Hunter bondsman McGlaehan, Jeremiah & Elisabeth Capehart, 23 Apr, 1803; John Allum, bondsman McGlauhon, Jeremiah & Nancy BAKER, 26 Jan, 1805; Ruben Harreson, bondsman McGlauhon, William & Ann Gaskin, 11 Jan. 1780; John Oxley, bondsman McGlauhon, Wm. F. & Julia Ann White, mar 5 Sept. 1855 As far as other "Kapotts"...I can't remembernow..and can find no listings in any of the Bertie books I have..but you may want to check out the Bertie List Archives. ----- Original Message ----- From: Trish Worthington Cobb <turniproots@coastalnet.com> To: <MCGLAUGHON-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Monday, March 19, 2001 7:19 PM Subject: FW: Kapott/Capehart > I'll weigh in on this, since I am the "smart lady" who suggested this > probability some time back.
