I would like to correspond with anyone researching the Roper and Capel families of the Carolinas, GA and AL. The line I am interested in following is: John Roper (15 July 1764 Brunswick Co VA - 22 Mar 1843 Marion Co SC) who married Martha Capel (10 Apr 1768 Greenville Co VA - 29 Sept 1846 Marion Co SC). They married 20 Jan 1791 in Sussex Co VA with her brother Britton Capel acting as security. Her father was William Capel. John and Martha had a son John Roper (Jr.) (21 Mar 1802 Dillon Co SC) who married Judy Capel (b ca 1808). I believe that this Judy was the daughter of Watson Capel (b ca 1780 Northampton Co NC - d 1837 Meriwether Co GA). Watson lived many years in Anson Co NC and ca 1834 migrated to Meriwether Co GA. Watson was the brother of the above named Martha and Britton Capel. My interest is in Watson's daughter Elizabeth Capel who married John C. Hinson who migrated ca 1855 from Meriwether Co GA to Marion Co Al and then to Itawamba/Lee Co MS. I would appreciate hearing from anyone connected to these folks. georgie
