Her father was James Augustus William Caperton. He was a Captain in the Confederate Army. I will have to sent you the dates and everything after I get home. Don't have it with me today. Don't quote me but I think that he married Rachel Wiley - for some reason I am drawing a block on who he married. Been working my fathers side lately, All I have on my mind is Plumley, Vest, Bennett, Moten, Lilly, Grimmett, etc. Where does Caperton Connect with you? Yes, there are two Hugh Caperton, father and son. The son is called "NewRiver" Caperton. I don't remember off hand which one built Elwood. The older Hugh, father was John Caperton. Some say that he is from France and came to America by way of Ireland. There is also a story that John was born in Ireland and killed a man in a fight and fled to American where he met and married Mary Thompson, who was also born in Ireland.

Who is the father of Sarepta? I have 2 guys named Hugh Caperton, and of course a bunch of Gores connected to the Woodrums and Shumates....
