Harriet Caperton Lynchburg Virginia ca. 1840
I have heard that there was a young lady named Harriet Caperton, a resident of Lynchburg before the Civil War, who was engaged to Captain Richard Ashby, CSA. She apparently left a number of letters concerning Captain Ashby's tragic death in 1861. If anyone has any information on this young lady I'd be glad to know of it. I was told that she was so grief stricken after Richard's death that she never married but the only Harriet Capertons I can find who lived during that period did indeed marry. Can someone help?
