hello
I am descended from Elizabeth Smith and Sampson Capps.I would love any information you have on her and her sister Rachel.
I have a copy of some writings by David Capps (you John's first cousin) that has the family line you mention.including the patriarch of the family Thomas Capps.
John's father was Jacob.William was Jacob's oldest brother not his father.Thomas was Jacob's father and John's grandfather.
ALthough I have heard your Jacob referred to as "bill" and he called one of his sons Bill.
So Jacobs middle name could have been Bill (william).
anyway please let me know of anything you have on the Smith sisters.I would be so appreciative.
thank you
