Lydia CAPPS (1823-1882) married her cousin Ira CAPPS Jr., (1802–1881) (cousins) in 1837, in Pungo, old Princess Anne County, Virginia (now the City of Virginia Beach). This giving my “Grandma Bird”, Clara Myrtle GRAY-SADLER Bird (1900-1988) two totally different CAPPS Family Trees lines.

This one is of her 7th great-grandmother, Lyndia CAPPS (1823-1882) which can be traced back to Valentine CAPPS (1562-1656) & Agnes BATES (1566–1642).

Capps Genealogy & History

Capps stems from the pre-seventh-century Old English word caep, meaning a cap or head covering. It is an occupational name for someone who was a maker of headgear; with the addition of the letter S, it becomes the son of a hat maker. The Capps were granted land from William the Conqueror in Lincolnshire for their valor in the Battle of Hastings in 1066. Capps family history mention William Cappa in 1111 as the first known recording of the name in Early London Names.
