The Capper and Bronaugh family went to Iowa from
Cass County, Illinois.

James B. Capper and family moved to Whittier, California sometime between 1921 and 1930. James
B. Capper (born July 26, 1854 in Cass County, Illinois) was the son of Meredith Capper (b. 1798 in Virginia) and Margaret E. Bronaugh Gagnon (b. Nov. 1826 in Kentucky, died after 1910 in Iowa).

It appears that James B. Capper had a son named Davis or David A. Capper (b. 1882 in Marion County, Iowa) from a first marriage to an unknown
woman. James B. Capper apparently remarried by
1885 to Nancy Melinda Beeson, and Davis (or David?) A. Capper was raised by his grandmother
Margaret E. Bronaugh Gagnon Capper (from census data).

Davis (or David?) A. Capper married Bessie Fern
Jones in 1916 in Marion County, Illinois.

James B. Capper was a brother of my great great
grandfather Archibald William Capper (son of Meredith Capper and his first wife Eliza Carter. Meredith Capper remarried to Margaret E. Bronaugh Gagnon after his first wife died).

I have alot of Capper family information to share
with interested descendents of this Capper family.
