William Capps had been on an errand to Christmasville or perhaps Pillowville on Jan 6, 1851 to buy cloth for a slave baby's dress when on his return, his horse was frightened, throwing him and killing him.
The last will of William Capps is on record in Dresden, TN. County seat of Weaklely Co. He willed, first, his soul to God who gave it, and his body to the earth from which it was taken to placed wherever his children thought best. An acreage of land was given each son, a horse, saddle and bridle to each daughter.
