John Capling was the son of Thomas Caplin and Maria Adfield. He was married to Jane Booker. He and his son William Capling emigrated to Canada in the early eighteen hundreds. He passed away in South Easthope in 1877 and is buried in St. Andrews Presbyterian Cemetery in North Easthope, Perth, Ontario, Canada. Jane Booker preceeded him in death and is buried in Ontario, Canada.
This addition was suggested by a contributor today, July 25th, 2018: On ancestry I came across an 'Obituary' for Jane Booker Capling. (Jane is my 4x great grandmother.) In the obituary you state that Jane died in England and it is unknown where she is buried. This story is not true. My great-aunt told me this story as told to her by her father. Jane Capling died in Shakespeare, ON Canada in 1832. She was on a train traveling across Ontario and many of the passengers ended up contracting cholera. Jane and some of her children were some of these people. Because they were deemed to be dangerous to the healthy passengers on the train, they were kicked off the train in Shakespeare and this is where the family ended up settling. Unfortunately, Jane and three of her children died from cholera. Just thought I would pass on this story as I found it interesting!
