    Notes:

    Mary Ann Page Capps was the eldest of nine children born to James Allen Capps (1825-1870) and his wife Mary Esther Gardner (1830-1869) of Washington, St. Landry Parish, LA. Her father was a riverboat captain. On June 20, 1852 Mary Ann married another steamboat captain, Julius Welling McCullough of Huntington, Cabell Co., VA (later WV). Capt. McCullough brought his bride north to Huntington where they were quickly joined by four children: Patrick Henry (b. 1872), Anna Hope (b. 1875), Julius Welling Jr. (b. 1877), and Stanard Buffington (b. 1880).

    Mary Ann's granddaughter, Josephine LeSage Snow, recorded a family story: "In 1882 Grandma 'Cullough took all four of her little ones to Louisiana on a visit. They made the trip by steamboat, and visited several weeks among all the kin. On the return trip Grandpa was to meet the boat in Cincinnati and passage was all arranged for them to leave New Orleans on the Golden City. On the day of departure a letter came from Grandpa saying not to take the Golden City, but to wait for the Thomas J. Sherlock. Whether it was because he could not meet that boat, or because of a premonition, the delay saved their lives. The Golden City burned to the water's edge on that very trip north in Memphis Tenn." [Note: The "Golden City" burned on March 25, 1882.]

Scurlock); died on 16 Nov 1870 in Washington, St Landry, Louisiana, USA; was buried in Gardner Hinckley Cemetery, Washington, St Landry, Louisiana, USA.

    • Residence: 1870, Washington, St Landry, Louisiana, USA
    • Probate: 30 Mar 1886, Opelousas, St Landry, Louisiana, USA; Opelousas Court House

    Notes:

    James Allen Capps was the son of Benjamin Capps and his wife Nancy M. Scurlock Capps. At an early age he worked on riverboats, plying the MIssissippi and its tributary rivers. His travels brought him to St. Landry Parish in the Louisiana bayou where he met Mary Esther Gardner (1830-1869), daughter of Thomas Gardner (1787-1844), a prosperous tanner and dealer in animal hides. James and Mary were married in Washington, LA on June 20, 1852.

    Capps was one of five riverboat captains who married the daughters of Thomas Gardner. In the 1850s he entered into business with his brother-in-law Orramel Hinckley and other partners in a boat building and shipping business connecting Washington to New Orleans and as far north as Indiana. For several years before the outbreak of the Civil War, Capps captained the steamboat "Anna Perret."

    "The Anna Perret, A.J. [sic] Capps Master, will leave Washington every Wednesday at 9 a.m. and leave New Orleans every Saturday at 6 p.m....Passengers and shippers may rely on the punctual time for ceparture of the steamers....
    [Transcript of advertisement in the Opelousas Courier (St. Landry, LA), 17 December 1859.]

    James and Mary Capps made their home in Washington, LA, where they raised nine children: Mary Ann Page (b. 1853), John Davis (b. 1855), Lucy (b. 1856), Aline Emily (b. 1858), Oramel Hinckley (b. 1860), James Allen, Jr. (b. ca. 1863), Thomas Gardner (b. ca. 1864), Charles (b. ca. 1866), and Mattie (b. 1867).

    During the Civil War, James A. Capps apparently joined the Confederate forces engaged along the Mississippi. In a letter dated Sept. 15, 1863 from Lt. Col. A. L. Rives, Chief of the Engineer Bureaur, C.S.A. War Department, a Captain James Capps of St. Landry was included in the "list of men who, by the wish of the honorable Secretary of the War, are to be employed in your department on the special service of destroying the enemy's property by torpedoes and similar inventions." The letter fell into Union hands and in a letter of March 21, 1864 U.S. Rear Admiral David O. Porter ordered the listed men arrested as "rebels, engaged as agents for the Confederate Government, employed for the purpose of furthering the views of said Government in destroying Union vessels by torpedoes and other inventions." [Official Records of the Union and Confederate Navies in the War of the Rebellion, Ser.1, Vol.26 (Washington, 1914), 192-193.]
