The Killing of Adam Caperton; Genealogy of Hugh Caperton

A Sketch of the Caperton Family... representing the concensus of views entertained by Mrs. Margaret Caperton Clanton, of Staunton, Virginia, Mrs. Mary Clay Caperton McBryde, of Anderson, Tennessee, Mr. Hugh Arthur Caperton, of Chicago, Illinois, Mrs. Nannie M. Dobbs, of Fort Payne, Alabama, and the widow of the late Colonel James W. Caperton, of Richmond, Kentucky, based upon knowledge and traditions held by their several collateral branches of the family, which are in entire accord with those of the Author.

The Author is the oldest son of Harriette Echols Caperton (Gordon), and therefore a grandson of Allen Taylor Caperton. son of Hugh Caperton of "Elmwood." He has himself lived at "Elmwood" and visited all the Caperton "Places" and family homes mentioned, having spent many seasons in "Old Monroe" and its contiguous territory, with which he is thoroughly familiar. His personal acquaintance with members of the Caperton Family is wide-reaching in extent; and, in addition to having known in the flesh many of whom he now writes, a correspondence covering a period of twenty -five years has kept him in intimate touch with both his own and the several collateral branches of the Caperton Family, and afforded him a vast fund of authentic information which allows him to make definite statements with authority.
