​
William Henry Capps was born in 1841, or 1845 ?, being the son of William Calhoun Capps and Mary Matilda Capps. It is said that he came to Brazil - from the state of. Alabama. We don't know when he arrived. He married, in Santa Barbara, SP, Anne Ellis, daughter of Warren Montgomery Ellis and Mary Matilda (Strong) Ellis, probably shortly after August 1869. William and Anne would have 12 or 13 children. Of these, the name of 8 can be found in the regis-
ration of W. H. Capps, which took place on June 6, 1890. Anne must have died shortly before April 30, .1890, because, in the list of voters in Santa Barbara in the 49th quarter of the city the name of Henry Capps _ appears as a widow, for about 45 years, therefore not coinciding with that of registration of death.
His second marriage, W. H. Capps married on April 18,.1892, with Agnes Mariana Hawthorne, according to marriage registration, in Santa Barbara. On January 29, 1894 Mirian Constance Capps was born and died on August 11, 1983 buried in the field of Campo. Agnes (or Ignes?) Mariana (Hawthorne) Capps must have died between 1894 and 1900, since in W. H. Capps's death record he is mentioned as a widower.
He was buried in the - Cem1ter10 do Campo. The inscription of his tomb, like that of Anne, has his month, but not the dates. According to the W. H. Capps death record, we have the name and age of the following children: Henry Spencer, 32; Edwin and Ella, 25; Allie, 23; Clarence, 21; Roland, 18; Robert, 12 (his age should be 15). In SD, the names of Arthur, George, Frederick, Charles Monroe and Beulah are also mentioned.
​
The information below was loosely translated from Portuguese.
​
In August 1883, and April 1894, W.H. Capps acquired ownership activities in the area of ​​Santa Barbara, SP, as evidenced by documents found in Cartorio. In 1892, his name appears in the list of electoral names in Santa Barbara, SP. In 1893, he paid the City Hall tax on the mill (sugar? Brandy?). that was yours and on the 1899 voters' list, there is a note 1: 1 along the. This must be Correct Do1s, as it appears in the Obito Registry.
** The name of WH Capps was with others on the commission appointed by PIB / SB, in order to prepare and sign a document that would be valid for the registration of WB Bagby and then EH Soper, as pastors, in accordance with that established by Imperial Decrees. , from 1861 and 1863.
**
We try to get other information about w.H. Capps, through two of his descendants, however, our efforts were unsuccessful. Those who are here have found themselves in the docs:! 111 of arorio and the Arch.! _ Municipal voor of Santa Barbara d Oeste, in addition to references in the book Sol Given Descansa.
**
William Henry Capps' name appears almost always written as HENRY CAPPS.

Lena or Lina Mills was the daughter of William Mills and Dora Thatcher. The family lived in a site in Nova Odessa, SP-Brazil, called "Sítio Tiguerão". Lina or Lena, married Charles Hawthorne, adopting the name of Lena Mills Hawthorne. From the union of the couple, four children were born. From the data collected in FamilySearch there is evidence that the couple, along with their children, emigrated to the United States. As for the children of the couple there are references to Lucy Keller Hawthorme, through an immigration card, demonstrating that in 1959 she was visiting Brazil. In the newspaper A GAZETA (see source) it is stated that Lena or Lina Mills, was for many years head of the nurses of the Portuguese Benifencia and other hospitals of the city of São Paulo and won many friendships and sympathies during his charitable mission. There is information in Judith Mac Knight Jones' "Soldier's Rest" book that sisters Minnie Lee Mills and Lena Mills married the Hawthorne brothers. In the American Cemetery, located in the city of Santa Bárbara D'Oeste / SP, there are two graves identified with the names of Lena Mills Hawthorne and Minnie Lee Hawthorne.
