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 regisration 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 she is mentioned as a widow.
He was buried in the - Cem1ter10 do Campo. The inscription of his tomb, like that of Anne, has his mouth, 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 following story of his life is taken from the New Orleans Times-Democrat: "Major O. P. Chaffee, a brother of General Adna Chaffee, chief of staff of the United States Army, after many vicissitudes now in the office of Quartermaster Bloom, in New Orleans, yesterday, told a startling, strenuous story, with the elements of both the fairy tale and the dime novel. He was born on a farm in Ashtabula County, Ohio, and when merely a boy, started off to St. Louis, to enter a bank as clerk, not to see his family again for thirty-five years.

​
Joseph Jackson Cherry The inclusion of the names of Joseph Jackson Cherry and his wife Elisa Cherry in the list of members of PIB / Santa barbara comes from the reference made in a letter written by Dr. Bagby FMB, on June 30, 1881. He says that they lived in Botucatu, Sao Paulo, and that it was a great effort to come to the sessions in SB, on a trip of 100 miles.
​
J. J. Cherry and his wife are said to have been from Texas. We don't know when they arrived in Brazil, whether they stayed here, or when they would have returned to the USA. It seems to us that the couple had two children.
​
D. Cherry going from Rio de Janeiro to New York, leaving on 03.December 1, 1885. (In MPRJ p. 330).
​
According to documents found in the Cartorio de Notas, in Santa Barbara, SP, the couple must have arrived there at the end of 1874 or the beginning of 1875. From the date of 1 May 1, 1875, onwards, they appear on the registration of purchase and sale of property, demand, mortgage, friendly land division, exchange of ownership and finally confirmation that JJ Cherry will acquire a property in Botucatu, next to that of Robert Meriwether. This places them there throughout the year 1877.
​
A search at Cartorio in Botucatu was unable to locate his name in the Distribution sector. Also, not found was a record of his Obituary or his wife. We were at the local cemetery, in the idea of ​​having some data recorded in lapidary, but, - we found nothing. So, this little information is recorded here about the Cherry couple.

In 1849, John Keyes Washington already graduated in Medicine from the Medical College of Ohio, United States, received his degree of Dental Surgeon from Ohio College of Dental Surgery, starting to contribute significantly to the development of scientific literature in dentistry. After the Civil War in the United States, from 1861 to 1865, when John served as an officer surgeon in the Army, the family decided to move to Brazil. They settled in Rio de Janeiro, where they began their activities in dentistry, which were greatly enriched with their important contributions, marked by the pursuit of accuracy and clinical excellence since then.
​
In 1874, John William Coachman received the “Dental Office” title from the Brazilian Imperial Government and, together with his brothers-in-law Charles Whiting Keyes and William Baldwin Keyes, he began what would become a tradition for the family in the country: to lead and increasingly improve this important field of Medicine. They have excelled in the field, which resulted in serving Emperor Dom Pedro II, thus becoming close to the palace for many years.

Col. John A. Cole, of Alabama, came to Brazil in June 1866. His fazenda contains 1, 000 acres, for which he paid $3,600 in gold, including a fine mill and ginhouse, a good pasture, and the best water power in the country. He has since put up a dwelling house, which cost him $1,00 in gold. His buildings and machinery are all of the very first class. He has planted two crops of cotton and corn. His first crop of cotton was 22 acres, which made 10 bales; his present crop of 28 acres yielded 60 bales some portions of it making 600 lbs of lint to the acre. His lands are well watered and splendidly situated; expects to plant 30 acres in cotton and 112 in corn in the coming year...

Immigrated from Texas with the "New Texas" colony under Frank McMullen. The Cooks would eventually return to their home state.
(Excerpted from his Bio)
Even I felt my heart yearn for Texas, and I knew Ann's life would always be saddened as a wanderer in Brazil. One day I asked Ann, "How would you like to return to Texas? The flash of joy that spread over her face decided me. I mentioned my plans to others of our company, and they immediately decided to return to Texas with us.
​
I visited our American Consul for information regarding boats. He was very kind and gave me a letter to the captain of a large vessel soon to leave for the United States, but we had to await the captain's pleasure as to the time of starting With the Captain's consent I bought one thousand sacks of coffee, and they served as ballast. The Captain of the"Sea King" was a jolly good fellow always laughing and playing pranks on his green passengers. How glad our hearts were when we reached New Orleans, and when our feet again touched the beloved soil of Texas, even the men of our little homecoming party nearly wept for joy. I sold my coffee in Galveston and that fortunate speculation gave me a good foundation on which to build financially. And when at last we settled in Navasota, I found that my life amongst the kind people of Brazil had given me a fund of experience and useful knowledge. We, like others in the South, settled down and took life as we found it under the Star-Spangled Banner.

CRAWLEY,
C. A.
​
Immigrated from Fairfield, Texas with the "New Texas" group under Frank McMullen. A bachelor, he sailed on the ill-fated Derby. When the Deby struck the rocks fell off of a table where he had been sleeping and broke his collarbone. Although Crawley was in pain, his injury was not so serious. Even though injured, Crawley elected to continue on his adventure. His collarbone was mending and his enthusiasm for Brazil was as high as ever.
Once in Brazil, he set up a makeshift home with fellow bachelor, James Davis. On a trip for supplies to Peruibe he stopped by the home of the Bowen family who were in the final stages of the wedding of their daughter, Sue, and Eugene Smith, son of A. I Smith. The family was excited to see their fellow Texan as there were no witnesses save family, much to the dismay of Parson Quillin. The parson called the newlyweds into a private room and had them repeat the vows again with a bonafide witness and then secured Crawley's signature on the official papers.
He would marry Rebecca Russell, the widowed daughter of Thomas Garner. They would leave the colony and relocate to Santos, before finally settling in Santa Barbara.

Mr. J, H. Crisp, of Texas, came to Brazil in August 1867 and purchased what the latter represented to be upwards of 400 acres, for which he paid $2,000 in gild. Upon inspection, the doctor finds but 243 acres. He also owns an interest in an undivided tract of land adjoining him. His lands are primarily terra rocha and terra vernella, with a small portion of white land. Included in his purchase was a very good dwelling, outhouses a pasture of fifteen acres of Bermuda grass with some other slight improvements. His property is splendidly located, with an abundance of water and plenty of timber. There is no water power, however, in this place. The doctor has raised two crops of cotton and corn; his last cotton was planted in November and December, too late to make a good stand; will make 23 or 24 bales off of 35 acres. He planted 35 acres of corn. He works seven field hands, his fazenda is well stocked, and he is making all necessary improvements. He expects to plant 70 acres of cotton and 35 of corn in the coming year....

Abraham "Abram" W. Currie
When war broke out, Abram enlisted in the 3rd Louisiana Infantry, Company H. Over the next four years he was promoted to Captain. He was captured on July 4, 1863, at the fall of Vicksburg. Abe could probably see his family's home across the river from Vicksburg's high bluffs and must have been heartbroken to think of what had happened there: his family had fled westward, away from the fighting; the plantation was overgrown and possibly flooded, the house looted and burned.
​
After the war, we are not yet sure where Abe was during the next few years--probably in Texas. We know that he sailed to Brazil with his aunt Jennie Whitaker, wife of Adeline's brother Orville, in July of 1878. Many thousands of Southerners went to Brazil and other countries after the war to start a new life. (If you don't know about this fascinating part of American history, see the bottom of this page for bibliography.)
​
Abe and Delia were divorced on February 16, 1871. The papers are in Portuguese.
​
​
In December 1878, Abe married his second wife, Helen Paulina Domm, in Santa Barbara d'Oeste, Brazil. Helen was the daughter of a very prominent citizen of Santa Barbara, blacksmith John Damm and his wife Augusta Bohne Domm. See Domm family page.
