      Notes on the Capshaw family of Warren & Dekalb Co, Tennessee

      James Emory’s second wife Hester or Esther was probably a Capshaw by birth
      (born in Rutherford County, North Carolina) but she could just be a daughter in
      law of the Capshaws. The estate or will of Josiah Capshaw should be helpful in
      settling this. She could even be an “extra” daughter fathered by a Cherokee girl
      or a servant. Or a niece.

      The pioneer, Josiah Capshaw, was a Revolutionary War soldier from Delaware
      who settled on the North Carolina frontier (Rutherford County). His son Josiah
      came to White or Warren County, Tennessee, during the War of 1812. On 16
      June 1814 Josiah and wife Elizabeth Capshaw sold interest in land in Rutherford
      County (NC) to John Moore (recorded 3 Nov 1815 White Co, TN). On 25 Jan
      1822 William Franks and his two brothers were tried for the assault & battery of
      Josiah Capshaw in White County. In 1836 Josiah and William Capshaw were on
      the tax list for Warren County in that part that later became Dekalb County. The
      Capshaw family became numerous in Dekalb County and fielded Confederate
      and Union soldiers from that county.


      Because Hester (Esther) Emory is shown as a Capshaw in the 1850 census it is
      possible that she was an Emory (Hembree) by birth who married a Capshaw then
      when she was widowed she (and some of her children) reverted back to the
      Emory surname. This is possible because the Emory (Hembree) family was in
      Rutherford County, NC when she was reaching marriage age (1830). The Esther
      name runs in the Abraham Hembree family. This possibility should be further
      investigated. I found no Capshaw in the 1830 or 1840 census that plots to Esther
      and her children as well as the census for James Emery in Sevier County does.
      She and her children match the James Emery family but if a Capshaw family is
      discovered that provides a fit, it should be examined. Because the CARROLL
      family can be found alongside the CAPSHAW family in Rutherford Co, NC,
      it is more than likely that she was a Capshaw who married James Emery in
      Rutherford County soon after the death of his first wife. This would be the
      source for the Carroll David (David Carroll?) name of one of the sons. [5]
