Individual Details

Elizabeth is said to have married George S. Bolton, but I think that's wrong. The Eliza who married George Bolton was instead the daughter of James Poindexter, son of the unplaced David Poindexter of North Carolina. The 1850 census shows Eliza living with George and their first child in Monroe Co KY.

This Elizabeth is living with her father in 1850 in Overton Co TN, age 16.

I believe the following Elizabeth who married John Capps is the daughter of Archibald Thomas.

List,
A Cumberland County Vital record lists the following birth record for a female: Sarah A. COPSE (CAPPS) born 25 Dec 1852 to John COPSE (CAPPS) and Elizabeth POINDEXTER [Randolph Smith transcribed this as COPSE; I have the original microfilm, but have not double-checked it yet] nyway, regardless of the spelling, I believe this may be the Sarah A. shown below:
1860 Cumberland Co., KY
109-109 CAPPS, John, 35, m, farmer, $100, TN; E. M., 29, f, housework, KY;
Robert M., 9, m, KY; Sarah A., 7, f, KY; John R., 5, m, KY; A. T., 3, m, KY;
L. W., 1, m, KY
1870 Cumberland Co., KY (John may have died in Civil War)
11-11 CAPS, Lizzie, 39, f, w, keeping house, KY; John, 15, m, w, works on
farm, KY; Alfred, 13, m, w, on farm, KY; Levi W., 11, m, w, chip gatherer,
KY

Look at those names! A John R. and a Robert M! I cannot find this mother or father after 1880; however I did find the son, John R., in Cumberland Co., KY in 1880 and in Monroe Co., KY in 1900 and 1910.
I believe this might be the same Elizabeth POINDEXTER found in the 1850 census of Overton Co., TN with her father Thomas POINDEXTER:
1850 4th District, Overton Co., TN, Pg. 100 (13 Sept 50)
456-456 POINDEXTER, Thos., 48, M, Farmer, 800, NC; Elizabeth, 16, F, TN;
Mary, 12, F, TN; Josiah, 9, M, TN; Thomas (.?) [Looks like U’r], 6, M, TN

If this is Thomas’s daughter, she would have married between the census date of 13 Sept 1850 and approximately April 1852. Does anyone have anything regard POINDEXTER/CAPPS???? Elizabeth M. (Poindexter) CAPPS may have remarried after her husband’s death (if he died). Does anyone know of any records in existence for a marriage of an Elizabeth M. “Lizzie” CAPPS???
She was only 39 in 1870.

"Cumberland County KY Vital Records, Births, Marriages & Deaths 1852 - 1907
Death of James CAPS, age 5 of Cumberland County, KY, was born in CC, KY, son of John and Elizabeth CAPSE, March 25, 1854 of Crowpe. If this is Elizabeth (Poindexter) CAPPS, there is an error somewhere. This James was born c 1849. Elizabeth was with her father in 1850.

My thoughts:
1. There was an error in transcribing James Capps age as 5, maybe that should have been a "3".
2. John Capps had been married previously and James was the son of an earlier wife. Either she was also named Elizabeth or they just took the name of his wife in 1854 [Elizabeth Poindexter] as the mother of little James instead of noting she was his stepmother.
3. Wrong Elizabeth Poindexter and more research is required.
