This KAPLE line has
deep roots in Allegany and Steuben Counties, New York, with relations
located in Almond, Andover, Hornell, Alfred, and other nearby towns. Unless
otherwise noted, the photos and documents presented here are provided
courtesy of Linda Kaple Hults, of Worcester, Vermont, granddaughter of
Clarence P. KAPLE.
Questions of Origin
Mary Caple Harrington
of Andover, New York has shared a weath of information about this line
in a variety of forms and has traced it back to Thomas KAPLE and Jane
(Jennie) DIXON, whom she reports immigrated from Ireland to Boston in
the 1720s. Many other researchers have incorporated her findings into
their research.
My CAPELS/CAPLES line appear to connect at John KAPLE and Sarah RICHARDSON
and their son Anson, though this has not yet been verified.
Cautions
There is great risk
in reading too much into isolated pieces of information. Imagine
trying to figure out what an elephant looks like with only a toe, an ear,
or just the snout as clues. Available records, if we're able to
find any at all, provide only a momentary glimpse into a situation, often
subject to the interpretation or limitations of the person recording it.
Personal stories and recollections add depth, reveal personalities,
and help to illuminate a time that has past.
I have tried to be diligent in recording the sources of my information
so that it can be judged by myself and others as to its reliability.
Just because a record exists does not mean it was recorded accurately,
whether by the scribe or the original provider. In any event, these
records provide us with clues that could help verify our assumptions or
point us in new directions.
Photographs
Photos help remind
us that this is about more than facts and statistics; these were real
people of flesh, bone, and blood. They experienced the adventures
of youth, the trials and tribulations of raising a family, the struggles
of work and making ends meet, the joys of traditions, and the sorrows
of loss. Some died young; others lived long, fruitful lives. Most
of the photographs presented in this collection are of unidentified people.
Might a KAPLE relative have a photo just like it, but of whom the
identity of the subject is known? Any help or clues toward identifying
them will be very appreciated.
Contributions
Any information, corrections,
clippings, suggestions, and/or photos offered that will help weave the
fabric and reveal the texture of the family's history will be greatly
appreciated. All photos or other original documents will be handled
with great care, copied, and promptly returned to their owner, unless
instructed otherwise. Information to share? Please contact
