Middle Ga. Argus – Week of January 5, 1892
The Ordinary has been asked repeatedly how many and what widows in this county would receive the pension allowed them under the statue providing for the same.
In order to answer this question correctly the writer has procured a list of those whose applications for pensions have been passed upon and allowed.
The following is the list:
.... Amanda E. Capps, .....
The claims for pensions of the above soldier widows have all been approved and 
are all on file in the state department and will be paid about the first of February next.
It will be seen that there are thirty seven of these claims which is above average from the counties of the state, there being about four thousand claims from the whole state.
An examination into this matter will discover the fact that Butts County will receive from the widow’s pension fund more money than the county will contribute of that fund.
She appeared on the census in 1900 in Henry Co., GA.⁽¹²⁾ 1900 Henry Co., GA census shows Manda Capps, Mother-in-Law of Samuel J. & Martha E. King, White, Female, Birth: Aug 1829 (or 1827), age 72, widowed. There is nothing listed under number of children, but under number still living it says 1. She was born in GA, and her parents were born in GA. This time it says she can read/write and speak English. She died on 6 Oct 1908. She was buried in Butts Co., GA at County Line Baptist Church Cemetery.⁽²⁰⁸⁾ (Photo from Charles Crowell). Westly H. CAPS and Amanda E. MAXEY had the following children:

2 i. John CAPS was born about 1847 in GA.⁽¹³⁾He did not appear on the census in 1850 in Henry Co., GA with Wesley and Amanda. The next child down (E. - age 1) is listed. In the 1860 census, John appears as age 13. Also, Westly and Amanda were not married until 1848. Was this John Capps adopted, or could he have been a sibling of Wesley's? He appeared on the census in 1860 in Henry Co., GA.⁽¹⁴⁾ 1860 Henry Co., GA census, Sandy Ridge District, shows John Caps, son of Westly and Amanda Caps, age 13, born in GA.

+5 iii. James "Jim" Washington CAPPS.
+6 iv. William Thomas CAPPS.
+7 v. Martha "Mattie" CAPS.
8 vi. Mary Jane CAPPS⁽¹⁸⁾ was born on 17 Feb 1860 in GA. She appeared on the census in 1870 in Henry Co., GA.⁽¹⁹⁾ 1870 Henry Co., GA census shows Mary J. Caps, age 9, born in GA. She died on 11 Feb 1877. She was buried in Butts Co., GA at County Line Baptist Church Cemetery. ⁽²⁰⁸⁾
