Submitted by Jean Stringham   <Zojea@aol.com>
Notes:   Above deed used with permission of Jean Stringham who adds:   The Elizabeth CAPLINGER referred to here, I believe, is Rebecca Elizabeth (or Sarah or Sally) KIRBY who married King Hiram CAPLINGER.  As the deed was established in 1874, King Hiram had passed on in 1864, and their daughter Elizabeth was born 1835, md 1856 Tom MAYNARD and died in 1911.  Rebecca Elizabeth was born in 1810KY and died 1878 in Shannon, Terresita Co., MO, but is buried in Benton Co, TN on land once owned by her son-in-law Robert King GEORGE.  I have not been able to establish why she was buying land in 1874, as it was my understanding from oral family history that she had gone to MO after K.H.'s death.
[BTM]    J. E. TOTTY is he the son of William W. TOTTY and his wife Jane?    Any help appreciated on identifying this J. E. TOTTY of Benton Co., TN.
