I have updated the look and feel of the two projects associated with the Website. The DNA project is now sporting a "hi-tech" look in shades of Blue, while the Book Project is based on the color red.

You may also notice that they include the words "Caperton Society". Since 2002 I have called the website simply caperton.info. Additionally the site was managed by a group of one - ME. With the increasing amount of information and source documentation on the site being contributed by others, as well as my desire to include even more people in the process and make the website a kind of "homebase" for all things Caperton, it seems only natural that the Website have a more meaningful and inclusive name. As such, I am proposing that the site become "The Caperton Society"

I would very much appreciate feedback using the comments below to get your thoughts on this.

I have located the files of two men who married into the Caperton family that served in the Revolutionary war. James Kelly's, whose file is 31 pages in size, married Nancy Caperton (B-5) and Joshua Townsend, whose file is 32 pages in size) married Elizabeth Caperton (B-6). I have added a new menu link in the At War section and started adding pages from these files to the site. Remember though that you will need to be logged in to see the listing of pages.

While we are on the subject of Elizabeth Caperton, I thought I would provide an update of where I am at. I have located 168 descendants of the Elizabeth Caperton x Joshua Townsend marriage. I am currently putting together a Family Tree so that I can add it to the site. It will probably be a few weeks yet, but I certainly hope to have it up by the middle of August.

I have been able to locate information on the descendants of our Elizabeth Caperton (B-6). We knew Elizabeth Caperton married Joshua Townsend. But the trail had gone cold from there. I have now been able to uncover several generations of Elizabeth descendants and hope to completely flesh this line out over the coming weeks/months. If you have information on the Caperton-Townsend line that you would like to share please drop me a line.

In other news, I have put the UK census records for 1841, 1871 and 1891 back online. these databases were the last of the records that still needed to be re-added following the upgrade of the website. The "look and feel" of the database does not yet match the rest of the site, but it soon will.
