Josiah Conn Fa: Mo:
1788
Born Virginia (1850, 1860 Missouri Census)
1812
Tax List Franklin County, TN (Franklin County
Historical Register) [NOTE: The early part of this
list is in alphabetical order, however, toward the end
where Josiah is listed he appears to be in at least the
proximity of George Caperton and may even be next door.
Following up on George, from the book The Capertons by
Bernard M. Caperton: pg 110, Thomas Fowler married
Aletha Conn,daughter of Joseph and Elizabeth Conn of
Prince George County, Maryland. She was born in
Washington City. Nannie Gibson Dobbs stated that
Aletha Conn was a sister of Eleanor Conn who married
George, son of Adam Caperton. I believe this is
probably true. Thomas and Aletha moved to Kentucky and
then to Tennessee, and settled three miles west of
Woodbury near the east fork of Stone's River in
Rutherford County. Pg 53. Col. George Caperton (1777-
4/4/1836) m. 1st Eleanor Conn. Their marriage is
recorded in Madison Co. Ky. She is the sister of
Aletha Conn. They were daughters of Joseph and
Elizabeth Conn of Prince George County, Maryland.
George married second Malvina Ake nee Mundy but no
children. George left Kentucky soon after 1800 with
his brother, John and settled near Cowan, Franklin Co.,
TN. He later moved to Jackson Co., Ala and settled on
the Tennessee River near Stevenson. He is buried about
four miles south of Bolivar Ala. Eight children.
