Peter Capley, Jr. was borne about 1760 in Cabarrus County, North Carolina, a son of Peter Keppel, Sr. and Anne Elizabeth Grobb. This couple had 4 sons; three of the sons, John, Killian & Henry, spelled their surname the same as their father; son, Peter, Jr spelled his surname as CAPLEY.
Peter Capley, Jr. married Maria Barbara Grappin about 1794. Marie’s parents are unknown at this time. Peter and Maria had a large family of 10 to 12 children. I have names for 10 of these children for whom I feel have been verified. On line tress have several names for which I haven't found any information.
Sometime between 1807 and 1820, Peter and Maria had moved their family to Bedford County, Tennessee. Traveling with Peter and Maria were his sisters and brothers.
I believe they made their plans to move as early as 1807.

Maria Barbara (Grappin) Capley died (date unknown) in Bedford County, Tennessee. Bedford County is a Burnt and flooded county and many of its early records have been destroyed. In the 1830 Census for Bedford, Peter Capley is age 50 to 59. The female, age 45+ in the 1820 Census is missing. The oldest female in the household is a daughter age 15 to 19 [1811-1815].
After the death of Maria Barbara Capley documents suggest that Peter Capley married a second time but again the wife’s name is unknown because of loss of records. In the 1850 Census for Bedford County we find Peter Capley, age 90, born in NC. Listed in the household are 7 children ranging in age from 12 to 35 [1815-1838].
1850 CENSUS; District 9, Bedford, Tennessee; Roll: 869; Page: 182A (Stamped); Line 31, Dwelling 172, Family 172; Peter CAPLEY, Male, age 90, born in NC; Catharine CAPPLEY, Female, age 35, born in TN; Martin CAPPLEY, Male, age 33, born in TN; Barbary CAPPLEY, Female, age 31, born in TN; Mary Ann CAPPLEY, Female, age 29, born in TN; Michael CAPPLEY, Male, age 28, born in TN; Joseph Dry CAPPLEY, Male, age 18, born in TN and John CAPPLEY, Male, age 12, born in TN
Peter Capley died about 1852 in Bedford County, Tennessee. There is an exact death date on a tombstone added to his assumed burial site many years after his death. I have found no sustainable record of his death that can be substantiated with a proof document.
