William Capps
William Capps (occasionally spelled Capp or Cappes) was born in Norfolk County, England in or around 1575.〔Couper, William. "The Couper-Capps Genealogy: Charts 5-8," The Virginia Magazine of History and Biography, Vol 59, No 1, January 1951, p. 127.〕 William married Catherine Jernagin (also spelt Katheryn Jermingham) in Norwich, Norfolk County, England, 11-Dec-1596, at (St. Michael at Plea ).〔International Genealogical Index, 1988 Edition citing Extracted Marriage Records - St. Michael at Plea, Norwich, Norfolk County England, LDS Source Call Number 993652 and Printout Call Number 0933437〕 He and his wife had five children together: Henry, Frances, Willoughby, Anne, and William.

He traveled to the Colony of Virginia aboard the ''Sea Venture'' and was apparently among those shipwrecked in Bermuda for several months before reaching the New World. William Capps arrived in Virginia in 1609-1610 and settled at Kecoughtan on the west side of the Hampton River. This site is in present-day Hampton, Virginia and is on the opposite side of the Hampton River from the grounds of Hampton Institute. There is a street called "Capps Quarters"〔(Capps Quarters Location )〕 in this area that is almost certainly part of William Capps' original tract of land. A Virginia historical marker is posted in this area. This point, patented by William Capps about 1634, was known for a century as Capps Point.〔A Guidebook to Virginia's Historical Markers, Charlottesville: The University of Virginia Press, 1994, p. 184.〕〔Tyler, Lyon Gardiner. The Cradle of the Republic: Jamestown and the James River, Richmond, VA: Whittet & Shepperson, General Printers, 1900, p. 160.〕 The area was later renamed Little England.
Kecoughtan had originally been the site of an Indian village which on May 1, 1607 had some 18 houses of twigs and bark and 20 fighting men. Indians and whites had lived together at this site for the first years of the Colony, but in summer 1610 Sir Thomas Gates drove the Kecoughtan Indians from the area in retaliation of the killing of a settler at Fort Algernourne (Old Point Comfort). The settlement grew slowly as a report of John Rolfe in 1616 shows: "At Keqoughtan, being not farr from the mouth of the river, thirty-seven miles below James Towne on the same side, are twenty () whereof eleven are Farmors."〔Hatch, Charles E., Jr. The First Seventeen Years, Virginia 1607-1624, Charles E. Hatch, Jr., Charlottesville: The University of Virginia Press, 1957, pp. 97〕
