520 |a The Capell family were planters and merchants of Amite and Wilkinson counties, Mississippi. Littleton Capell, a native of South Carolina, migrated to the Mississippi Territory early in the 19th century. In 1811 he purchased land from the federal government in the south-west corner of Amite County. He established himself as a planter and held a half-interest in a general store at Rose Hill. After his death, some time in the 1830s, his wife Catherine inherited the plantation and his son, Eli Jackson Capell, inherited his father's interest in the Rose Hill store; Eli also managed the estate. At his mother's death Eli Capell inherited the plantation and her slaves. As the owner of Pleasant Hill Plantation, Eli J. Capell was a progressive agriculturalist who attempted to convince his neighbours to improve their own agricultural methods. An avid reader of farm journals, he often corresponded with editors and several of his letters of inquiry, as well as his own observations and experiments, were published in agricultural papers. Eli Capell married Margaret Anderson of Centreville, Mississippi; together they had two daughters, Kate and Ophelia, and two sons, Robert L. and Henry Clay. During the Civil War Robert L. Capell served as a private in Captain Moses Jackson's company, the 33rd Regiment of the Mississippi Volunteers; he died during his service in Franklin, Tennessee in 1865. Henry Clay Capell practised law in Centreville. Ophelia Capell attended Silliman Female Collegiate Institute in Clinton, Louisiana (c. 1868-69) and Kate married A. C. Crawford, a division superintendent of the Wrought Iron Range Company.</p><p>This plantation crop book covers the years from 1840 to 1849.
