WHARTON COUNTY HISTORICAL

J. B. Capell

1867 - 1869

Wharton County Sheriff




Jabez B. or Z. Capell was appointed on November 1, 1867 by General J.J. Reynold's Special Order # 195 and served until April 3, 1869 when he was removed by General Canby's Special Order #78.

No. 306 and No. 309 case in the Criminal courts of Wharton County show that Jabez Capell was charged with neglect of official duties on April 4, 1868. I don't know if this had anything to do with him being removed or not.
