THIRD GENERATION DANIEL MAUPIN (8) Son of Daniel (3), grandson of Gabriel (1) Daniel Maupin was born In Hanover County, Virginia, in 1727 and died in 1803 on his farm on Muddy Creek in Madison County, Kentucky. He was known as "Cuff" Daniel Maupin and was a member of the Albemarle County militia during the Indian Wars of 1758. He Is also said to have been a member of the Albemarle militia during the Revolution. If he served as a member of the VIrginia state troops, it was as a member of some home guard organization and he received no pension for his services. He was a witness to the will of Robert Harris, probated In Albemarle Aug. 8th, 1765. Previous to this time he had married Elizabeth Dabney of Hanover County, daughter of Cornelius Dabney. See Dabney Family. They made their home on Moorman's River not far from the home of his father, Daniel Maupin Sr. About 1785, they emigrated to Madison County, Kentucky. We find record D, page 381, of land being conveyed to him on Muddy Creek, Mar 5th 1798. On Oct 4th 1801, he deeded fifty pounds to his son, John (29P, Record E, page 260). His will dated Oct. 11th 1802, was probated in the court of Madison County, Dec. 5th, 1803, and recorded in Will Book A, page 277. His wife was dead at that time but the date of her death is unknown. They were burled on their farm, which in 1924 was owned by Thomas Chenault. Their graves, with their broken and overturned markers, are sti II to be seen. A cane, made from a variety of plant known as cabbage stalk and grown on the Isle of Jersey, was much prized by Daniel Maupin, who had it from his father, Daniel (3), and was brought from England by the emigrant, Gabriel Maupin. The ivory head was broken and lost in the time of Daniel (8) and he replaced it with a horn head made from the antlers of a deer killed in Kentucky. The cane was given to his son, John Maupin, who carried it to Missouri. He left it to his son, Clifton Garland Maupin, of Monroe County, Missouri, and It was a prized possession of the latter's granddaughter, Mrs. Eugene N. Maupin, deceased, of Clarence, Missouri. It is the only known possession of the emigrant Gabriel Maupin now in existence.
Third Generation DANIEL MAUPIN (8) The Will of Daniel Maupin "I Daniel Maupin, of Madison County, Kentucky, being of sound mind, though weak in body, considering the certainty of death, and the uncertainty of when it may happen, have thought fit to make this my last will and Testament, in the following manner, that is to say: I give and bequeath to Margaret Burnett, the fifty acres of land that I live on, as long as she lives and Is single, and at her death or marriage I bequeath it to her daughter, Lucy Burnett, to her sole use and bequest, and my will further is that all and every part of my personal estate should be sold and equally divided amongst my five daughters or their heirs, viz: Sarah Stevenson, Margaret Burnett, Elizabeth Ray's children, Mary Goulding, and Fanny Lynch.
