SECOND GENERATION GABRIEL MAUPIN (2) Son of Gabriel, the Emigrant from France.
after his death in 1742. The source of this Information can be found in Dr. Socrates Maupin's File 16069 In the University of Virginia Library. It is a letter dated 11 Oct 1858, signed by M. I. Smead which reads: "Dr. s. Maupin, My de~r Sir:
Part II of our Maupin history concerns the younger son of Gabriel and Marie Hersent Maupin, Gabriel II. It is suggested that to get a deeper study of Gabriel II, and his descendants that the detailed, documented work published in 1981 by two of his descendants, Florence Mary Maupin and her twin, Gabrielle Maupin Bielenstein, be consulted. This can be found In the following libraries: DAR Library, Washington, D.C.; College of William and Mary, Williamsburg, VA; Virginia Historical Society and Virginia State Library, Richmond, VA; University of Virginia, Charlottesville, VA; Portsmouth, VA Public Library; Kirn Library, Norfolk, VA; University of Kansas, lawrence, KS; and University of Missouri, Columbia, MO. Gabriel II, was born ca 1705 in Virginia. Few facts are available on his life. It had been believed by this branch of the family that Gabriel was the eldest son of the emigrant, Gabriel, but documents proved son Daniel the eldest. Bible records, some published in William and Mary Quarterly, are helpful. A good many of those born, died at birth or very young. Some who lived to adulthood did not marry. The only living descendants of this branch of the Maupin family known to this writer was Florence Mary Maupin, her twin Gabrielle with her two daughters and Mr. Howard Singleton of Butler, PA. Information was also supplied by Mr. Talbot Allen, a Daniel descendant, from court records in Jefferson County, KY. For his information on this branch of the family, Eugene Maupin first contacted William Gabriel Maupin, Jr, in Portsmouth, VA, in 1922, again in 1925 a letter from Edward Watts Maupin and also in 1927, at which time Mildred Holladay added enough information to make it possible for Eugene to prepare the writeups on Gabriel (5), George Washington (15), Richard Allen (16), William Gabriel (40a) and George Washington Opie (40b). Gabriel II married first Judith Pasteur, daughter of Jean Pasteur and Mary Blouet. The had three children; Mary born ca 1730 and twins, Judith and Gabriel born 14 Feb 1737. The records of Bruton Parish Church give the deaths of daughter Judith as 31 Sep 1737 with Judith, her mother, following in death, 9 Nov 1737. At his wife's death Gabriel II was left with a new born Gabriel III, and Mary, age 7. He married again to Mary Saunders, widow of Robert Saunders with two children, Mary and John, then half grown. Gabriel and Mary Saunders had no children and Mary refused any share of Gabriel's estate 420
I have been to the Clerk's office and examined all the indices of Wills in the 18th century - the only Will of a Maupin was dated April 22, 1742. He left one-third of his property to his wife Mary, a legacy to his daughter Mary, and the remainder to his son Gabriel. The wife, Mary, did not accept her third and it probably reverted to Gabriel, the son. She had been married before toR. Saunders, by whom she had two children. In the Will a small legacy is left to Daniel Maupin, a brother." Gabriel II was in business in Williamsburg, VA, with his Uncle Mark Cosby. It was a saddle and harness making concern. Returning to the children of Gabriel II and Judith Pasteur: 1.
