Daniel Maupin (3) is supposed to have received his land grants in Albemarle for services in Indian troubles in the lower counties. No records seem to be available of the actions of the Albemarle militia company. The Indians became very threatening In Augusta County and the Albemarle Company was formed to go to the assistance of the settlers in the adjoining counties. Chapman White Maupin, grandson of William Maupin (9), named above, says the company marched to Staunton where they joined a larger force of volunteers. If they were engaged with the Indians, he did not learn of it from his grandfather.
