PREFACE As several books have been published on the Gabriel Maupin Family the reasons for this publication should be given. They are: FIRST:

To honor and preserve the work of the early researchers, especially EUGENE MAUPIN, whose work was published without due credit given to him.

SECOND: To either prove or disprove the family traditions and other facts which have been published, namely:

2. 3. 4. 5. 6.

7. THIRD:

That Gabriel's wife was Mary Spencer, an English woman. That Mary's father was the Earl of Spencer. That Gabriel was a General in the French Army. That Gabriel's family came from Navarre. That Gabriel's father was Amos, a descendant of Firmin Maupin. That Gabriel II was the elder son. That daughter Mary married a Presnell.

To document the true facts.

FOURTH: To give a better understanding to all family members of our wonderful Huguenot heritage and the contributions of the French Protestants to our country and the world in religious, artistic and political values.

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS After nearly 20 years of researching, corresponding, listening and learning about our MAUPIN family history, It is time to put it all in readable form, to tell how answers came to puzzling questions and give credit where credit is due. Certainly there is due to so many because our history covers many years and persons that no one person could possibly have It all. My work on this book has been no less than a labor of love - a special love of family, an ingredient that needs to be nurtured and Instilled in this present generation to preserve the future of our county. First, I am thankful that God gave me a curious mind - that in the beginning I began to doubt and search for answers to puzzling questions. We all acknowledge our debt to Dr. Socrates Maupin, our first researcher, who in 1837 put down the first history of the family for the descendants of Daniel Maupin, son of the immigrant, Gabriel Maupin and his wife, Marie. From Daniel's brother, Gabriel II to his descendant, Dr. George Washington Opie Maupin for his family research. The work of Eugene Maupin, William Harris Miller, Boyce Miller, Margaret Lewis Maupin and Mildred Holladay who followed along behind the early researchers to further our knowledge of Maupin history. The contribution to my fund of knowledge was broadened by many times with the gift from the daughters of Eugene Maupin, Madelaine Weisenborn and Jean Margaraet Timbrook, of all of Eugene's correspondence, files, and papers along with a copy of the final draft copy of his work. My appreciation to Florence Mary Maupin, Portsmouth, VA, for her work and encouragement; to Eulalia Blau, San Gabriel, CA, for her fine research, continuous sharing and for her special item of Identifying the house on Lot #352 in Colonial Williamsburg, the present Taliferro-Cole house, as belonging at the time of his death to Gabriel Maupin. To Carolyn Farmer, Houston, TX, for locating York County, VA, docurpents that tell us much about the life of Gabriel Maupin. To Bill Albertson, Kansas City, for sharing his intensive research. And to Dottie Lotker, Oberlin, KS, for her research, compiling and sharing on the Mosias Maupin Line; to Phyllis Bauer, McHenry, IL, for her efficient research, her help with computer labels, lists, and encouragement. To Patty Brown, Oberlin, KS, an "adopted" Maupin for her many hours at the computer typing on the first draft of this book when I was unable to use my right hand. To Lester Robinson, Plymouth, Ml, for his transcripts and videos; to Gary Maupin, Fairfax, VA, for sharing his trip to France in talk and film and his fine contribution in sponsoring Kevin Kertscher on a summer In France to do research on the Maupin family which provided much information.

INTRODUCTION

I have been asked a number of times why I pursue and enjoy this "new" hobby of genealogy. My answer Is simple - it is not something "new" but as a Christian I was eager to know more about those who had gone before me and given me a Huguenot heritage. So we turn to the Scriptures. The New Testament begins with the Gospel of Matthew - Chapter 1 verses 1-11. It reads: "The book of the generations of Jesus Christ, the son of David, the son of Abraham, Abraham begat Isaac and Isaac begat Jacob". The begats go on through the generations to Jesus who Is called "Christ". The fact that Matthew began his gospel with the family tree of Jesus might seem to be useless to us but not so as it tells us things we need to know. Matthew knew his readers would be interested first of all because if they were good Hebrews they would see names they would recognize and say "So that is who Jesus was"! The Hebrews were very concerned about who a man was and kept the most careful genealogical records of any ancient peoples. They were as interested in genealogical tables as any of the modern lineage societies ever will be. This was true up to the time the Temple in Jerusalem was destroyed. You had to be in the right lineage to be in the Priesthood and if you claimed to be the Messiah you must surely be of the lineage of David. You remember the Christmas story begins by telling us that Joseph went up to the city of David which is called Bethlehem "because he was of the house at'ld lineage of David". And in Luke we find Mary's lineage back to David, through Abraham. In looking over the people in the lineage we find some questionable characters which could lead us to believe that the writers of the Gospels had some other message for us. My feeling Is that when God decided to come to earth in a human person he decided to do it in such a manner as really to identify himself with the human race. So we have Jesus working and living in a family like other men. That was God's way of identifying himself with us. Jesus had a family whose lineage could be traced, but like most families, there were fine people In it and there were some who almost anybody in their day and time would be ashamed to admit as their own. If Jesus had ancestors II ke Abraham and Jacob, he also had Rahab the harlot, Tamar the seducer and Bathsheba, for whom murder was committed and Ruth who was not a Jew but a Moabite. But there is something more subtle in the list of names that Matthew gives us - a truth that carries hope for all of us. When we look at the ancestors of Jesus we see some great and good people. Abraham, Isaac and others not so good. This is true for all of us and this Is an answer for those who ask "What if you find skeletons In your family tree?". And you do

I have been asked a number of times why I pursue and enjoy this "new" hobby of genealogy.

get that question. You will notice that the only women mentioned in the list, Tamar, Rahab, Bathsheba and Ruth, were women about whom there were some questions. The mere fact that the women were mentioned at all Is remarkable in view of the fact that among ancient peoples, Including the Hebrews, women were not worth mentioning. Women had no legal rights. They were treated as "things" and not as persons. They were possessed, owned by father or husband. In the genealogy of Jesus every woman listed had a question about her. For three of them it was morals and the fourth was not Jewish. Matthew is saying to people who have a taint In the blood or a family heritage which is doubtful that you路 don't have to settle for that. It Is true we cannot pick our biological ancestors but we can pick the spiritual ones to follow. In Matthew's Gospel we can read this family history of Jesus and become aware of the love of God. If we feel there is evil back in our family history that we are ashamed of or even in our own personal life which will keep us from being what we ought to be- we can take heart from this Scripture. The lineage of Jesus was not perfect and neither is our own. God knows this and it makes me so thankful for the Christian heritage given to us by our Huguenot ancestors, Gabriel and Marie Hersent Maupin. In my thankfulness for a Christian upbringing, I began to read everything I could find on the history of Christianity. Other religions, such as Islam, were studied as well. How did Islam gain such a following from the 7th century until now when it is such a force in the world? What was wrong with the Church in those early centuries that caused so much dissension and brought on religious wars? History shows that from man's beginnings the sins of greed, love and misuse of power, intolerance and prejudice have been with us. The lines of the royal families in France and England were of special interest to me because of the family tradition that Gabriel had a royal lineage and possibly his wife, Marie, in England. I have put down in the next chapters some of the facts I have learned, to share with my readers who perhaps have not had the opportunity to read and to better understand and appreciate our French ancestry and Huguenot heritage.

FOREWORD Like a lot of people I did not become interested in our Maupin Family history until the older members of my family were gone. In 1965 I found William Harris Miller's "History and Genealogies" in our Kansas City, Mo. Public Library. Mr. Miller had written mostly about the Kentucky Maupins. My grandfather, Silas Bernard Maupin was listed in it and that started me on my search. I enrolled in a Jr. college class in genealogy and right away started taking every class and seminar I could get. About 1962 Mrs. Nell Sherman published "The Maupin Family" and in 1969 Ruby Heard Maupin of Missouri (now Utah) published a book on the family. I got the books and literally memorized them. Ruby, I knew from our Maupin reunions and I talked several times on the phone with Mrs. Sherman in Illinois. In 1973, I went to Charlottesville, VA, and while there visited the Alderman Library of the University of Virginia. I learned some very interesting things that were contrary to the information I had used as documentation to join several lineage organizations. This information was from published books and articles such as "History and Genealogies" and the Virginia Magazine. The new information came from the papers of Dr. Socrates Maupin listed under File #6069 there in the Virginia Library. This started me on my great search for the truth. ' I learned that the first family historian for the descendants of Daniel, son of Gabriel and Marie Maupin, was Dr. Socrates Maupin. His father was Chapman White Maupin and his mother was Mary Graves Spencer, daughter of John Spencer and Rosanna Graves. She was one of the three Spencer sisters, Mary, Sarah and Anna, who married Maupin men. In 1837, Dr. Socrates married Sally Hay Washington. With his mother's name being Spencer and his wife's Washington family connection to the Spencer family in England, he began putting down the history of his family. In reading his work over and over again, I became curious about the fact that NOWHERE in it did he give a surname for Gabriel's wife, Marie. He said nothing about her being English. In fact, he starts by writing in his fine small hand (I have original copies of his handwriting so know what is his) "Gabriel Maupin and his wife, Marie, FRENCH HUGUENOTS". From his records we have the first generations of the Daniel Maupin family, son of the immigrant, Gabriel. I have in my possession an original chart made in 1837 by Dr. Socrates showing the Daniel descendants with the title at the top of the chart "GABRIEL MAUPIN and MARY of FRANCE". Sometime before he was killed in an accident in 1871, he started working on the Maupin history with Dr. George Washington Opie Maupin of Portsmouth, VA, a descendant of the immigrant's younger son, Gabriel II. Together they made a chart of the family showing

From his records we have the first generations of the Daniel Maupin family, son of the immigrant, Gabriel. I have in my possession an original chart made in 1837 by Dr. Socrates showing the Daniel descendants with the title at the top of the chart "GABRIEL MAUPIN and MARY of FRANCE". Sometime before he was killed in an accident in 1871, he started working on the Maupin history with Dr. George Washington Ople Maupin of Portsmouth, VA, a descendant of the immigrant's younger son, Gabriel II. Together they made a chart of the family showing

descendants of both sons, Daniel and Gabriel II. On the written history and the chart made by the two doctors NO surname is given for Marie (Mary). So how did these differences occur in the later publications? That was the puzzle I set out to solve. From the time of the death of Dr. Socrates in 1871 and the death of Dr. George Washington Opie Maupin in 1887, nothing had been published on the Maupin history. In June, 1901 there appeared in the VIRGINIA MAGAZINE published by the Virginia Historical Society in Richmond, VA, in Volume VIII, beginning on page 216 an article entitled "The MAUPIN FAMILY" listing as the author only "Communicated". This information I had used on my lineage papers. It reads as follows: "Some years ago the writer commenced to trace his Maupin ancestry back to the French Huguenot who fled from France and settled in Virginia. For over two years he wrote to every Maupin that he could learn anything about or whose post office address he could obtain. All that he could find was that the family was of French origin and they were descendants of a Daniel Maupin. Finally after almost giving up in despair a copy of the Maupin family tree was obtained from Dr. Maupin of Portsmouth, VA, a member of the elder branch of the family. This tree gave a complete list of the great-grandchildren of Gabriel Maupin, and including whom they married, as well as the family tree of the elder branch of the family down to within the last generation. Gabriel Maupin, the French Exile, was a French Officer who incurred the displeasure of the King on account of his religion and fled the Kingdom in 1699, with his wife, and son Gabriel. Gabriel Maupin remained in England with his father-in-law, Earl Spencer, an English Nobleman, for several months during which time a second son, Daniel, was born in 1700. He emigrated to Virginia in the year 1700 and settled in Williamsburg. The will of Gabriel Maupin (1st) dated September 2, 1719, with a codicil dated December 1, 1719 was proven in General Court at the Capitol, April 20, 1720, his wife Mary being executrix. How long the latter survived her husband is not known, nor is it known when his daughter Mary was born or what became of her. It is not the intention of the writer to give the tree as was obtained but that as it relates to the younger branch, the descendants of Daniel Maupin and the following is an exact copy, except that part in brackets." END OF QUOTE. The Virginia Magazine is a highly respected publication but here now in 1901 appears facts about the Maupin family that were evidently unknown to the first researchers, Dr. Socrates and Dr. George Washington Opie Maupin who were years closer to the immigrant than the author "Communicated." The new facts in the article were: 1. That Gabriel was a French officer. 2. That he had left France with a wife and a son, Gabriel. 3. That his father-in-law was Earl Spencer, an English Nobleman, which meant that Mary's surname was Spencer. I wrote to the

They answered that due to the length of time lapsed there was no way they could tell me who was "Communicated."

In 1976, I was privileged to be included in the Bi-Centennial Genealogical Seminar at the National Archives In Washington, D.C. We had the tops in each field as our instructors. Frank Smith, an English genealogist, was there and I asked him about the possibility of Gabriel's wife being of the Earl of Althrop (Spencer) family. He was very doubtful because he said that line had been so thoroughly researched. After that I started my search in earnest to find the answers to these differences. Noting that Mrs. Sherman and Ruby Maupin had published very similar stories in 1962 and 1969, I called Mrs. Sherman to ask if they had a common source. She was very ill but told me her information had come from a very early researcher, a EUGENE MAUPIN, of Clarence, MO, and that he had two daughters and gave me the name of one of them. She lived in north Missouri. I made a trip there and that opened up a whole new area of research. Both Mrs. Sherman and Ruby Maupin had used Eugene Maupin's unpublished material. This early researcher, EUGENE MAUPIN, was born in 1888 in Clarence, MO, the son of Samuel Rice Maupin. In 1911, he married Frankie Woods Maupin, daughter of Nathaniel Maupin. He began his study about 1919 - he died suddenly in 1944 before he could publish his history. In 1920, he and William Harris Miller got together and they kept up a lively correspondence, exchanging information and trying to get their records correct. Mr. Miller was so pleased to at last have access to the information given by Dr. Socrates Maupin and with Miss Nannie Maupin about the Gabriel II descendants. Another person joined these two researchers, Margaret Lewis Maupin, granddaughter of Dr. Socrates Maupin. She supplied them with many original writings and letters of her grandfather.

descendants of both sons, Daniel and Gabriel II. On the written history and the chart made by the two doctors NO surname is given for Marie (Mary). So how did these differences occur in the later publications? That was the puzzle I set out to solve. From the time of the death of Dr. Socrates in 1871 and the death of Dr. George Washington Opie Maupin in 1887, nothing had been published on the Maupin history. In June, 1901 there appeared in the VIRGINIA MAGAZINE published by the Virginia Historical Society in Richmond, VA, in Volume VIII, beginning on page 216 an article entitled "The MAUPIN FAMILY" listing as the author only "Communicated". This information I had used on my lineage papers. It reads as follows: "Some years ago the writer commenced to trace his Maupin ancestry back to the French Huguenot who fled from France and settled in Virginia. For over two years he wrote to every Maupin that he could learn anything about or whose post office address he could obtain. All that he could find was that the family was of French origin and they were descendants of a Daniel Maupin. Finally after almost giving up in despair a copy of the Maupin family tree was obtained from Dr. Maupin of Portsmouth, VA, a member of the elder branch of the family. This tree gave a complete list of the great-grandchildren of Gabriel Maupin, and including whom they married, as well as the family tree of the elder branch of the family down to within the last generation. Gabriel Maupin, the French Exile, was a French Officer who incurred the displeasure of the King on account of his religion and fled the Kingdom in 1699, with his wife, and son Gabriel. Gabriel Maupin remained in England with his father-in-law, Earl Spencer, an English Nobleman, for several months during which time a second son, Daniel, was born in 1700. He emigrated to Virginia in the year 1700 and settled in Williamsburg. The will of Gabriel Maupin (1st) dated September 2, 1719, with a codicil dated December 1, 1719 was proven in General Court at the Capitol, April 20, 1720, his wife Mary being executrix. How long the latter survived her husband is not known, nor is it known when his daughter Mary was born or what became of her. 路 It is not the intention of the writer to give the tree as was obtained but that as it relates to the younger branch, the descendants of Daniel Maupin and the following is an exact copy, except that part in brackets." END OF QUOTE. The Virginia Magazine is a highly respected publication but here now in 1901 appears facts about the Maupin family that were evidently unknown to the first researchers, Dr. Socrates and Dr. George Washington Opie Maupin who were years closer to the immigrant than the author "Communicated." The new facts in the article were: 1. That Gabriel was a French officer. 2. That he had left France with a wife and a son, Gabriel. 3. That his father-in-law was Earl Spencer, an English Nobleman, which meant that Mary's surname was Spencer. I wrote to the

Virginia Historical Society in Richmond to see if they could give me the name of the person who was writing as "Communicated". They answered that due to the length of time lapsed there was no way they could tell me who was "Communicated." In 1907, another publication appeared that I had used in my lineage papers along with the Virginia Magazine article. It was "History and Genealogies: by William Harris Miller.

Another person joined these two researchers, Margaret Lewis Maupin, granddaughter of Dr. Socrates Maupin. She supplied them with many original writings and letters of her grandfather.

Unfortunately Eugene Maupin died in 1944 before he could publish his work. After the death of Eugene's wife in 1968, the two publications referred to in the beginning of this article appeared. They were in reality the work of Eugene maupin with additions. The first one, "The Maupin Family" by Mrs. Nell Sherman who had written to Eugene a few years before his death and he had given her permission to use whatever he had shared with her. The other publication by Ruby Heard Maupin had come to her through Mr. Harris Dickey, a fellow researcher of Eugene's. Eugene used his own system of numbering the family members by generations so it is easy to find Eugene's work in the book by Ruby Maupin which was re-arranged in alphabetical order. The same numbering system will be shown in this book to IDENTIFY Eugene's work which continued through most of the fifth and some of the sixth generations. What this writer has tried to do is to correct known errors and then go back and fill in the information on the early generations that was not known to the early researchers and has been supplied by the present day descendants. Names in the early generations that have an asterisk (*) before them are the lines of descendants who have given me their information. It is added later rather than being inserted into Eugene's work. It is to be emphasized that the information supplied by the present descendants HAS NOT been documented by this writer. What has been the goal of this writer was to document all the early history of the family because it was felt that some of the early traditions were not correct. Also, because of the scope of this endeavor no individual family pictures will be included. It is hoped that family members, using the documented material for the early beginnings will continue on with their own individual family record, telling their own interesting family events and including their pictures. In 1980, I answered a query in the DAR Magazine from a Florence Mary Maupin of Portsmouth, VA, asking for help on the surname of one of her grandmothers, Judith, wife of Gabriel II. Being very happy to find someone working on the line of the immigrant's son, Gabriel II, I answered promptly. This began a lively correspondence and exchange of information that continues to this day. It resulted in Florence Mary's publication of her family papers in 1981. They contain much interesting information but of course do not reflect the changes that have been found in these later years. Copies were placed in these libraries: DAR Library, Washington, D.C.; Huguenot Library College of William and Mary; Virginia Historical Society; Virginia State Library, University of Virginia; University of Kansas and University of Missouri. It was also in 1980 that Mrs. Carol Farmer of Houston, TX, visited the courthouse of York Co. VA, and discovered some interesting documents in relation to 10

Gabriel Maupin. They will be described and where to find them as they fit into the history. Following Mrs. Sherman's advice, I made the trip to north Missouri to meet with Eugene's daughters, Mrs. Madeline Weisenborn and Mrs. Jean Margaret Timbrook. They were delightful hosts and we had a wonderful time visiting. They had not known their father's work had been published. They offered me a copy of his history of the Maupin family if I could do an update of his work that路 I would give him full credit that he deserves. This I promised to do. To these two daughters I owe a deep debt of gratitude because of their generosity in giving me their father's files with all his notes, letters and other correspondence. Many answers have come from these files. One important answer found in Eugene's files was the name of the author "Communicated" that appeared in the Virginia Magazine in 1901. It was Mr. J. A. Bishop of Selma, AL. He wrote Eugene in 1922 saying that the information on the chart had been sent to him by Dr. Maupin of Portsmouth, VA. Then he gave his own lineage, that of his Mother who was from John and Frances Dabney Maupin and that of his stepfather who raised him, Daniel and Betsy Gentry Maupin. Those two lines had been enlarged upon in the article and in brackets. He then told of a later visit to Portsmouth and Norfolk, VA, with Dr. Maupin and being entertained at the home of Dr. Maupin's brother, William Ashton Maupin. It must be explained here that the Dr. Maupin Mr. Bishop is writing about is not the Dr. George Washington Opie Maupin that worked with Dr. Socrates Maupin on the family chart. This is his son, Dr. George Washington Opie Maupin, Jr. and his brother, William Ashton Maupin. In order for the article to have been published in the Virginia Magazine in 1901 the information would have had to have been given to Mr. Bishop sometime before or around 1900. This Dr. Maupin does appear in the June 1900 census living in Portsmouth. The chart is correct but the other information whether misunderstood by Bishop or given incorrectly by Dr. Maupin we will never know but since later research has proved it to be false it can now be forgotten. For the next question - where did Mr. Miller get the information for his book on the beginnings of the Maupin family? None other than from Mr. Bishop who wrote Eugene that he shared his information from Dr. Maupin with his "friend and kinsman" William Harris Miller. How and why Mr. Miller promoted Gabriel to a "General" I do not know. Also in Eugene's files are a dozen or more letters from Dr. Socrates' nephew, Charles Smith Maupin who until he was about 15 years old, lived with his grandmother, Mary Graves Spencer Maupin, Dr. Socrates' mother. He relates how the three Spencer girls who married Maupins, Mary, Sarah, and Anna, that THEIR father, John Spencer, was a descendant of the Earl of Spencer and because his ancestor was a second son he was let out of the 11

Gabriel Maupin. They will be described and where to find them as they fit into the history.

inheritance and came to the Colonies. This tradition sounds very reasonable to me and one I hope to be able to research and prove at a later date. All descendants who have these three Spencer sisters as ancestors should do what they can to prove this tradition. At the bottom of Dr. Socrates' 1837 family chart he has his mother's Spencer line showing "Richard Spencer, from England Jan. 2, 1634 (prob)" which would mean he was doubtful about either the date or the first name of his Spencer ancestor. This needs to be verified. This shows how the incorrect information from Mr. Bishop's article in the Virginia Magazine and then passing it to Mr. Miller for his book in 1907 was taken as Gospel and passed down. Also In Eugene's files are about thirty letters from Dr. Socrates' granddaughter, Margaret Lewis Maupin. She is the one who put her grandfather's papers in the Virginia library with some additions from other persons. Eugene Maupin's writings reflect the traditions of both the Virginia Magazine and Mr. Miller's work. Another very important piece of information in the files was in one letter from William Miller. He writes that in 1920 he received from Miss Nannie Maupin of Portsmouth, VA, a copy of the genealogy of a French family of Navarre, de Poussemothe, en Bern, a Paris et an Bretagne. In this genealogy is recorded that Jean de Poussemothe married in Paris the 30th September 1549, Genevieve le Maupin, daughter of Firmin le Maupin, Sieur of Bouvaque, Avocat au Parlement et Jeanne d'Aibisse. It is believed that this information is the source of the tradition that Gabriel came from Navarre but that subject will be covered in the information about Gabriel's birth and parents. Eugene's files have been a great source of interest and knowledge for me. I appreciate greatly his neat, painstaking work with file folders for each correspondent and subject. We have to remember that the researcher of those early days did not have all the aids and conveniences we have today - no indexed census books to hurry the process along - no computer printouts to make the job quick and easy - a lot of person to person visitations and going to whatever courthouses were available to them. I feel Dr. Socrates, Dr. Washington Maupin, Mr. Miller and Eugene would be much interested in some of the information on documents which have been recently found on the Maupin family and how they were acquired. Eugene expressed some doubts in his writings- one was that the Mary Maupin who married a Pressnel was not Gabriel's daughter and he was right! All the Maupin family owe Eugene and William Miller much because of their early research that could be added to the beginnings given to us by Dr. Socrates and Dr. George WAshington Opie Maupin. Our history would not be so complete without their work. I will close this section with a quote from one of Eugene's letters to William Harris Miller. "If I do not get a book published I will copy my notes in a connected form and send them to you to put with your other manuscripts and maybe 12

some day some future historian of the family will find our work and bless us as I do those whose notes unravel so many hard knots for me". And I say, "Eugene, I do bless you and your two daughters, Madeline and Jean Margaret, for sharing you and your work with the whole Maupin family, descendants of Gabriel and Marie Maupin.

THE FIRST REFORMATION The first French Reformation, which was clearly an attempt to separate the Church of Christ from its feudal trappings and to acquire for it a new freedom with a personal access to God, took place in the French city of Lyon more than 300 years before Martin Luther and John Calvin. In the year 1174 a rich merchant of that city, named Waldo, discovered that Christ had told the rich young man who came to him asking how he may have eternal life, "to sell all his belongings and give to the poor". (Matt. 19:21 ). Taking this scripture to the letter Waldo sold all his possessions, had the Gospel according to Matthew translated from the Latin into French and began to preach the need for a more scriptural Christianity. His followers became known as "Waldensians" who spread the message of the Bible and virtues of poverty. As he gathered friends and disciples rapidly his implied "criticism" df the riches and excesses of the Church soon brought him into conflict with the Bishop of Lyon. The greatest objections of the organized Church to the Waldensians was their unauthorized preaching of the bible and their rejection of the intermediary role of the clergy. The Waldensians rejected holy water, liturgies, pilgrimages, indulgences- all these they deemed unnecessary. Waldo and his group moved to the south of France where their message spread quickly. In 1208 the Catholics began to persecute the followers of Waldo as "heretics". Their heresy consisted mainly as open rebellion against the hierarchy of the organized church and its practices. After the persecutions started only a small group remained in southern France. The majority migrated to the nearby Alps where they felt more secure from attack. These new ideas were beginning to reach into the inner circle of the organized church. Francis of Assisi, deeply influenced by the teaching of Waldo which he receive almost certainly through his mother who was French, attempted a similar revolution in central Italy in the year 1206. His evangelical movement failed because his ideas were taken over by the Roman Curia and he was not condemned but was in fact later elevated to the state of sainthood. The Waldension movement continued to grow, spreading out even to central Europe. In 1532 the Waldensians joined the Calvinist Reformation and suffered even more cruel persecution than ever before. As through a miracle the Waldensians still exist in Italy and France. Their headquarters are near Turin, Italy, where Huguenot groups from the United States have visited them. From:

THE SECOND FRENCH REFORMATION It's Leader and Beliefs Christians in France who in the 16th century followed the religious leadership of John Calvin are called "Huguenots" (which means French Protestant). The word Huguenot is of uncertain origin. John Calvin was born at Noyon, Picardy in 1509 and he died 27 May 1564. He was a student at Orleans and the University of Paris where he was a brilliant scholar. There he met other students, German Lutherans, and he ti ked their Ideas. But his keen mind was not completely satisfied and he began to think things out for himself very carefully. The University authorities discovered that Calvin no longer believed in the Catholic Church and he had to flee Paris and France. He went to the Swiss city of Geneva where there was a great deal of religious argument going on. Calvin was asked to stay and help the Protestant preachers in Geneva. He agreed and then began to teach his own ideas which were very stern and very thorough. Calvin set his ideas down in 1535 in a book called "The Institute of the Christian Religion". This turned out to be a tremendously important book - a book which was to guide the lives of millions of people and to change the history of many lands and it was the work of a young scholar of 26 years. In Calvin's church he felt there should not be titles such as bishops but just plain ministers whose main duty was to preach the scriptures. Calvin, like other reformers, thought that ornaments and ceremonies harmed people, taking their minds from the sermon. He believed the inside of the Protestant church should be plain, services simple with the music being singing of hymns and the psalms. Calvin believed in a good education especially for ministers. All the congregation was taught to work hard, be honest and not to waste money on fine clothes or drink. It is not surprising that many Huguenots became rich. John Calvin continued to lead his reformation from Geneva. One historian of the Reformation wrote: "John Calvin did three things for Geneva, all of which went beyond its walls. He gave the church a trained and tested ministry, its homes an educated people who could give a reason for their faith and to the whole city a heroic soul which enabled them to stand as a refuge for the oppressed Protestants of Europe." On the continent those who followed Calvin were called Reformed Churches. In English speaking lands Calvin's followers were usually Presbyterians or Puritans. One of the most important leaders in the Geneva church was a man named John Knox who on his return to his native Scotland established the Presbyterian church there according to the teachings and traditions of John Calvin. But everywhere Calvinistic worship was characterized by its simplicity and its Bible centered theme. They replaced the alter with the pulpit.

Their idea of equality before God, of direct access to Him by the individual, of the necessity that a God fearing person should be in the seat of government opened up a whole new avenue in the western world. We can see that the teachings of Calvin were not only religious but also political. It was the basis for democratic movements whose roots are in the basic ideas of democracy, decency and morality before God. It was the democratic politics of Calvinism which were brought to New England by the Puritans who in turn deeply influenced the American desire for freedom and democracy in 1776. Twenty of the presidents of the United States of America are descendants of Huguenots beginning with George Washington. On November 15, 1980, The National Huguenot Society placed a plaque at St. John's Church, Lafayette Square, Washington, D.C. St. John's is called the "Church of the Presidents". The plaque reads "To honor the following United States Presidents of French Protestant descent and their Huguenot ancestors who contributed so much to the moral and cultural development of these United States of America. The presidents are: George Washington, John Adams, John Quincy Adams, William Henry Harrison, John Tyler, Millard Fillmore, Franklin Pierce, Ulysses S. Grant, James A. Garfield, Grover Cleveland, Benjamin Harrison, Theodore Roosevelt, William H. Taft, John C. Coolidge, Herbert C. Hoover, Franklin D. Roosevelt, Harry S. Truman, Dwight D. Eisenhower, Richard M. Nixon, Gerald R. Ford. The Huguenots were persecuted because they believed fervently in what we call today "Human Rights". In France where the State and Church were one there were no human rights. People were told what to believe and what to do. Because France was strongly Catholic the pattern of reform there was very different than in Switzerland and Germany. As a result the first French Protestants suffered death or exi I e. The first Reformed congregation in France had been formed at Paris and soon other groups began to form covering the whole of France. This resulted in a series of civil wars because this newly found Biblical faith had set noblemen against King Francis I of France when in 1534 he found a pamphlet in his apartments writing against the Holy Mass. He then began his persecution of the Huguenots. He arrested about 150 followers of the new faith, carefully choosing them among the lower classes; 27 were burned at the stake, 18 had their tongues cut out and some recanted. In 1535 he issued an edict for the "extermination of the heretics". Yet in spite of all the persecution the number of Reformed Christians grew rapidly, mostly among the nobility but also among the rising artisans of the cities who saw in the new faith an opportunity to exert a much desired freedom and new personal responsibility. Some historians estimate that by the time of Calvin's death in 1564 approximately 50% of the important land owning French nobles

were Huguenots. For some of these nobles their taking the Reformed faith was for political reasons, many others were truly converted. Far more significant than these statistics was the nature of those who became Protestants. In that group were the most alert, intelligent and aggressive members of the nobility who most resented being overwhelmed by the State and the Church. We must remember with gratitude the Huguenot heritage passed down to us from John Calvin whose teachings for Christians was different; a new set of values that were special In family life, work, friends, and our worship to show that we are Christian. We must continue to maintain these values in our lives and pass them on to our next generations to be true to our Huguenot heritage.

Their idea of equality before God, of direct access to Him by the individual, of the necessity that a God fearing person should be in the seat of government opened up a whole new avenue in the western world. We can see that the teachings of Calvin were not only religious but also political. It was the basis for democratic movements whose roots are in the basic ideas of democracy, decency and morality before God.

EARLY FRENCH HISTORY This chapter is being written to share some of the history given in 1985 on the Huguenot Tour of the land of our Maupin ancestors which today we call "France". I learned many things that gave me a better understanding of their times and the conditions which would cause people to flee and seek refuge in a far away unknown land. They knew there would be no returning. We were extremely fortunate in that on four of the ten days we spent there, to have for our guide, a young, beautiful French girl, named Bernadette. She not only spoke English with a delightful accent, but she was so knowledgeable of French history. It was almost like watching a movie. She made history come alive. She tal ked constantly but not too fast so that notes could be taken. Along that line, I would encourage readers to enjoy some good books on French history from your library. You will find them fascinating, as I have. She told us of a time before Christ when the pagans living there were cave dwellers. Then came the Celts or Gauls as the Romans called them, as these peoples were conquered by the Romans. We were shown in Paris the remanents of Roman buildings and baths. Gaul remained under Rome for about 500 years or until the fall of the Roman Empire in 476 A.D. The Roman influence was great - in language, buildings, roads and law. Some Christians had come into the land in the first century. In Gaul this new religion brought great persecutions by the pagan peoples as it did in the rest of the Roman Empire. They too enjoyed the spectacle of the early Christians being thrown to the wild animals. In the 4th century Christianity came to Rome as it was accepted by the Emperor and then in Gaul. She told that during the persecutions about 250 A.D. a Christian missionary named Denis had his head chopped off because his missionary zeal offended those who worshiped other gods. But he picked up his head, carried it in his hand until he found his nearby eternal resting place. We wen~ taken a few miles outside of Paris where a chun:;h had been built as a memorial to his martyrdom. Denis became the patron saint of France and the monast~ry of Saint Denis became the burial place of kin~:; and queens. The place where Denis was murdered whicr. IS now in the city of Paris became known as the Mount of the Martyrs or "Montmartre", and is noted for its cafes and night life. To make it more interesting the hotel where we were staying was right in the middle of this district - next to an ancient cemetery which was just outside our hotel window and we walked through it reading the old stones, hoping to maybe find the name "Maupin". No luck. Bernadette told us that the most common name in France is Martin. He was an ex-soldier who after converting to Christianity gave his cloak to a beggar. From that experience

~e had a vision and he began to preach and evangelize in every town and village he could travel to. Many people and churches took his name. We were told briefly about the Moors, the mighty warriors of Islam. They had conquered Spain and then advanced north into the land of France. We were shown remanents of Moorish architecture that had become and still is well known in Spain. In the 8th century it took a man by the name of Charles Martel to drive these Moors out of France and finally the whole area. The exploits of the great Charlemagne were told followed by the coming of the men in the long boats from the North. The subject ..-路.f the migration of the ancient peoples has been for me a sense f wonderment and mystery. These long boat people were the Norseman who invaded a large area which today we call Normandy. They took over the land, the language and soon became thoroughly "French". We are all familiar with the story of William the Conqueror, a descendant of these Norsemen, who in 1066 decided to take England and won the battle of Hastings in 1066. About 50 years after the Normandy invasion of England, the French took up the banner to drive the infidels out of the Holy Land. That was the First Crusade and it was started by the French but other countries joined in. Most of the Crusades that followed were in reality political or had economic traits but we were told about the First Crusade because it was religious and French. There have been documentaries on television retracing the route of the Crusades and it is almost beyond belief that not only knights in armor but women and children took part in this long hard journey. From the beginning of the Roman Church in the 4th century there had been dissenters to the church. There were several different groups, but one in particular started in 1170 in France, called the Waldensians is discussed in a separate chapter. It has been called "The First Reformation" and it is important because of its effect on France and other countries. It was then as it is today. The land boundaries and peoples of Europe were changing all the time. France of that day was just an area around Paris called "IIe de France". All the other land was held by dukes or nobles, who were strong enough to take the area and hold it for their own. In our visit to The Louvre we were told that in these socalled "Dark Ages" many great and magnificent buildings came into being as was the Louvre which was built about 1200 and then we went on to the Cathedral of Notre Dame which was begun about 1160. The other cathedrals we visited, for which I didn't put down a name, were awesome in the beauty of the stain glass windows. Some of them told a story or would give scripture and it was said that was done in that manner because so many of the people could not read but they could get the story of Christ from the windows.

Some of them told a story or would give scripture and it was said that was done in that manner because so many of the people could not read but they could get the story of Christ from the windows. You can be overcome with the

grandeur and height of these magnificent buildings and your first thought is - how did they do it? We were told that in one century about 1150 to 1250 A.D. the French built eighty cathedrals and hundreds of churches in the cathedral design. In a special tour of the Loire valley we made a visit to the beautiful Chartes Cathedral. We were fortunate in having Malcolm Miller, lecturer and guide of the Cathedral to tell us about the history and meaning of the medieval glass and sculpture of the cathedral. Besides the cathedrals, France became an intellectual center. The University of Paris was a center of learning in the 12th century. We were taken by the Sorbonne, which was founded in 1257 and is today still a busy university. I wanted so much to go inside. There are no modern, tall sky scrapers in that city of two thousand years, Paris. This now brings us up to the 13th century when we have the first written records of our MAUPIN family in Normandy but that information will be covered in a later writing. The 13th, 14th, and 15th centuries found France plagued with wars and trouble in the Roman church. At times there were even three popes and also much corruption. It was also the most active time of the inquisitions against the "heretics", the early dissenters of-the Roman church, the Cathars, Waldensians and others. -Some of the troubles came with the intermarriage of the monarchs. Some preferred to "marry" the land rather than to fight for it. Edward III of England, a nephew of the last French Capetian ruler laid claim to the throne of France and gave a start to the Hundred Years War. When the war started in 1327, the only French territory held by the English king was the duchy of Aquitaine. On the Huguenot Tour we were taken to the Abbaye de Fontevraud where Richard the Lion Hearted, Eleanor d'Aquitaine, Isabel d'Angouleme and Henry II, the first Plantagenet King of England are buried. We were able to view their tombs. Some of our group seemed surprised that English kings would be buried in France but perhaps they had not remembered their history. It was during this Hundred Years War that Joan of Arc was convicted of witchcraft and heresy and burned at the stake. In 1453, the English were finally driven out of France. But France's troubles were not over. There was more bloodshed, cunning, and craftiness between the lords of the land and the monarchy. Their struggle for power, authority, and the riches controlled by the Roman Church was constantly between the nobles and the kings. In our time, in the valley of the Loire River we visited the great Chateau Amboise, the home of many French kings. It was here that the feud between the de Guise family, champion of the Catholic faith, and the Conde group who believe in the Huguenot cause, took place. We were shown the balcony where the Huguenot nobles were hung in 1560. We were also shown the 20

rooms where Leonardo de Vinci spent his last years there at Ambolse. He is buried In the chapel on the grounds. His drawings are on display. The man was a genius In making designs that were hundreds of years ahead of his time. King Francis II also died in 1560 leaving the kingdom In turmoil. His younger brother, 10 year old Charles, could not become king, so his mother, Catherine de Medicls, took over as Regent of France creating tremendous turmoil under the pretense of religion. She spent a good amount of time at CHENONCEAU Castle, called a "jewel of the Renaissance". We visited the castle and saw her bedroom, study, library and Chapel. The architecture, tapestries and grounds of the castle are outstanding. Queen Catherine built the most unusual gallery which Is 65 yards long at the back of the castle which spans the River Cher. King Henry IV, son-in-law of Catherine, brought his "favourite" mistress Gabreille De'Estress to the castle and we were shown her rooms. Their son became the owner of the castle in 1624. For myself, a most interesting part of our time in France was a visit to the Palace of Versailles. We were taken there because much of the beautiful work done on the various buildings In woodworking, paintings on walls and ceilings, gold leafing and textiles was done by Huguenot artisans. After the death of King Henry IV in 1610 his son, Louis XIII took the throne. Versailles was then just used as a hunting lodge. It was not until 1643 when Louis XIV, grandson of Henry IV came to the throne that it began to change. In 1659, Louis XIV married Marie Therese of Spain. As in all royal marriages at that time it was an arranged affair. The kings would then have a collection of mistresses. King Louis XIV was no exception. For the children of his second favorite mistress, Marquise de Montespon, Madame de Malntenon was chosen as their Governess. All through the years the additions, lavish decorations and furnishings of the Palace continued. In 1682, it was declared the seat of Government. In 1683 came the death of Queen Marie Therese and in 1685 King Louis XIV married Madame de Maintenon, the former Francois d'Aublgne, granddaughter of Agrippa d'Aubigne, one of the most intimate friends of King Henry IV and a great Huguenot. Two large portraits of Francois in Versailles show her to be a handsome woman. She was very pious and much in disapproval of the homosexuality and "vices of pleasure" of the French Court. It is said she felt compassion for the Huguenots even though she influenced the King on the revocation of the Edict. She survived the King who died In 1715. A question- is she related to our Dabney (d'Aublgne) family?

The life of Henry IV (Henry of Navarre) was given in lecture on the Huguenot Tour of 1985 at Tours because of his importance to all Huguenots but to some members of the Maupin family it can have a special, interesting meaning. From the time of Francis I, when the rebellion against the Church first was gaining ground in France to the time when Henry II died in 1559 making his Italian wife, Catherine de Medicis, the Regent of France, there was constant turmoil between the nobles and the monarchy. The Protestant nobles were led by Admiral Gaspard de Coligy and the Prince de Conde, who wanted the restoration of their ancient rights and privileges. On the other side was the powerful Roman Catholic element led by the de Guise family who not only hated the Huguenots but even more wanted to rule France. So the Queen Mother Catherine had to make the right moves. She felt the Huguenots did not want to seek the throne and their demands were modest therefore the de Guise family was the greater menace. Queen Catherine had a daughter named Margaret, besides her three sons. Margaret was considered the loveliest woman of her day. But history proved her to be as cunning as her mother. Queen Catherine knew the power of the Catholic de Guise family and something had to be done. So her beautiful Margaret's marriage to the young King Henry of Navarre would be arranged. There was nothing in the background of this young man to indicate that he would grow into the greatest leader France had known in her long history. Henry was born in the little town of Pau in the Pyrenees on December 14, 1553, the son of Antoine de Bourbon, a nobleman of high social standing but without power. He was a descendant of Louis IX, so he and Henry could claim a king of France as their ancestor. Henry's mother was Jeanne d'Aibret, Queen of Navarre, which was a tiny kingdom on the border of France and Spain. Its traditions and language were French and its people had early accepted the teachings of John Calvin with great enthusiasm. Practically the whole kingdom, nobles and commoners alike, were Protestant as was Henry. Henry very early in life showed courage and leadership and when he joined the Protestant Army it was under the command of the great Admiral de Coligny. Henry learned well the life of a soldier and he learned to study human nature. In 1572, Henry's mother died which made him King Henry of Navarre. Queen Catherine decided to make her move. Even though she did not like the idea of having a "heretic" in her family she wanted the King Henry of Navarre, a Protestant stronghold, under her control where she could keep an eye on him. So the proposal was made and Henry accepted. The wedding was held in a chapel at the Louvre. The Catholic Church could not

publicly approve of the marriage of Princess Margaret, sister of King Charles of France, to a "heretic" so the wedding could not be he I d in Notre Dame. By this time Henry of Navarre had become the symbol of the Huguenots. Dozens of Protestant noblemen accepted the invitation to his wedding. The presence of so many of these heretics under one roof gave Queen Catherine an idea as wicked as it was cruel. They could, the Queen Mother decided, destroy two enemies at once. Bands of hired murderers could kill off all the Huguenot leaders. This would render the ordinary Protestants helpless and their movement would collapse. At the same time, this assault on the "heretics" would prove to the Catholics of France that King Charles IX and the Queen Mother Catherine were the true protectors of their faith and the influence of the de Guise family could be defeated. A series of balls, receptions, and other social activities were planned before and after the wedding. Queen Catherine decided to have all the Huguenot leaders killed at the same time during the festivities. Then the plans changed to include all the Huguenots living in Paris. Several troops were assigned to the task. Margaret took an active part in the conspiracy. She was to keep her new husband in her quarters to be ready for the killer's knives. But it did not happen that way. On the morning of August 23, 1572, Henry _of Navarre quarreled with his wife and left her quarters for a walk with his Huguenot friend, Agrippa d'Aubigne. The assassins who rushed into Margaret's suite did not find Henry but the carnage of the Huguenots known as the St. Bartholomew"s Day Massacre had begun that day. The Massacre gathered speed throughout Paris and Protestants were slaughtered everywhere from the Louvre to their own modest homes, with 10,000 being killed in France. A crowd caught Admiral de Coligny outside his house and knifed him in cold blood. On Sunday, October 13, 1985, we members of the Huguenot Tour were participants in a Communion service with an inspiring sermon at the Protestant Temple de L'Oratori re du Louvre in Paris. Following the service, a wreath was laid outside the church below the statue of Admiral Gaspard de Coligny to commemorate his sacrifice of his life for the Huguenot cause. The wreath dedication speech and a beautiful prayer, thanking our Heavenly Father for our Huguenot ancestors who gave of themselves, their earthly goods, home, kinsmen, country, and even life itself, was made. It was a beautiful day. On this August 23, 1572, Henry of Navarre having left his wife's quarters, was walking with his Huguenot friend, Agrippe d'Aubigne near Notre Dame when the rioting started and they heard the shouts "Death to all Huguenots"! Knowing he would be recognized and killed, he reacted instantly. They hurried into the cathedral and Henry stripped off his cape of gold cloth, his rings, and other signs of wealth. Clad only in the doublet,

Queen Catherine decided to have all the Huguenot leaders killed at the same time during the festivities. Then the plans changed to include all the Huguenots living in Paris. Several troops were assigned to the task. Margaret took an active part in the conspiracy. She was to keep her new husband in her quarters to be ready for the killer's knives. But it did not happen that way. On the morning of August 23, 1572, Henry _of Navarre quarreled with his wife and left her quarters for a walk with his Huguenot friend, Agrippa d'Aubigne. The assassins who rushed into Margaret's suite did not find Henry but the carnage of the Huguenots known as the St. Bartholomew"s Day Massacre had begun that day. The Massacre gathered speed throughout Paris and Protestants were slaughtered everywhere from the Louvre to their own modest homes, with 10,000 being killed in France. A crowd caught Admiral de Coligny outside his house and knifed him in cold blood. On Sunday, October 13, 1985, we members of the Huguenot Tour were participants in a Communion service with an inspiring sermon at the Protestant Temple de L'Oratorire du Louvre in Paris. Following the service, a wreath was laid outside the church below the statue of Admiral Gaspard de Coligny to commemorate his sacrifice of his life for the Huguenot cause. The wreath dedication speech and a beautiful prayer, thanking our Heavenly Father for our Huguenot ancestors who gave of themselves, their earthly goods, home, kinsmen, country, and even I ife itself, was made. It was a beautiful day. On this August 23, 1572, Henry of Navarre having left his wife's quarters, was walking with his Huguenot friend, Agrippe d'Aubigne near Notre Dame when the rioting started and they heard the shouts "Death to all Huguenots"! Knowing he would be recognized and killed, he reacted instantly. They hurried into the cathedral and Henry stripped off his cape of gold cloth, his rings, and other signs of wealth.

E en though he escaped being killed in the St. Barthelomew M ssacre his troubles were not over. His mother-in-law, Queen Catherine, kept him a prisoner in the Louvre. She knew it w uld be too dangerous for her to try to have him murdered after the Massacre was over. It was during this period that h conceived the document that was to become the Edict of Nantes. According to the diaries of Agrippe d'Aubigne, who remained at the Louvre with him, he dreamed of forcing Frenchmen of II religious beliefs to accept universal tolerance. Other Hugueno s managed, one by one, to escape from closely guarded P ris. Even d'Aubigne finally managed to get out and to carry he word to the Protestant nobles that their leader was waiting o join them. On February 2, 1576, Henry of Navarre managed o get by his guards and ride through the gates of Paris. Ever where huge crowds greeted him and everywhere he repeated is message; he sought religious freedom for men of all faith , Catholics, Protestants, and Jews- all would be equal under hi leadership. Many enlisted in his service - large numbers of Cat olic leaders joined him. All were sick of Queen Catherine's cr elty and the greed of the de Guise family. They wanted a peaceful, prosperous, and united France. Henry of Navarre ffered them that hope. The stage was set for one of hi tory's most remarkable dramas.

In 1576, Henry of Navarre formed a mighty army. In it he accepted all men of good faith, Huguenots and Catholics alike, If they would accept those of other faiths as their equals. And for the first time in the history of France, Jews were encouraged to join. A man's faith was his own business, declared Henry. He was responsible only to God for his religious beliefs. This concept was unique. Henry's concern was not only spiritual but political as he wanted France to be united to end the civil wars and have a prosperous France. In order to meet all his goals he needed religious freedom. The struggle went on for a dozen years with Henry gaining more ground all the time. Finally it was down to conquering Paris, the capital, and it was held by the Catholic League. Henry knew he had two choices, put Paris under siege and starve them into submission or become a Catholic and be acceptable to the Catholic leaders. Paris was strongly Catholic. It has been said that Henry made the statement "that Paris was worth a Mass". In February 1594, Henry received word that the Pope had accepted his conversion and agreed to accept him into the Church. So in March, 1594, Henry, as King Henry IV, rode in triumph through the streets of Paris to the Louvre where years before he had spent time as a prisoner of Queen Catherine. This began the remarkable reign of Henry IV. He threw out the corrupt and incompetent office holders, took care of the nation's debts, encouraged foreign trade, gave aid to the farmers, and introduced new industries into France such as the manufacture of silk, wool, and glassware. Under his leadership the potential of the New World was broadened, the explorers and fur traders came to Canada and the central part of what is now the United States. France was becoming the wealthiest and most powerful country in Europe. King Henry instigated policies that Great Britain, Holland, and Spain did not copy for many decades. One important thing he accomplished; he destroyed the old feudal system. All authority was centered in the crown. The Huguenots had been granted a few rights but King Henry IV realized in a political way that they would never have real peace in France until the civil wars were ended. His idea was simple: He wanted to grant guarantees of freedom of worship, plus the other privileges that the Catholics enjoyed without taking away anything from the Catholics. This was a radical idea because no where in Europe did men live together as equals. So in 1597, King Henry appointed a commission, composed of both Catholic and Protestant men, to draw up a truly revolutionary document, The Edict of Nantes.

From that marriage were three children, one of them being Francoise d'Aubigne, who was to renounce her Huguenot upbringing and become Madame de Maintenon and later the last wife of King Louis XIV after the death of Queen Theresa.

THE EDICT OF NANTES

REVOCATION OF THE EDICT OF NANTES

The Edict of Nantes was the first written promise to grant specific religious freedoms to a persecuted minority. Few documents in human history have had a greater â&#x20AC;˘ong range effect upon mankind. It was issued by King Henry IV on April 13,1598, at Nantes. If Catholics, Protestants, and Jews are now coming closer, if there is a greater spirit of brotherhood, the Edict of Nantes is partly responsible. It was a long tedious document, put together by a commission that included both Catholic and Protestant (Reformed, as they were called in France). Even though King Henry had renounced his Huguenot faith for political reasons there is some doubt about how he really felt. If he had only political feelings in his conversion it could have stopped right there but after he reached some of his goals for his country he turned back to his beginnings. The committee had to struggle to pound out policies that would be fair to all and for the good of France but Henry kept about them until it was finally issued In 1598. The Edict was a complicated document with each group or class of people getting something different from it. Its intent was religious tolerance but for some it was purely political or economics. It gave protection to those of the Catholic faith as well as the Reformed faith to live and abide in the kingdom without being compelled to do anything contrary to their consciences. The Reformed members were given freedom to exercise religion in their homes. It also protected children from being taken from their parents to be baptized in a faith contrary to their parents beliefs. Another important decree that there would be no difference or distinction made in respect to the Reformed religion In subjects to be instructed in universities, colleges, and schools and in receiving the sick and the poor into hospitals and public charities. King Henry IV was a monarch who understood his people; the poor, middle class, nobles, and clergy and he wanted a decree that would help each class in some way. The Edict of Nantes was his way of doing just that. It was his idea, his guidance and persistence that brought it to be. He knew that it was a religious document but also a political one. He was a great statesman, soldier, and defender of France. How do we know what other great things he could have accomplished if he had not been knifed through the heart by an assassin in 1610?. It would be the grandson of Henry IV, King Louis XIV, who would revoke this important document in 1685.

By the time Henry IV was killed in 1610, the people of France had accepted the Edict of Nantes and lived together in peace under its terms. Never had a nation enjoyed a time of such growth and prosperity. France had become a great power. Some historians are convinced that the rights given to the Protestants played a major part in the growth of France. The Edict had given the Protestants the right to exercise their religion and their civic duties. Services could be held in many places. With many nobles being Protestant, as the years went by, feuds began to arise and such things as the siege of La Rochelle in 1628 and other conflicts occurred. This resulted in military privileges being taken from the Huguenots. There was to be no more Huguenot army after 1629. Cannon, small arms, powder, and ammunition were no longer supplied to them. Most of the other rights given by the Edict were retained by the Huguenots and for some 50 years France was reasonably peaceful. Then in 1643, a new king ascended the throne of France, King Louis XIV, called the "Sun King". In his long reign his need for power was overwhelming. He was strongly Catholic and the fact that there were "heretics" in his kingdom disturbed him very much. He wanted France to become still greater and he felt that the best way to do that was to have a nation of one faith, the Catholic faith. Some of his advisers suggested that they try again to convert the Huguenots to Catholicism. This the King agreed with and set about the plan. The Huguenots resisted and their stubborn attitude infuriated King Louis, so he gradually brought more and more pressure, economic and social, to bear on them. As their privileges were gradually being taken away, their places of worship being torn down, and being urged always to recant, the Huguenots began to see the handwriting on the wall. Many of them began to flee to Switzerland,to the Netherlands, and to England, taking with them their talents and ski lis. In 1683, Kl ng Louis lost his short temper. He Issued a decree authorizing the stationing of royal troops in the home of Huguenots for the purpose of forcing them to listen to those who were trying to convert them. This merely strengthened the resistance of the Huguenots. Fighting back, they cited the Edict of Nantes, which gave them rights under the law. King Louis XIV had an answer for that - he would just revoke the Edict which he did in 1685. It is said that this was done on the urging of Madame de Maintenon. Deprived of their rights and being persecuted by the King, Huguenots realized that there was no future for them in France.

' RECORDS of MAUPINS in FRANCE, THEIR ORIGINS AND NAME Excerpts from the published writings of Florence Mary Maupin of Portsmouth, VA. There are numerous written records of the MAUPIN Family in France. The first two are Recherches Genealogi que Sur les Q__QJIL~_ยง__<_:LEO!~Dthie_lJ~~--BoulQ_gJis de Guines et Pay~ Cir:GLIIIIYQLsjQ_ยง, Vol. II by L-E de Gorgue-Rosny, published 1875 in France, chapter "MAUPIN" pg. 967-968 and Nobiliare de Ponthieu et de Vimeu, by the Marquis Rene de Belleval, published 1876 in France, chapter "MAUPIN" pg. 690-693. Photographs of the two relevant pages of these French county histories were sent to William Gabriel Maupin of Portsmouth, VA in 1932 by Charles Morrisette, at that time a well known Heraldist, who had been retained to do research on the family. Another important source is 6rmorial Get!_eral by J. B. Rietstap, first published in Gouda, Holland in 1884. Rietstap in his monumental work gives the "provenance" of the Maupins as PONTHIE U as does de Gorgue-Rosny and de Belleval. The provenance of a noble family, of the knightly class or above, is where they own their land. They held this land only as long as they were sworn to fight for their overlord. The overlord of the Maupi ns, at least at times, seems to have been the King himself. Paris is only 80 miles from the county seat of Ponthieu, which is Abbevi lie, a port on the Somme, 12 miles from the English Channel. Both de Belleval and de Gorgue-Rosny are more specific about the origins of the family. They both use the word "originate" and say that the family originated in Drucat, a village not far from Abbeville. Neither de Gorgue-Rosny nor de Belleval attempted to give what we would call a real genealogy. The name Gabriel or Daniel does not appear in either work. De Gorgue-Rosny's "Maupin" is divided into two sections. The first section is simply a selection of lists, some military, some deed or land records. Some 45 Maupins are named in this section over some 500 years. The earliest being Jean de Maupin, Lord of Friville in 1256 and the latest being Master Louis de Maupin, deputy public prosecutor of Rou in 1725. The second section of his work deals with what was clearly the most famous branch of the family, the dynasty of the Maupins of LA BOUVACQUE. These seven men, for seven generations, each being the heir of his predecessor, were the leading men at Abbeville, county seat of the district of Ponthieu. For almost 250 years they "intermarried with the leading families of our country" (de Belleval) and at least two of them had dealings with the King at Paris. This information that the Lords (owners) of the estate called "La Bouvacque" located in pontt]Jeu and NOT in Navarre puts to rest the family tradition that the Maupins came from Navarre. The La Bouvacque dynasty in Ponthieu ran from about 1380 to 1618. So far as is known, there are no records in France connecting the Maupins to Navarre.

How old the Maupin surname is, is not known. The earliest so-far-known Maupin was Jean de Friville in 1256 (de Gorgue-Rosny ). It is general! y believed that shield-names are not older than the use of painted shields, perhaps in the early 1100's. Most shield-names describe some object, often a natural object. Very common are trees, plants, birds, real or imaginary beasts. Most, but not all, shield-names are menacing in nature. The surname was also the war-cry - it was meant to dismay the enemy in the field. As a group more French shield-names are truly brutal sounding than English ones are. "Maupin" and all the many "Mau" shield-names in French are names i;, this later class. The name "Maupin" is an Old F: ench name. Old French usually written as OF is a ::ialect of Latin that gradually turned into the language nsw called French. It developed slowly in the cent 1 ~ i'ies before and somewhat after the turn of the first Mil":.mnium A D. "Mau" is an Old French word, the best translation for which is probably "Baneful". "Pin" means "Pinetree" in both Old French and Modern Ft-ench (the whole tree not the pine cones). De Belle val says that some of the early Maupins- he does not say which- used to paint the whole pinetree on their blood-red shields in Golden yellow. Since he also gives the crest as it is now used, with the three pine cones, and neither de Gorgue-Rosny nor Rietstap give any other crest except the three pine cone one, the use of this other would seem to be early. The whole pinetree would have been confusing too, as trees look much alike in rough drawings.

The La Bouvacque dynasty in Ponthieu ran from about 1380 to 1618. So far as is known, there are no records in France connecting the Maupins to Navarre.

In an inquiry to the Archives at Pau in Navarre about the Maupin name the answer was "The Maupin name is unknown here, it will be found in the Normandy-Picardy area" (which is in northern France). THE MAUPIN NAME The name "de Maupin" or "le Maupin" (the use of "le" is often earlier) is a Shield-name. A shield-name is a surname adopted by a family in Medieval Europe, always of the knightly class or above, as a short-hand term describing the device which was customarily painted on the fighting shields of the family's mounted warriors. All shield-names, anywhere in Europe, are unique ones. It was punishable by law for any other family to use either the device or the term used to describe it. Armed men could only be recognized by their shields; their helmets either partly or entirely hid their faces. To avoid the unauthorized use of another family's shield, careful lists were kept of the devices. These lists, in France, culminated in Rietstap's monumental work "Armorial General" published in 1884 and still considered the definite work on the subject. How old the Maupin surname is, is not known. The earliest so-far-known Maupin was Jean de Friville in 1256 (de Gorgue-Rosny). It is generally believed that shield-names are not older than the use of painted shields, perhaps in the early 1100's. Most shield-names describe some object, often a natural object. Very common are trees, plants, birds, real or imaginary beasts. Most, but not all, shield-names are menacing in nature. The surname was also the war-cry - it was meant to dismay the enemy in the field. As a group more French shield-names are truly brutal sounding than English ones are. "Maupin" and all the many "Mau" shield-names in French are names in this later class. The name "Maupin" is an Old F: ench name. Old French usually written as OF is a C:ialect of Latin that gradually turned into the language new called French. It developed slowly in the centuries before and somewhat after the turn of the first Mill~nnium A D. "Mau" is an Old French word, the best translation for which is probably "Baneful". "Pin" means "Pinetree" in both Old French and Modern French (the whole tree not the pine cones). De Belleval says that some of the early Maupins- he does not say which- used to paint the whole pinetree on their blood-red shields in Golden yellow. Since he also gives the crest as it is now used, with the three pine cones, and neither de Gorgue-Rosny nor Rietstap give any other crest except the three pine cone one, the use of this other would seem to be early. The whole pinetree would have been confusing too, as trees look much alike in rough drawings. It would have been much to the advantage of the Maupi ns to soon have changed to depicturing the most distinctive feature of

1985 HUGUENOT TOUR - ENGLAND .! I !ill·!

In order to give a broader concept of our Huguenot heritage 1t is necessary to return to the Huguenot Tour In 1985 to Commemorate the 300th Anniversary of the Revocation of the f diet of Nantes. In 1885, there had been a commemoration of this event held in England by Huguenot descendants. From that observance came the formation of the Huguenot Society of london and it was that Society and the Museum of London which did so much to make the 1985 event so memorable. It was eight days of celebration for those of us on the Tour but for England 1t was celebrated the whole of 1985 and covered all of England. The migration of the Huguenots to England had begun in the middle of the 1500's - it is believe that over 40,000 refugees came to England in the reign of Elizabeth I. The Huguenots rapidly established a reputation for their creative skills and hard work. As a part of their Calvinistic teaching they regarded work as a self-discipline and a means to avert temptation. The democratic organization of their church encouraged a strong individual sense of responsl billty. This produced the Huguenot traits of reverence, sobriety, frugality, honest and excellence. The effects of the Huguenot's migration were felt in many areas of English life, in finance, the army, science and the arts. The refugees often combined their talent for science and craftsmanship by making instruments and watches, in textiles, glass, papermaking and many forms of manufacturing. Their skills transformed old methods. They did all this in such a quiet, unassuming way that the term "THE QUIET CONQUEST" was given for the title of the exhibition of the Museum of London which will be described later. After 1685, even though the borders were being watched large numbers left France, going to the Netherlands, to the Protestant states of Germany and to England. All of these countries welcomed them, knowing the skills and talents they possessed. Most of them were not able to bring out of France any of their possessions but the ideas, talents and concepts of their Calvinistic teaching would go with them. Unwittingly, King Louis had driven the "flower of France" from his country but the rest of Europe and the New World would be the greater for it. This pilgrimage of 1985 was not only a commemoration but a memorial with thanksgiving to our Huguenot ancestors who fled their homes leaving behind their material possessions and often family members in order to avoid conversion and persecution and to be able to continue to worship as they believed. It has been said that over 200,000 Huguenots fled France depleting it of many of its most gifted and talented artisans, professional and military persons. England was by far the greatest recipient of these refugees.

their chosen tree, its cones. Here is Rietstap's description of the full device. "The shield: red, shows three gold pine cones. The crest: a unicorn rising; The supports: two savages, girth with green". Contrary to common belief most shield-devices were traditional. They were not awards for any sort of valor. Soon after the use of painted shields followed the use of painted ponchos worn over armor. These were literally coats, of course, and were called "Coats of Arms". MAUPIN. En Ponthieu.

The first day of our eight day stay in England was a service at St. Paul's Cathedral by the Archbishop of Canterbury, followed by a reception at Goldsmith's Hall. This was to honor the Huguenots for their contribution to goldsmithing and silversmithing. Next to Greenwich, where prominent Huguenot families lived, giving their contributions to clocks and telescopes. The third day took us to the city of Canterbury for a worship service in the Huguenot Crypt at Canterbury Cathedral. The Huguenots first held services there about 1575. Of the several French settlements in the London area, we were taken to Spitalfields to learn of their huge contribution to the production of fabrics in weaving, lace making and tailoring in all phases. The Huguenots were unparalleled in their field of design In things of beauty. But the most outstanding of all was in the Museum of London, called "THE QUIET CONQUEST", an exhibition路 of Huguenot fine craftmanship in art, sculpture, silver, textiles and watches. It was a remarkable display, showing England's years of planning to exhibit the Huguenot institutions and churches, in science and industry. The book "THE QUIET CONQUEST, THE HUGUENOTS, 1685 TO 1985", published by the Museum of London in association with the Huguenot Society of London was purchased by this writer and it is a cherished possession. It is 325 pages of Huguenot history with pictures and articles about the talents and contributions of the Huguenots. England, being the greatest recipient of the talents of the Huguenots, showed their appreciation and gratitude In this beautiful commemoration. The talents of these Huguenots were shared with other countries. The Colonies benefited also beginning with the Pilgrims who had a Calvinistic background in their beliefs and to give路 a name the family of Priscilla Mullins were Huguenots. 路Later men of the Revolution like Paul Revere, a silversmith, who was a Huguenot. Down through our history persons of Huguenot ancestry have made their contribution to the arts. To name a few - Henry Wadsworth Longfellow, Henry David Thoreau, James J. Audubon and others. From our eight day visit In England, we came away with a new awareness of the great contributions of the Huguenots In the fields of textiles and dress, clocks and watches, goldsmiths, silversmith, gunmakers, furniture and woodwork, jewelers and ceramics. And in their faith, their discipline and way of life, we truly have a great heritage.

THE SEARCH Working on family history is sometimes like throwing a jig saw puzzle out of Its box onto the table and then trying to find the place to begin. Sometimes It is at the top, sometimes at the bottom or even in the middle if the piece looks "right". So it might seem as I relate how the pieces of the puzzle come together In our Maupin history. So I set out to find if Marie was a Spencer of England or not with this doubt cast upon it. I wanted to find a record of Gabriel and Marie's marriage if it was available and I knew If she was a Spencer of Althrop or Cople it would be on record. First the firm of Noel-Currier-Briggs in England was employed to search. Negative. Then in June 1981, I employed Mrs. Hickey, genealogist for the Huguenot Society of London. Negative She suggested I try "Debretts of London" (they do the Presidents' lineages). They worked 20 months for me. The Spencers of Althrop were eliminated right away so I asked them to search the Spencers of Cople. This is the family of the Nicholas Spencer who was the Governor of Virginia in the 1600's; then they searched the Spencers of South Mylls. They are the New England Spencers. All these lines proved Negative - no record of a Gabriel Maupin and Mary Spencer. This was all very disappointing but I knew I had to continue the search. Being familiar with the work of the Mormon church in Salt Lake City and of their filming all the available old church and genealogical records all over the world, I decided that a trip to Salt Lake City was a must. I went in January 1985 for eight days. I had searched all the possible counties in England for Gabriel and Marie, all of France that had been filmed, then Switzerland and on the 7th day I turned to the Netherlands. There was a listing of "Huguenot Immigration to the Netherlands". This was on fiche - index listings. Finding the right "M" roll #199888 was easy and I began to turn the film. After seven days of looking at the screen my eyes and arm were beginning to feel the strain, so I was not turning very fast. But all of a sudden, like a bolt from the blue, the name of "MAUPAIN, GABRIEL" appeared on the screen! I could not believe my eyes! That elusive name I had searched for so long was right before me! Not only one time but ten times! Even though we are supposed to be quiet in the library I could hardly keep from standing up and shouting "I have made a discovery"! I did restrain myself but called my friends to share my excitement. The spelling of our Maupin name as "MAUPAIN" was the same as appeared on the ship Le Nasseau passenger list given to us by Robert A. Brock in his book "Huguenot Immigration to Virginia". A page of that book showing "Gabriel Maupain sa femme and 3 enfans" will be shown. That meant that Gabriel brought his wife and 3 children - no names listed. For many

---- ----------11 Deneale, a well-known Fairfax county, Virginia, name, is probably a corruption of Deneille. 1 ' Baird, II, 41, states that Jean Thomas settled in South Carolina, and gi,·es from Lisle de·s Francois 1!1 Suisses Rifugiez in Caroline this extract: ,_Jean Thomas, n~ a St. Jean d' Angely in Saintonge, fils de Jean Thomas et d'Anne.Dupon. tO The name is now rendered Maupin in Virginia. An estimable representati•·e was the late Socrates Maupin, Professor of Chemistry in th-: University of Virgini;~ (I853-187f}, and chairman of its faculty (1854-I868); killed by a fall from his horse October 19, 1871. Daniel Maupin, doubtless a son of the refugee, was granted 1,188 acres of land in Albemarle county September 20, 1745· (Virginia Land Regis· iry, Book No. 31, page 652.) Gabriel Maupin was keeper of the public magazine at \Villiamsburg in 1791.

years Mr. Brock's passenger list was the only document known and it was supposed that the three children were Mary, Gabriel II, and Daniel. Then another document had surfaced - the "HEADRIGHTS DOCUMENT". This gave us the names of the children. In 1709 Gabriel applied for his "Headrights" in Henrico County, VA, where the Huguenot settlement of Manakin was located. By headrights is meant that each person imported could apply for 50 acres of land. Gabriel's record reads: "Upon the petition of Gabriel Maupin this is to certify that there is due unto him 250 acres of land for the importation of himself and Mary his wife, with Magdelaine, Mary, and Daniel his children into this Colony the same being legally proved in open Court". Now we have the names of the children who came with Gabriel and his wife but who is this Magdelaine and where is Gabriel II? This document had been seen first in 1950 by Mildred Holloday, a Gabriel II descendant, but was not known to the Daniel descendants until it was found in York County, VA, records by Carolyn Farmer of Houston, TX, in 1980. A portion of the whole document page will be shown. This is legal proof of the names of the children who came with Gabriel and Marie Maupin to Virginia. Returning to the films found in the LOS Library in Salt Lake City, there were ten separate entries and they are shown with more detail. But to describe them briefly, Gabriel is shown as being received in the Church at Amsterdam in October 1688 and again in February 1689 for "confession of faith". In December 1689 he applied for Dutch citizenship but that move was never completed. In August 1691 "Proclamation for marriage" or "Banns" were posted with the Marriage of Gabriel and Marie in September, 1691. The baptism of four children are listed, Magdelaine, 1692, Claude, 1694, Marie 1696 and Sara, 1698. Even though the first born on these records Magdelaine and Mary were the same as on the "Headrights" document, who was the son Claude and the daughter Sara Catherine and what had become of them and where was Daniel and Gabriel Jr.? But I felt it was surely our Gabriel and Marie even though I could not make out Marie's last name. I went directly to the attendant in the Netherlands section who was very helpful saying I should write to the Archives in Amsterdam and he gave me the address. I wrote sending them a copy of the film and they answered promptly saying "Yes" they could help and giving me the fee to start the search. My husband and I had made reservations for the upcoming International Huguenot Tour to Commemorate the 300th anniversary of the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes to be held in England, Netherlands and France in September - October 1985. Two weeks before we were to leave the letter came from the Archives with the information about the family and the church. We left on the Tour and for 28 days we were filled with Huguenot history. This event will be discussed in other

Deneale, a well-known Fairfax county, Virginia, name, is probably a corruption of Deneille. "Baird, II, 41, states that Jean Thomas settled in South Carolina, and gives from Lisle de·s Francois el Suisses Rifugiez in Caroline this extract: •· Jean Thomas, no! ll St. Jean d' Angely in Saintonge, fils de Jean Thomas et d'Anne.Dupon. 20 The name is now rendered Maupin in Virginia. An estimable representative was the late Socrates Maupin, Professor of Chemistry in th-.: University of Virgini<l ( I853-187r), and chairman of its faculty (1854·1868); killed by a fall from his horse October 19, 1871. Daniel l\1;tupin, doubtless a son of the refugee, was granted 1,188 acres of land in Albemarle county St:ptember 20, 1745· (Virginia Land Regis· iry, Book No. 31, page 652. J Gabriel Maupin was keeper of the public magazine at \Villiarnsburg in 1791.

years Mr. Brock's passenger list was the only document known and it was supposed that the three children were Mary, Gabriel II, and Daniel. Then another document had surfaced - the "HEADRIGHTS DOCUMENT". This gave us the names of the children. In 1709 Gabriel applied for his "Headrights" in Henrico County, VA, where the Huguenot settlement of Manakin was located. By headrights is meant that each person imported could apply for 50 acres of land. Gabriel's record reads: "Upon the petition of Gabriel Maupin this is to certify that there is due unto him 250 acres of land for the importation of himself and Mary his wife, with Magdelaine, Mary, and Daniel his children Into this Colony the same being legally proved in open Court". Now we have the names of the children who came with Gabriel and his wife but who is this Magdelaine and where is Gabriel II? This document had been seen first in 1950 by Mildred Holladay, a Gabriel II descendant, but was not known to the Daniel descendants until it was found in York County, VA, records by Carolyn Farmer of Houston, TX, in 1980. A portion of the whole document page will be shown. This is legal proof of the names of the children who came with Gabriel and Marie Maupin to Virginia. Returning to the films found in the LDS Library in Salt Lake City, there were ten separate entries and they are shown with more detail. But to describe them briefly, Gabriel is shown as being received in the Church at Amsterdam in October 1688 and again in February 1689 for "confession of faith". In December 1689 he applied for Dutch citizenship but that move was never completed. In August 1691 "Proclamation for marriage" or "Banns" were posted with the Marriage of Gabriel and Marie in September, 1691. The baptism of four children are listed, Magdelaine, 1692, Claude, 1694, Marie 1696 and Sara, 1698. Even though the first born on these records Magdelaine and Mary were the same as on the "Headrights" document, who was the son Claude and the daughter Sara Catherine and what had become of them and where was Daniel and Gabriel Jr.? But I felt it was surety our Gabriel and Marie even though I could not make out Marie's last name. I went directly to the attendant in the Netherlands section who was very helpful saying I should write to the Archives in Amsterdam and he gave me the address. I wrote sending them a copy of the film and they answered promptly saying "Yes" they could help and giving me the fee to start the search. My husband and I had made reservations for the upcoming International Huguenot Tour to Commemorate the 300th anniversary of the Revocation of the Edict of Nantes to be held in England, Netherlands and France in September - October 1985. Two weeks before we were to leave the letter came from the Archives with the information about the family and the church. We left on the Tour and for 28 days we were filled with Huguenot history. This event will be discussed in other

of the

,,,,,,,

chapters. Although the Tour covered all of the Netherlands to my great disappointment we did not have time in Amsterdam to find the church and take some pictures. The bus driver said he was very sorry but the church was located in the very old part of Amsterdam and the streets were too narrow to allow a bus to use them. I was almost sick with disappointment not to get to see the church where Gabriel and Marie were married but as we were scheduled to be in Paris that evening we felt we should not leave the Tour. But sometimes when doors are closed to us it is for a definite reason. And it was so true in this instance. Our time in France was a wonderful experience and I did not want to miss one minute of it. It is covered in another chapter. A month after returning from the Huguenot Tour I received a notice that our school district from which I had retired would have a "Spring Break" tour to Amsterdam in March 1986. This was an answer to my prayers and perhaps the reason the door was closed to me earlier because if I had seen the church on the Huguenot Tour I might not have made the second trip. I began right away a correspondence with the pastor of the Walloon Church, Phillip Fromont, and in March returned to Amsterdam for eight wonderful days of visiting, going to the Archives, the Walloon Library where the original indexes of the films I had found in Salt Lake City were kept. This trip to Amsterdam in 1986, has to be given more attention because I feel that in the important events in my life this trip is very high on the list and I want to share it with my readers. With my school friends we flew from Kansas City to New York. When the appointed time of departure came we were told there would be a delay. So we waited, two hours in fact, and then after take-off we were told it was because of a flat tire on the plane. As is usually the case, this was a night flight, scheduled to arrive in Amsterdam at 7:20a.m. on a Sunday morning. After I knew I was to make the trip, I had corresponded with the Pastor of the church and he had sent me a church bulletin showing that their Sunday morning service would be at 11:00 a.m. and he was most cordial in his invitation that I attend. it would be my only chance as we would be leaving the next Sunday morning. This I felt would be a real highlight of the trip. As we hurtled along in the darkness, I felt perhaps the pilot was trying to make up our delayed time as we seemed to be thrashing about a lot. Then the lightning and rain appeared on the window. Having flown a number of times before, I tried not to be concerned but you still have the knowledge in the back of your mind that there is a big pond of water below you! Finally dawn came - that is there was no darkness out of the window but we could see nothing! Just thick fog! And even though I did not know where we were I could see my watch and it told me that we had passed our 7:30 arrival time in Amsterdam. The pilot came on telling us the cities we were

circling because of the fog and up to that time all planes were being diverted to Brussels, Belgium! My heart sank and even though I had not slept but prayed a lot of the night, I began to :;end the most urgent prayers to my Lord. Was it God's Will that for a second time I would not be able to get to the church? The c-:aptain's voice came on again telling us we would be the first plane to land in Amsterdam and we would be on the ground at 12:30 p.m. I knew that the 11:00 church service was over but will have to admit when the wheels touched down even though we could not see a thing out of the windows, I said, "Thank you l_ord" and somehow felt everything would be alright. We were taken quickly to our hotel and I immediately went to the desk clerk and asked for a taxi and showed her the address of the church. I was hoping that someone would still be around. The clerk said It would really be quicker for me if I could walk and she gave me the directions. My roommate was with me, we walked as fast as we could. Arriving at the church door we found it locked but we could hear organ music from the inside. There was a young man sitting nearby and I asked him if he knew how I could get the attention of someone on the inside. He went to a side door and very soon the front door of the church opened and there was Pastor Fromont, still in his church r-obes with his arms outstretched saying, "Welcome, Mrs. Shaffett, Come in, we have been waiting for you!" It was then 1 :30 p.m. His wife, their three children and the assistant pastor were there. The Pastor said, "Join hands and pray". The prayer was in French as he speaks only a little English and his wife none at all. And then I prayed and it truly came from the heart because we had come safely through a stormy night- five hours late in arriving and I had made it to the church even if it: was not on time! I told them of what we had experienced in the weather and they were very sympathetic. I had sent him a copy of the record of Gabriel and Marie Maupin from the Archives and he told me that the streets where they had lived were virtually unchanged since the 17th century, and were close to the church. The assistant pastor volunteered to take me there during the week. The Pastor said he had gifts for me and what an assortment of books, pamphlets and other information on the Huguenots! But the most prized gift was a record album of their beautiful organ music. On the album cover it told the history of the organ. It had been installed in 1680 and had very few changes except maintenance since that time. So as Gabriel and Marie were married in this church in 1691, it would have no doubt played for their wedding. And most assuredly they would have heard it each Sunday. He also to I d me that the church was bui It in 1409 and given to the Protestants in 1578. After awhile, because she did not speak English, the Pastor's wife took the children to their car and went home. The Pastor wanted to talk more and said he wanted to walk back to our

circling because of the fog and up to that time all planes were being diverted to Brussels, Belgium! My heart sank and even though I had not slept but prayed a lot of the night, I began to send the most urgent prayers to my Lord. Was it God's Will that for a second time I would not be able to get to the church? The Captain's voice came on again telling us we would be the first plane to land in Amsterdam and we would be on the ground at 12:30 p.m. I knew that the 11:00 church service was over but will have to admit when the wheels touched down even though we could not see a thing out of the windows, I said, "Thank you Lord" and somehow felt everything would be alright.

There was a young man sitting nearby and I asked him if he knew how I could get the attention of someone on the inside. He went to a side door and very soon the front door of the church opened and there was Pastor Fromont, still in his church robes with his arms outstretched saying, "Welcome, Mrs. Shaffett, Come in, we have been waiting for you!" It was then 1:30 p.m. His wife, their three children and the assistant pastor were there. The Pastor said, "Join hands and pray". The prayer was in French as he speaks only a little English and his wife none at all.

I told them of what we had experienced in the weather and they were very sympathetic. I had sent him a copy of the record of Gabriel and Marie Maupin from the Archives and he told me that the streets where they had lived were virtually unchanged since the 17th century, and were close to the church. The assistant pastor volunteered to take me there during the week. The Pastor said he had gifts for me and what an assortment of books, pamphlets and other information on the Huguenots! But the most prized gift was a record album of their beautiful organ music. On the album cover it told the history of the organ. It had been installed in 1680 and had very few changes except maintenance since that time. So as Gabriel and Marie were married in this church in 1691, it would have no doubt played for their wedding. And most assuredly they would have heard it each Sunday. He also told me that the church was built in 1409 and given to the Protestants in 1578. After awhile, because she did not speak English, the Pastor's wife took the children to their car and went home. The Pastor wanted to talk more and said he wanted to walk back to our 41

hotel with us. As my roommate was a widow of a minister, she was very interested in what he had to say. She had known little about the Huguenots. He set a time to pick me up on Tuesday to go to the Huguenot Library and meet some Huguenot friends and then again to meet on Thursday and Friday. After getting back to the hotel, I was able to look more closely at the record album and knowing they had some they wanted to sell I asked the desk clerk to call the Pastor for me. In expressing my thanks I told him I thought the album would make wonderful gifts to take home and could he please bring five of them when he came to pick me up on Tuesday? He said he would be happy to. To give an example of how language can lead you astray sometimes - Pastor Fromont was right on time on Tuesday and I was waiting in the lobby. He greeted me with a smile and said "Mrs Shaffett, I have brought the albums!" And he pulled five BOOKS out of a bag! I said, "Oh Pastor, I wanted the albums!" "This is an album", he answered. I said, "I wanted the organ music". His answer, "I am so sorry - you wanted the platters!" Then we both laughed. In my gift on Sunday had been two nice sized books and he thought that was what I was asking for. So he said the "platters" would be ready for me when I came to the church on Thursday. And what wonderful gifts they made! I had mine put on tape so it can be enjoyed while in the car or anywhere I happen to be and want to relive those wonderful feelings and memories of that Sunday in the Walloon Church in Amsterdam when the organ music and the prayers seemed to enfold me. I truly felt God's presence and an answer to my prayers. The trip to the Huguenot Library on Tuesday was wonderful. I was able to look at the original records that had been filmed by the LOS Church and marked reel :11:199888, where the Gabriel Maupin information was found. The Pastor introduced me to the President of the Protestant Society of the Netherlands, Mademoiselle M.F.G. Corbier, a French lady who makes her home in Amsterdam and speaks beautiful English. She was with me at the Huguenot Library and looked over all the Maupin papers I had brought with me. She could find no reason for the Gabriel and Marie Maupin found in the records of the Walloon Church in Amsterdam not to be those of the couple who came as Huguenot refugees to Virginia in 1700. There were too many similarities not to be the same couple. She was very interested in the "Headrights" document giving the names of the children imported to Virginia- Magdelaine, Mary, and Daniel, comparing it to the baptismal record from the church in Amsterdam which also showed Magdelaine as the oldest child. She noted that Daniel, being listed first in his father's Will would indicate he was the oldest living son. She went on to explain that Gabriel and Marie had some important names as friends or relatives on the baptism of their children. Claude Brousson was the famous Huguenot martyr. Jeanne was his mother. Jerome Brousson was

the son of Claude's brother, Daniel Brousson, also a famous Huguenot minister. Gabriel's cousin Louys Le Gendre was his witness for his marriage. The LeGendre family was the leading banking fami I y in France. They were Huguenots and headquartered In Rauen. His cousin Phillip Le Gendre was another Huguenot minister in Rotterdam. Mademoiselle Corbier also noted that Gabriel worked as a "tailor" while in Amsterdam. She said it was not unusual for the refugees to take whatever kind of work they could, especially if they had a family and did not necessarily indicate that this was their vocation in France. She explained that the surname of Marie appearing on the church records as "Ersen" and other spellings was because in French both an "H" and "T" are silent and whoever took down their information wrote it as it sounded. Marie's surname "Hersent" is a fairly common French name. She also advised me to write the Protestant Society of France in Paris, giving me the address and the person to contact. Mile Cor bier had been one of the principal speakers on Huguenot history in Paris in 1985 at the 300th Commemoration. The afternoon spent at the Walloon Library with this new Huguenot friend was very enlightening and much appreciated. On Thursday the day was spent in the Archives of Amsterdam. The building is old but all the inside plus the equipment had been recently renovated and was a delightful place to work. They speak English and are very helpful. I was looking for any mention of Gabriel and Marie after the church entry of 1698, birth of Sara Catherine, to possibly tell something about how or where they spent the two years from 1698 to 1700. We knew they sailed from England to Virginia but when did they leave Amsterdam? The attendant told me that Gabriel had applied for Dutch citizenship but it was never completed and that deaths were not in church records. Another question they could not answer for me - where in France was the town "Gargau" that Gabriel had said he was from. The attendant checked all the old maps and books available and finally said it could be a village or part of a city too small to record. It will be several years before this answer is given to us. I asked about the fact that both parents of Gabriel and Marie were listed as "deceased". He said that was not unusual and it was done to protect the family or others of their faith who were left behind in France from persecution. On Friday another day was spent at the church with the Pastor and his assistant. It was his assistant who took me to the streets where Gabriel and Marie each lived before their marriage as shown on the Church record. I did not know the exact houses in which they lived but took pictures of several houses. The streets are short, it could be any one of them. The houses in Amsterdam are all connected together - we call them "townhouses" today and think we have something new! as I walked those cobblestones, I was overcome with pleasure and

The houses in Amsterdam are all connected together - we call them "townhouses" today and think we have something new! as I walked those cobblestones, I was overcome with pleasure and

curiosity about this young couple - what did they look like how did they meet - possibly at church, I thought. It was a wonderful experience. Saturday was a day for last minute sightseeing and saying farewell to a beautiful week in my lifea wonderful spiritual experience. I will never forget Amsterdam! After my return from Amsterdam in 1986, I wrote to the Protestant Society in Paris and found a researcher, Pasteur Denis Vantil of Poiters, France. He knew the MAUPIN family was from Normandie but could find no information on Gabriel. This is his answer on Marie, "I think I can identify your ancestor, Marie Hersent. She is said to have been from Rouen at the time of her marriage in Amsterdam in 1691. However, there was not a single baptism, marriage or death in the name of Hersent found in the Protestant state register in Rouen. The indication "from Rouen" signified that she came from the church of Rouen and not necessarily that she was born there. I have found a Marie Hersent who was born in Guevres near Dieppe and baptized at the temple of Luneray on Sept. 15, 1664. She was the eldest daughter of Louis Hersent and Marie Pillon. What led me to her identity was finding the marriage of her cousin, Francois Marie, witness to her marriage. Francois Marie was born in 1641 and married in Rouen December 3, 1682 to Marguerite Chapperon who was the daughter of Pierre Chapperon and Marguerite LARCHEVASQUE. Louis Hersent, Marie's father, was the son of David Hersent (1600-1671) and Anne LARCHEVASQUE. Marguerite and Anne were therefore closely related, sisters or cousins. The Hersent family of the region of Dieppe were craftsmen, shoemakers, rope makers, cloth makers and weavers. The mother of Marie Hersent, Marie Pillion, belongs to a family of rather wealthy laborers. Her father, Pierre Pillon, was as well as a laborer, a manager of the workers of Marfauville and of Coudry. That is to say he received taxes from the peasants for his employers. In 1681 the Protestants being excluded from all offices Pillon had to resign". Then Pasteur suggested that I inquire at the Central Genealogy Bureau at Le Hague. This I did with no new results. I then wrote to the Archives of Abbeville and Rouen and they each answered in the same way that Protestant records were very few and those available were not indexed making them very difficult to locate. Neither of these Archives could identify the town or village of "GARGAU" that Gabriel had said he was from on the records in Amsterdam. The answer to that puzzle was still in the future. PARIS - April 1988 In April 1988, I went to Paris for 8 days to research or to find someone to do it for me. Before going I had written to the Protestant Society in Paris, giving them the name of my hotel and asking to employ a researcher or someone to act as my guide and spokesperson while there. I asked at the hotel if there were messages for me and being none, called the phone

number of the Society and getting no answer, went to their address. The door was locked - no response. This was very disappointing. So, I went out on my own. Before going further, this explanation needs to be given in credit to the Society. After I returned from Paris, they sent me a letter making an apology for what had happened. Their Society, like many here, is staffed by volunteers. Somehow, my letter had been picked up by someone and got put aside not being opened until I had left Paris. Also during the days I was there, they had been closed for a I ittle renovation. I understood the situation and want to explain what happened and to say that I have the highest praise for the Society -they have been most helpful a number of times with suggestions and researchers. Even though I had been to Paris in 1985 it was with the Huguenot Tour so this was different! Armed with a city map and using the METRO, I found getting around Paris quite easy and fun - even alone! The National Library was a challenge. As a foreign visitor you are limited to two days at the library. It took about 2 hours to be admitted. First there is a vtait for a personal interview as to the reason and purpose of the visit. Then you are photographed and given a card that looks like a driver's license. It is all for security reasons. I found nothing there on the Maupins that I did not already have. On my visit to their National Archives I found the Archivist to be helpful. She could speak English. I showed her the information I had with me - they had both histories written by de Gorgue and de Belleval. I explained that the purpose of my trip was to document the tradition of Gabriel Maupin's parentage. Dr. Socrates Maupin, the earliest historian gave no hint whatsoever of the parentage of Gabriel in his writings from 1837 to his death in 1871. The article in the Virginia Magazine in 1901 and in William Harris Miller's "Histories and Genealogies" in 1907 also did not give a clue. It appears for the first time in the writing of Eugene Maupin in the late 1920's. This is what Eugene wrote under the title "TRADITIONS" -Quote "The first written records concerning the family are those dealing with Firmin le Maupin, Squire of Bouvacque in Navarre. His wife was Jean d'Aibisse and he was a member of Parliament about the middle of the 16th century. He had a son, Ambrose, and a daughter, Genevieve le Maupin. There is a record of the marriage of this daughter to John de Poussemothe, the marriage taking place in Paris, September 30, 1549. Tradition takes over this written record and says that Ambrose de Maupin, son of Firmin le Maupin, had a son, Amos, who is supposed to have been the father of Gabriel Maupin". End of quote. I had carried with me to the Archives a copy of this French genealogy of the de POUSSEMOTHE family which gives the marriage of Genevieve le Maupin, daughter of Firmin le Maupin, Sieur (owner) of Bouvacque (which is in Ponthieu and not Navarre) and his wife Jeanne d'Aibisse.

information and after checking other records her answer was that this Firman who had a daughter named Genevieve DID NOT have a son named Ambrose. So where did this tradition come from? And why did Eugene record it? From a study of his files I have gathered this information. In 1920 a copy of this genealogy of the Poussemothe family was sent to William Harris Miller from Miss Anna Marie (Nannie) Maupin of Portsmouth, VA. Miller sent this information to Eugene in 1922. Another family member who had this tradition was Charles Smith Maupin of Oklahoma City, Okla. He was born in Albemarle County, VA in 1846, a grandson of Mary Graves Spencer Maupin and a nephew of Dr. Socrates Maupin. So it is correctly understood this information was sent to Eugene Maupin in letters written by Dr. A.A. Maupin, son of Charles Smith Maupin who was at that time too old and sick to write. Neither Eugene Maupin nor William Harris Miller ever met Charles S. Maupin in person. In a letter written in October 1923 to Eugene, Mr. Maupin writes for his father "Now what I cannot at this time prove but it is family history or tradition handed down in our line. Firmin Maupin, a member of French Parliament in Henry III time had a son named Ambrose who married a daughter of one of the Capets. They had a son named Amos who married a granddaughter of the King of Navarre and they were the parents of Gabriel Maupin, our ancestor". Now what is the SOURCE of this tradition? Of all the traditions, I have felt bound to document this one for several reasons. First, it would put Gabriel in royal lines of France. Those lines are all well documented and the Maupin name does not appear in them unless it would be from an illegitimate birth of which there are many in royal lines. The timing is not right, that is, Firmin had a daughter of marriageable age in 1549 could he have had a grandson born in 1661? And what about the genealogy at the Archives which says that this Firmin, father of Genevieve did not have a son named Ambrose? These facts are being recorded because some of the Maupin family members hold this tradition to be a truth but it needs to be resolved in the same manner that Gabriel's wife, Marie, was said to be the daughter of an Earl Spencer in England and that has been disproved. Could it be that someone wanted to "elevate" Gabriel's lineage to royalty? After reading a good number of the royal histories, that for me is not a desired ancestry- give me our Huguenot background any time. Charles Smith Maupin died in 1925 and William Harris Miller in 1928, so why Eugene Maupin recorded this tradition in the 1930's, I do not know. Perhaps he heard from another source not found in his files. This tradition needs to be resolved.

Gary Maupin of Fairfax, '/irginia, by sponsoring research in :tnce to find the parents and birthplace of our immigrant tncestor, Gabriel Maupin, has found what I believe to be a key i'·H·t of the puzzle. In the summer of 1988 Gary sponsored Kevin Ketscher, an •utstanding young man who "lived on the Lawn" as a senior at the University of Virginia. That is the honor going to the very t•JP seniors at Virginia University who live in the 19th century Jt:fferson designed rooms along the lawn below the Rotunda. I hat gives you an idea of his capabilities. Kevin visited many 'ities and towns in France, wrote a report on each and a final : ummary, giving his contacts, comments and conclusions. Gary ~rad provided him with the traditions and information that was .tvailable. Kevin's report will be summarized. 1

F~OUEN

Kevin's search began at the Archives in Rouen. On the marriage record from Amsterdam for Gabriel and Marie, each qave the city they were "from" -that did not necessarily mean that they were born there. Gabriel gave his town as "Gargau" which no one seemed to be able to identify. Marie, however, said she was from Rouen so that was the starting point. His first question for them was about "Gargau" - did anyone know if it was part of the city of Rouen in present or ancient times or where in France it might be. After looking extensively on two separate occasions, the people working there found no record of it. All the cross-reference material was checked and no mention of the name Maupin or Hersent. There were. however, a lot by the name of le Gendre, and that is probably because the Le Gendre family were the leading bankers in France at the time of King Louis XIV with headquarters in Rouen and they were Huguenots. The witness for Gabriel at his marriage was his cousin, Louys Le Gendre from Rouen. Many of their family went to Holland. Kevin was assisted by Paul Rouet, Head of the "Genealogical Circle of Picardie" and he discounted any connection between the Maupi ns and King Anthony of Navarre because he says the lineage of Anthony of Navarre has been thoroughly documented and he found no mention of Maupins in it. It is true that Rouen was a prominent Protestant center at this time of history and it is the city where Joan of Arc was burned at the stake but for Maupin research for Gabriel it did not prove fruitful.

Gary Maupin of Fairfax, Virginia, by sponsoring research in 1-r路ance to find the parents and birthplace of our immigrant ancestor, Gabriel Maupin, has found what I believe to be a key part of the puzzle.

That is the honor going to the very top seniors at Virginia University who live in the 19th century .Jefferson designed rooms along the lawn below the Rotunda. That gives you an idea of his capabilities. Kevin visited many cities and towns in France, wrote a report on each and a final summary, giving his contacts, comments and conclusions. Gary had provided him with the traditions and information that was available. Kevin's report will be summarized.

ROUEN Kevin's search began at the Archives in Rouen. On the marriage record from Amsterdam for Gabriel and Marie, each gave the city they were "from" - that did not necessarily mean that they were born there. Gabriel gave his town as "Gargau" which no one seemed to be able to identify. Marie, however, said she was from Rouen so that was the starting point. His first question for them was about "Gargau" - did anyone know if it was part of the city of Rouen in present or ancient times or where in France it might be. After looking extensively on two separate occasions, the people working there found no record of it. All the cross-reference material was checked and no mention of the name Maupin or Hersent. There were, however, a lot by the name of le Gendre, and that is probably because the Le Gendre family were the leading bankers in France at the time of King Louis XIV with headquarters in Rouen and they were Huguenots. The witness for Gabriel at his marriage was his cousin, Louys LeGendre from Rouen. Many of their family went to Holland. Kevin was assisted by Paul Rouet, Head of the "Genealogical Circle of Picardie" and he discounted any connection between the Maupi ns and King Anthony of Navarre because he says the I i neage of Anthony of Navarre has been thorough I y documented and he found no mention of Maupins in it. It is true that Rouen was a prominent Protestant center at this time of history and it is the city where Joan of Arc was burned at the stake but for Maupin research for Gabriel it did not prove fruitful.

ABBEVILLE Kevin had access there to both French history books by Gorgue-Rosny and de Bellevel which gave the history of the

Maupin family in the Abbeville area. It is located about 80 miles West-路NW of Paris. In ancient times it was in the county of Ponthieu. It was probably the most important city in that part of France. Today it is in the Department of Somme which has its seat at Amiems where their Archives are located. Drucat is a town a few kilometers to the North. The estate La Bouvacque, owned by Maupins for hundreds of years, lies between Drucat and Abbeville. In the 1500 and 1600's there seems to have been many Maupins in this area and still a lot today. l<.evin told of walking to the "Pare f'.1unicipal de Ia Bouvaque" and his impressions of this old Maupin estate that is now a municipal park. He found that there were gardening plots for the use of the residents but in the middle of the park was a beautiful setting with a creek running down one side with geese and swans swimming about. Everything looked so green, even the tall trees that were planted close together in perfect lines along the path had light green moss all over their trunks. These were all about 80-100 feet tall -they looked very old. The name "Bouvaque" as described by the lady in the tourist office implied that it was once a place for beef and dairy cattle. This tells us something about our early Maupins and their livelihood. Kevin had the assistance of Paul Rouet but no connection could be found to our immigrant Gabriel in this area. There, as elsewhere in France, Protestant records are very scarce, especially in this area because of the intense bombing in World War II. PARJS At the National Archives and Library Kevin's experience was much the same as mine- not very productive- finding only the material that was already known. The legal documents which had been filmed were not readable - both from the poor copy and the writing either in Old French or New French ~.;as not legible. The name "Maupin" appeared and in some cases it could be distinguished but no given names appeared with it. The Protestant Society Library in Paris was again very helpful. It was at their library that a report of Synods or meetings of the protestant churches was found. In 1559 the first General Synod of the Reformed Church in France was attended by representatives of seventy-two churches. As a result of the Synod, over one hundred ministers were trained in Geneva under the teachings and leadership of Calvin and took up formal duties at the new French churches. In a Synod in 1641 there appeared a DANIEL MAUPIN, Elder of the church at Gergeau (Gargeau) along with a Francois de La Galere looking for a pastor to fill a vacancy at their church in Gargeau! At the same meeting was also a Samuel Le Gendre. The路路name Le Gendre appears on Gabriel's marriage record as a witness. As Gargeau

was in the Department of Loriet with Archives in Orleans that was Kevin's next visit! LORIET - ARCHIVES at ORLEANS Orleans is a short distance southwest of Paris. It was there that for the long looked for answer to the question of what or where was the town of "GARGAU" that Gabriel had said he was from when he went to Amsterdam. It was from the town of "Gargeau" now changed from the Old French spelling to New French "Jargeau"! It is located a few miles east of Orleans. There for the first time in Kevin's research did he find a record of the given name of Daniel or Gabriel for a Maupin. In the book "Le Protestantisme a Jargeau de 1601-1685" by P. A. LeRoy published in Orleans 1898 we find this record of baptisms with parents and godparents listed. Baptized 1628 a Daniel Maupin whose father is also a Daniel Maupin. Baptized in 1622 a Gabriel Maupin whose father was Estienne Maupin (Stephen). He also was the father of Elizabeth. Daniel was also the father of Marguerite and Suzanne. It is true that as of yet we do not have the names of the parents of our Gabriel Maupin but it is logical to assume that as he listed he was from "Gargau"- (the "e" left out of the Dutch record) he very well could be from this area and from one of these two men, most likely the Daniel, baptized in 1628 whose father, Daniel, attended the Synod in 1641 looking for a pastor for his church. The Daniel baptized In 1628 would be about 36 years of age when our Gabriel was born in 1664. I later sent all this Information to the Protestant Society Library in Paris for their study and opinion and it was their conclusion that this must certainly be the right place to find our ancestor and his parent was most likely Daniel. The Immigrant Gabriel named their oldest living son, Daniel, which would follow the pattern of the time to name that son after the paternal grandfather. It is true that in Amsterdam they named their first born son, "Claude" but feel that was to honor the name of the godfather, Claude Brousson, the great Huguenot minister and soon to be martyr. They no doubt were very pleased and honored to have this great Protestant minister with his mother, Jeanne Brousson, to be witnesses to their son's baptism. Against warnings of the danger Claude Brousson returned to France to try to be of help to the Protestants left there. He was arrested and executed on the wheel and rack on 4 November 1698. It was between 1698 and 1700 that Gabriel and Marie left Amsterdam for England. How do we know what affect this execution of their friend might have influenced the young couple to seek refuge in the new world? We have no record of son Claude after his baptism in Amsterdam so he must have died as an infant. The church in Amsterdam did not record deaths. We do know however, that our Daniel according to his obituary In the Virginia Independent Chronicle was born 25 March 1700

and was the oldest living son. We know definitely that Gabriel came "from" Gargeau and it can well be assumed, until we get definite proof, that he was born there or very close by. G.ARY MAUPIN GOES TO FRANCE AND JARGEAU Not only did Gary Maupin sponsor research in France during 1988 but in the summer of 1989 he took his wife and two daughters there. We were privileged to share his experiences in slides, pictures and talk at our Maupin Reunion in Colonial Williamsburg in November 1991. While in the Jargeau area he met a Daniel Maupin, 54 years old, married with two daughters. He could speak English so they were able to visit but could not make a family connection even though it might be there. I later wrote to this Daniel and received a nice answer with a good number of pictures of the city of Jargeau. He wrote that his daughters have come to the United States to study. Just as some of the other puzzles in our family history have been solved, I believe that Gabriel's parents will be found - it might take a little time. It is true that when he went to Amsterdam he listed his parents as "deceased" as did Marie but that was not unusual as it was sometimes done to protect from persecution family members left behind. Another objective is to find where Gabriel and Marie stayed during their time in England. Raymond Foster, an English researcher, has searched for me all the Huguenot records around London and the city of Blackwall from where they sailed. The results were negative. A family named Hersent has been found in the French Protestant Church in Southhampton. This might have an answer and will be pursued. It is logical that a young couple with small children would look for relatives to live with while waiting passage to the New World.

VOYAGE OF GABRIEL MAUPIN FROM ENGLAND TO VIRGINIA The following copies of old manuscripts relating to the voyage of Le Nasseau from England to Virginia are worded as the original manuscripts themselves.

and was the oldest living son. We know definitely that Gabriel came "from" Gargeau and it can well be assumed, until we get definite proof, that he was born there or very close by. G.ARY MAUPIN GOES TO FRANCE AND JARGEAU Not only did Gary Maupin sponsor research in France during 1988 but in the summer of 1989 he took his wife and two daughters there. We were privileged to share his experiences in slides, pictures and talk at our Maupin Reunion in Colonial Williamsburg in November 1991. While in the Jargeau area he met a Daniel Maupin, 54 years old, married with two daughters. He could speak Eng I ish so they were able to visit but could not make a family connection even though it might be there. I later wrote to this Daniel and received a nice answer with a good number of pictures of the city of Jargeau. He wrote that his daughters have come to the United States to study. Just as some of the other puzzles in our family history have been solved, I believe that Gabriel's parents will be found -it might take a I ittle time. It is true that when he went to Amsterdam he listed his parents as "deceased" as did Marie but that was not unusual as it was sometimes done to protect from persecution family members left behind. Another objective is to find where Gabriel and Marie stayed during their time in England. Raymond Foster, an English researcher, has searched for me all the Huguenot records around London and the city of Blackwall from where they sailed. The results v4ere negative. A family named Hersent has been found in the French Protestant Church in Southhampton. This might have an answer and will be pursued. It is logical that a young couple with small children would look for relatives to live with while waiting passage to the New World.

VOYAGE OF GABRIEL MAUPIN FROM ENGLAND TO VIRGINIA The following copies of old manuscripts relating to the voyage of Le Nasseau from England to Virginia are worded as the original manuscripts themselves. The original papers are in the Bodleian Library, having been bequeathed to the library by Rawlinson, the collector, who had them from the estate of Dr. Daniel Coxe. The latter was court physician to Queen Anne and was the principal promoter of the Huguenot emigration to America. The papers are bound in vellum and are endorsed, "Original Papers Relating to the French Plantations in the West Indies." They have the original signature of Dionisius Wright, Secretary to the Council in Virginia at the time of Gov .. Francis Nicholson. Charter for the Voyage of the Nasseau (extracts) "This chart party, Indented - made the third day of Dec., Anno Domini, 1700, and in the twelfth yeare of the reign of our Sovereign Lord, William the Third, King of Eng. etc., between Sir William Phipard of the town of Pool, in the county of Dorset, Knight, owner of the Ship called the Nasseau of Pool, of the burthen of ffive hundred tuns or thereabouts, now in the River of Thames, of the one part, and Moses Jaquean, Isaac Bellet, Matthew Perodin, Abraham Perodin, Peter Bouvot, and John Hamilton, all of London, Merchants, of the other part, witnesseth, that (for the consideration hereunder mentioned) the said owner doth hereby for himself, his Executors and administrators, covenant and grant and agree to, and with, the said Moses Jaquean, etc., That by the fifth day of this Instant, month of December, the said ship shall, at the said owner's charge, be fitted and equipped with all stores requisite for the voyage hereunder mentioned; and also at like cost and charges be vitualled for carrying passengers hereunder mentioned to James Towne, in Virginia, with the same sort of provision as those for the ship's company, and that the said ship shall, by the said fifth day of December, be fitted, and have fitted, and made ready, convenient lodgings or cabbins for the said passengers, for two in each apartment, or with hammocks to hold and carry at least 150 in number, and shall stay at or near Blackwall three days after the said fifth of December, to receive and take in all such ffrench Passengers, with their apparell and household goods or so many of them as she may conveniently carry, and with them, or as many of them as may be willing to goe, shall then, as wind and weather permit, salie and make the best of her way directly unto James Towne, in Virginia, to the usual! place of Shipsunlading there, and then sett and carry on shoar all the said passengers, with their said goods brought thither, and so end

The Nasseau was a ship of five hundred tons burden commanded by Capt. Tragian. It was a stormy passage and the voyage took from December until March. A tradition is handed down in the family as follows: The ship sprung a leak a few days off the Virginia coast as a result of a violent storm. The pumps were manned and an effort made to clear the hold of water but to no avail. Finally the crew and passengers were exhausted and gave up the work in despair. The Rev. M. Latane and Gabriel Maupin offered up prayers to the God of the seas and finally the waters ceased to rise in the ship. The pumps were put to work again and soon the ship was freed from water. The leak was patched over and when the ship arrived in the York River an investigation was made and a huge fish was found securely wedged in the broken planks, stopping the flow of water through the leak. All Maupins firmly believe this legend so reverently handed down through these hundreds of years and no matter what their rel1 gion or creed, this is one miracle they all accept. The papers relating to this voyage of the Nasseau are still in existence in the Bodelian Library in England and the Virginia Historical Library has issued a book in which copies of these papers are to be found.

According to the charter, the Nasseau was to leave England in December 1700 and yet it is evident from the above record that the ship arrived in Virginia in March 1700.

NOTE: An explanation for the confusion on the dates of the ship leaving England in December 1700 and arriving in Virginia in March 1700 results from the fact that in that period of history in England the legal year began with March 25. In 1751 English Parliament enacted the law that the legal year should begin with the 1st of January 1752. The Gregorian Calendar now in general use in most parts of the world was first prescribed in 1582 by Pope Gregory XIII to correct the Julian year to the solar year. It was not adopted by England until September 3/14 1752. There is an eleven day difference between the Julian "Old Style" and the Gregorian "New Style" calendars.

GABRIEL MAUPIN, the Immigrant: THE STORY OF HIS THREE INNS The NASSEAU landed in Yorktown on March 8, 1700, old style dating (Virginia Council Meeting held at Hon. Auditor Byrd's March 8, 1700. Also see Documents, Chiefly Unpublished, Relating to the Huguenot Emigration to VA by Robert A. Brock, Richmond, VA, 1886.) Where Gabriel Maupin was for the next 8 years Is unknown. Gabriel was naturalized in Williamsburg, with 4 other Frenchmen, April 18, 1705. (Executive Journal of the Council of Colonial Virginia, Vol. 1, pg. 411) This does not tell us his residence at the time; he could have "come In" for his naturalization. It would be interesting to know, in this year, where he was; since Gabriel II was probably born in this year. Wherever Gabriel was, he was not in Manakin. It Is incredible that he would have delayed his Headright Claim, as valuable as it was, if he had been living anywhere in Henrico Co. (where Manakin then was). But 1708 - a bad year for Gabriel - reveals his whereabouts at that time. On March 25 of that year Gabriel sues Thomas Haly for debt. Neither party appears at the hearing. This was in Williamsburg but Gabriel was not living in the city it seems but instead out in York County in the lower precincts of Bruton Parish, not too far away. The Will of William Hansford, dated October 28 of that year mentions his plantation. In that district, "where Gabriel Maupin now lives" Refs: The Haly matter: York County Deeds, Orders, Wi Its, etc. #13, 1706-1716 page 130 but date is on pg 127. But out on Hansford's plantation Gabriel was already in trouble by September 24. A month before his landlord's death Gabriel had been accused of "retailing liquors without a lycense contrary to Act of Assembly". When the matter came to trial on September 24, 1708, Gabriel claimed to be "Not Guilty" which automatically took the matter into a jury trial. Being a sensible man, he must have had some sort of claim concerning his business, whatever it consisted of. The most logical guess is that he had been running a boarding house- supplying, as his granddaughter was to do "Board, washing and Lodging" since no license would have been required for a boarding-house. Whatever the truth of the matter, he was convicted. Ref. York Co. Deeds, Orders, Wills No. 13, 1706-1710; pg. 169 but date is on pg. 168. Within nine months of his conviction and eight months of his former landlord's death, Gabriel is in Henrico County having collected what legal proof he needs for a Headright Claim. "Upon the petition of Gabriel Maupin (spelled Moupen) these are to certify that it is due unto him two hundred and fifty acres of land for the importation of himself and Mary his wife with Magdalen, Mary and Daniel his children, into this Colony the

same being legally proved in open Court". Date: June 1, 1709, Ref. Henrico County Court Orders, 1107-1709, Reel 65, pg. 154. Since Gabriel already had an enterprise of some sort going on at the Hansford plantation, he never expected to live in Henrico County. At this juncture, did Gabriel realize that he would never be prosperous unless he had a legally sufficient "ordinary" on land bought by himself? Did he buy the late Hansford's land or land very close by? (since he remained in that district) Gabriel now had a year and a half to prepare his legallysufficient "ordinary" (inn) before he received his liquor "lycense" in 1711. Ref. is York Co. Deeds, Orders, Wills, etc., 14, Part I, 1709-1716. His enterprise, presumably still conducted, could not have been flagrantly illegal because he is appointed ~·constable of the Lower Precincts of Bruton Parish". This makes it virtually certain that he was still on or near the late Hansford's property which was in the lower precincts of Bruton Parish. This was May 25, 1711; ref. is York Co. Orders, Wi lis, 14, Part I, 1709-1716, Reel 6; pg. 83 but date is on pg. 81. This was Gabriel's first Inn, then in the county, its inauguration celebrated by the honor of a public office. But Gabriel enjoyed this first Inn only about three years. "He was living in Williamsburg by 1714 for in that year he was granted a license to keep an ordinary at his dwelling house in Williamsburg by the York County Court and he renewed his license each year through 1719". (Travis House, letter to Mrs. Robert J. Hogan, Oct. 3, 1951 ). But this dwelling-house could not, in 1714, have been the James Morris house at 352 Duke of Gloucester St. since that one was not purchased until 1718. This then, was Gabriel's second Inn at some unknown address in Williamsburg itself. In 1718 - day and month not known to this writer - Gabriel bought the house that had belonged to James Morris, an architect brought from England by Philip Ludwell to design Bruton Parish Church. (Ref., Jones Papers, Reel 1, cop. at Library of Congress) Mr. Jones had been authorized to "sell at outcry, to Maupin" the house and lot. More about James Morris appears in Tyler's Williamsburg). This house, 352 Duke of Gloucester St., on the corner of Nassau St., is (according to Travis House records of the house) described in some early records as "across from the church"; a better description of its location would be just beyond, and across from the very back of the church's graveyard. The house is now called the Taliaferro-Cole House. It must have been here that it was "Ordered that there be paid to Gabriel Maupin the sum of one pound, two shillings, six pence out of his Majesty's revenue of two s per hhd & c. It being for the diet and accommodation of a Catawba Indian Woman during the time she staid in Williamsburg waiting for the opportunity to be sent home to her nation". (ref., Executive

Journal of the Council of Colonial Virginia, Vol. III, p. 425) This was late in the year - Dec. 1 - so Gabriel probably already ow ned the house. If he had bought it late in the year, he enjoyed it very little more than a year maybe two years, whenever in 1718 he bought it. "In February 1719/1720 Mary Maupin applied to the York County Court for license to keep an ordinary In her dwelling house in Williamsburg, and continued to apply for such license each year through 1724." Note that this says her house. (Travis House, letter to Miss Margaret M. Rodgers, July, 1972) This means that Gabriel was already dead by February 1720 - or It would not have been Mary's house. After his death, It was her house; he had willed it to her. Mary remarries to Thomas Creas as shown in an indenture dated 1724 (York County Deeds and Bonds 3, Reel 13, 1713-1729, pp. 440-41.) This is the end of the story of the three Inns of Gabriel Maupin. Florence Mary Maupin Portsmouth, VA August, 1984

Only a few of the passengers on the Nasseau settled in Manakintown. The Maupins were there but a short time. They returned to Williamsburg and made their home there. They seemed to have had friends in Virginia or possibly kin. It is surmised that Gabriel Maupin had a sister at Jamestown, possibly the Mary Maupin who married Jacob Pressnel. No doubt these kinsmen aided Gabriel Maupin in getting established at Williamsburg for within a very short time he was a noted tavern keeper there and active in Lodge work. On page 34 of Tyler's "Williamsburg the Old Capital" is this statement: "Among the inn keepers, the most prominent were Mrs. Mary Luke, widow of John Luke, formerly Collector of the Customs for the lower district of the James River; Gabriel Maupin and Jean Marot - the last two being Huguenot settlers in Virginia in 1700". On page 246 of the same book: "The annual meeting of the lodge, at which accounts ere settled and officers elected, was on the Feast Day of St. John the Baptist. Then the lodge was well attended; and the items in the accounts for sugar, rum, and brandy seem to indicate that there were merry hours spent in the tavern of Gabriel Maupin where the members met to dine on such occasion". Page 403, Vol. III, "Executive Journal of the Council of Colonial Virginia", gives this reference to Maupin's tavern - "Dec. 1st 1718 Present: The Governor, Edmund Jennings, Robt. Carter, James Blair, Phillip Ludwell, Wm. Cocke and Man Page, Esqrs." "Ordered that there be paid to Gabriel Maupin the sum of one pound, two shillings, six pence out of his Majesty's revenue of 2s per hhd & c. It being for the diet and accommodation of a Cattawba Indian Woman during the time she staid in Wmsburg waiting for an opportunity to be sent home to her Nation." From the same source, Vol. I, page 411: "Ap ri I 18th 1705 Present, His Excellcy Francis Nicholson Esq. & John Lightfoot, Robt. Carter, John Curtis, Phillip Ludwell, William Bassett, Henry Duke, John Smith, John Lewis, Esq. A petition of Joseph Chermeson and a petition of Jean de Jarnal, Gabriel Maupin, Jean Delaune, Jean James Veillon, and John Guy Rey praying for Naturalizacon were read & referred to ye Consideracon of the House of Burgesses." Dr. Socrates Maupin says that Gabriel Maupin had the Frenchman's aversion to corn bread, then the staple food of the colony. This aversion was a common one among the French refugees. He declared he would starve before he would eat it but his wife reminded him that he ought to be thankful to eat anything in order to live in a land where he could worship God as he pleased.

Journal of the Council of Colonial Virginia, Vol. III, p. 425) This was late in the year - Dec. 1 - so Gabriel probably already ow ned the house. If he had bought it late in the year, he enjoyed it very little more than a year maybe two years, whenever in 1718 he bought it. "In February 1719/1720 Mary Maupin applied to the York County Court for license to keep an ordinary In her dwelling house in Williamsburg, and continued to apply for such license each year through 1724." Note that this says her house. (Travis House, letter to Miss Margaret M. Rodgers, July, 1972) This means that Gabriel was already dead by February 1720 - or It would not have been Mary's house. After his death, it was her house; he had willed it to her. Mary remarries to Thomas Creas as shown in an indenture dated 1724 (York County Deeds and Bonds 3, Reel 13, 1713-1729, pp. 440-41.) This is the end of the story of the three Inns of Gabriel Maupin. Florence Mary Maupin Portsmouth, VA August, 1984

From the same source, Vol. I, page 411: "April 18th 1705 Present, His Excellcy Francis Nicholson Esq. & John Lightfoot, Robt. Carter, John Curtis, Phillip Ludwell, William Bassett, Henry Duke, John Smith, John Lewis, Esq. A petition of Joseph Chermeson and a petition of Jean de Jarnal, Gabriel Maupin, Jean Delaune, Jean James Veillon, and John Guy Rey praying for Naturalizacon were read & referred to ye Consideracon of the House of Burgesses." Dr. Socrates Maupin says that Gabriel Maupin had the Frenchman's aversion to corn bread, then the staple food of the colony. This aversion was a common one among the French refugees. He declared he would starve before he would eat it but his wife reminded him that he ought to be thankful to eat anything in order to live in a land where he could worship God as he pleased.

Gabriel Maupin died early in the year 1720 and he named his wife, Mary, as his executrix. Maupin's old French Bible and some of his furniture was in the possession of some of his descendants just prior to the Civil War. The greater part of his personal property was destroyed when the British occupied Yorktown. His sword, carried to Kentucky by one of his descendants, has also disappeared. His will was destroyed by fire at Richmond, the 3rd and 4th of April 1865, following the evacuation of the capital of the Confederacy by Gen. Lee. However Dr. Socrates Maupin had found and copied the will about 1850. His affidavit is as follows: "The subscriber copied the will, codicil, etc., from the records of the General Court at Richmond, about twenty years ago. Said records were then deposited in the state courthouse on the southeast corner of Capitol square, and remained there until the disastrous conflagration of the 3rd and 4th of April 1865, when they were destroyed by fire together with the building". S. Maupin, May 14th 1870.

WILL OF GABRIEL MAUPIN "In the name of God, Amen. The second of Sept. 1719, I Gabriel Maupin, of Williamsburg, being sick of body but of a sound mind and memory, praise be to God for the same, do make this my last Will and Testament in manner and form following: - and first I bequeath my soul in to the hands of Almighty God, and my body to the earth to be decently buried according to the discretion of my executrix hereafter named, and as touching such worldly estate as it has pleased God to bless me with, I give and dispose of the same in the following manner and form: - first I will that all of my just debts be truly paid. Item, I give and bequeath unto my daughter, Mary Maupin, fifty pounds current money to be paid her at the decease of my loving wife, Mary Maupin. Item, I give and bequeath unto my loving wife Mary Maupin, the dwelling house and lot wherein I now dwell, during her natural life, and at her decease I appoint my two sons, Daniel Maupin and Gabriel Maupin, or the survivor of them, to sell the same to the highest bidder at public sale and the proceeds thereof I give to be equally divided amongst my three children and their heirs, - Item, all the rest of my estate of whatever nature or quality soever, I give to be equally divided amongst my wife, Mary, and my aforesaid three children, but my children's part not to be paid until after the decease of my loving wife, aforesaid. Lastly, do I appoint my loving wife, Mary Maupin, my whole and sole executrix of this my last Will and Testament, revoking all former wills and testaments and allowing this and no other to be my last Will and Testament.

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and affixed my seal this day and year aforesaid. GABRIEL MAUPIN (seal) Signed, sealed, Published and declared by the said Gabriel Maupin (the words "or the survivor of them" and "I give" being first interlined) to be his last will and testament in the presence of the subscribers.

"Upon mature consideration I have thought fit to alter some parts of my will (viz) instead of dividing my estate equally among my children according to my last two devising paragraphs of the Will, I give to each of my sons (viz) Daniel and Gabriel, ten pounds current money to be paid them after the decease of my loving wife, Mary Maupin, -All the rest of my estate, both real and personal, I give and bequeath unto my loving wife, and her heirs forever, revoking whatever is contrary to this devise in any part of my will. In witness whereof I have hereunto set my hand and seal the first day of Dec. 1719. Gabriel Maupin (seal) Witnesses: Joseph Sutton John Davis Christo. Smith Virginia SS: At a General Court held at the Capitol, April 30th, 1720, this will of Gabriel Maupin, dec'd was this day proved in open court by the oaths of Richard Brand and Richard Thorpe, two of the witnesses to it, and the Codicil thereunto attached by the oaths of Joseph Sutton and John Davis, two of the witnesses to the same, Mary Maupin, the executrix, having made oath to said will and codicil according to law. Teste. C.C. Thatcher, Clk of Gen'l Court Truly worded. Teste C. C. Thatcher, C. G. C. April 30, 1720, date of the General Court to prove the Will of Gabriel Maupin, gives us an appoximate date of his death. It also gives son Daniel's name first which shows he is the eldest son. Daughter Mary is called Mary MAUPIN indicating she was unmarried. From earlier publications this daughter was listed as the wife of Jacob Pressnel. This cannot be as according to the Codicil of Gabriel's Will Mary is not mentioned and she is called "Mary MAUPIN, deceased" in the Indenture of 1724. The Indenture which follows is lengthy but important because it identifies the last home of Gabriel, Lot #352 (now called Taliferro-Cole house). It tells us that wife Marie re-marries to Thomas Creas, a gardener for William & Mary College. According to Colonial Williamsburg Guide Book Thomas Creas and his wife Mary, widow of Gabriel, owned and lived in this house until they died, Mary in 1748 and Creas in 1756.

DANIEL MAUPIN Son of Gabriel and Marie Hersent Maupin. On Wednesday, October 22, 1788, there appeared in the VIRGINIA INDEPENDENT CHRONICLE, a weekly newspaper published in Richmond, VA, the following obituary. It is in old style English with "s" written as an "f". On Friday the 20th ult. died at his feat in Albemarle DANIEL MAUPIN, who was born the 25th day of March in the year 1700. There is to be feen now living, of his offspring, upwards of 200, and the children of the fifth generation. His wife, now about the fame age, alive and hearty and never a female of her generation known to die under the age of 85 years that grew to be a woman. This very interesting and helpful piece of information was found by this writer at the Virginia State Library, Richmond, VA, in their old newspaper collection which has been put on film. Although it tells us when he was born it does not tell us WHERE Daniel was born but we do know that he was NOT born in Virginia because in the Headrights document he is reported by his father to have been "imported" with sisters, Magdalaine and Mary. From the baptismal records in Amsterdam of the first children born to Gabriel and Marie Maupin we find Daniel's birth on 25 March 1700 following true to the family birth pattern. It was the custom for the children to be baptized at the age of 2 or 3 weeks. The last three baptized in Amsterdam were Claude, April 4, 1694, Marie, April 16, 1696, and Sara, April 6, 1698 making their actual birth dates probably in March two years apart. Daniel continues the pattern, born 25 March 1700 and perhaps was baptized somewhere in April 1700. The obituary tells us also that his wife was "about the same age, alive and hearty". His wife was Margaret Via, believed to be the daughter of Amer Via from the Register of St. Peter's Parish in Hanover Co., VA, which records: "Judith, dau. of Amer Via baptized 11 Aug 1699; Margaret dau. of Amer Via baptized 3 Aug 1701; Mary, dau. of Amer Via, baptized 27 Feb 1703. Margaret survived her husband by one year and both are believed to be buried in the yard of their homestead. The date of their marriage is not known but certainly it must have been at an early age. And how did they meet if Daniel was in Williamsburg with his parents and Margaret in Hanover County? We know that Gabriel was granted 250 acres of land for himself, his wife and three children. This land was not In Williamsburg, possibly in Hanover County. Another mystery that is being investigated is: Who was the DANIEL MAUBAIN who was at Manakintown settlement as a tithable with a wife in 1710?

this Daniel's name actually be "p" and a relative of Gabriel? Something could have drawn young Daniel to Hanover with Manakintown close by. It is recommended for those who want to know more about Manakintown to read "THE HUGUENOTS IN VIRGINIA" compiled by Richard L. Maury. It explains why most of the passengers from the ship Nasseau which brought our ancestors to Virginia did not go to Manakintown but scattered themselves elsewhere in Virginia. It is tradition that Daniel and Margaret's first son, Gabriel, was born in Williamsburg. That may be but it is believed that the other children were born in Hanover County which later became Louisa County. The children were raised there with two of their sons finding wives in Hanover, that is John and Daniel who married sisters, John married Frances Dabney and Daniel, Elizabeth Dabney, both daughters of Cornelius Dabney (d'Aubigne). With the Maupins French ancestry and their Dabney wives would it not be interesting to be able to hear their conversations - would it be French, English or a combination? And how were they taught in that remote region? One thing we can feel sure about Daniel and Margaret Maupin were of sturdy stock with all their children living to adulthood except one, Thomas. Each child with their large families will be covered in a separate section. They are: (6) (7) (8) (9) (10) (11) (12) (13) (14)

The last record of the family in Louisa County is May 1745.

The next extant record of Daniel Maupin Sr., is found in the Virginia Land Grant Register, Book 31, page 652. Here we find a grant to him of 1188 acres of land on Moormans River in Albemarle County. The date of this grant was Sept. 20th 1745. He did not occupy this land immediately and Dr. Socrates Maupin says the date of his arrival in Albemarle was probably 1749. However, it is more likely that he located in the county in 1747 as he purchased 320 acres of land, including a dwelling house, from Thomas Moorman in that year. Moorman was the first

settler in that section and was the original patentee of the land whereon the old home of Daniel Maupin was located. It was near the present site of Whitehall and on Moorman's River.

When Daniel Maupin removed from Hanover to Albemarle he found the latter county on the frontier of white settlement. The county had just been organized and contained about 4000 inhabitants, black and white. But these settlers were not all in the confines of Albemarle as it is today. At that date Albemarle included Buckingham, Amherst, Nelson, Fluvanna, and parts of Appomattox and Campbell. The settlers on Moorman's River had to make a long disagreeable journey to the James in order to reach their supplies, and it was not until eighteen years after the settlement of Maupin in Albemarle that Charlottesville was laid out. Schools and churches were not to be found for several years and the schools when they did come were of a very primary nature. It is believed that the first Methodist church in the county was built on the lands of Daniel Maupin about 1770 or 1771. There is little certainty of this but it is known that the next Methodist church of the community was built on his land and was known as Maupin's Meeting House. This was the predecessor of the Mt. Moriah Methodist Church which stands on a lot deeded by Daniel's grandson, Saddler Daniel Maupin. Whitehall was first known as Maupin's Store and was owned by William Maupin, probably Daniel Maupin's son. During the revolution, some of the British troops captured at Saratoga were sent to Albemarle to be held until they were paroled or until the end of the war. Their barracks were not far from the home of Daniel Maupin. One of the British officers, a Thomas Anbury, published a series of letters concerning this period of confinement in Albemarle. In this way we may get a contemporary picture of the times, customs and of the country in general as they were shortly before the death of Daniel Maupin Sr., in 1788. Anbury was an enemy of our country and we may expect to find his descriptions overdrawn to our forefather's detriment but, allowing for this, we may see Albemarle, the cradle of the Daniel Maupin family, as it was over one hundred and fifty years ago. Says Anbury:"On our arrival in Charlottesville, no pen can describe the scene of misery and confusion that ensued; the officers of the First and Second brigades were in town and on our arrival added to their distress. This famous place we had heard so much about, consisted only of a courthouse, one tavern and about a dozen houses, all of which were crowded with officers. The bridges

were terrific, being only so many rough logs laid across beams without any safeguards on either side." He writes that the place where he was quartered was on an eminence commanding a prospect of thirty miles. The face of the country appeared as an immense forest, interspersed with plantations, four or five miles apart. He adds further, "The plantations are scattered here and there over the land, which is thickly covered with timber. On these there is a dwelling house in the center, with kitchen, smokehouse and other outhouses detached, and from various buildings each plantation has the appearance of a small village. At some distance from the houses are peach and apple orchards, and scattered over the plantation are negro huts, tobacco barns, which are large and built of wood for the cure of that article. The houses are most of them built of wood, the roof being covered with shingles, and not always lathed and plastered within; only those of the better sort are finished in that manner and painted on the outside; the chimneys are of brick but the generality of them are wood, coated on the inside with clay; the windows of the better sort are glazed, the rest of them having only wooden shutters. All taverns consist of a little house placed in a solitary situation in the middle of the woods. The entertainment there is very poor indeed; you are seldom able to procure other fare than bacon and eggs with Indian hoecake. The only liquors are peach brandy and whiskey. The majority of the inhabitants are, however, hospitable, generous and friendly; but want of proper knowledge of the world, and a good education as well as from their continual intercourse with their staves, over whom they are accustomed to tyrannize, with all their good qualities they are rude, ferocious and haughty, much addicted to gaming, and dissipation, particularly horse racing and cock fighting. In short, they form a most unaccountable combination of qualities, directly opposite and contradictory, many having them strangely blended with the best and worst of principles, many possessing elegant accomplishments and savage brutalities; and notwithstanding all of this inconsistency of character, numbers are valuable members of the community and few are deficient in intellectual faculties. Another class, a lower class, although rude, illiberal and noisy with a turbulent disposition, are generous, kind and hospitable, we imagine there is something peculiar in the climate of Virginia that renders all classes so hospitable in disposition." This picture, drawn by the pen of this British prisoner, gives us an insight into the lives and customs of those early days and

perhaps explains many of the traits and customs of the descendants of those pioneers of AI bemarte of almost two hundred years ago. From yet another source we may gather a few ideas of the life of those Virginians in the days of Daniel Maupin Sr. Charles Brown of Albemarle tells of those times in a letter written in 1848. His grandfather was Benjamin Brown of Brown's Cove, a neighbor of Daniel Maupin, who settled in the county at about the same time. His wife was a niece of Margaret Via, wife of Daniel, and no doubt the families were intimate and lived much the same kind of life. At the time of the settlement of the two families in the locality, Mr. Brown says the top of the Blue Ridge was the boundary line between the whites and the Indians. The latter were friendly and came often to visit with the settlers. Game was abundant at the time of the first settlement and buffalos were to be seen west of the ridge at tong intervals. The distance to a market was the greatest obstacle to prosperity in northwestern Albemarle but with the building of the roads and the founding of Charlottesville a great change for the better took place. According to Mr. Brown, Charlottesville was founded as follows: when the legislature agreed to divide Albemarle, which consisted of several of the counties of today, the courthouse was at Scottsville. As this was too far from the center of the new county, the legislature made Dr. Thomas Walker the agent to select the site of the new courthouse. Dr. Walker rode direct from Williamsburg to the home of Col. Nicholas Lewis, bought the land where Charlottesville now stands, laid off its streets and lots, fixed the site for the new courthouse, sold the lots for the new town and with the money received from the sate, built the courthouse,a county jail and paid the county levy for two years. Speaking of the main road to the James, he says, "The old Three Notched Road was the main center of travel by which the settlers of the northwestern part of Albemarle reached a market on the river. Charlesville was laid out on this road and from that point it led to Ivy Creek thence to Woods' Gap where there was a considerable settlement. The route was called the Three Notched Road because of the old trees between Charlottesville and Meechums". (1848) Along this road and to the north near Nixville, were the homes of the descendants of Daniel Maupin. Dr. Brown says further, "My recollection of the years following the Revolution are vivid. The people ate little meat except pork although they sometimes had beef in the fall and, at rare intervals, venison or bear meat. The main vegetables were cabbage, turnips, and Irish potatoes. Between 1795 and 1800, a few people began to grow beets, carrots, parsnips and tomatoes

but few people would eat any of the latter and considered parsnips and tomatoes poison. Tea was drunk at all times but I believe there was no coffee used prior to 1798. Brown sugar was used, perhaps fifty or a hundred pounds a year." The Indians were never troublesome in Albemarle but during the Colonial Wars they were very threatening along the western boundary and a company of troops was raised to protect the frontier and for service in Augusta where constant Indian raids were taking place. This company was organized In 1758 and three of Daniel Maupin's sons, a son-in-law and two grandsons were members of this company. They were John, Daniel Jr., and William Maupin, Matthew Mullins and his two sons, William and John Mullins was the husband of Daniel Maupin's eldest daughter, Mary Maupin (12). When the Revolution came, these three sons were again members of this company of State troops and Matthew Mullins and Robert Miller, Daniel's son-in-laws, served in the Continental Army as did several of his grandsons, two of whom were killed in battle. Old Daniel lived to see the nation established, dying in 1788. It is said that he had almost two hundred descendants living in a radius of twenty miles of him at the time of his death. This no doubt is an exaggeration but when one counts the wives and husbands of his descendants, it can be seen that it would run to a large figure. Daniel was buried in the yard of his old homestead and the next year, 1789, his wife, Margaret, was buried by his side. They were the last connecting link with the old world and henceforth the family was American by birth rather than by adoption. The estate of Daniel Maupin comprised 1500 acres lying along Moorman's River, some of which is still in the hands of the family. His descendants seem to have inherited a love of the land from Daniel and his wife, for a great majority of them have remained on the land, and many of them hold farms which have descended from father to son for generations. Daniel Maupin's will was probated Oct. 9th 1788, and was recorded at Charlottesville. A copy of the will is as follows: "In the name of God, Amen, I Daniel Maupin Senior, of Albemarle County, being in a low state of health, but of perfect mind and memory, leave this my last will and testament: I give and bequeath to my lawful wife, Margaret, all of my estate, real and personal, during her widowhood. And I give to son, Gabriel Maupin, and equal part of my estate; and I give to my son, Thomas, an equal part of my estate; and I give to my son, John Maupin, and equal part of my estate; and I give to my son, Daniel Maupin, an equal part of my estate; and I give to my son, William Maupin, an equal part of my estate; and I give to my son, Zachariah Maupin, an equal part of my estate; and I give to my son, Zachariah, five pounds extraordinary more than the rest of

In witness whereof I have hereunto set my had this 26th day of August 1788. Daniel X Maupin William Jarman, Lewis Davis Jr., James Cone Teste. John Nicholas C.G.C. A copy. Teste W.L. Maupin, Clerk 1922 Before leaving a general history of the family, it may be worth while to give a little space to a general survey of the services of its members during our country's wars. Mention has been made of the several of the family who fought in the Revolution. A complete list is not possible at this date but from the names given it can be seen that over half of the able bodied men of the family fought for American Independence. It is a record of which the Maupins may well be proud. In the Civil War, as large a percentage followed the battle flags of the Confederacy from Bull Run to Appomattox. A Southern family, born and bred in a part of the nation where a state's rights were held as inviolable as an individual's liberty, it is little wonder that over fourscore Maupins and those of Maupin descent and lineage were found In the ranks of the South and not one on the opposing side. Virginia and Kentucky sent out the most of these Maupins to the ranks of the Confederate army, but the name was represented among the troops of almost every Southern state.

Many Maupin families were almost wiped out by their casualties during this terrible war and the property loss of the family was enormous. Maupin blood was shed on most of the principal battlefields of the war, five losing their lives at Gettysburg. Two young Maupins died on the "Stone Wall" at Gettysburg in Pickett's Charge, and over a score of the name and lineage followed Gen. Morgan in his Ohio and Indiana raid, the Confederacy's farthest north. In the war of 1812, several Maupins participated. In the Spanish-American War, four of the name were engaged and one, Socrates Maupin, lost his life at Santiago, Aug. 13th 1898. During the World War, the Maupins furnished their quota, one Missouri County alone sending six. Our war record is excelled by no other family in America, and equalled by very few.

1~ MAUPINS FROM VIRGINIA TO KENTUCKY Daniel Maupin, oldest son of Gabriel Maupin, the emigrant, settled in Albemarle County, Virginia about the middle of the eighteenth century and was the founder of the family in that region. He reared a large family of children, many brave and brawny sons, who helped mightily in defending the frontier against the troublesome Indians and also took part in the French and Indian Wars. Old Daniel furnished several sons and grandsons to the American army during the Revolution, and these fought most valiantly for the overthrow of British rule and for liberty and freedom, a great many of this old pioneer's children remained in Virginia, but one of his sons, Daniel, and many of his children's children left their native home in Albemarle and came to Kentucky, settling in various places but mostly in Madison County. In their new home they exhibited the same spirit of patriotism and good citizenship as marked the family in Virginia. In the Kentucky wilderness they repeated the struggle against the Indians, the wild beasts and the forests such as their fathers had made while making Albemarle a civilized county of the old Dominion. Many of these Madison County Maupins later removed to Missouri but the Maupins that remained were many and their characteristics were the same no matter where they lived, whether it was in Mother Virginia, daughter Kentucky, or in Missouri, the last of the trio of states to be settled by these stalwart pioneers of the Blue Ridge. Ever you find the Maupin family full of high spirit, courageous, lovers of sport, true to their friends, generous to a fault, and, whatever their faults may be, they do not exceed the faults of other good families. No one, rich or poor, high or low, ever entered their portals without being received with hospitality and made to feel at home. The latch string always hangs on the outside of the home of a Maupin. They will not turn a hungry man away from their door without food and if he is naked they will cloth him. This is a well-known Maupin characteristic.

Capt. H. c. Michie of Charlottesville, VA, who as captain of Company H, 56th Virginia infantry, led his men over the Stone Wall at Gettysburg, says:-"It was my good fortune to have several of the Maupin name in my Company during the Civil War. Whether in camp or on the march, or in battle, they were always ready for any duty, and no soldier carried his bayonet further in battle. Two of these gallant fellows, Corporal David Maupin and Carson Maupin, were killed at the "High Watermark" of the Rebellion (so called by the Yankees) in the charge of Pickett's Division at Gettysburg, and Serg.

Gabriel Maupin

Served throughout the war and took part In all battles from 1778 to Yorktown. Washington's messenger at Valley Forge. His great vitality during that trying period earned his name of "Tough Daniel Maupin". Son of Zachariah (10). Served In the company of Capt. John Miller under Col. Lindsey. Severely wounded In battle. Pension Office records. A grandson of Gabriel (6). Pension Office records. Captain in American army. Commanded the arsenal at Williamsburg. Granted lands by Virginia legislature for his services. Son of Capt. Gabriel Maupin (5). Granted lands In Kentucky for services in Virginia during the Revolution. Killed by Indians while trying to occupy his lands.

MAUPINS FROM VIRGINIA TO KENTUCKY Daniel Maupin, oldest son of Gabriel Maupin, the emigrant, settled in Albemarle County, Virginia about the middle of the eighteenth century and was the founder of the family in that region. He reared a large family of children, many brave and brawny sons, who helped mightily in defending the frontier against the troublesome indians and also took part in the French and Indian Wars. Old Daniel furnished several sons and grandsons to the American army during the Revolution, and these fought most valiantly for the overthrow of British rule and for liberty and freedom, a great many of this old pioneer's children remained in Virginia, but one of his sons, Daniel, and many of his children's children left their native home in Albemarle and came to Kentucky, settling in various places but mostly in Madison County. In their new home they exhibited the same spirit of patriotism and good citizenship as marked the family In Virginia. In the Kentucky wilderness they repeated the struggle against the Indians, the wild beasts and the forests such as their fathers had made while making Albemarle a civilized county of the old Dominion. Many of these Madison County Mauplns later removed to Missouri but the Maupins that remained were many and their characteristics were the same no matter where they lived, whether it was in Mother Virginia, daughter Kentucky, or in Missouri, the last of the trio of states to be settled by these stalwart pioneers of the Blue Ridge. Ever you find the Maupin family full of high spirit, courageous, lovers of sport, true to their friends, generous to a fault, and, whatever their faults may be, they do not exceed the faults of other good families. No one, rich or poor, high or low, ever entered their portals without being received with hospitality and made to feel at home. The latch string always hangs on the outside of the home of a Maupin. They will not turn a hungry man away from their door without food and If he is naked they will cloth him. This is a well-known Maupin characteristic. Capt. H. C. Michie of Charlottesville, VA, who as captain of Company H, 56th VIrginia infantry, led his men over the Stone Wall at Gettysburg, says:-"It was my good fortune to have several of the Maupin name in my Company during the Civil War. Whether in camp or on the march, or in battle, they were always ready for any duty, and no soldier carried his bayonet further in battle. Two of these gallant fellows, Corporal David Maupin and Carson Maupin, were killed at the "High Watermark" of the Rebellion (so called by the Yankees) in the charge of Pickett's Division at Gettysburg, and Serg. Jas. R. Maupin was wounded and captured at the same battle. Some of these gallant fellows

left their blood on nearly every battle fought on Virginia or Maryland soil. One of them as a lieutenant of his company - a company which left thirteen dead at Gettysburg. There were many of the name in other companies of the Army of Northern Virginia and I never heard that there was a drone among them." H. c. Michie, Brigadier-General of Confederate Veterans. And we find the Madison County soldiers of the Maupin line and name, the same kind of fighters. Scores of them followed Gen. Morgan on his daring raid into Ohio, accomplishing a feat unparalleled in history. Three weeks in the saddle without rest or sleep except what they could get on horseback while on the march, and the horses they rode had nothing but what they could snatch up on the move - a bundle of oats there or a mouthful of wheat here. In times of peace, the families would be found in their homes, which they greatly loved and enjoyed, attentive to their farming interests and their stock, for the Madison County Maupins were mostly farmers. In the fall they usually enjoyed a deer hunt In the mountains for they were usually good marksmen, unerring shots. Always we find them a quiet, peaceful people unless wronged or mistreated in which case their greatest family fault was apt to come to light.

Richmond and they are buried on their old farm now owned (1924) by Thomas Chenault. John Maupin, a brother of Daniel, also lived in Madison County until 1819 when he moved to Boone County, Missouri. He lived east of Richmond on the Union road. He married his wife, Nancy Collins, in Madison and she and all of their children accompanied him to Missouri. Another Daniel Maupin, Jesse Maupin and Thomas Maupin, all sons of Zachariah Maupin, settled in Madison at an early date and three sons of Jesse Maupin, youngest son of old Daniel Maupin of Albemarle, as well as two sons of John Maupin and Frances Dabney, made the county their home. Many of their descendants still live there while others have moved on to new homes in the west, but ever they uphold and sustain that character and standing which has been handed down for generations from grand and noble sires. W. H. Miller Richmond, Kentucky Author of History and Genealogies The above article was written for Eugene Maupin by W. H. Miller in answer to a request for a sketch of the early Maupins in Kentucky.

The Madison County Maupins, as a rule, owned large estates, farmed on a large scale and lived In comfort and ease, entertaining in an easy home going way. They were sportive folks, fond of the chase and some of them kept fine blooded hounds, imported stock that was known far and wide, and all lovers of the chase are proud to own a Maupin hound. Many of this famous stock of hounds are still kept In the family In Kentucky but dozens of them have been transported to the south and west. Among the early pioneers of Kentucky, we find the name of Cornelius Maupin, who came in to the state when Harrodsburg was still a mere fort. He stopped here for a while then moved on to Otter Creek, near the present site of Richmond where he acquired lands. Time went on and the country filled with settlers. Like Boone, Maupin yearned for the frontier and once more took up his march. He settled in Howard County, Missouri, and here he died but his wife died on the trail from Kentucky to Missouri and was buried by the roadside.

THIRD GENERATION GABRIEL MAUPIN (6) Son of Daniel (3), grandson of Gabriel (1 ). Gabriel Maupin was born at Williamsburg at the home of his grandfather, Gabriel Maupin, the emigrant, in the year 1720, the year of his grandfather's death. He emigrated from Hanover to Albemarle County with his father, Daniel Maupin, and settled near Free Union in 1747. He was undoubtedly married at this time. Rev. Edgar Woods, in his History of Albemarle, confuses him with his Uncle Gabriel and speaks of him as a brother of Daniel Maupin, Senior. He died on his farm near Free Union, or Nixville, in 1794, aged 74 years. His will is recorded in the office of the clerk of AI bemarle under the date of 1794. He married Ann Ballard, daughter of Thomas Ballard, who obtained a patent for 320 acres of land near Piney Mountain in 1738. Thomas Ballard died in 1781. He was a grandson of Col. Thos. Ballard, Burgess from James City in 1666, member of the council in 1673, Speaker of the House of Burgesses in 1673 and Vestryman of Bruton Parish. The children of Gabriel and Ann Maupin were: * Daniel-

married Jane Via, daughter of Micajah Via and _____ Burnett. Micajah Via was the son of William Via. The emigrant, Wm. Via, was the grandfather according to Dr. Socrates Maupin, hence Micajah Via must have been a nephew of Margaret Via Maupin. There is some little doubt as to the emigrant Via's name. He is commonly spoken of as "William", but Dr. Maupin uses the name "William" but once and then only with a question mark. In the Register of St. Peter's Parish (which once included Hanover the home of the Vias) are the following entries:"Judith, Dau. of Amer Via baptiz. the 11 April!. Margaret, Dauter of Amer Via baptiz 3 Aug. 1701. Mary, daut. of Amer Via Baptiz. 17 Febry 1703/4" Inasmuch as Margaret Via, wife of Daniel Maupin, was born in 1701, it seems that she and the above named Margaret might be one and the same person. (17) Davidmarried Sarah Spencer, daughter of John Spencer. ( 18) Thomas- married Ann Spencer, sister of Sarah Spencer (above). (18a)Matthew- married Lucy Ballard.

Gabriel-

married 26 Aug 1791, Mary or Marah Mullins, daughter of John Mullins. The latter was a son of Matthew Mullins and Mary Maupin (12).

They removed to Tennessee. They had ten children. Judithmarried David Apperson, who was killed in the Revolution. Her second husband was John Burch. They had three children. A granddaughter, Jane Burch, married Carr Maupin, son of John Maupin and Frances Dabney. Susanmarried Cyrus Jones. They had three children. Margaret- born June 12th 1763. She was one of the eldest children of Gabriel Maupin. On May 5th 1785, she married John Rush and they were the parents of eight children. John Rush was born June 26th 1764, probably in Albemarle. David Rush, a son of Margaret, married Susanna Miller, a sister of Samuel Miller (See Miller family under Bolivar Maupin (79). Wm. Marion Rush of Marion County, Missouri was a son of David and Susanna Rush. Annamarried George Turner in 1791. He was the son of Charles Turner, who lived northeast of Ivy Depot and who died in 1789. Ann and George Turner emigrated to Kentucky and settled in Pendelton County. In 1819, they removed to Marion County, Missouri, making the trip in a keel-boat propelled by hand. They had ten children in all, five of them named as follows: Rev. Chas. Turner, born in Kentucky in 1792 and married Phoebe Griffith, second, Susannah Lear. He died in 1863. Gabriel Turner, William and John, all of Marion County, Mo., and Margaret Turner of Texas. Frances- married, 27 Apr 1791, Wade Via, son of Micajah Via. See under Daniel on preceding page.

THE RUSH FAMILY OF ALBEMARLE

FOURTH GENERATION

Benjamin Rush (1745-1813), a signer of the Declaration of Independence, had a cousin, Thomas Rush (1700-1770) who lived in Virginia. This Thomas Rush had a son, Peter Rush (17661824), who married Mary Mullins (1777-1859), daughter of Gabriel Mullins and Rachael Ballard [see Mary Maupin (12)]. Peter Rush and Mary Mullins had children as follows: a - Elizabeth, married John Thrasher. b - Malinda, married Joseph Thrasher. It seems probable that John Rush (1764), who married Margaret Maupin, daughter of Gabriel Maupin (6), was a son of Thomas Rush and a brother of Peter Rush. This seems the more likely since the families were so closely associated together in Albemarle County, Virginia; Pendleton County, Kentucky and in Marion County, Missouri.

DANIEL MAUPIN Son of Gabriel Maupin (6). grandson of Daniel (3), of Gabriel (1 ).

*************** Thomas Ballard, father-in-law of Gabriel Maupin, died In 1781. His will is recorded May 9th 1782 in Will Book 2 of Albemarle County. Extracts are given as follows:

Thomas X Ballard of Albemarle County - Daughter, Mary, five pounds sterling -**Sons, Thomas Ballard and Bland Ballard, all this my land, they suffering my daughter-in-law, Mourning Ballard, to live on, use and occupy that part of it whereon she now lives during her life **** the land to be equally divided between them so that Bland enjoy the part whereon he now lives **** the use of a negro Delphia unto my daughter, Frances Ballard, and after her decease I give and bequeath the negro, Delphia to her heirs***** Daughter, Susanna Pettis during her life all my lands in Louisa County, and after her death I give unto her and to said Susanna Pettis' oldest son then living ***** Remainder of my estate to be equally divided among five children, Thomas, Bland, ANNA MAUPINE, Frances Ballard and Susanna Pettis.

THE RICE - GRAVES - SPENCER FAMILIES John Spencer of Albemarle is the father of Ann, Sarah and Mary Graves Spencer, (all of whom married Maupins). Dr. Socrates Maupin thought it likely that his ancestor's name was Richard a grandson or a great grandson of the Nicholas Spencer of the Virginia Council since Nicholas was a common Christian name of the descendants of the Maupin - Spencer marriages. At any rate, the said Richard Spencer settled in Hanover and had three sons, namely Sharp, who settled in Prince Edward County, Abraham (or Abel) who settled in an adjoining county, and John, who made his home in Albemarle. ,I

According to the record of Dr. Maupin, John Spencer was born in 1732. It has been a tradition in the family that both he and a son were killed in the Revolution. The son, Thomas, was killed at Guilford Court House. The lieutenant John Spencer may not have been the John Spencer of Albemarle since there was a Spencer living in that county after the Revolution and his death occurred there in 1789. In a petition from Albemarle for the emission of paper money, dated Anno Dom. 1788, we find the names of John Spencer Sr., Thomas Maupin (his son-in-law), Gabriel Maupin, father of Thomas Maupin, John Spencer Jr., Gideon Spencer, Zachariah Maupin, Daniel Maupin Sr., Daniel Maupin Jr., and Cornelius Maupin. (From William and Mary Quarterly Review, July 1922.) All of these men lived in the same locality west of Charlottesville. The wife of John Spencer was Rosanna Graves and their children were: John Sharp Abraham Thomas - killed at Guilford Court House. Elizabeth-married a Scotch surgeon, Dr. Melvin, who, while serving in the British army, was taken prisoner with Burgoyne at Saratoga and confined In the prison barracks near Charlottesville. Sarah wife of David Maupin (17) Ann wife of Thomas Maupin (18) Mary Graves-wife of Chapman White Maupin (34) Rosanna- wife of Thos. Naylor. Their children: a. Susanna, married Mat Walton. Had a son, Chapman. Sally, m. Jordan Davidson of Kentucky. Children: b. Nancy, James, Abner, John, Sarah, Mary Jane, Martha, and Samuel, all of Lawrence, KS c. Mildred, married R. Fowler, and second, J. Turner of Garrard Co. Kentucky. Their children were not known. d. Rosanna, married Jesse Davidson of Garrard County, KY. Children were: Louisa, Leander, Lou Ann, Elizabeth, Sarilda, Mary Jane, and William Abner Davidson. Susan wife of William Sandidge, who was a grandson of John Graves. Rosanna Graves Spencer died in 1831 at the age of 97. Her father, Thomas Graves, was originally from King and Queen County, it is believed, but later appeared in Spotsylvania about the year 1725, a deed of land being made to him in that year. (Deed Book A). His home was on the border between Hanover and Spotsylvania and he owned a mill there. This home was

eventually owned by his son-in-law, Col. William Pettus. Early in the history of Albemarle, Thomas Graves took up large tracts of land in the county. It is not known if he ever lived there but many of his children were residents of the county and may have occupied his lands. Graves died in 1768. 路 His family is noted for its longevity and his father, it is said, lived to a great age. His daughter, Rosanna Spencer, was 97 at her death and his granddaughter, Mary Graves Maupin was 96 years old at the time of her death. The will of Thomas Graves (Will Book D, page 318) is dated Oct. 17, 1767, and in it he bequeaths the land where he lived and a third of the revenue from his mill to his wife, Ann Graves. In Deed Book H, date 1772, there is a record of a gift of a negro slave from Ann Rice Graves to her granddaughter, Barbara Pettus, and four years later she makes record of another gift of a slave to her granddaughter, Susanna Spencer of Albemarle. Ann Rice Graves died in 1782 and her son, Rice, administered her will. Both Thomas Graves and his wife, Ann, had been previously married. Her first husband had been a Clark of King and Queen County. The name of the first wife of Graves is not known. By his first wife he had sons: John Thomas ___ Susan -

lived in North Carolina. lived in Kentucky wife of a Smith of Meechums River, Albemarle County. wife of Col. Wm. Pettus of Meechums River. He was executor of his father-in-law's will and finally bought the Graves homestead. He died in 1798 and his will is dated that year and recorded Sept. 4th 1798. His children were: a. William, who married Lucy Walters. Overton Hart Pettus b. c. James Pettus d. Joseph Pettus e. Barbary Arnold f. Nancy, wife of William Graves of Louisa. Susanna, wife of Davenport. g. h. Louisa Rosanna -married John Spencer of AI bemarle. David married a Tilley and lived four miles west of Charlottesville. Susanna, mother of COl. Joseph Martin of Henry County seems to have been a daughter of this David Graves. The father of Ann Rice, who married Thomas Graves, was Thomas Rice, and Englishman of Welsh extraction, who came to Virginia during the last quarter of the 11th century. He seems to have settled first in New Kent COunty. Apr. 29th 1693, he was granted lands in Kingston Parish, Gloucester county (Patent Book 8, page 261).

of a deed to Thos. Rice for 1200 acres of land in Hanover. He seems to have spent his last days in Virginia on this plantation. Sometime subsequent to 1704, he left Virginia to return to England where he had been left a considerable legacy. He never returned to the colony and it was reported that he died at sea. He left a large family of three daughters and nine sons, and they were reduced to destitute circumstances after the loss of their father. The family moved about thirty miles up country and here they married and reared large families in Hanover and nearby counties. Loss of records during the Revolution and the Ci vi I War has made it hard to trace the several fami I ies descended from Thos. Rice. His children, as best we can learn at this date, were: James born 1686 Thomas- born 1688 Edward - born 1690.

You write that you have it in contemplation to pay us a visit some time or another.

I hope you will write soon. I am always glad to get a letter from you. You can direct your letters to Moorman's River postoffice, which is kept at Edmund Brown's just below me. It is handier to get letters here than at Charlottesville. I add no more but my very best wishes for your prosperity in time and in Eternity.

Dear Son: I received your letter dated Nov 3rd 1833, which gave me and the rest of your friends a great deal of pleasure to hear from you and that you and your family are all well. I was also very glad to hear how well you are making out in the world. Your crop was fine and better than we can possibly make in this old county. My health has not been good for several years but it has been as good or better for about eight months last than for a considerable time. I am making out in the world as well as usual. We have made plenty to live on heretofore and I am in hopes that I shall continue to do so. I shall not make a crop this year. I have hired out Brice for $55.00 and Mary lives with me to wait on me. Turner Wood has rented my plantation and he and Patsey live in the house with me and are very kind to me. Everything that 114

Martha and the children, I received the locks of hair with the three children's names. Christopher John Thomas' hair is very much like your own and so is Americus Bolivar's, but Joel Addison's approaches nearer the color of Martha's. It is a beautiful auburn color and the last one's hair is very long for its age. The three locks are still tacked on their names in the letter and I intend to take very good care of them as I cannot see them. I can look at the locks of hair and know the color of all their heads. I hope you will write soon. I am always glad to get a letter from you. You can direct your letters to Moorman's River postoffice, which is kept at Edmund Brown's just below me. It is handier to get letters here than at Charlottesville. I add no more but my very best wishes for your prosperity in time and in Eternity.

A MISSOURI PIONEER

land that in early days was worthless swamp is considered now as the best in the state.

Joel Maupin In Marion County In 1829, Joel Rice Maupin, with his wife and small son, joined the hundreds of other Virginians who were making their way westward to build their homes in the virgin wilderness of Missouri. Travelling by wagon, he made his way over the old wagon trail to Kentucky. Crossing the Ohio River at Shawneetown, he made his way to St. Louis and thence to Hannibal by flatboat. Some of the train made the trip from St. Louis to Hannibal by land. Hannibal was a village of some forty inhabitants at the time and Port Scipio, on the Bay, was rival that threatened to become the metropolis of the newly settled country. Maupin located four miles west of Hannibal and began to improve a farm, which later became one of the best in the county. Traces of the old well he dug, while still living in his covered wagon, were still to be seen a hundred years later. All traces of his first rude log cabin have long since disappeared and his later home was destroyed by fire in 1907. The year following his arrival in Marion was long remembered as the year of the great snow. The author had much of his information from his grandfather, who had often heard his father tell of the early days in Missouri. The snow of 1830 came early in the year, about Nov 1st, and it covered the ground and drifted to the depth of twelve feet. The snow remained on the ground all winter and travel was practically impossible. The roads were little more than trails and these the snow filled and blocked as to defy passage. One can imagine the hardships of the newcomers who had little time to prepare shelter for themselves or their animals. To make matters worse, the summer following was a poor one for crops, the corn being almost an entire failure. It is said that the corn was actually frost bitten in August. Seed corn sold on the levee at Hannibal as it was unloaded from the boats at four dollars a bushel, a high price for those days. It seems likely that this corn crop failure caused Joe Maupin to turn his attention to wheat and caused that crop to later become the ranking crop of the county. In 1832, the spring was backward, sleets, freezes and high water causing much trouble. The Mississippi was out all over the bottoms most of the time. Today, it is hard to realize what the Mississippi river bottoms were like over a hundred years ago. Now great fields of wheat, corn and clover grow where, in the days of our forefathers, the slough grass flourished or water stood the year around. Protected by levees, much of the

Besides their crop and weather troubles, the settlers had another problem about that time. There was a constant threat of Indian trouble from the north and across the river. The Sacs, Fox and Winnebagos had united under Black Hawk and were on the warpath in Iowa and Illinois and no one knew when they might make a raid down the river to their old home near Hannibal. Gen. Gentry, a kinsman of Martha Gentry Maupin, wife of Joel Maupin, was in command of the troops sent to protect the settlers from the Indian raids. He spent some time at the Maupin's home while he was in the county. He was later to lose his life fighting Indians in Florida where he led the Missouri troops. In 1833, the Hannibal and Centerville road was laid out. It passed close to the home of Joel Maupin and he was now in closer touch with the markets. This road was the most travelled road in North Missouri and is followed rather closely today by U.S. Highway 36. The year of 1833 was also rather long remembered in the country as a year the stars fell and as a cholera year. This dire plague swept over Marion County with terrible results. Its worst hold was at Palmyra but settlers died all over the county and at Hannibal. It is said that one fifth of the settlers died but this is probably an exaggeration, tho the figures are probably correct for Palmyra. In the country, it is probable that not one tenth of the people perished. In 1835, another attack of the plague struck the county but it was not so serious altho the people were terror stricken. This same year was also known as the "cold year". In February, occurred the memorable "Cold Friday" which was one of the coldest days ever known in northeast Missouri. The temperature fell to fifty below zero and much stock was frozen. In the middle of May there came a severe freeze, stripping the trees of foliage and killing many of them. Of course all crops were ruined and the settlers hurried to plant again. Sept. 15th there came another hard freeze which ruined the late crops and the whole season was lost to the despairing farmers. Early in his life on his Missouri farm, Joel Maupin realized the importance of wheat as a crop for Marion County. The soil was adapted to its growth and the river made a splendid highway to the markets. Consequently he began to grow it on a large scale, constantly increasing his acreage until he was the largest grower in this section. When the Civil War broke out and interrupted agriculture in Marion, Maupin owned over a thousand acres of land and sixty slaves. Little by little his

property was mulched from him on account of his sympathy for the South. At the end of the struggle he had little left but the bare land. He was a staunch Democrat and took part in all of the hard partisan struggles which preceded the war. His last effort was made to defeat Joshua Gentry, his wife's kinsman, for state senator. He could never forgive Gentry for taking sides with the north against their native state, Virginia. Gentry ran on an anti-abolitionist ticket and many Democrats were afraid to cast their votes, yet in the home precinct of Maupin, Gentry was beaten 129 to 1, which showed the power and influence of the old pioneer in his home neighborhood. He lived to see the Democrats allowed to vote in 1870 but he took no active part in politics after the war. He died 12 Aug 1876 and was buried in a little cemetery on the corner of his homestead, a few rods from where, he had pitched his camp on his arrival from far away Albemarle a half century before. Part of his grave was hewn in solid rock and many of his old slaves returned to dig it and see "Marse Joel" for the last time. Such was slavery and it is an illuminating incident in the annals of the hundreds of Virginians and Kentuckians who made the West. On his Monument of marble are inscribed the following words: JOEL MAUPIN OF Albemarle Born May 5th 1795 Died Aug 12th 1876

THE GENTRY FAMILY Among the British soldiers sent to Virginia to quell Bacon's Rebellion were two brothers, Nicholas and Samuel Gentry. They were discharged from service in 1685 and in the land book Register of the next year, we find a patent of land to Samuel Gentry in New Kent County. The Parish Vestry Book of St. Peters in New Kent and the St. Pauls Vestry Book in Hanover contain many records of the descendants of these two brothers. Nicholas Gentry had, among other children, a son James, and a son Nicholas Jr. The former, born in Hanover in 1710, had a son, George born in the same county about 1735. George Gentry moved to Albemarle County and settled near Free Union, where he became one of the most prosperous planters. His wife's name was Elizabeth and she was of Indian descent, legend says from Pocahontas. Gentry was a man of considerable wealth when he died in 1810. One of his sons Christopher, born in Hanover in 1773, married Sarah J. Dunn. Martha, daughter of Christopher and Sarah Dunn Gentry, married Joel Rice Maupin (42), 18 Dec 1827. Another daughter, Betsy, married James Dunn, grandson of David Maupin (17). Returning to Nicholas Gentry Jr., son of the first Nicholas Gentry, we find many of his descendants intermarried with the Maupin family. Nicholas Jr., died in 1779 leaving a large family. His son, David (1724-1812), had a daughter, Winifred, who married William Martin of Albemarle (See Harris Family). Their daughter, Mary Martin, married Garland Maupin (60), and another daughter, Elizabeth, married Eiias Simms. See James Maupin (87). Another son of Nicholas Gentry Jr., was Martin Gentry (17471827). He married Mary Timberlake and their daughter, Betsy, married Daniel Maupin (27) and another daughter, Patsy, became the wife of "Saddler" Daniel Maupin (19), cousin of Daniel (27). Richard Gentry, son of David Gentry, previously mentioned, married Jane Harris, daughter of Christopher Harris. See Harris History. Gen. Richard Gentry of Missouri was their son. Another son, David, born 1787, married Susan Maupin, daughter of Daniel (27), and Betsy Gentry, his wife. The above data was complied from "The Gentry Family in America" by the late Richard Gentry of Kansas City, and from the unpublished notes of Dr. Socrates Maupin of the University of Virginia. 119

SIXTH GENERATION CHRISTOPHER JOHN THOMAS MAUPIN (78) Son of Joel Rice (42), grandson of Thomas (18), of Gabriel (6), of Daniel (3), of Gabriel ( 1 ). John Maupin was born in Albemarle County, VA, 13 Nov 1828, and died in Shelby County, MO, 17 Jul 1878. He was buried at Spencers Chapel. He was but a few months over a year old when his father made the trip from Albemarle to Marion County, MO. The trip was made overland with oxen by way of Kentucky, crossing the Ohio at Shawneetown and thence to St. Louis. John Maupin settled in Shelby County soon after the county was formed. His home was on Crooked Creek in Jefferson Township. A few years later he crossed the plains in the California gold rush. After many exciting adventures and narrow escapes, he returned to Shelby and built a home a few miles from his first habitation. He married his cousin, Margaret, daughter of Thomas Maupin (43). She was the first teacher of the old Stalcup School, which stood on the dividing line between the timber and the prairie not far from the first cabin of John Maupin. The school was the first in West Shelby and it was built about 1845 or 1847. It was the kindergarten, high school and university of many of the Maupin family in those pioneer days in North Missouri. The love affair of the two cousins was bitterly opposed by the families on account of their kinship. This opposition was the cause of the abandonment of the first cabin on Crooked Creek and the trip to California. However the Missouri sweetheart proved a stronger attraction than the California gold and they were married in Sept. 1858 a few months after the return of John Maupin to Missouri. The children of John and Margaret Maupin were: I dress

THE DABNEY FAMILY

The original name from which the American Dabney Is derived has three final endings, namely, Aublglnl, a town In France seated on the River Neere. This had the title of a duchy as belonging to the Duke of Richmond In right of the Duchess of Aubiglni from whom Richmond was descended. The second ending was that of D'Aublgney as given it by the English, Duke George Gordon Lennox, at the time when the duchy was conferred by Louis XIV on Louis Renal de Penceencourt of England in favor of her son, Charles Lennox, Duke of Richmond, 1684.

The children of Cornelius Dabney and Sarah Jennings were:

The third ending was given by the French as Aubigne and it Is generally known there by that appellation. In America, it resolved itself into Dabney. Theodore Agrlppa D'Aublgne, a French Calvinist, was a follower of Henri IV and died In Geneva In 1639. His son, Constant, was the father of the notorious Madame de Maintenon and was an eminent author of that period. In fact, the literary talent of the family has been noted through several generations and one of the best of the modern painters of France was of the D'Aubigne family. Cornelius D'Aubigne, or Dabney, descendant of Theodore Agrippa D'Aubigne, came to America early In the 18th century. In 1721, he married his second wife, Sarah Jennings, In Hanover County. She had accompanied the Dabneys to America as a companion to the first wife of Dabney. She was the daughter of Charles Jennings, whose brother, William Jennings, of Acton Place, London, was very wealthy. Sarah Dabney was his sole heir. Numerous efforts have been made by her descendants to recover the estate but without avail. Cornelius Dabney was allowed a certain sum of money by the Colonial Council for acting as Interpreter to the Indians. He died in 1764 leaving a will which was probated in Hanover County In 1765. His wife survived him many years and made her home with her daughter, Frances, wife of John Maupin (7). She was buried in the yard of his home.

Will filed in Albemarle Co. 23 Dec 1837, Will Book 13, pg. 57. He was one of the executor's of his grandfather's will, which was probated in 1788. In 1834, he and his wife, Hannah, deeded the ground for the Mt. Moriah Methodist Church.

One of the many rewarding aspects of genealogy and family history are the wonderful people we meet with the trips and experiences that go with it. Such as it was for me with Phyllis. In Apr 1977, I received a letter from a Mrs Phyllis Dorn in Washington, D.C. She had a copy of my D.A.R. papers that read I was a descendant of Bernard Maupin, son of Cornelius. She explained she was from that I i ne and wanted to do a book on our family but could not find Bernard's family other than Amanda. We talked by phone and I was

158

invited to visit her on my next trip to Washington, D.C., which was in a few weeks. This I did especially since she told me she had inherited and had in their home a Gilbert Stuart portrait of our common ancestor, John Maupin, father of Cornelius. They had lived for 28 years at 2517 Massachusetts Ave, N.W., Washington, D.C. That is "Embassy Row". Their home, filled with antiques, was so warm and friendly, and I was overjoyed to see the picture. No doubt it is a Gi I bert Stuart. We know as an artist, especial! y in the beginning, Stuart traveled the countryside painting. It had a small burn blemish, she said was from during the Civil War. Phyllis and Gen. Dorn spent half their time in California. We continued to write and again the next April, 1978, I visited in her home again. Later in 1978 when my letters were not answered, I supposed they were in California. In Feb 1979 a letter came from Gen. Dorn, telling me Phyllis had died in late 1978 and 3 weeks after her death, her son was killed and he himself had just returned from the hospital for cancer surgery. Gen. Dorn was a writer as well as Phyllis, who was novelist, painter, and pianist of note. In his last letter Gen. Dorn, said he was moving to California as soon as he was well enough. Which brings me back to the Gilbert Stuart portrait of our ancestor. What became of it? When he wrote about the problems of estate settlement, I asked about the picture as tactfully as possible, but did not receive an answer. I have a "picture of the picture" - it shows a gentleman with white hair, brown eyes, nice shirt, a fine looking face and I believe her when she said it was our John. I would I ike for it to be found and would like any help or ideas from other interested descendants to accomplish the task. 2.

Silas Bernard Maupin, m. 2nd 24 Apr 1864, to Sarah James, daughter of Charles and Mary James. Sarah was born 21 Feb 1832 in Glostershire, England, and came to America with her parents in 1852 to the St. Charles, MO area. She died 28 Jul 1916 at the home of her daughter, Mary Maupin Blackshaw in Wellsville, Montgomery Co. MO and is buried in the Wellsville cemetery. As Silas Bernard Maupin is my grandfather, I would like to add some personal thoughts and observations. This is something I would like to have done for many of the persons on these many pages of names and dates but for several reasons am unable to do so. I encourage all who can to make your own family book and put down your feelings and beliefs so that those coming after you will know something more about you than names and dates. My father, Charles Edward, was born when his father Silas was past fifty years of age, the same for myself, being the last of eight, I was born when my father Charles was past fifty. I was six years old when he died. Life was very hard for my father and my grandmother, having two small children in those early days. So my father and I grew up not knowing our fathers. But in small ways we have remembrances. For my grandfather, Silas, it is his obituary. It tells me a lot about him so will share it here. Also in his books. I have one of Silas's Bibles, dated 1835, a book of John Wesley's sermons dated 1835 - these are good sized books. Also a small book of devotional poems mostly by Charles Wesley and Isaac Watts. Silas wrote his name in the front with the date 10 January 1864. What the date means I do not know but it meant something to him. We know as Maupins that we have a Huguenot background - a strong Protestant heritage and it has come down to us to create a loving family of brothers and sisters cared for and nurtured by our wonderful mother, Katie, and a father who loved us all. They were not able to provide us with the material things of life but the most important ingredient in our lives was there, LOVE and caring for one another.

OBITUARY - ST. LOUIS CHRISTIAN ADVOCATE - 30 APRIL 1873 MAUPIN: Died, in Mooresville, Livingston County, Missouri, April 1, 1873, Silas Bernard Maupin. Brother Maupin was born in Albemarle County, Va. June 13, 1815: Professed religion Sept. 3, 1834, while kneeling at the Alter of Prayer side by side with Bro. John W. Ellis, well known to the Missouri Conference. The writer has met often with Bro. Maupin in class meeting, and heard him relate the circumstances attending his conversion. He never doubted the work God wrought in him by his Holy Spirit. He held some official position in the Church from his con version till his death. He was licensed an exhorter in 1852, which sacred trust he kept with fidelity to the church -a work in which he seemed to delight. Brother Maupin was called upon to endure great suffering for nearly a year before his death. On the 25th day of May, 1872, he was stricken down by paralysis, from which his death resulted as above stated. Yet he never complained, was always cheerful, bore his sufferings with humble, Christian resignation. I shall never forget the happy look and sweet smile that played upon his countenance when I stood by his bedside and heard him tell with rapturous delight of that good country over younder, of which he would soon be an inhabitant. When I first approached him, he reached out his hand and said "Brother Rooker, have you come at last. I have been waiting to see you and tell you about that good country." Said he, "I have just been lying here and looking over there. It is a better country than this, there is no mistake about it." Said I, "Brother Maupin you are satisfied religion is true and not a failure.". Said he with calm composure, enjoyed only by a child of God, "I have been satisfied of that since my conversion. I have feared only this, that when I shall step into the turbid water and grapple with death, my faith might fail me." But, said he, "I have this conscious realization as death approached, my faith increases and Jesus who has been with me through all the storms of life, will not forsake me in death." He requested that the writer preach his funeral from this scripture, "Set thine house in order, for thou shalt die and not live." He leaves a loving family (wife and children) to mourn their loss, which is his eternal gain. May we all live right and die right, and meet Brother Maupin and all the redeemed of God in a land that is better than this. John S. Rooker (Richmond, Virginia papers please copy)

He was licensed an exhorter in 1852, which sacred trust he kept with fidelity to the church -a work in which he seemed to delight. Brother Maupin was called upon to endure great suffering for nearly a year before his death. On the 25th day of May, 1872, he was stricken down by paralysis, from which his death resulted as above stated. Yet he never complained, was always cheerful, bore his sufferings with humble, Christian resignation. I shall never forget the happy look and sweet smile that played upon his countenance when I stood by his bedside and heard him tell with rapturous delight of that good country over younder, of which he would soon be an inhabitant. When I first approached him, he reached out his hand and said "Brother Rooker, have you come at last. I have been waiting to see you and tell you about that good country." Said he, "I have just been lying here and looking over there. It is. a better country than this, there is no mistake about it." Said I, "Brother Maupin you are satisfied religion is true and not a failure.". Said he with calm composure, enjoyed only by a child of God, "I have been satisfied of that since my conversion. I have feared only this, that when I shall step into the turbid water and grapple with death, my faith might fail me." But, said he, "I have this conscious realization as death approached, my faith increases and Jesus who has been with me through all the storms of life, will not forsake me in death." He requested that the writer preach his funeral from this scripture, "Set thine house in order, for thou shalt die and not live." He leaves a loving family (wife and children) to mourn their loss, which is his eternal gain. May we all live right and die right, and meet Brother Maupin and all the redeemed of God in a land that is better than this. John s. Rooker (Richmond, Virginia papers please copy)

Additional information for Charles Wesley Maupin (50) At the time Eugene Maupin was doing his research he had little information on this son of Cornelius Maupin and Mourning Harris. According to his files he had contacted a descendent of John W. in 1924 and it appears here. Additional information fr-om later research as follows from courthouse and individual records.

Charles Wesley Maupin died in Jefferson Co. MO, without a Will. His estate settlement recorded in the Courthouse is dated 21 Dec 1842 with John Hammond as administrator and lists his children as follows: Elizabeth King, John Maupin, Frances Hammond, Richard Maupin, Corilla Maupin, William Maupin, Charles R. Maupin, also Mary and Stephen Lacy, grandchildren. His wife Mary also died without a Will and her estate settlement is dated 16 May 1862, which gives a probable death date for wife Mary. Her heirs are listed as Mary E. King, John Maupin, Richard Maupin, William Maupin, Corilla Hale and Charles Maupin. Corilla Hale is the administrator. Children of Charles Wesley and Mary Maupin are as follows:

Additional information for Charles Wesley Maupin (50) At the time Eugene Maupin was doing his research he had little information on this son of Cornelius Maupin and Mourning Harris. According to his files he had contacted a descendent of John W. in 1924 and it appears here. Additional information from later research as follows from courthouse and individual records.

Charles Wesley Maupin died in Jefferson Co. MO, without a Will. His estate settlement recorded in the Courthouse is dated 21 Dec 1842 with John Hammond as administrator and lists his children as follows: Elizabeth King, John Maupin, Frances Hammond, Richard Maupin, Corilla Maupin, William Maupin, Charles R. Maupin, also Mary and Stephen Lacy, grandchildren. His wife Mary also died without a Wi II and her estate settlement is dated 16 May 1862, which gives a probable death date for wife Mary. Her heirs are listed as Mary E. King, John Maupin, Richard Maupin, William Maupin, Corilla Hale and Charles Maupin. Corilla Hale is the administrator. Children of Charles Wesley and Mary Maupin are as follows:

Records do not say as to reconciliations afterwards, but there seems to have been a happy ending to this romance of so many years ago. The children of William and Jane Maupin were: (51) Ti Iman J.

College, of which Dr. Socrates Maupin was one of the founders, graduating in 1843. In 1937, almost a hundred years later, his daughter, Margaret Maupin Hager, presented the college with his aged diploma and the saddle bags and medicine vials which he had carried on his journeys while he practiced medicine in his Virginia home. In 1839, Bethsada Chapel, near the old home for Dr. Maupin, celebrated its hundredth anniversary. The land upon which the chapel stands was a part of the thousand acre plantation of Thomas Maupin (22) and was deeded to the church by Dr. Maupin shortly after the death of his father. The Maupin Cemetery is near this church and many of the family are buried there. Dr. Maupin represented Cabell County in the Virginia Legislature for several terms and led the move to build a railroad from Tidewater to the Ohio River, which enterprise would have opened up the hill section of Virginia to the Tidewater markets. He was finally successful in getting a quarter of a million dollars voted by the legislature for the survey and the beginning of the road. The outbreak of the war stopped all work and it was not until 1870, four years after the death of Dr. Maupin, that the Chesapeake and Ohio road was built, following practically the same route as the one laid out and surveyed by Dr. Maupin. Dr. Maupin married first, Martha America Holderby, and second, Lucinda Smith. The latter died 3 Jan 1905. His children, all by the second wife, were: Socrates Addison

********************

JOHN MAUPIN Son of John (7), grandson of Daniel (3), of Gabriel (1) John Maupin is one ancestor who has many descendants but has proved to be a real challenge in putting the family together. In Dr. Socrates Maupin's record he merely lists him as a son of John and Frances Dabney, that he marries Sarah (Sally) 190

Crosthwait and had 10 children. Later researchers carried the same meager information. It has been from living descendants and some diligent researchers that the family has been pieced together. Descendants should know that these records have not been documented by this writer but they will be a guide. Some, I have put together by the process of elimination but with the best of intentions. A great help in researching this family has been in the work of Bi II AI bertson. It is believed that John was born about 1760 in Albemarle Co. We do know he married Sarah (Sally) Crosthwait in VA. Albemarle Co. VA. The mystery who Sally's parents are might be answered in part in the name of John and Sally's first son, Pe_r~ b. 9 Dec 1786, following the custom of naming the first son after a grandfather. In the Albemarle Co. VA Order Book 1798-1800, page 1, names the children of "William Crosthwait, deceased, as Thomas, William, P~.r:_r_y, and Ann, dated March 1798. Note at end "Heirs of William Henry Crosthwait moved to KY." John and Sally came from Albemarle Co. VA, to Madison Co. KY (that part that later became Clay Co.) before 1804 when he was granted 400 acres of land on the waters of Buzzard Creek. He was in the 1800 census of Madison Co. KY and 1810 in Clay Co. One of the KY census which was formed from Madison. difficulties in putting together the descendants of John and Sally Crosthwait Maupin is the repetition of names in each family and generation making each John, Garret, Perry and Howard hard to identify. I have supposed the children of John and Sally Crosthwait Maupin to be the following. Each of these children will be covered under their own name and with their descendants who have contacted me. Nine of their 10 children have been accounted for. They are as follows:

I. Patsy Maupin (1785-1853) married first John McDaniel who died March 1807; married 2nd on 8 Aug 1808, William Cunningham in Clay Co. KY. Patsy spent her widowhood days in Livingston Co.

MO; married 25 Feb 1809, to Rachel Bradley, b. 16 Apr 1786, in North Carolina; d. 1850 in Ray Co. MO. There is a question on the given name of Rachel's father. Andrew Bradley signed the marriage bond. According to tax records Andrew was a bachelor, but listed after him was a James Bradley who had a female child, the right age for Rachel. Andrew could be her uncle. Perry appeared in Ray Co. MO Deed Book "B", pg. 24 on Aug 1829. From descendants these are the children of Perry & Rachel Maupin. 1. William C. Maupin, b. 1809 2. Martha Maupin, b. 9 Jun 1811; m. 21 Apr 1833 to John Siden who died in 1849 and is buried beside Perry on the Maupin farm. Martha died

*Isabelle F. Siden, daughter of John & Martha Maupin Siden, b. 12 May 1812, in Ray Co. MO; d. 9 Oct 1877, Livingston Co. MO; m. 29 Jan 1860, to Spencer Hall Austin, b. 6 Jan 1836, d. 23 Mar 1901. Their son: Francis Austin, b. 18 Feb 1874; d. 8 Dec 1923, in Casper, WY; m. Loretta Cudney, b. 23 Feb 1875, d. 2 Mar 1918, in Vernon Co. MO. Their daughter: Clarice L. Austin, b. 24 Jul 1894, d. 27 Aug 1961, Clark Co. WA; m. 5 Jul 1919, to John McMannis, b. 10 Sep 1893; d. Apr 1945, Clark Co. WA. Their daughter: Larea McMannis, b. 19 May 1920; m. 6 Oct 1956 to Theodore E. Gump.

The next official record we have of John are in the tax records of Clay Co. KY, beginning 1807, showing John with 400 acres on Goose Creek. Son Perry has 200 acres and he was over 21 years old. 1808 shows John with 400 acres on Buzzard Creek, Perry with 200 acres, Dabney's name is listed with no amount shown, then John Jr shown with 200 acres but he was evidently under age because the land was entered in the names of John & Perry Maupin. After 1811 the name of John appearing in the tax records is that of John Jr. On 11 Oct 1809, in Clay Co. KY Court a suit was filed by John Maupin, Sr. and wife Sally. On 11 Jul 1811, the suit was abated because of the death of John Sr. So John's death occurred after 1809 and before 11 Jul 1811. In Clay Co. KY Order Book "B", pg 173, letters of administration is granted to Perry Maupin of the estate of John Maupin, Sr., deceased. Wm. Hollingsworth, John Hollingsworth and Howard Maupin being first sworn to appraise the estate. The names appearing on the tax rolls and the last year they were taxed is a good indication when some family member left Clay Co. KY for the West. Thomas, 1825; Perry 1826; Dabney & Howard, 1830; Andrew appeared in 1835 & 1836. Now the records of John & Sally Crosthwait Maupin's children: I.

MO, when war was declared with Mexico in 1846. Howard served one year, stationed at Ft. Leavenworth, KS. Howard and Nancy had 5 children: (a) Commodore Perry, (b) Elizabeth, (c) Rachel, (d) Garret (born in the Wagon train trip west) and (e) Nancy. In 1852 they took a donation land claim in the Williamette Valley, Oregon. He moved to Antelope Valley in 1863 where he was postmaster in 1871. Howard built and ran a ferry across the Deschutes River at the mouth of Bakeover Creek for several years and at that time the road across the hills was called "Maupin Trail." There is a family plot in Pioneer Cemetery close to Ashland, Oregon where several of the family are buried. Howard Maupin killed Chief Paulina, renegade Indian close to upper Front Creek, OR, after Paulina and his band ran off some twenty of his horses.

C. John Maupin III (designated III to help keep "Johns" straight), son of John Maupin, Jr, grandson of John & Sally Crosthwait Maupin, was b. ca 1814 in Clay Co. KY. This John seems to have been different than his brothers and sisters in that, at least for the early generations, they stayed in Kentucky. As with the others of this family records are very meager. What is presented is from the work of Bill Albertson and Preston Roark of Manchester, KY. These names should respond to research from the 1850 census forward. John III married twice; first to Sylvia (Silvany) Reid. They had 11 Children: 1. Nancy Maupin, b. 1834; m. Richard Langsford. 2. Winney Maupin路, b. 1837; m. Isaac Langsford. 3.

D. Daniel Maupin, son of John Jr, grandson of John and Sally Crosthwait Maupin, b. 10 Mar 1818, in Clay Co., KY, d. 1907, buried in Cheyene Cemetery, North of Luray, KS. Like his brothers Andrew and Thomas, Daniel came to Henry Co. MO. On 13 Apr 1851, in Clinton, MO, he married Mary Margaret Kieffer, b. 12 Aug 1835; d. 3 Nov 1912, in Auburn, WA. They had 13 children all born in Missouri. Nine children lived to maturity and had large families. With one exception, only Daniel and Mary Margaret's children will be listed here. They are all born after 1850 for which census records will be available for those who are interested in researching their line. The one exception will be a son of Samuel Cox Maupin, John Emmett Maupin, b. 1 Oct 1904 in Luray, KS. That is because John and his wife Hortense, both now deceased, worked so very hard many years along with their daughter Mary Lou Dewey to research their family and to find the parents of their Daniel, b. in 1818. That was their "brick wall", Now with this research giving the answer those interested can complete their own family history.

D. Daniel Maupin, son of John Jr, grandson of John and Sally Crosthwait Maupin, b. 10 Mar 1818, in Clay Co., KY, d. 1907, buried in Cheyene Cemetery, North of Luray, KS. Like his brothers Andrew and Thomas, Daniel came to Henry Co. MO. On 13 Apr 1851, in Clinton, MO, he married Mary Margaret Kieffer, b. 12 Aug 1835; d. 3 Nov 1912, in Auburn, WA. They had 13 children all born in Missouri. Nine children lived to maturity and had large families. With one exception, only Daniel and Mary Margaret's children will be listed here. They are all born after 1850 for which census records will be available for those who are interested in researching their line. The one exception will be a son of Samuel Cox Maupin, John Emmett Maupin, b. 1 Oct 1904 in Luray, KS. That is because John and his wife Hortense, both now deceased, worked so very hard many years along with their daughter Mary Lou Dewey to research their family and to find the parents of their Daniel, b. in 1818. That was their "brick wall". Now with this research giving the answer those interested can complete their own family history.

IX Hannah Maupin, daughter of John & Sally Crosthwait Maupin. Hannah is the ancestor of Mrs. Garland King of Nowata, OK, who worked many years trying to find the birth date and parents for Hannah.

I want to pay tribute to Geneva King for her fine research, sharing and friendship. Her records on Clay Co. Kentucky were as complete and thorough as she could get. In her husband's serious illness, she stopped research, sending much to me. Her research on the Bunch family which is quite extensive will be in the Heart of America Genealogical Society Library in the Kansas City, MO, library.

located and family letters calling aunts and uncles by name. After William Overton (55) and John Harris (56), the only other married male in the family of Gabriel and Susanna Bailey Maupin, is Dabney. Another clue is in the name. From Bible records we have: William Bailey Maupin, b. 6 Jun 1824, in Madison Co. KY; died 31 Jan 1918, in Durant, OK. In the article on John Rice Maupin in "The Chronicles of Oklahoma", pg. 308, it calls William B. Maupin, John Rice's brother which is incorrect because John Rice's family has been accounted for which makes them cousins. William Bailey Maupin also came to the Westport area. He lived in Shawnee and then Edwardsville, KS. All of these towns are now in the metropolitan Kansas City area. They had another fami~y tie to this area. That was John Harris, son of Margaret Maupin, sister of Gabriel (23) and her husband John Harris, senior, a prominent merchant and owner of the "Harris House" in Westport.

a. Donald Evans Maupin, b. 21 Nov 1925 in Durant, OK. He is single. b. Gerard Evans Maupin, b. 24 Jul 1936; m. 14 Sep 1961, in Mendota, IL, to Donna Austin, 2 daughters, Karen Lynn and Lisa Ann Maupin. 6.

William Bailey Maupin, m. 2 Jan 1846 to Jane Noland, b. 30 Dec 1829. They lived in the Edwardsville, KS, area where William operated a ferry across the Kansas River to Shawnee and Westport. They had 7 children: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5.

Missouri Maupin, b. 23 Mar 1855, daughter of William Bailey Maupin and Jane Noland. She died 12 Nov 1927, in Edwardsville, KS; married 22 Dec 1870, to Walter Benjamin Shannon, b. 1840; d. 11 Jun 1902. They had a large family but with the farge family Missouri still had time to write and her many ,-ecollections of life in this part of Kansas is recorded in the Kansas City Kansan written in the 1920's and available for viewing on microfilm. In the 1840's the push of the eastern Indians westward was much in progress. The Delaware, Shawnee, and Wyandot tribes came from Ohio and were the early settlers and founders of what is now Kansas City, KS. Missouri's writings of these early days are so interesting. She writes: "We liked the Delawares. They were our only neighbors and they were always good to us". She writes that her father, William Maupin ran a ferry from the Chouteau trading post on the south bank of the Kansas river to a point near the present site of Edwardsville, KS, on the north bank. Her father also operated a saw mill and a grinding mills. "The Indians patronized father's grinding mill from the start. They would trade pelts, wide berries and Indian baskets for having their corn ground. Old Half Moon was Chief then. We liked him and his family. Edwardsville is named for his eldest son. Half Moon used to let us have church in his house whenever an itinerant preacher came by. Some white settlers from across the river, our family and the Indians would crowd into Half Moon's house to hear the preaching. The only trouble is that we did not have services often enough." Her remembrances give us a better understanding of the hardships, joys and trials of our early settlers in this part of our country.

Jasper DeCalb Maupin, the last child of William Bailey Maupin and Jane Noland. He was b. 24 Apr 1858. This was all the information this writer had. Then an obituary was sent to me for a "Charlie Maupin" of Ft. Scott, KS. It was very faded but with the help of a magnifying glass the mystery unfolded. Jasper DeCalb somewhere or sometime in his life became "Charlie".

The information on John Miller Maupin supplied by Eugene Maupin had few dates and facts on this unique family member. He is unique because of the records I have found he is the only family member as a descendant of our immigrant ancestor Gabriel Maupin, who returned to Williamsburg and his descendants continued to live in the house John restored/built in 1838 until well after the restoration of colonial Williamsburg as a historical site. The above dates from family Bible records and other information has been supplied by Ruby Saunders Weidner of West Bloomfield, MI. It Is much appreciated. She is a descendant from John Miller Maupin's second marriage to Catherine Travis, who was the daughter of Samuel Travis and Elizabeth Bright. The Travis family traces their line to Edward Travis of Jamestown 1625. His son also Edward, b. 1660, d. 1706, his tomb is at Jamestown. The third Edward married Rebecca; their son, Col. Edward Champion Travis, b. 1721, married Susannah Hutchings. Their son Col. Champion Travis married Elizabeth Boush and their son Samuel is the father of Catherine Travis who married John Miller Maupin. Col. Champion Travis was a member of the House of Burgesses. With John Miller Maupin's first wife, Matilda Cole, daughter of Dr. Jesse Cole of Williamsburg, along with the descendants of Gabriel, Jr., the Maupin family has deep roots in Williamsburg. This has caused concern that the name "Maupin" has been removed from the Colonial Williamsburg Official Guide Book in its most recent printing (1990). Steps are being taken to remedy this omission. The same concern is shown for the renaming of the "eustis-Maupin" house to the "Custis Tenement". The reason given by the Foundation is that John Miller Maupin did not buy the property until 1833 and that date is not in the Colonial Period. In consideration of the history of the Maupin family in Williamsburg and that of it's related lines, it is hard to understand when the Maupin blood had been almost constant there from 1700. The capitol of Virginia was moved from Jamestown to Williamsburg in 1699, so the Maupins were there from the beginning.
