• Notes

  Daniel Maupin, sometimes differentiated from other Daniels as “Saddler Daniel,” was born to John and Frances (Dabney) Maupin September 16, 1756, on Moorman’s River, in northwestern Albemarle County, Virginia. He married first to Martha Jarman, January 14, 1782 in Albemarle County. She was a daughter of Thomas Jarman, who received a patent for 88 acres on Moorman’s River in 1762. They had two children: Miriam, married Bernard M. Brown, son of Bernard Brown Sr. and Elizabeth (Dabney) Brown; Kate, married William Harris. Daniel married second to Betsy Gentry April 21, 1791. They had eight children: Joel, married Martha Gentry, a daughter of Christopher Gentry, and moved west; James D., married Dorinda Hauger or Kennerly, had three children; Nimrod, born January 3,1811, married Miss Harris, had two children; Lilburn, married Eliza Kent, had 1 child; Martin, never married; Frances, married Dabney M. Jarman, had five children; Mary, married John Hayden, had seven children; Betsy, married Thomas W. Harris, had six children. Daniel married third to Hannah (Jameson) Harris, the widow of William Harris, a son of Major Robert Harris of Albemarle County and brother of Christopher Harris, December 24, 1812. Their children were Merret, who weighed 360 pounds at his death; John, who was unmarried; and Sarah, who married a Dr. Peary and moved to MIssouri. Daniel volunteered for 12 months of millitia service early in September, 1776, under Bernice Brown to guard several Tories and 40 or 50 military prisoners. He was discharged after 5 or 6 months. In February, 1777, he enlisted for three years in the Continental Forces, but when his parents objected, he found a substitute to take his place. During 1777 and 1778, he was twice drafted into the militia for two 2-month tours,but he hired John & William Maupin to take his place. Next, in the latter part of May 1781, he was called up and served for 2 months. He entered militia service again for three months during which he was employed in making light horse saddles, halters, wagon gear. He applied for a veterans pension (file S 5733) in October, 1832 and was awarded a pension of $23.33 annually commencing March 4, 1831 and last paid in 1837. He was listed in the Albemarle personal property tax rolls from 1782 (earliest available) through 1837, and in 1838 the entry changed to Daniel Maupin’s estate. His prosperity increased over the years, during which he was charged with 1-9 slaves and 1-12 horses. In the 1810 census for Albemarle County, he had eight children, in 1820, ten children, and in 1830, four children. In 1834, he and Hannah gave the ground for the Mount Moriah Meeting House, near Whitehall in Albemarle, which for many years went by the name of Maupin's Meeting House. Daniel died in 1838. Hannah survived him and was listed in the 1840 census with three adults 20-29 and one 15-19. [1, 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9]
