• Notes

  John Maupin was born to John and Frances (Dabney) Maupin about 1761 in Albemarle County, Virginia. He married Sarah (Sally) Crosthwait about 1783/84 in Albemarle County. They had nine children: Patsy, born in 1785, married first John McDaniel who died in March, 1807, second to William Cunningham August 8, 1808, died in 1853; Perry, born December 9, 1786, married Rachel Bradley, died August 9, 1844; Dabney, born in 1787, married Sally Dennis March 12, 1809, died August 9, 1844; John Jr., born in 1788, married Frances (__), died before 1830; Belle Ann, born in 1789, married Nesbitt Allen April 13, 1810; Howard, born May 30, 1791, married Lucy Gossett April 13, 1810; Thomas, born April 29, 1795, married first Margaret Dennis in March, 1818, second Sally Ward, died March 25, 1865, in Denver, Colorado; Nancy, born ca 1799, married George Bunch March 11, 1818; Hannah, born about 1810, married James Bunch December 19, 1827 in Laurel County, Kentucky, died in 1851. John was listed in the Albemarle personal property tax lists from 1791 to 1794. He moved to Madison County before 1804, when he confirmed in court that he had improved and settled on 400 acres of land on Buzzard Branch of Goose Cr. In 1807, the part of Madison County where John lived was combined with parts of Floyd and Knox Counties to form the new Clay County, named for Green Clay, a general in the War of 1812 and member of the Virginia and Kentucky legislatures. John was listed in the Clay County tax lists from 1807 through 1809 with 400 acres and his eldest son Perry with 200 acres. The 1810 records have not survived, but in October, 1809, John and Sarah filed a lawsuit that was abated by the court in July, 1811 because of John’s death, which indicates that he died in 1810/11. In the 1810 census for Clay County, John, Perry, and Dabney were listed in separate households. In the 1820 census for Clay County, Perry, Howard, and Thomas were living in separate households and Dabney was in neighboring Madison County. In the 1830 census, Dabney, Howard, and John Jr.’s widow, Frances, were living in Clay County, Perry in Ray County, Missouri, and Thomas in Morgan or possibly Madison County, Kentucky. By 1831, all of the Maupins in Clay County moved away and dropped out ot the tax lists, perhaps partly because Clay County was a somewhat isolated mountain county, and prone to violence and feuds from its formation in 1806 through the rest of the nineteenth century. In the 1840 census, a young John Maupin, aged 20-29, was living in Clay County. [5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11]
