Hi Nalora: I wonder who he was? My relative, John Rice Maupin, who ran with the Jesse James gang, married into the Colbert family along with a lot of my other relatives. But, he only had a daughter. Was there more on that? By the way, John Rice Maupin is the one referred to in GOODING & MAUPIN, the store. A Maupin cousin sent me a long article on the Colbert Ferry and the John was mentioned a number of times. Sandi :)
