Because Harris is such a common name, I have tried to round up surnames belonging to some of the Harris spouses. Maupin is one such name. I am fairly sure this is a Huguenot name, but I do generally do Huguenot research. I only note that several of the Harris offispring of colonial Louisa Co., Va and later of Albemarle Co., VA married into names which sound suspiciously French to me. The land patents frequently refer to these patentees as *French Refugees* - French Protestants, who were persecuted--and killed--in France. They fled all over to other European countries, a fascinating group. Here are some minimal notes on some early Maupin males: If you use this material in your own family histories, please add the citation. Others will wonder *Where did he/she get this *stuff*?* Cite your sources is important to have your work respected. E.W.Wallace Jan 2004 Cornelius Maupin is mentioned in this paragraph: "Daniel Maupin patented on Moorman's River in 1748, and his brother, Gabriel Maupin also lived in the county [Albemarle Co.] Daniel, William and Cornelius Maupin, believed to have been grandsons of Daniel Maupin, were Revolutionary soldiers. Dr. Socrates Maupin, professor of chemistry at Hampden-Sydney College and afterwards of the University of Virginia faculty, was of this family, as was Chapman W. Maupin, who was a magistrate in 1835." (John H. Gwathmey, "Albemarle County" in TWELVE VIRGINIA COUNTIES WHERE THE WESTERN MIGRATION BEGAN [Baltimore: Genealogical Publishing Co., 1981], p. 343) Cornelius Maupin was a witness in Augusta Co., Deed Bk 23:370, dated 7 Apr 1781 (Revolution ended latter part of 1783). The grantor was James Kennerley and the grantee was William Kennerley. **************It's only a deal if it's where you want to go. Find your travel deal here.
