There is a Maupin rootsweb list _maupin-l@rootsweb.com_ (mailto:maupin-l@rootsweb.com) Perhaps you can access the Archives on rootsweb and determine whether you want to subscribe to the list. My impression was all the discussion on the list was of rather recent Maupins, mostly of Missouri, rather than those in Albemarle and other Southside counties--colonial era. Colonial Virginians are hard to research because of a lot of missing records!!! (My Harris family of colonial Louisa and of Albemarle Cos. intermarried with some of the Maupins, and some of them seemed to migrate together to Madison Co., KY--which in the beginning was a HUGE county.)
