Dear Ellie, The Maupins, the Jones and a whole lot of other people in Madison Co., KY who came from Louisa Co. and Albemarle Co. (and lots of surrounding counties) to Madison Co., Ky and then perhaps on to other places, such as Missouri, are of passing interest to me, because they intermarried with the children of Christopher Harris, who died testate in Madison Co., KY. I do know from previous correspondence on the internet that there is a great deal of interest in these families of yours. May I suggest you again post your descendancy, at least to the Civil War (not living folks, however, except if you want to be brave and include yourself) again on the Madison Co., KY list, giving dates and places where these couples lived, if at all possible. Maybe you don't want to be overhwhelmed with e-mail, however. Mostly I post tidbits of information I have collected over the decades to encourage others NOT to rely on the internet, but to sit down at a microfilm reader, or borrow books on interlibrary loan to further their research!!! (I try to write biographies of most the people in my database--mostly because I am absent-minded and again don't like to fish around in my voluminous file drawers--which are largely unindexed!!!) For a time, I subscribed to a Maupin genforum or a rootsweb site concerning this family, but all the correspondents seemed interested in the Missouri Maupins, completely ignoring the earlier history!!!! In my book, Missouri is a newcomer in genealogical lore!!! I believe the Maupins were originally of Huguenot descent, were they not? I have been reading some of the publications by The Antient Press of Albemarle Co., VA records, and there are lots of references to various Jones males, but Mosias Jones, because of his different given name, stands out in those records. Now, I see the Antient Press has some transcriptions of Louisa Co. court records, and those should be of interest to those of us who have roots in Albemarle Co. and Goochland Co. and Louisa Co., VA. Glad to hear from you. I know others would be interested in any of your contributions. Put some meat on those bones!!!! E.W.Wallace

Dear E.W., I, too, am interested - especially in Maupin, Epperson, Ballard & Burch/Burk lines. - Albermarle, VA to Madison, KY. I've read and been grateful for any number of your previous postings. But, woould be grateful for more than "tidbits" as I am a now shut-in and my research is now totally limited to the computer with a sloooooow internet connection, to boot. So, please reconsider your point of view that others should "sit down at a microfilm reader, or borrow books on interlibrary loan to further their research!!! " I have the following Maupin line and would be very grateful for any additions and/or corrections.
