Daniel and Margaret are shown to be born in VA. Yet the son Gabriel's birthplace is listed as France. The Maupin family hadn't been in France for sometime.. months before the marriage of Daniel's (b. 1700) parents, Gabriel Maupin and Maria Hersent. The fact that the MAUPINS were Huguenots no doubt gives many reasons why they first fled to Holland where many of their children were born... before they embarked for Virginia. Ellie Swanger

Dear Ellie, Thank you VERY MUCH for catching and correcting my BLUNDER !!! [email protected] wrote: >In a message dated 11/26/2005 2:18:22 P.M.

Apparently my addled brain confused Gabriel, the grandfatherr with Gabriel, the grandson. It was, of course, Gabriel Maupin, the grandfather who was born in France and died in 1720 and EMPHTICALLY NOT Gabriel Maupin, his grandson who was actually born, as you say, in VA in the same year, 1720! I can't think you enough for pointing out my stupid error. In addition, And I DO humbly apologize to everyone who must have had a truly DREADFUL time trying to sort through the mess of my e-mail. For the life of me, I don't know WHAT went wrong with the formatting.
