Hi Richard, Can you please let the Maupins know that their cousins are praying both for Mica's speedy and successful recovery and that we haven't forgotten about Matt--he and his wife, child and parents remain in our prayers. nancy

The family has our prayers. We haven't stopped praying for Matt and his family since he was taken captive. This is such a sad thing to happen - and especially at Christmas. We shall pray for a full reovery for Mica.

Got a question for Maupin researchers. Anna Maupin daughter of Gabriel Maupin and Ann Ballard married George TURNER son of Charles and Mary Ann Turner. Was he also married to Margaret "Peggy"Maupin, her sister? I think I have a mixup in my records. Pat

The Maupins were from France. They were Huguenots who fled France. Gabriel went to Amsterdam where he married Marie Hersent. They came to America in 1700 on the ship LeNassau. Settled in Virginia. From there many branches left and went westward while others stayed in Virginia. Judy

Old French was a dialect of Latin that eventually turned into what we now know as the French language. “Mau” is an Old French word which might translate as “baneful.” “Pin” means “pinetree” in both Old and Modern French. So far, the earliest known Maupin was Jean de Friville in 1256. > Best, Sandi Carter
