Clarence, The census data you have, while not a positive identifier, is a very good clue to a possible relationship. You want to build on that until you confirm it or find that it is not the connection. While the name "Richard" may not be common among the MAUPINs (it may be from a maternal line) the name "George W." is common in the Jesse line. William, the son of Jesse and Lucy (JONES) MAUPIN, went to Adair Co. KY from Henry Co. VA by 1840. Unfortunately, I no longer have a record of some their descendants which might have helped you tie into this line. You will simply have to do the research yourself, but that is half the fun, and you wouldn't want to miss that. Phyllis J.
