Good Morning!!! Sorry I did not get to talk with you more. Have heard of you for several years and since you are active on my favorite line I wanted to talk with you. Sorry I was in error on who was the descendant, but I am glad you married into the family, we need good people like you. Did you see the documents I had at the Reunion of John Maupin and Sally Crosthwaite? Have more. Did not have time to get all of them ready. Careful examination of these documents will give us additional information about this fearless and handworking early Kentucky family. I am so impress with John Maupin, he was a real fighter, and a hard working man. By the way are you still involved with Jamestown? Am very interested in the celebration they are planning for 2007. Do you know anything about it or where I can check into it? I like to start early on planning on trips. I am also interested in checking the list of names for those who were at Jamestown to see if there might be a line there on which I have worked.
