Cousins, My sister-in-law found this on ebay; it's a Confederate bond, dated 1864 and signed by Wm G. Maupin, treasurer of Portsmouth City. The auction closes 30 November. I'm pretty sure he's not in my line but thought someone else might be interested. http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=507706347 Margie Livingston livingsl@cais.net
