DEAR WILLIAM, IT'S JUST ME AGAIN. I HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO READ MY EMAIL SINCE OCT 23RD. I WOULD LIKE TO PARTICIPATE IN YOUR RESEARCH GROUP. I RAN ACROSS SOME OLD NEWSPAPER ARTICLES FROM WASHINGTON,MO THAT MENTION THE MAUPINS. I WILL RUN THESE OFF AND SEND THEM. I LOCATED THE BOOK "A CONFEDERATE NURSE" AND AM RE-READING IT. IT ACTUALLY TOOK PLACE IN CHARLOTTESVILLE,VA. I WILL SEND THAT TO YOU TOO. I AM ALSO SENDING SOME PICTURES OF A MAUPIN COAT OF ARMS THAT I GAVE TO MY MOM IN 1972. I ORDERED IT FROM A BRITISH FIRM. IT HAS A COPPER-ENAMELED SHIELD ON A WOODEN SHIELD. TECHNICALLY, ONLY THE OLDEST SON-AD INFINITUM-IS ALLOWED THE USE OF THE FAMILY COAT OF ARMS. HIS WIFE CAN ADD HERS TO HALF OF THE SHIELD IF SHE IS THE OLDEST AND MARRIES THE OLDEST. THEY ARE STILL COPY-WRITED TO THIS DAY. A FRIEND OF MINE HAD A "FLEM,NOIR ,TROIS SANGRE, ON A SILVER SHIELD--COULD NOT REMEMBER HOW IT IS WRITTEN IN FRENCH. IT IS A BLACK MEDIEVAL BLOOD LETTING DEVICE,STANDING UPRIGHT IN THE MIDDLE GROUND OF THE SHIELD,WITH THREE DROPS OF BLOOD ON A SILVER BACKGROUND. WHY I MENTION THIS IS AN ARMY GROUP LISTED A BADGE IN THE "QUARTERMASTER'S" CATALOG THAT ONLY LACKED THE BLOOD DRIPPING OFF OF IT. MY FRIEND CONTACTED OUR KINGDOM'S HERALD AND HE FILED THE NECESSARY PAPERWORK AND THE ARMY BADGE WAS ELIMINATED. (OUR KINGDOM WITH THE "SOCIETY FOR CREATIVE ANACHRONISM"). I AM SO HUNGRY. EVEN THE DOG FOOD SMELLS GOOD.

First wife of Daniel Maupin, III, I have worked on this but it needs more work.
