Those deeds/exploits must be documented somewhere? Anyone have anything on that? And along the same lines (no pun intended) how did 'Rough' Dan get his nickname? And 'Cuff' Dan is the same person as "Rough" Dan, right? >> Hi June: Rough Dan: "He served in the Revolutionary army and was Washington's courier during the winter at Valley Forge. He took part in all of the battles fought by Washington from 1778 to the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown. His extraordinary vitality during the hardships of these campaings won for him the name of 'Tough Danial Maupin'." Cuff Dan: "He was born in Hanover County, VA in 1727 and died in 1803 on his farm on Muddy Creek in Madison County, KY. He was known as "Cuff" Daniel Maupin and was a member of the Albemarle County militia during the Indian Wars of 1758.
