Sometime ago, I sent for several DAR application copies.. including one of Daniel Maupin, Sr. The copy I received was #692227, submitted by Mrs. Howland of Oregon.. (I hope you don't mind... if you are online with us... ) She states that Daniel Maupin Sr. "furnished beef for the troops.. " This record should be in the DAR record dept. Another source of information follows... "Virginia 'Publick' Claims, Albemarle County," compiled and transcribed by Janice L. Abercrombi and Richard Slatten, copyright not given, but I purchased the booklet in the 1990s.. Introduction in brief: "The documents known as the court booklets in the Public Service Claims, Record Group 48, Virginia State Library and Archives, came into being following the Rev. War. At various times during the war the General Assembly of Virginia had required the citizens individually, or the county governments acting as local procurement agencies, to provide livestock, foodstuffs, arms and other supplies for the use of the militia and for the Virginia and Continental armies. When the scene of action shifted to Virginia and the south during the second half of the war, military officers borrowed, bought, impressed, or sometimes simply took necessary supplies from the citizens. Many of the officers provided certificates, or receipts, for the articles they took so that the owners could seek reimbursement form the state government or from the Congress." The hurried and sometimes haphazard nature of the impressment rendered compensation difficult. Some officers provided no certificates or provided inadequate ones. Some certificates did not accurately describe the articles impressed. Some certificates gave the values of the impressed articles in depreciated currency or assigned no monetary value at all.. Some people lost their certificates. The resulting confusion made it virtually impossible for Virginia to settle its accounts and pay its claims." Thus.. "The General Assembly passed 'An Act for Adjusting Claims for Property Impressed or Taken for Public Service.. ' " Basically, this book contains information that the citizens claimed they had supplied during the war.. They were asked to submit their claim for payment.. which of course had to be evaluated ... This is the nature of this book.. Here's what I find on the Maupins.. Most are dated 1783 - p. 2 - John Maupine for 10# bacon furnished CPL, L 1 -10 State p. 3 - Daniel Maupine for 297# rye flour at Barracks 111-5 Cont p. 25 - Gabriel Maupine for 350# beef taken by N. Lewis by order of Gov. Nelson for Contl. L 2 -18-4C p. 28 - Daniel Maupine for 350# beef taken by N. Lewis L 2 -18-4C p. 28 - Gabriel Maupine for 350# beef taken by N. Lewis L 2 -18-4C I HOPE THIS HELPS ANYONE SEARCHING FOR GOOD DEEDS THAT OUR MAUPINS PERFORMED.. TO HELP IN THE REV. WAR CAUSE!!!!.... CHEERS, ELLIE S.

Hi Ellie and all, I read with interest regarding the below information. The DAR may have approved this application with the documented proofs Mrs. Howland provided. The DAR will not supply you with the proof - just a copy of the application. If the DAR actually has this record, you can go there and acquire a copy if you know what you are looking for. If you, Denise or I were to submit this lineage, and even tie into the line, we would have to have submit a copy of the proof (document of service) a "document from the government agency". Just like I am working on a Jamestowne Society application. Even tho the line has been proven, I still have to submit a document acceptable as proof of service by the genealogist. In some cases, the genealogist will accept documented books, otherwise you have to submit a copy of the actual record. Denise, use the page 28 information to the Archives to see if they have a copy of L-2-18-4C. If they do, that would be your documented proof. Again, the VA Archives or the National Archives usually has Rev. War documentation.
