Smith Mapes of Ulster Co, NY and his son Samuel Mapes are in my direct lineage. This line of Mapes arrived in MI (where my mother's family began) in the Detroit area in the late 1820s. Anyone wanting information on the Mapes let me know. I am happy to exchange information. Roger A Haskins. Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
