Well...........I would invite my gggg Grandfather, James Benjamin LEVAN and ask him where he was born and his parents names. I would also ask him what is my Grandmother Fanny's last name! Two other questions would be why the family did not answer Rev. Coon's survey of TN LEVANs, so that later generations would know if we are connected to the PA LEVANs, and why some of the family changed the spelling of their name to LAVAN (a Civil War grievance maybe between relatives?). Of course, I would hope he would bring photos to share and bring my other Great Grandparents to partake of our Thanksgiving Feast. Linda

Wow.....I would have quite a lot of guests. I have quite a few that refused to leave paper trails. I would invite John Blanton, my gggg-grandfather, and ask him who he was married to, and why there are sooooo many John Blantons from Tennessee. I would invite another gggg-grandfather Peter Hargis and ask him if indeed he was in Jackson, Tn with his father (who died in July 1850) in June 1850 when the census was enumerated there, and then back home in Madison Co, Ark in Oct 1850 when the census was enumerated there. Or was there another Peter Hargis supposedly. (This is my weak link to adding my Hargis surname to my DAR membership). I have lots more.....like I said I have quite a few. I would feed them turkey and all the trimmings.....AFTER a few answers! Pat --------------------------------- Yahoo! FareChase - Search multiple travel sites in one click.

There were a lot of Maupins in Campbell County, Tennessee and some left with my SMITH's to Marion County, Tennessee. Helen

Nelda, I did a little searching during my lunch hour and found an interesting possibility. I saw on some Ancestery records that it was believed that Ann Cupp moved to Chariton Mo., so I started looking there. I got interested when a William Maupin was listed in the records as a slave owner in Chariton Co.,in 1850, but I could not find him on the census. There was a Mitchell Maupin and a Cornelius Maupin listed in 1850 census, but it did not tie into your Ann. I called up a search for Ann, born ca 1828 in Tn. I got back an Anna Maupin b. 1828 in Tn, living in Lafayette Co. Mo (a couple co's over from Chariton Co), with husband James C. Maupin b. 1813 KY age 37 and son William age 1. This may be a lead, I do not know if you have searched this yet. Good Luck, Sharon Nelda Percival <[email protected]> wrote: Well, It is not a common name so they could be related..

Now those are some very interesting guests--- I sure would get full, as I would love to just drop in with each of you for a short visit with your relatives as well. I would have to invite my husbands Great Great Grandparents Robert and Susan Barnes-- I would love to ask them where they were born and how they got to Tn, if they weren't born here. I think it would be interesting to see what they thought of our current world situtation and was it really that much different than it was in their time around the 1800 or late 1700's . Ginny I have to agree with you on the changing of things even in our life time, let alone since they walked this earth. Of course visiting with each of their children sure would be fun as well.

Betty, I would invite my greatgrandfather, Uriah Nichols, b. 1817 TN, and then ask him why it is so hard to find out any information about his ancestors. I would explain who I am, his greatgranddaughter, and enlighten him to the many things that have been invented and used since he was alive, as well as tell him about all his many descendants. Heck, I'm surprised at how many things have been invented or come to pass in the 84 years I've been alive!! ginny ----- Original Message ----- From: macbetty<mailto:[email protected]> To: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> Sent: Sunday, November 13, 2005 7:48 PM Subject: [TNMARION] Thanksgiving Dinner If you could invite an ancestor to Thanksgiving dinner , who would it be?

Hi, Your Maupin, is not a common surname.. Do you possibly know this lineage? Nelda 1st Generation 1. First name unk. Maupin. He married Ann Cupp .

What relative would I pick to come to Thanksgiving dinner? That is a hard one. I would love to know why each of them moved west, and why the picked the direction they did. Some moved for land grants for military service, but why did some go to Texas and others to Missouri and Kansas. Did they lose their land because of a bad crop and keep moving west, or were they looking for what we all want, a place that felt like home. I would like to sit down with all 7 (ok, 8, one was a Tory) of the ancestors who fought in the Revolutionary War. I would like to find out what they felt about this land that they wanted to form the union. Was it only the taxation without representation or possibly the nobility system of English appointments to high positions (governors etc), or was it something more. Of course, like almost everyone, I would love another day with my parents, my brothers. I can think of a thousand questions for my grandparents too! I guess if I had to pick one person, it would be my Daniel Maupin who served in the Rev War as a courier under Gen. George Washington during the winter at Valley Forge and was with Washington till the surrender of Cornwallis at Yorktown. His service earned him the nickname of "Tough" Daniel Maupin. I can only imagine the experiences he must of had being a courier going behind enemy lines to get Washingtons' messages to his generals, and taking messages back to him. I feel very lucky to have had relatives that have fought for us from the Rev. War to the Gulf War. We can be thankful this Thanksgiving to all those men and women, who have fought for us.

Hi, Now that's a serious question. I will list them in order of importance to me.. There are three people who are at the top of my genealogy wishes. My Great Grandfather John G. Gilpin, b. supposedly in Montgomery Co., OH 14 August - 1822-1828? He just appears in Abington Co., IN and marries Mary Ann Graves in 1850. What would I ask him? Who are your parents and where did you all come from? Next would have to be Richard the Rider or his real name Richard deGuylpyn, b. before 1272 when he was given a land grant for Ulwithwaite Manor in Westmoreland England. There are three questions I'd just have to ask him. Who the heck was Bert deGylpyn. Of course encourging him to explain in detail.. then next Did you really kill that Boar?? And was it you or your Daddy that was at the signing of the Magna Carta, They say one of you did the scribe work as most of the Barons and King John could not read or write. THe third person is also a Gilpin. William Gilpin inherited Ulwithwaite Manor and Kentmere Hall along with about 4000 acres of land. He was a Kings man and fought on the Kings side in the Cromwellian Wars (England's's Civil War) as we know the king lost, so his soldiers were persecuted by Cromwell. William tried tricking them by selling Kentmere Hall to a cousin, but the money was never paid and when the King came back into partial power William's family did not ask to have Williams land returned to him, So the family lost these lands and Heritage (which still stands today...) Then William disappears, some of us believe he went to Ireland and started the Irish Gilpins. I want to know what he was thinking and where he went! Oh my, explaining who I am? and what year it is.. Now I don't think that the year would be as hard to explain as it might seem. The Gilpins through-out History have been learned men, some as Bernard Gilpin were preachers (he was called the apposel of the North and it has been said would have been sainted if St hood was allowed by then in England..) Or if you look at the Artists or even an Ambassador to the Haig (spelling) as one was for Queen Elizabeth I. So you see the Gilpins were learned men.. So grasping the idea of being this far into the future would not be that hard for them.. But, me as a descendant..LOL not sure how they would take that I'd either be well loved or beaten for being way to forward fo a woman! If I could add a non relative.. It would have to be Elizabeth I, Queen of England.
