John Miller Maupin

The information on John Miller Maupin supplied by Eugene Maupin had few dates and facts on this unique family member. He is unique because of the records I have found he is the only family member as a descendant of our immigrant ancestor Gabriel Maupin, who returned to Williamsburg and his descendants continued to live in the house John restored/built in 1838 until well after the restoration of colonial Williamsburg as a historical site. The above dates from family Bible records and other information has been supplied by Ruby Saunders Weidner of West Bloomfield, MI. It Is much appreciated. She is a descendant from John Miller Maupin's second marriage to Catherine Travis, who was the daughter of Samuel Travis and Elizabeth Bright. The Travis family traces their line to Edward Travis of Jamestown 1625. His son also Edward, b. 1660, d. 1706, his tomb is at Jamestown. The third Edward married Rebecca; their son, Col. Edward Champion Travis, b. 1721, married Susannah Hutchings. Their son Col. Champion Travis married Elizabeth Boush and their son Samuel is the father of Catherine Travis who married John Miller Maupin. Col. Champion Travis was a member of the House of Burgesses.
