Mary Maupin

At his first wife Judith's death Gabriel II was left with a new born Gabriel III, and Mary, age 7. He married again to Mary Saunders, widow of Robert Saunders with two children, Mary and John, then half grown. Gabriel and Mary Saunders had no children and Mary refused any share of Gabriel's estate 420 after his death in 1742.

The source of this Information can be found in Dr. Socrates Maupin's File 16069 In the University of Virginia Library. It is a letter dated 11 Oct 1858, signed by M. I. Smead which reads:

"Dr. s. Maupin, My de~r Sir: I have been to the Clerk's office and examined all the indices of Wills in the 18th century - the only Will of a Maupin was dated April 22, 1742. He left one-third of his property to his wife Mary, a legacy to his daughter Mary, and the remainder to his son Gabriel. The wife, Mary, did not accept her third and it probably reverted to Gabriel, the son. She had been married before to R. Saunders, by whom she had two children. In the Will a small legacy is left to Daniel Maupin, a brother."
