Biography

Nancy Maupin is the descendant of a Huguenot emigrant.

Nancy was born in 1824. She is the daughter of Thomas L. Maupin, Sr. and Anna Miller.

The 1850 Census^[1] shows her at age 25 in the home of her parents in Franklin County, Missouri.

She married her first cousin Louis Maupin Jr. (1828-1864) in 1851. He is the son of Lewis Maupin, the son of Mosias "Cyrus" Maupin and Leah (Downey) Maupin.

Excerpted from her Obituary: "...with her husband, parents, four brothers and two sisters and a number of others left their homes here on the 17th day of March 1853 as emigrants to the far west. They traveled by way of wagon with ox teams and upon horse back and landed at Lane County, Oregon, September 18, 1853, being on the road six months and one day. Nancy rode a horse the entire distance. Her parents becoming dissatisfied with their new home, they all decided to return to Missouri except her brother, Boyd Maupin. So they sold their stock and wagon equipment and in October 1854 left for Missouri, traveling by water, landing at St. Louis about the 20th of December and at Washington, Mo. on Christmas Day. She with her husband spent the next two years with his parents near Union, Mo., after which they located and moved to a home in Gasconade County not far from Rosebud where she spent the remainder of her life."^[2]

They had the following children:

1. Francis Louis Maupin, b. 16 Aug 1854, in Lane County, Oregon, d. 19 Oct 1912.
2. Nancy Anna Maupin, b. 6 Jan 1861, d. 1951
3. John Presley Maupin, b. 9 Mar 1863, d. 30 Nov 1924

Her husband, Louis died in 1863.

The 1870 Census^[3] shows her at age 42 with her three children in Canaan Township, Gasconade County, Missouri.

The 1880 Census^[4] shows her at age 55 with her three children and her mother, Anna in Canaan Township, Gasconade County, Missouri.

The 1910 Census^[5] shows her at age 86 in the home of her son and daughter in Canaan Township, Gasconade County, Missouri.

She passed away in 1917. ^[6] The informant on her death certificate is her daughter, "Miss Nancy Annie Maupin." She was buried at the New Salem Cemetery, Owensville, Gasconade County, Missouri.^[7]
