Cornelius Maupin was born to John and Frances (Dabney) Maupin February 3, 1758, in Albemarle County, Virginia.
He lived in Albemarle County all his life, unlike his namesake cousin, Cornelius, son of Daniel Maupin, who emigrated to Madison County, Kentucky, about 1789. He married four times: first to Mourning Harris, a daughter of James and Mary Harris, and a granddaughter of Major Robert Harris; second to Nancy Tomlin in 1797, with whom he had one daughter, Nancy Maupin, who married David Wiant; third to Mary/Polly Paul May 18, 1802, with whom he had a son, Cornelius Dabney Maupin, who married Rebecca Johnson and an unknown daughter, a son Thomas, and a daughter Virginia; and fourth to Mary/Polly Ellis June 28, 1829, who had no children.
In 1777 or 1778, he was drafted into the Virginia militia and served for 3 months. His company marched from Albemarle to Richmond, then to York and Hampton, then to Williamsburg, where they were discharged. He was drafted again in the fall of 1779, but hired a sustitute to take his place. In the spring of 1781, he was drafted again and served as a guard to the magazine on the James River for two months. Later in 1781, he was employed for three months as a shoemaker at the regimental barracks in Albemarle County. In October, 1832, he applied for a Revolutionary War pension, application no. R 7041. However, his employment as a shoemaker was not counted toward the six months military service requirement, so his application was rejected. A letter from a pension official in his file stated that he was the only Cornelius Maupin in the pension files.
In the 1810 census, Cornelius was listed with his wife, 2 children, and 47(?) slaves. In the 1820 census, he was living with his wife, a male and a female aged 26-44 (probably a son or daughter and spouse), 7 children 0-15, and 4 slaves. In the 1830 census, he was 70-79 and living with his wife 50-59 and 4 slaves. In the 1840 census, he was 80-89, his wife was 60-69, and they had no slaves.
Cornelius was first listed in the Albemarle personal property tax lists in 1792 (the earliest surviving year) and last listed in 1840. During his life, he was charged with 0-4 slaves and 1-5 horses. He probably died in the second half of 1840 or the first half of 1841, aged about 82.

Dabney Anderson was born to Capt. William and Dorothy (Dabney) Anderson in King William County.
He appears not to have married. He died, probably in his early 30’s, in late 1734 or early 1735 in Caroline County. On February 13, 1735, the Court ordered an appraisal of his estate, which was submitted and recorded March 12, 1735.

Dabney Carr was born to John and Barbara (Overton) Carr October 26, 1743, at Bear Castle, a thousand acre farm in Louisa County, Virginia. He studied law with Thomas Jefferson at William and Mary College and became a practicing lawyer. He married Martha Jefferson, a sister of Thomas Jefferson, July 20, 1765. They had six children: Jane Barbara, born 1766; Lucy, born March 7, 1768; Mary (Polly), born March 7, 1768; Peter, born 1770; Samuel, born October 8, 1771; and Dabney, born April 27, 1773.
In 1771 and in 1772, he was elected to the House of Burgesses. In 1773, when a small group that included Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, and others decided to propose the formation of committees of correspondence with the other colonies, he was selected to move the resolutions in the House, and did so in a speech described as " remarkable for its force and eloquence." The proposal was approved, and he was appointed to the first committee. Thirty-five days later, he died on May 16, 1773, aged 29, only 19 days after the birth of his youngest son. He was buried in the Jefferson family graveyard at Monticello.

He moved from Virginia to Surry County, North Carolina, before 1782, when he was listed in the Surry County tax list in Capt. Humphries’ district with 100 acres, 1 horse, and 2 cows. In 1785, he received a land grant of 150 acres on Glady Creek of Little River in Wilkes County. In 1787, he was assigned to road maintnance duty near Mitchel’s River in Wilkes County Court Minutes, Vol. I & 2. In the 1790 census for Wilkes County, he was listed with 3 males under16, 2 over 16, and 6 females. In 1795, he sent his son, Christopher, to Madison County, Kentucky, with a power of attorney to claim Dabney’s inheritance from the estate of his father, Christopher Harris, who died in 1794. During 1797-1799, he appears to have had some interests in Washington County, Virginia, when he was listed in the personal property tax rolls with minimal property. When the 1800 census was taken, he was living in Salisbury, Surry County, with his wife, two sons aged 10-15 and 16-25, two daughters 10-15, and one 16-25. In 1808 or 1809, he and his son, Christopher, moved to Washington County, Virginia, where they were listed in the 1809 and 1810 personal property tax rolls with a number of other Harrises. Dabney signed his will January 24, 1810 and the will was proved 27 August, 1810, in Washington County. He bequeathed all of his property to his son, Christopher, with the understanding that Christopher would maintain and take good care of his parents for the rest of their lives. In the 1810 census, Christopher and his family and other Harris families were living in Washington County.

Dabney and Ann lived on a farm named Woodlawn in Orange County. In the Orange County personal property tax lists, he was charged from 1784 to 1796 with 6-15 slaves and 3-7 horses. The size of his land is unknown because the Albemarle land tax records have not survived. He was appointed to a commission of 5 to lay off 2 acres for public buildings in Orange, the county seat. He was also a trained carpenter given a variety of assignments in the construction of the court house and the provision of its fittings, such as tables and bookcases. He died November 7, 1799.

In 1780, Daniel enlisted in the Virginia army forces. He was a sergeant in Capt. John Harris’s company in Col. Holt Richardson’s Virginia regiment, then in Capt. John Hunt’s company in Col. James Innis’s Virginia Regiment, and from April/May, 1781, an orderly sergeant in Capt. John Miller’s company in Col. Reuben Lindsay’s Virginia Regiment. He was in the Battle of Jamestown and the siege of Yorktown. His total service was 12 months. As a result of his wartime experience, he was sometimes known as “tough” Daniel.
He was first listed in the Albemarle personal property tax list in 1782 (the earliest surviving list) with no slaves and 2 horses and in 1795, the last year before his move to Madison County, Tennessee, with 3 slaves and 3 horses. He first appeared in the Madison County tax list in 1796 with 124 acres, 4 slaves and 4 horses. He settled first on Muddy Creek, and later acquired lands on Otter Creek, Silver Creek, and in Montgomery County. His taxable lands in Madison County increased over the following years to 525 acres in 1817. By 1831, the year before his death, when he was 70, his land had diminished to 153 acres on Muddy Creek. He died August 29, 1832. In his will, he left his estate for the benefit of his second wife with the possibility that if any of her children should leave home, part of their inheritance could be advanced to them with the consent of the executors. Because he felt he had done as much for his first children as he could, he left nothing to them. He appointed as executors his sons Washington and Leland and his friend, Archibald Woods Jr.
Margaret was awarded a pension of $60/year for Daniel’s Revolutionary War service in September, 1853, and a bounty land allotment of 160 acres in 1855.

Daniel volunteered for 12 months of millitia service early in September, 1776, under Bernice Brown to guard several Tories and 40 or 50 military prisoners. He was discharged after 5 or 6 months. In February, 1777, he enlisted for three years in the Continental Forces, but when his parents objected, he found a substitute to take his place. During 1777 and 1778, he was twice drafted into the militia for two 2-month tours,but he hired John & William Maupin to take his place. Next, in the latter part of May 1781, he was called up and served for 2 months. He entered militia service again for three months during which he was employed in making light horse saddles, halters, wagon gear. He applied for a veterans pension (file S 5733) in October, 1832 and was awarded a pension of $23.33 annually commencing March 4, 1831 and last paid in 1837.
He was listed in the Albemarle personal property tax rolls from 1782 (earliest available) through 1837, and in 1838 the entry changed to Daniel Maupin’s estate. His prosperity increased over the years, during which he was charged with 1-9 slaves and 1-12 horses. In the 1810 census for Albemarle County, he had eight children, in 1820, ten children, and in 1830, four children.
In 1834, he and Hannah gave the ground for the Mount Moriah Meeting

Dorothea ( Dolley) Payne was born to John and Mary (Coles) Payne May 20, 1768, in the New Garden Quaker Settlement in Guilford County, North Carolina.

About 1769, her family moved back to Hanover County, Virginia, where they rejoined the Cedar Creek Meeting. Her father was an active member and became clerk of the meeting. In 1779, Dolley’s brother Walter moved to Philadelphia and in 1782, John decided to move the family to Philadelphia.
In January, 1790, Dolley married John Todd, a Quaker lawyer in Philadelphia. They had two sons, John Payne, whose first name was later dropped, and William Temple. In August 1793, a yellow fever epidemic killed John Todd and his son, William Temple, leaving Dolley to raise her son Payne. James Madison was a Virginia representatve to Congress, which met in Philadelphia until 1800. In the course of the city’s social activities, Dolley and James became acquainted. According to some evidence, it was Aaron Burr, a college friend of James, who made the first formal introduction in May, 1794. An intensive courtship followed and by August, Dolley accepted his proposal. They were married September 15, 1794. In 1797, after eight years in the House of Representatives, James retired from politics and retuned to Montpelier, his family’s esate in Orange County. In 1800, Thomas Jefferson, newly elected president, appointed James Secretary of State. James with Dolley, her son Payne, and her sister Anna moved to Washington. In 1808, James was elected president and served two terms from 1809 to 1817. Dolley entertained extensively, adding to her husband’s popularity.

The War of 1812 began officially on June 18, 1812, after President Madison signed the declaration of war passed by Congress. In August, 1814, the British forces in Chesapeake Bay made a brief invasion of Washington duriing which they destroyed the Capitol and other public buildings, forcing a brief evacuation of the city by Dolley and many other citizens who soon returned after the danger was over.
After the end of his presidential term in 1817, James and Dolley returned to their Montpelier farm in Orange County, Virginia. By popular request, James became a delegate to the Virginia Constitutional Convention of 1829-1830. Although he would never favor giving slaves the right to vote, he advocated strongly for the inclusion of slaves in the population numbers that determined the distribution of legislative seats among the counties. The proposal failed because of opposition from the western counties that would lose a quarter of their seats.

In 1830, Dolley’s son Payne, who never settled into an occupation, was sent to debtors’ prison in Philadelphia, which forced James and Dolley to sell some Kentucky land and morgage half of Montpelier to pay his debts. James died June 28, 1836. Dolley spent the next year copying and organizing James’ papers. In the fall of 1837, Dolley moved to Washington, leaving Payne to run the farm at which he failed. She tried to sell her collection of James’ papers without success and sold the Montpelier farm and remaining slaves. For a time, she lived in absolute poverty and friends sent her baskets of provisions. Finally, in 1848, the House of Representatives purchased James’ papers for $25.000. Dorothea (Dolley) Payne Madison died the next year on July 12, 1849.

Dorothea Dandridge Christian was born to William and Ann (Henry) Christian June 5, 1785 in Botetourt County, Virginia.
She married Dr. James Fishback April 10, 1802, in Shelby County, Kentucky. They had no children. He was born February 4 1776 in Culpeper County. After taking college classes at Transyvania Seminary and a school in Woodford County from 1793-1796, he decided to study medicine. During 1799 and 1800, he atended lectures on medicine in Philadephia, after which he returned to Virginia and practiced medicine until October, 1801. He then moved to Kentucky, where he continued to practice medicine and became professor of the theory and practice of medicine in Transylvania University in 1805. For some reason, he resigned the appointment the next year. In 1810, he became disenchanted with medicine and studied and practiced law until the end of 1816 in Lexington, Fayette County. At the same time, he joined the Presbyterian Church and his interests bcame more absorbed with theological questions, such as infant vs. adult baptism. In 1816, he became a licensed Baptist preacher and was ordained to the Presbyterian ministry in 1817. From 1818 to 1823, he served several Lexington churches, some Presbyterian and some Baptist. From 1824 to 1841, he was pastor of the Mount Vernon Baptist Church in Woodford Co., KY. His wife, Dorothea, died September 17, 1840, and he remarried to Mrs. Susan H. Shelby McKinney, a daughter of Gov. Isaac Shelby of KY, June 8, 1841. He died June 26, 1845, and Susan died January 13, 1868, both in Lexington, Kentucky.

Dorothea “Dolly” Coles Winston was born to Isaac Winston III and Lucy (Coles) Winston August 18, 1785 in Hanover County, Virginia.

He was still living there in 1850, when he was listed as a farmer with land valued at $20,000 and living with his children, Winston (Isaac). 26, Elizabeth, 22, and Alexander, 21, all of whom were born in Alabama. Jonathan died after 1850. In the 1860 census, Elizabeth and Alexander were still living in Lauderdale County.

Dorothy Dabney was the fourth child of Cornelius Dabney I and the first child of his second wife, Susannah. According to one estimate, she was probably born about 1680 in the part of New Kent County that is now Hanover County.
She was married to Capt. William Anderson of King William County between June, 1699, and April, 1701. In 1701, they received a land patent for 179.5 acres in King Wiliam County, recently formed from Pamunkey Neck, previously part of King and Queen County. The patent adjoined three patents awarded at the same time to her half-brothers James and George Dabney and her half-sister Sarah (Dabney) Winston . The patents were awarded because their deceased father, Cornelius Dabney, had a lease or leases in Pamunkey Neck (later King William County) for 600 or 700 acres from the Pamunkey tribe before his death in 1694.
Dorothy and William had at least eight children. Their eldest son was William, who was living in 1720 when his mother deeded two slaves to him and in 1722 when his grandmother Susanna Dabney Anderson included him in her will, but died before reaching full majority. His brother, Dabney Anderson reached adulthood and died about 1734/35. There were six daughters: Elizabeth, Susannah, Sarah, Mary, Judith, and Ann, concerning whom nothing has been found by this writer.
William Anderson’s activities in King William County included service as a witness for deeds in 1704 and 1707. On June 20, 1707, he bought a half-acre lot in the recently surveyed village of Delaware Town (now West Point at the southern end of King William County). He was appointed Justice of the Peace in 1710 and sheriff in 1711 and 1712. He died in 1716/17. A copy of the inventory and appraisement of his estate made June 25. 1719 was filed in Louisa County Chancery Suit 1804-006 available in the Library of Virginia’s Chancery Record Index.
Dorothy remarried to James Trice Jr., probably of neighboring Caroline County, between 1720 and 1722. His father may have been the James Trice who received a land grant of 226 acres in 1673 in New Kent County and was charged with 350 acres in the 1704 Quit Rent Roll in King and Queen County, but in both cases probably in the area that later became Caroline County.

Elizabeth Carr was born to John and Barbara (Overton) Carr December 25, 1747 at Bear Castle, a large farm in Louisa County, Virginia.
She married Nathaniel Anderson of Albemarle County August 10, 1767, in Louisa County. He was born in September, 1742, to David and Elizabeth (Mills) Anderson, who moved from Hanover County to Albemarle County. Their other children were: William, David, Richard, Thomas, Ann, Samuel, Sarah, Edmund, Matthew, and Elizabeth. Nathaniel and Elizabeth had three children: William of Orange County, Overton of the City of Richmond, and Mary (Polly). William married Sarah Elizabeth Minor December 24/26, 1793, and died September 22, 1822. She was a daughter of Dabney Minor (1749-1794) and Ann Anderson of Orange County. William and Sarah Elizabeth had four children: Dabney Minor, Overton Carr, Mary P., and Martha, all mentioned in Sarah Elizabeth’s 1833 will. William was listed in the Orange County personal property tax lists from 1803 to 1819 and Sarah was listed in 1820. William died in 1822. Nathaniel’s second son, Overton, who never married, was a merchant and shipping broker in Richmond according to his advertisements in Richmond newspapers. He died November 19, 1809, at the home of his sister, Mary, and her husband, Samuel Mosby, in Hanover County. In his will, he left $4,000 and two small pieces of land to William’s two sons, Dabney Minor Anderson and Overton Carr Anderson, for their education. Mary (Polly) Anderson married Samuel Mosby in Henrico County in 1794.
Elizabeth (Carr) Anderson died April 2, 1779 and Nathaniel remarried to Sally (__) in December, 1787. She was not the Sally Jones who married a different Nathaniel Anderson of Caroline County. Nathaniel and Sally had one child, Nathaniel Jr., probably born about 1788/89, who married Sarah Elizabeth Minor, a daughter of Dabney Minor (1749-1799) and Ann Anderson.
In the August 10, 1776, issue of the Virginia Gazette, a Nathaniel Anderson advertised New Bath in Louisa County, a resort with curative waters. In August, 1789, Nathaniel and his brother David advertised in the Virginia Gazette & Weekly Advertiser in Richmond that persons indebted to Henry Martin, a merchant of London, should pay them or their agents to avoid suits, indicating that Nathaniel was active in business and suggesting that he may have had legal training. Nathaniel was an executor for the will of his father, David Anderson, which was dated October 3, 1789, and proved in September, 1791.
Nathaniel’s farm was named Asylum. He was listed in the Albemarle personal property tax lists from 1783 through 1811, after which his entry changed to Nathaniel Anderson estate. He was charged with about 10-17 slaves and 3-9 horses. In the 1810 census, he and Sarah were over 45 with one male 10-15, two females 10-15 and 16-25, and 21 slaves.
Nathaniel Sr. died January 26, 1812. His will was dated April 29, 1811 and proved December 7, 1812. He listed three tracts that totalled 6,238 acres in Patrick, Grayson, and Buckingham Counties to be sold if necessary to cover his debts and any other claims, indicating that he speculated in real estate to some extent. Parts not sold were left to his daughter, Mary (Anderson) Mosby and an unnamed daughter of his son William. To William, who was probably already provided for, he left a desk and bookcase purchased from the estate of John Carr, William’s grandfather. A daughter-in-law, Elizabeth Lawrence, was left a slave. He lent to his wife Sarah all of the remainder of his personal and real property, which was probably considerable but indeterminate because of the loss of Albemarle land tax records. After her death, all of the property lent to her to go to their son, Nathaniel Anderson Jr. In February, 1713,Christopher Hudson, one of the executors, advertised in the Richmond Enquirer that persons having claims against or debts to the estate of Nathaniel Anderson should settle them soon.
There was a contemporaneous Nathaniel Anderson in Hanover County whose three years of service as a lieutenant in the Revolution was mistakenly attributed to Nathaniel Anderson of Albemarle County by William Pope Anderson in his detailed and otherwise reliable history, Anderson Family Records (Cincinnati, OH: author, 1936). On January 12,1784, Nathaniel of Hanover County received warrant 2235 for 2,667 acres of bounty land, part of which he sold in 1787 and the rest in 1795. After the War, he kept a store for a while in Hanover Town and was listed in the personal property tax rolls from 1785 through 1796, then moved to Caroline County, where he was listed from 1795 through 1798. He married Sally Jones, a daughter of Col. Thomas Jones, the owner of Spring Garden farm in Hanover County. He died in 1799 and Sallie remarried to William Anderson of Caroline County with whom she had four children. She died in 1840, and in 1850, the administrator of her estate applied for and received payment of her children’s shares of the pension that was due to Sally for Nathaniel’s military service.
