  • Notes 
    • Frances (Fanny) Dabney was born to Cornelius Dabney II and Sarah (Jennings) Dabney in Hanover County, Virginia.
      She married John Maupin, a son of Daniel Maupin Sr. of Albemarle County, in Hanover County. They had thirteen children: Sarah, who married William Jarman; Daniel, known as “ saddler Daniel,” married 1st Martha Jarman, 2nd Patsy Gentry, 3rd Hannah (Jameson) Harris; Cornelius, served in the militia but not quite long enough to be awarded a pension , married 1st Mourning Harris, 2nd Nancy Tomlinson, 3rd Mary Paul, and 4th Mary Ellis; William, m. Jane Jameson; Thomas, married 1st Judith Cobb and 2nd Peggy Maupin; John, married Sally Crossthwaite or Craig; Frances (Fannie), married William Shelton August 15, 1783 in Albemarle County; Gabriel, married Susanna Bailey; Robert married Mary McGhee; Jennings, married Sally Miller and remained in Virginia; Carr, married Nancy or Jane Burch; Dabney, died young; Margaret, born February 1, 1767, married in 1785 to John Harris, later a judge in the Madison County Circuit Court, died in 1858.
      In September, 1758, John and his brothers Daniel and William were in a company of 83 militia men called up to defend Albemarle and neighboring Augusta Counties against Indian attacks. Frances’s mother, Sarah (Jennings) Dabney, came to live with John and Frances after the death of her husband, Cornelius, in Hanover County about 1764/65 and lived to an advanced age. John was listed in the Albemarle personal property tax lists from 1782 (the earliest surviving list) through 1806 with 6-8 slaves and 5-7 horses during his later years.
      John died in 1806 in Albemarle County. In his will, he gave his daughters, Sarah Jarman and Fanny Shelton, £40 plus interest from the dates of their marriages. He made a similar gift to Margaret Harris, but with a deduction for a slave previously given her. To his granddaughter, Fanny Dabney Maupin, daughter of his son Daniel, he left a four year old bay mare. Since his wife Frances was already deceased, he ordered that the rest of his estate should be sold and the proceeds divided among his twelve children and his granddaughter Patsey Dabney Maupin. The will was signed August 24, 1806 and proved October 6, 1806. He did not mention his wife, Frances, in the will, indicating that she was already deceased. [1, 2, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14]
