The 1900 Jackson Co., KY Census denoted that the children's father was born "At Sea".
Dear Members:
I have returned from a freezing Indiana, it was 5 degrees at 6 a.m. there this morning in Brookville before I left.Glad to be back to a warmer Tennessee.
Here is a rare photo of Susan Gabbard and Frank James, Susan being a daughter of Elisha W. Gabbard and Nancy B. Moore, reportedly this Frank according to my Uncle Virgil Lakes, is of the Jesse James fame. This came from my Uncle Virgil Lakes and these were his great grandparents.
My Aunt brought 1 letter he wrote to his son Frank Jr. written from Frankfort Kentucky in 1898. The other letter, she couldn't find before they came to our get together yesterday, was written by Frank to his Daughter Mary Jane James wife of Greenberry Isaacs from prison. She could not remember where the prison was. LOL, I have been promised a copy of this letter as soon as she finds where she put it. My Aunt Faye Hogan Lakes is 74 years old.

3199. Franklin W. Gabbard
My memory of Grandpa Frank was that he never moved out of his rocking chair on the front porch. A dog was always at his feet. He was never dressed in anything but bib overalls. At the time of my memories (my age was about 6 to 8) He weighed about 300 pounds.
I was told he was a good Blacksmith, Carpenter and Farmer. He loved to read the Bible.I'm not sure about his first name...I have a document that indicates it could have been Frances and another from Mr. Wilmer Gabbard that has his first name as Franklin. His middle name could have been Wesley.
His gravestone is inscribed Frank W. Gabbard in the Dale Cemetery in Connersville, Indiana.Dallas Fox, July 1995, Grandson
Beginning of the clan was in the Shenandoah Valley region of Virginia. Our line descends from Henry b. 1768. He married Barbara Hunsucker and lived in Burke County, North Carolina where several children were born. They by the Wilderness trail of Kentucky about 1816 and homesteaded on Indian Creek in what was then Clay County, and now Owsley County, Peter 4th child married Susan Harrison. There were 8 other children.....this ties us into every other Gabbard of the name. One source states 3 Gabbert (or Erlich von Gabbert the original name) came from Germany in the 17th Century and operated a Brewery near Philadelphia. From there they moved our line South to Virginia and North Carolina. This fits in because Henry Gabbard could neither read nor write English. However when Owsley County, was formed he was the only educated man among them so the original petition was draw up by him in German and sent to Frankfort, Kentucky. This is on display at Booneville, County, seat of Owsley County, Evidently Peter and Susan settled in this area because her family owned practically all the land between Brea and Sand Gap, including the whole N.E. part of Jackson County,. The Harrisons did hold hundreds of acres in Madison County, also. Susan Harrison was the daughter of Elisha Sr. and Igha Baker. Elisha Jr. owned all of Brea into Jackson County,. He gave the land where Brea College now stands and was one of the original 8 on the Board of Trustees at the school. He married Delilah Lakes, cousin of William Henry Harrison also cousin of Abraham Lincoln. Attended Lincoln's inauguration. Elisha Sr. settled near McKee on what was later called Elisha's Branch. This is in sight of my mothers place. I don't know where the old house was but was "up the branch" from the highway. He did help build and settle Boonesbourogh before leaving there. A lot of good sources point out "Indian Creek" as the place the Boone and Calloway girls were rescued. This makes sense as Elisha wasn't at the fort but later joined the rescue party. Indian Creek by the way is where my mom was buried. He was the son of Jeremiah or Zebulon Jermiah married Mary???? died 1779 born 1740 came to Kentucky 1792. Zebulon married Margaret Craven Primrose born 1718 Long Island, New York, died 1792. Moved to Sussex County, Delaware 1737. To Augusta County, Virginia later to Rockingham County, Kentucky. I believe Jeremiah (son of Thomas Harrison and Jane Delahaze was his father. Jane Delahaze was French Huguenot.......Transcribed from a letter from my cousin Janet McQueen Lakes 11/20/1982.......Dallas Fox
Franklin and Catherine are second cousins.
Notes for CATERINE FRANCES MAUPIN:
Grandma was a very tall woman and creative. She would hunt ginseng each year in season and she
owned a moonshine still. i was told that each time she had a customer she would disappear into the woods
with her small dog leading the way. She would reappear with the customer's requested "recipe".
Dallas fox, July 1995
grandson"Gabriel Maupin"
BORN
Huguenot, Bas Pyrenees, France
lady Mary or Marie Spencer was the daughter of Lord John Spencer..... Was this Lady Diann's family???? "ha ha"
Gabriel Maupin, noble birth, and forced to leave France in the 17th century to avoid persecution. Whole colonies of these gathered in Virginia and the Carolinas. The Coat of Arms is a unicorn, helmet, shield with three pine cones on red in the background. The red background means valor and the helmet was military rank......Anyway, Gabriel I left France before 1700 and went to England. He married Marie Spencer (lady) of England and had son Gabriel II. The second son Daniel (our line) was born in England before 1700; also, a daughter, Mary, was born there. They came to Yorktown, Virginia in 1700 then to near Williamsberg. The place was known as Maupin's Store, Virginia. They operated a tavern and saddlery, thus, the name Maupin's Store. he was also keeper of the Powder Magazine as was sons Gabriel II and III, the last one during the American Revolution.
John Maupin came to Clay County, before 1810. (cs) They held large amounts of land at one time but for some reason sold it all. They owned the ground where the Manchester Salt Works was later operated and made Huge White and his descendants to this very day very wealthy!!!!. His son Dabney by his 1st wife Frances Dabney married Sally Dennis in 1809 and evidently had several children. John (born 1814) was probably the 1st one to leave Clay County, and come to Jackson County, He was listed in Clay Census in 1850 as 36 years old and our Great Grandpa Enoch as 4 months old. He could have come here with his second wife Betsy...His 1st wife Selvany died when Enoch was very young, maybe in Childbirth. In 1850 this was Clay County, also so it's hard to pinpoint. I believe the old Tavern has been restored and incorporated into Colonial Williamsburg. (John Maupin Shope, 778 Overbrook Avenue, Mansfield, Ohio 45039 furnish most of this information)....She is our cousin, Delbert Maupins daughter. She went to Williamsburg. She also has a copy of a book titled "Maupin Genealogy" which was a limited number in print and I couldn't get a copy, not from the author, publisher or anyone who had a copy!!
Our great, great, great grandmother Harrison was Igha (pronounced Ifa) Baker, daughter of John "Renta" Baker. It would take from now on to cover them.....anyway, he was here (in Kentucky) before Daniel Boone. As Daniel came upon his camp in Estill County, and recorded the incident in his Journal. Same source list him as one of the "Long Hunters" who left North Carolina with Boone and Findley in the 1770's There is a whole colorful chapter in Kentucky history, located mostly in Clay County, Involved in a feud with my Dad's family (Howards) in the 1880's and 90's. James Howard, my uncle, killed one of them and wasn't punished. A few years later he assinated the Govenor (Gobel) of Kentucky and was sent to the pen for this. To the last, grandma and Aunt Lissa thought the word "Baker" was a fighting word. Jess Wilson formally at the Jackson County, RECC pretty well covered most of the Bakers in his books. Jess is a good friend and our local historian. I'm currently trying to locate an Indian (my great, great and 3rd great grandmothers.
You might like to read "Settlers by the Long Grey Trail" I'm not sure of the author, but it covers the Harrisons in the Tidewater Region of Virginia up to their migration to Kentucky. It's Collins History of Kentucky through Deep! Kelly Morgan at Manchester might be able to add information on Maupin girls married Martha Washington's brother Daniel's daughter I believe.
