Family Legend

:::Story of Gabriel Maupin (1666-1720)
Manakintown Huguenot Ship ListsIn 1700 and 1701, five ships brought Huguenot refugees from London to Virginia. No ship lists have been found for two of the ships, The Galley of London (came 1700) and The William and Elizabeth (came 1701), neither of which sent passengers directly to Manakintown.The Nassau, received a permit to depart Kensington, England, for Virginia, January 18, 1700 commanded by Capt. Tregian. It arrived March 5, 1701 and went up the York River. Only 23 went on to Manakintown.Passenfers included French Swiss, Genevese, German, and Flemish Hugenots/Protestants.The Nasseau was a ship of five hundred tons. Passengers paid 5 pounds sterling per head for their passage. Passengers above six years of agewere then allowed the following amenities:7 pounds of bread every week, two pieces of pork and peas eachweek, and two pieces of beef and peas per day.Boiled water and cheese were offered if a passenger could not take meats.Children, under the age of 6 were given bread, oatmeal, fruit, sugarand butter as needed.This journey, taking place from December 1700 to March 1701, was reported to have been a very stormy passage. The ship sprung a leak a few days off the coast of Virginia, a result of a violent storm. The ship'spumps were manned in an effort to clear the hold of water, but to no avail. Finally, the crew and passengers were exhausted and gave up thework in despair. The Rev. M. Latane and Gabriel Maupin (both passengers) offered up prayers to the God of the Seas and to amazement the waters ceased to rise in the ship. The pumps were put to work again and soon the ship was freed from water. Crew members were able to apply a temporary patch over the leak and when the ship arrived in the York River an investigation was made. It was discovered that a huge fish was found securely wedged in the broken planks, stopping the flow of water through the hull. This is a legend Maupin family members have handed down over hundreds of years.:The story has been verified and recorded in papers relating to this voyage found in the Bodleian Library in England and the Virginia Historical Library in Virginia
