  3. [S428] Lester Dunbar Mapes, A Tentative Correction of the Mapes Family Line, page 46 -      Walter Moore, born March 18, 1832, killed Aug. 3, 1883, son of David 'Moore and Phobe King, and grandson of William Moore, above and his second wife Mary Chapman", left papers in his own handwriting to the effect that Silas6 Haynes Mapes (born March 29. 1772) placed by this writer as a grandson of William4 Mapes, Junior, and his wife, Eunice, stated to his nephew, Martin7 Luther Mapes (born June 3, 1788) who he thought were the brothers sisters of Samuel Mapes, Senior, vizs Bethual, William, Henry, Benjamin, David, Thomas and Daniel, and three sisters, one of whom married William Drake, one a Benjamin, and the other unknown to him,(probably Mary above). This statement must have been made prior to Feb. 22, 1857 the date of death of Silas6 Haynes Mapes. which date was long after the birth of Walter Moore who has left the record. Perhaps Silas6 Haynes Mapes was indicating who his grandfather was as Silas6 was son of Samuel5. Senior, and could have known William4 Mapes personally. The dates showing the several lifetimes are as follows: - William4 Mapes "Junior", who married Eunice Loring, 1714 to 1798; Silas6 Haynes Mapes, son of Samuel Mapes, Senior, 1772 to 1857; Martin7 Luther Mapes, nephew of Silas Haynes Mapes, 1788 to 1878; Walter Moore, 1832 to 1883. Martin7 Luther Mapes was living well within the lifetime of Silas6 Haynes Mapes; and Walter Moore within the lifetime of Martin Luther Mapes; page 48 -      Samual5 Mapes 'Senior" - born, per family Bible of his family, Feb. 14, 1735 which, in the failure to state the double year prevailing at that time for the months of January, February and part of March, was evidently intended to be 1735 (36). about nine months after the marriage of William and Eunice. He married Mary Smith. Inasmuch as his line has been well authenticated ...      I place Samual5 Mapes here for reasons stated above; I doubt if he was the son of William3 Mapes and his wife Tabitha. If he was son of Thomas4 Mapes and his wife Hanky, he would probably have been baptized at Tappan. Daniel Mapes has always been considered a brother of Samuel and I find no reason at all for thinking either of them a son of Jonathon Mapes and his third wife Mary Terry as stated by Col. Weygant. Neither of them had a son Jonathan although Samuel had nine sons and Daniel had three. Both of them had a son William and Daniel had a daughter Eunice; it would not be nearly as surprising if it were known that Samuel's son Enos was an attempt made to name a son as possible after William's wife, Eunice, as Samuel only had one daughter, his tenth child named Mary ...      On July 24, 1878, Walter Moore wrote from Otisville, N.Y. to James Bell, grandson of above Henry about the latter's family; his answer was:
    "Henry Mapes (was) brother of Samuel Mapes and grandfather of Jams B. Bell". "Henry Mapes had two sons, William5 and George and five daughters, Amy5, Milly, Abbey, Keziah and Hannah; owned the Runno Farm".
