- [S76] Frank Mapes Ham, Mapes Family of America, page 7 - . THOMAS MAPES (1628-1687). At Southold, Long Island 1650 or perhaps a bit earlier. As far as known he is the ancestor of all the Long Island Mapes families and their descendants in other places. According to the genealogical studies of Judge Jesse S. Mapes, of Otoe County, Nebraska, the name was "Mepps" (pronounced Mapes) and the place of his birth Eberfeldt, Germany. We have not bee.n able to confirm this; THOMAS MAPES was born 1628 and died 1686/1687. In 1650 he married Sarah Purrier who was born 1630 and came to America 1635. The date of her death is not known. They lived the great portion of their lives in Southold, L . I. Their children were: Thomas Mapes, variously called junior or Captain Thomas. He was born 1651 and died Feb. 16, 1711; Rebecca Mapes - born probably 1653 and died before 1687; William Mapes, b. probably 1655 and last mentioned in Southold records in 1717, Date of death probably Apr. 16, 1698; a daughter, not named. Born Nov. 8, 165 7 and died the next day; Abigail Mapes, b.

In so far'as Thomas Mapes was concerned, it is manifestly wrong as he was only 12 years old at that time. This fanciful' statement has been ably discussed bv Rev. Dr. Charles E. Craven in his revision of Rev. Dr. Epher.Whitaker's History of Southold, L.I., pages 49 to 53.
It has been stated, erroneously, that Thomas1 Mapes was son of Francis Mapes of Rollesby, County Norfolk, England, but a record of the latter's unregistered will, as listed In "Sentences in the Prerogative Court of Canterbury.
