  Military Service	According to the biography of his daughter Cecilia (see under her entry), he was a member of the Sumter Greys during the Civil War. This was the name of a Company in the Sumter Regiment, who were Volunteer State Troops for the defense of New Orleans. The Sumter Regiment later, according to Bergeron, "became the nucleus of the 30th Louisiana Infantry Regiment." In Bergeron, "Maupay" is listed as the Commander of Company D of the Sumter Regiment, Sumter Grey's Company A, and at least part of this Company was folded into the 30th. Presumably this is him. No Maupay, however, appears in the Civil War Soldiers and Sailors database. This is probably him, in an entry from Booth: Morphy, D. E., 1st Sergt. Confed. Grds. Regt. La. Mil. Roll for March 8 to April 30, 1862 (only Roll on file), En. New Orleans, La., March 8, 1862, Present. Note: Transfd. by T. O. Moore, Gov. of the State of La., to Maj. Gen. M. Lovell, C. S. A., on March 8, 1862, for local defense of the city of New Orleans, La.  [4, 5]

Obituary, Tiimes Picayune, 7 Aug. 1866, p4: At Enterprise, MIss. Saturday Morning, August 4th, 1866, Mr. Daniel Maupay, from injuries received on the Mobile and Ohio Railroad, July 13th, 1866. His funeral will take place Tuesday afternoon, Aug. 7th, at 5 o'clock from his late residence, NO. 208 Bienville street, near Claiborne.

  Occupation	"seedsman" on the 1850 census
  Died	4 Aug 1866	Enterprise, Clarke Co., Mississippi   [6]
  Buried	There is no record of a burial in the Archdiocesan records.
  Notes	According the census records he moved to NOLA before 1850. He does not appear in the 1842 city Directory, so it was probably after that. According to his obituary in 1866, he had been in the city for twenty years. In the 1850 slave schedules, he owns two women, one aged 45, one age 12. Here is census information about Daniel and Lorenza: 1850 U.S. Census • Louisiana • Orleans • New Orleans, Municipality 1, Ward 2 > Page 65 Dwelling 1167/Family 1177.

Elsewhere we publish the card of E.F. Virgin, No. 104 Gravier St., New Orleans, who succeeds the long and well established house of D. Maupay in the Garden Seed Business." In 26 Jan. 1870, however, an ad appears in the same paper for "Mauphy's [sic] Seed Store" at 76 Gravier St, run by W. A. Maupay. This might be his brother William Augusta, but it's the only indication I've seen that William A. might have been living in New Orleans. [7, 8]
