Son of Thomas Collins Maupin & Anna Reid (Wallace) Maupin
Husband of Zerilda H (McKinney) Maupin, married Jan 16, 1849 in Howard Co, MO
They lived in Columbia MO until 1850. When they went across the plains to California and settled in Solano County, and afterwards moved to Contra Costa County, where he and three of his children were burned to death by the house in which they were living and at the time asleep, taking fire in the night, the lower part being consumed almost before waking, wife and one child (a son) were rescued. Several years afterwards the son (Alexander) was run over by a railroad train and killed.
Sidney Maupin was once a merchant of Columbia MO. He was educated as a physician, but never liked the profession. When he lost his life in the fire, he had just finished a very nice house for his family near Mt Diablo, CA. He was a highly educated man, quite talented, and a high Mason.
His mother said of him, "He was a true Wallace."
