Probly didn't spell it right... o well.
If you want to tell about your ancestry then say it here. If you don't want to say so or just dont remember then don't.
If you had read my post on where I got my name from you would know I got the name Mappy because of my real last name, which is Mapstone.
The 'Mapstone' family has apparently been around since middevil Britain, and infact it may have been a town. When the colonies in America were formed the Mapstone family did not travel with the many settlers flocking there. Insted they remained until America began the war for Independence, at that point some Mapstones enlisted for the British Royal Infantry, and some were already enlisted. After they enlisted I do not know much more, however my guess is they were with General Cornwallis in the south, fighting in battles towards Cowpens, and the Waxhaws Massacre... Not really a battle but a unpleasent event. The Mapstones did not leave Britain until the 1880's at which point a large quantity moved to Australlia, India Colonies, and the United States of America. After that I cannot tell about all of the Mapstones however 4 fought in WW2, 4 in Vietnam also, and 1 in Korea which happens to by my own father. Nower days the Mapstones are spread out threw New York, Texas, North Carolina, and ever since my family moved to South Carolina... South Carolina.
