Conrad Maugans *Nick* Traveled by night because he and another man were both seeking a grant for the same parcel of land. And Conrad walked (which was the mode of traveling at the time) all night on his way to Annapolis, Maryland, to get the grant, and the other man evidently slept at night. Anyway the result was that Conrad Maugans was standing on the steps of the Capitol Building, at Annapolis in the morning with the grant in his pocket when the second man arrived. Hence the nickname.
The wife of Conrad Maugans has not been recorded, it is thought her first name was Anna Rebecca.
Children: Peter Maugans; Magdalina Abigail Maugans, married David Miller, removed to Clermont County, Ohio; Catherine Maugans, married Abraham Miller removed to Clermont County, Ohio; Mathias Maugans, married Mary Frey removed to Clermont County,Ohio; Abraham Maugans, married Elizabeth Frey removed to Washington County, Maryland the founder of Maugansville.
Mary Maugans, married John Frey; John Maugans; Elizabeth Maugans, married Frederick Weaver and removed to Clermont County, Ohio; Gabriel Maugans, married Esther Miller removed to Warren County, Ohio. Note: over time the spelling Gabriel's last name became Morgan; Daniel Maugans, married Susannah removed to Clermont County, Ohio; Barbara Maugans, married John H. Myers; David Maugans, married Catherine Blickinstaff. David remained in Maryland. In 1836 his wife and two daughters removed to Miami County, Ohio. Son John Maugans was already residing in Miami County, Ohio.
A number of the Maugans family members that moved to Ohio spelled the last name Morgan.
