Abstract
This article focused on identifying the divergence between Youwei(右衛) Ma"s family grave stone and Sanggu(Sanggok; 上谷) Ma"s family genealogy. Recently, three successive discoveries have been made at Sanxi(山西) Youyuxian(右玉縣) Youweizhen(右衛鎭); Ma Fu(麻富) & wife Wang(王)"s grave stone, Ma Gui(麻貴) & wife Shen(沈)"s grave stone, and Ma Chengxun(麻承訓)"s grave stone. They were transferred and preserved in Youyu Sahukou museum(殺虎口博物館). These grave stones, are useful to figure out the people and their works of the Ma"s family from Huihui(回回), who played an active part in border area in the mid-to-late Ming Dynasty for generation to generation. Korean Sanggu Ma’s family are known to be the descendant of the General(提督) Ma Gui, who had been dispatched to Joseon, in charge of the Ming North and South militias(明南北兵) during Jeongyu War(丁酉再亂). When comparing the ancestral records of Sanggu Ma"s family genealogy with Youwei Ma"s family grave stone, there is a considerable gap. There are many problems as the details are different or not visible in Youwei Ma"s family grave stone, including family tree of Ma Gui(麻貴) -- Ma Chengen(麻承恩) -- Ma Yan(麻巖) -- Ma Shunshang(麻舜裳), the birth and death of the Ma Gui, the existence of Ma Yan"s wife Dong(佟), and the name Ma Shunshang(麻舜裳) itself as the ancestors who came to Korea.
