Re: Thomas Upton

kristiecornett — 2009-03-24 13:50:16Z

Thomas Upton Jr. died unmarried. See history below by a son of Fleming Cobb and note that Thomas Upton Jr. divided his estate among his siblings when he died in 1794.

The Peytona Herald, Peytona, Boone county, West Va May 31, June 14, 21 and 28, 1894

EARLY SETTLERS The Trials and Troubles They Encountered While Exploring The Wilds of What is Now Boone, Kanawha and Mason Counties (By Thomas Upton Cobbs)

In the Herald of November 30, 1893, I saw something said about Fleming Cobbs. I will now, at this late date, tell you something about him, some other pioneers of this part of the country, and, also concerning the origin of the name of certain creeks, and etc..

Fleming Cobbs was born in Buckingham county, Virginia, near the Court-house. The date I do not know. His mother died when he was small. When he arrived to the age of fifteen years he enlisted as a soldier in the revolutionary war and served ninety days. He was a substitute for a man by the name of McIntosh. When the war was closed he came home.

Fleming's father's name was Thomas Cobbs. He was an Englishman. He married a second time, so when Fleming came home he and his stepmother disagreed. He met Thomas Upton at his father's home. Mr. Upton was a surveyor and an old bachelor. He had received a land warrant from Governor Dunmore previous to the revolutionary war. Governor Dunmore was the last colonial governor of Virginia. This land warrant was, presumably, for services in the Indian Wars. He (Upton) went and spent a winter at old Fort Donald, on Muddy creek, in Greenbrier county, now West Virginia and from there moved further west to Lewis' fort at Point Pleasant, where he had to pass another winter. Indian hostilities were plenty, in which he participated.

He laid his warrant on the South side of Kanawha river, two miles below Charles Clendenen's fort, where the city of Charleston now stands. he died and was buried in a hollow walnut log within the confines of the fort. In those days the early pioneers had no coffins to bury their dead in and had to dig the graves with clapboards, and when William Goshorn dug the basement of his fine house he threw the hollow log out with Thomas Upton's bones in it. The log was sound as a dollar.

When Upton had laid his warrant he went back east to Thomas Cobbs', who was his brother-in-law, Cobbs having married Upton's sister for his first wife.............

Re: Thomas Upton

kristiecornett — 2009-03-23 13:58:38Z

I'm confused about this supposed 2nd wife named Martha?

Mary Heritage Upton outlived Thomas Upton.
Thomas Upton died in 1745
his wife Mary died in 1775 Buckingham

Children:

Thomas Upton (moved to Kanawha County)
Mrs. Rebecca Upton Thomas Couch (died in Buckingham County)
Rachael Upton
Nancy Upton
Joseph Upton

"Lenard Ballow Junr, John Childers & Willimington Harris to appraise the
esate of Thomas Upton dec'd.
25 Jul 1745"

"Attachment of William Cabell, Gent. against William Sherlock, sheriff returned attachment, executed by James Freeland and Mary Upton the garnishees who made oath that they had no effects of said Sherlock, plaintiffs ordered dismist. Last Will and Testement of Thomas Upton deceased proved by Wilmington Harris ordered to be recorded. Mary Upton, executrix named, took oath and certificate is granted for obtaining probate and she enters into bond with William Cabell, Gent., Lenard Ballow Jr., John Childers, and Wilmington Harris, or any two of these, ordered to appraisethe personal estate of Thomas Upton deceased."

There are many deeds in Albemarle County referencing Widow Mary Upton. Mary Upton also appears in various Almebarle Court records over the next few years after the death of Thomas.

Her son Thomas Upton came to Kanawha County and died "an old bachelor" according to the early histories of Kanawha. He left a Will dividing his fortune to his siblings and their children.

In the name of God, Amen. I, Thomas Upton, Kanawha County, make this
my last will and testament. I resign my soul to its Creator all humble hopes
of its future happiness as in the disposal of a being infinitely good; also
my body and it is my will that it be buried in a Christian manner.
As touching my worldy affairs wherewith it has pleased God to bless me with,
I hereby appoint my particular friend and nephew Fleming Cobbs, executor of
this my last will and testament. I do will and bequeath to my brother,
Joseph Upton the half of that tract of land lying below Davis Creek which
part he is to have at the lower end. I do will to my nephew Thomas Cobb, son
to Thomas Cobb of Buckingham County, the half of that part of said tract that
lies above Davis Creek.
I do will to Thomas Upton, Joseph Upton, Elia Upton and Elijah Upton, sons
of Joseph Upton, each 200 acres of land of a certain tract of 1400 acres on
Cole River at the Upper Falls. Of the other 600 acres to be equally divided
between India Cobbs and Mapprin (?), daughters to Thomas Cobb, Rebeckah
Thomas, daughter to Rebeckah Couch.
I do hereby will to Marah Toler, daughter to Thomas Cobb, my negro woman
named Tillah together with her increase. I do will to Rebeckah Thomas, my
negro woman named Nan together with her child. I do will to Nancy Cobb,
daughter to Thomas Cobb, my negro woman named Pallis. I do will to my
brother Joseph Upton, my sorrel mare and bay mare colt and about 30 pounds of
feathers at James Jabbins (?) and 8 hogs now in the island and my big barrow
and one of my young (illegible) and my rifle.

2 January 1794
Signed: Thomas Upton

Searching For Thurman Frederick Upton

Ayla195682 — 2009-04-07 17:33:50Z

Hi,
I am searching for my great uncle Thurman Frederick Upton. He would be 90 and I believe he is still alive. Last time my father saw him was about 1996.
He goes by either Rick or Fred Upton. He has 3 children, David Scott and 2 other daughters. It is very important to my family and I that we get ahold of him somehow.
He was last known in 2002 to live in Roseville CA. His wife Olive Clayton passed then. And last we heard he was moving to Auburn or Rocklin CA. We believe he would be in either a care center or living with one of his children.
Thank you.

I have only just started to trace family tree, and was just thinking that we might be tracing the same people. My great grandmother was sarah upton, she married a frank sims who was born in Germany but was a british subject, I know they had a daughter called sarah, not sure when she was born but she was the 4th child to be born. My great grandparents were married in 1875, so it might well be the same. They lived in Aberavon south wales all their married lives. Hope this is of some help. Any infromation you have would be gratefully excepted, email-orders@beejeff.plus.com
Kind regards, B.

It's hard to get farther up than that b/c only his mom's name, Samantha Upton, is on the death cert - no father's name listed. Alford was in the 1880 census living with his "grandmother" Mary Upton in Alabama. Thanks. And I would like that CD, but can't get hold of Pat Hill.
