   Deaths. Died, on the 2d inst., Dr. James W. Upshaw, of Caroline County, Va., aged about 60 years.  His death is very much regretted by his friends and acquaintances.  In losing Dr. Upshaw, they sustained a very great loss, not only as a physician, but as a physician, but as a kind neighbor and a benevolent and hospitable man - his liberality to the poor overpowered the length of his purse.  He has left behind four children; one of them is grown, and able to steer his course through this unfriendly world - the remainder of them are very young, but fortunately for them, they have fallen into the hands of a kind grandfather.  Dr. Upshaw had been a member of the Baptist Church for many years.

1. Capt. Samuel C. (Crockett) Upshaw, Counselor at Law. According to Bacon the greatest trust between man and man is the trust of giving counsel, and in the profession of law the most brilliant talents, most extensive knowledge and the strongest sentiments - moral and spiritual and material - are brought into play, and it's power for good or evil is vast and invincible. Capt. Upshaw is an Attorney of far more than ordinary ability, and is in the active practice of his profession at Hillsboro, Texas.
   He was born in Little Rock, Arkansas, Jan. 31, 1840, a son of Col. A. M. M. Upshaw, a native of Essex County, Virginia, who moved to middle Tennessee when a young man, from which state he volunteered in the Indian War of 1836, serving against the Seminoles in Florida, after which he was appointed agent for the Chickasaws by Van Buren and assisted in moving this Tribe to the country it now occupies. He remained agent in charge of this Tribe for ten years, at which time he came to Texas, settling in Washington County, which he afterwards represented in the Texas legislature two terms, and was a prominent citizen of the County until his death, which occurred in 1877. His wife was Ann H. Crockett - a native of Williamson County, Tenn., but she is now a resident of Houston, Texas, and has reached the advanced age of 87 years. This lady was his second wife and became the mother of the subject of this sketch.

   Deaths. Died, on the 2d inst., Dr. James W. Upshaw, of Caroline County, Va., aged about 60 years.  His death is very much regretted by his friends and acquaintances.  In losing Dr. Upshaw, they sustained a very great loss, not only as a physician, but as a physician, but as a kind neighbor and a benevolent and hospitable man - his liberality to the poor overpowered the length of his purse.  He has left behind four children; one of them is grown, and able to steer his course through this unfriendly world - the remainder of them are very young, but fortunately for them, they have fallen into the hands of a kind grandfather.  Dr. Upshaw had been a member of the Baptist Church for many years.

SECONDARY SOURCES:

1. "Hang 'em First, Try'em Later": "As the only law west of the Pecos", Judge Roy Bean practiced a legendary -- and outrageous -- brand of frontier justice", by Bruce Watson.
   page 102: "Many of Bean's rulings were amusing, but there's nothing fun about getting away with murder. Or getting your son off for murder. Sam Bean was the youngest and wildest of Roy's five children. One day in the saloon, a certain Mr. George Upshaw made fun of Sam's fine Mexican blanket. The two men argued, and Upshaw slapped Sam in the face, drawing blood. Roy said simply, "Shoot him, Sam -- shoot him." Obeying his father, Sam blew the man away. For the next year, Roy corralled witnesses and promised favors. In a Del Rio courtroom in 1899, Sam Bean was acquitted. The verdict, a Langtry old-timer remembered, cost Roy "many a bottle of beer" and nearly all the money he'd managed to save." (Source: "Smithsonian" (magazine), June 1998, Vol. 29, #3, page 96).

2. Mr. George Upshaw had a store in Langtry and he also was a rancher. He was like most of the men around Langtry .in those days in that he occasionally spent some time in Roy Bean's saloon. I don't think he was a heavy drinker, but anyway, he was in Roy Bean's saloon drinking one morning with some railroad men and Roy Bean's son Sam was there, too.
   It seems like Sam had a Mexican blanket and Mr. Upshaw made fun of it. Anyway, they got in such a hot argument that, and I know this is a fact, old man Upshaw slapped Sam in the face and made his nose bleed. Directly, Mr. Upshaw picked up a Winchester, I suppose it might have been the judge's, he always kept one there. Anyway, Mr. Upshaw held the rifle and Sam's nose quit bleeding. Of course, while all this was going on the old judge was there in the saloon watching it all. 
   Sam and Mr. Upshaw talked there for a while and then they came out on the porch and he said to Sam, "I guess if I give you your gun back you will shoot me."
   I don't know how long he stood there, but Mr. Upshaw handed Sam the gun and then went on down the steps leading off the porch. There were four or five steps and Mr. Upshaw walked briskly down the steps and started home. He got nearly to the railroad and Sam shot him in the back, right between the shoulder blades. Old man Upshaw turned around and he said, "Sam, don't shoot me anymore. You have give me a dead shot."
   Old Judge Roy had been the real cause of it. As Upshaw started off he said, "Shoot him, Sam - shoot him." After Sam shot Mr. Upshaw,, the old judge said, "Shoot him again." Mrs. Upshaw and other people there said that if it hadn't been for old Roy Bean that Sam never would have killed Mr. Upshaw. Old Judge was the cause of every bit of it. 
   Mr. Upshaw and several others rushed there and Mr. Upshaw was laying on one of the tracks, and he said, "Oh, Sam shot me. I begged him not to shoot me the second time, but he did anyway." They picked Mr. Upshaw up and put him on a cot and carried him down to his house, but he died right away.
   Judge Bean ate at Mrs. Dodd's boardinghouse most of the time, and one day about a year after Sam had killed Mr. Upshaw, the judge went down to Mrs. Dodd's to eat. Mrs. Upshaw was working for Mrs. Dodd as a cook and Roy Bean saw her in the kitchen and said, "Who is that cooking in there?"
   Mrs. Dodd said, "Mrs. Upshaw."
   Roy Bean shoved his plate back, got up and got his hat, and left. Somebody asked Bean what was the matter, and he said he was afraid Mrs. Upshaw might try to poison him (footnote 15).
   Sam Bean was the youngest of the five Bean children and was the wildest of the bunch. He was often in trouble, but his father usually figured out some way to keep Sam cleared of the charges. After Sam killed George Upshaw, many Langtry folks figured that Roy Bean would not be able to get his son cleared of such a serious offense. But they underestimated the Law West of the Pecos. Sam Bean was acquitted at a trial held at Del Rio in 1899, but old-timers say it took most of Roy Bean's time for several months and all of his money to swing the verdict. Mrs. Farley told me:
   It cost the judge an awful lot, but Sam got out of killing old man Upshaw. I think some of the men swore about Mr. Upshaw slapping Sam in the face and making his nose bleed. That was all against old man Upshaw. They didn't have any witnesses for old man Upshaw. Nobody would testify. All that bunch there testified for Sam. It cost the old man many a bottle of beer. Sam came just as clear as a whistle of that, because Judge Roy Bean had lots of friends. (footnote 16).

1. Information from Tom Upshaw, Animas, NM. (in 1980s).

2. Information from Charlie Upshaw, Winkleman, AZ. (in 1980s).

3. Cara Rae, in a 1998 memo to the Upshaw mail list, states "I visited Langtry, Texas, in March 1998 to "see where it all happened". I visited George Roane Upshaw's grave and found the lot where the Upshaw house once stood. The house next door to it is still standing and once was home to Charles Upshaw, G.R.'s son. As for Judge Roy bean's infamous "Jersey Lilly" saloon, the one that's there now is not the original. The original Jersey Lilly was burned to the ground after Sam Bean was acquitted of murdering George Roane Upshaw. There's been some speculation that "the Upshaw boys" did it in retaliation for their father's murder - knowing the family, it could be true."

26. 1878, 1 May, obituary: 
      Died - At his home in Walton County, Ga., on May 1st, 1878, Deacon Tinsley Upshaw, aged 82 years lacking one month and 3 days. Our aged brother has been a Baptist fifty three years, served the church many years as Clerk, and was baptized in the same county in which he died. In the division which took place between the Old and New School Baptists, our aged brother was led off into the ranks of the latter for a few years, but was never satisfied, and came back, lived devotedly, and was useful to the brotherhood generally. Our brother had been married three times, all his wives being Old School Baptists, and all his children who have a hope in Christ are united to the same church. He left thirteen living children, all being present at his burial but one. He lived to see his eighteenth child grown, and there were at his burial sixty-one of his descendants present. His death was very sudden, hence he was not allowed to speak in reference to it in his last moments. He had been having, awhile before his death, several attacks of something like apoplexy or paralysis. About fifteen minutes before he died he told his wife that he was going to have another one of those bad spells, and died without ever speaking again. Our brother’s life and conversation leave no grounds to doubt but that he is now sleeping in Jesus.
      May the Lord mercifully sustain our aged sister, the widow, and all his children and relatives, under this dispensation of his providence, and may it be sanctified  to their good as well as to the large circle of friends and the brotherhood generally.

SECONDARY SOURCES:

1.  Information by Cora Lou (Upshaw) Herndon (granddaughter of Forrest Tinsley Upshaw); Miscellaneous letters to Grace E. Jared. (originals in possession of Ted Brooke, Jan 1998).

2.  The first Upshaws (spelled by some relatives as Upshur) to settle in Walton County made their homes in the First District near Mt. Paron Church four miles from Social Circle. On May 31, 1822, Richard Upshaw bought land from Edmund Elder in that district, acquiring 100 acres for $300. On Oct. 22, 1824, Adkins Upshaw bought 250 acres in the First District for $200.  On Oct. 18, 1828, Adkins Upshaw deeded 135 acres in the First District to his brother, Tinsley Upshaw, for $120. 
   Tinsley Upshaw bought 250 acres Oct. 19, 1840 from Allen Chandler at $500. It lay in the Fourth District where Tinsley Upshaw and family moved after Tinsley sold his land in the First District. He also bought adjoining lands and continued his residence there throughout his life. He was 27 when he married Martha Phillips at Lexington in Oglethorpe County. He and his wife and her parents came to Walton and lived a number of years in Social Circle. Tinsley was a soldier in the War of 1812, but served only three months. Born in Elbert County, he enlisted there. Following service in 1814, he went to school in Lexington and boarded with his uncle, Richard Upshaw, whose wife was the former Rebecca Elder. Tinsley Upshaw was then for sometime a teacher in country schools. He and his wives were members of Mt. Paron and later Social Circle Baptist churches in the First District. In 1837, Tinsley and Francis Byrd Upshaw are listed as members of the then-new Baptist church in Social Circle.
   The first record book of Mt. Paron Church was lost by a church clerk. Consequently, records are missing prior to 1880. In 1852, the Sardis Church records show that Tinsley Upshaw and his wife Frances joined there on confession of faith. The Baptists had been divided since the “Schism” occurring at an associational meeting in 1832 in Eatonton.
   After the death of Tinsley Upshaw’s first wife in 1829 or 1830, he married Frances Byrd in Walton County Sept. 26, 1831.
   Children of Tinsley and Martha Phillips Upshaw were Emily, who married Elbert Ivey; Elizabeth, who married Preston Rutherford; and John Phillips, who married Mrs. Mary Stark Selman, widow of John Selman.

5. Forrest Tinsley Upshaw. Fifth in the Upshaw line was Forrest Tinsley Upshaw of Georgia. He was born in Elbert County, June 1, 1796, when George Washington was President of the United States., He lived in Oglethorpe County after the War of 1812, in which he served, having enlisted in 1814, when he was 18 years old. Many years later, the Daughters of the War of 1812 placed a marker at his grave sight (sic) on the property he had owned in Walton County.
   Since he was a well educated man, he was sought out constantly to read or to write documents, witness various  papers, etc. People would come for miles around to get his advice., Forrest Tinsley was always called Tinsley and after a few years stopped using  the "Forrest". He signed his will simply Tinsley Upshaw, but his granddaughter, Frances Upshaw Barrett, remembers the family Bible and recalls his name written in a flowing hand "Forrest Tinsley Upshaw". Frances's father was Tinsley's youngest child, Preston Calhoun Upshaw. Tinsley was married three times and had eighteen children.
   After the War of 1812, he went to lexington in Oglethorpe Countye he finished his education and taught in country schools for a time.When his uncle, Richard Upshaw and his wife, the former Rebecca Elser, moved to Lexington, he lived with them. He was married to Martha Phillips in Lexington, 1823. They may have lived in Oglethorpe County for a while, but their son, John Phillips Upshaw, was born 28 December 1826, in Walton County, as were two daughters, Emily F. and Susan A. Upshaw. 
   When he and Martha removed to Walton, her parents went with them. Richard Upshaw, his uncle, and his brothers, Adkins and Hasten, also lived in Walton County in the late 1820s. In 1828, on October 18, Adkins deeded 135 acres in the 1st District to his brother, Tinsley, for $120.00. In a few years, Tinsley was the only Upshaw of the older generation remaining in Walton County. He moved to the 4th District of Walton, ca. 1852, and spent the rest of his life there. He had been a member of the Mt. Paran Baptist Church, then moved his membership to the Social Circle Baptist Church, since it was closer to his home which was about four miles from the town limits. Later, when he and his family removed to the 4th District, he was a member of the Sardis Church.
   The record of Forrest Tinsley Upshaw's first marriage is fouind in Oglethorpe County Marriage Records, p. 148, (also this marriage is recorded on p. 205, Historical Collection of D.A.R. Vol. II (or V) 1949 John T. Hancock).

8. 1855, 15 Nov: Morgan Co., Ga. October 22, 1855. Brother Beebe: According to the request of my dear brother, Tinsley Upshaw, I forward you the following obituary notice of the death of his wife, Frances Upshaw, for publication. Sister Upshaw was the daughter of Robert Bird and Mary Bird, formerly Mary Giles, of Wilkes Co., Ga. She was married on the 25th of September, 1831 and united shortly after with the church at Mount Paron, Walton Co., and was baptized by Elder William Lacy. Some time after removal she became a member of the church at Sardis, in the same county  where she remained a pious, respected and orderly member till her death, which occurred on the 6th day of September last after a short but painful illness, as she died the sixth day after her delivery of her seventh child. We have every reason to believe her to have been one of the best of mothers, and indulgent mistress, and most agreeable companion, but she is gone and left nine children (one of them only six days old), her dear companion with many other friends and relatives to mourn their irreparable loss. The little church at Sardis can but mourn their great bereavement. James W. Walker. (Source: The Southern Baptist Messenger, issue of 15 November 1855, Vol. 5 no. 22).

DOCUMENTATION & NOTES:

1. James "Little Jimmie" Upshaw drowned when he was 3 years old; source unknown.

SECONDARY SOURCE:

1. XIV. James Upshaw, born ca. 1852, was called Jimmie and drowned when about three years old and was buried in the family burial plot on Tinsley's property near Social Circle. His mother, Frances (Byrd) Upshaw, was so upset that Tinsley sold the farm and bought property near Sardis Church on the road from Monroe to Atlanta near the community of Between, in Walton County. The new owner of the farm near Social Circle promised to keep up the small graveyard and perhaps he did. Frances was expecting another baby and would not consider naming him - if it were a boy - "James", as Tinsley wished. They compromised by naming the baby "James Berrien" but calling him Berrien.

9. 1887, 4 June: Obituary of Judith M. Upshaw:
   In Memory of Sister Judith M. Upshaw; from records of Sardis Primitive Baptist Church.
   Sister Judith M. Upshaw departed this life June 4th, 1887 at age 66 years, three months and twenty five days. Sister Upshaw was the widow of our much esteemed Deacon Tinsley Upshaw who departed this life 9 years ago, May 1, 1878.  She was formerly Miss Judith England.
   Sister Upshaw died of cholera Infantum. In preparing these expressions, we are like we have been in former cases in speaking of loved ones who have been taken from our midst, therefore we feel a loss of language to express our high esteem and love we felt for Sister Upshaw discouraged us in the attempt to write. Suffice it to say that some of us have known Sister Upshaw as far back as our memory serves us, which is almost a half century, and among the many fault finders through our land and country, through her day and age of the world, not the first fault have we heard uttered or chargable (sic) to her. What a comforting thought to be placed in memory of one we loved so well.
   Sister Upshaw leaves three children and seven step-children to mourn their loss,but we feel that our loss is her Eternal gain. So we bow in humble submission to the Will of God, who works all things after the counsel of His own will. In closing this we wish to tender to her children, stepchildren and grandchildren our deep and heartfelt sympathy.
   Memorial Committee, G. Durden, L,O, Brooks, J.C. Robertson.
   (Notice - We have been told this Memorial was written by a dear friend and church sister, Mrs. John S. (Josephine) Dickinson. Elder M.F. Hurst was Church Pastor, and I think was present to conduct funeral services.)

SECONDARY SOURCES:

1. Forrest Tinsley Upshaw was left with a five day old son, James Berrien, when Frances (Byrd) Upshaw, his second wife, died 6 September 1855. His daughter, Mary, kept the baby until Tinsley remarried. his third wife, Judith M. England was born 7 February 1821, according to her obituary. 
   Mrs. Brumley Pritchett has tried to trace the Englands and made some progress through Mr. Gunter England who told her that Lucy N. England was married to James S. O'Kelley on 21 July 1845, Walton Co., Ga. He suggested Gordon County as a starter. Mrs. Pritchett found in the 1850 Gordon County census enumerated 7 Dec. 1850, the following from the 12th Division, pp. 52, 53:
   Dwelling #599, Family #602: James Shelnut, b. S.C., age 48, farmer. Household: Jane Shelnut, female, age 20, b. Ga.; Mary Ann England, age 22.
   Dwelling #600, Family #603: J.S. O'Kelley, age 26, male, farmer, b. Ga., Household: Lucy, age 23, female, b. Ga.; Sarah, age 4, female, b. Ga.; Charles, age 2, male, b. Ga.; James R., age 1, male, b. Ga.; Judith M. England, age 27, female, b. Ga.
   From this source, we can calculate the approximate years of birth of the four England sisters:
   1. Judith Margaret, the oldest, b. 1823 (see her obituary which reports her age as 66 years in 1887). One of the Walton County censuses, after she was married to Tinsley Upshaw, refers to her as Margaret.
   2. Lucy, b. 1827, wife of J.S. O'Kelley.
   3, Mary Ann, b. 1828, wife of ________ Blackwell.
   4. Jane, b. 1830, wife of James Shelnut.
   We know from this information, that there were at least four daughters in the England family - There were two Englands in the Cass County (Later Bartow) census of 1840: Abner England and Jonathan England, but so far these have not been tied in with our Judith Margaret.
   Jane Shelnut and Mary Blackwell lived with Tinsley's youngest child - the eighteenth - Preston Calhoun Upshaw, for several years. They had been widowed and were considered elderly by that time. Preston Calhoun and his wife Lena were married 19 Dec. 1888; they cared for these aunts until their death.
   Children of Forrest Tinsley and Judith (England) Upshaw:
   Judith and Tinsley had three sons: Henry Clay Upshaw, Harrison Filmore Upshaw, and Preston Calhoun Upshaw.

8. 1860, 29 Oct: letter from J.H. Curry of Brush Valley, Bienville Parish, LA, to his sister-in-law, Amanda M. Cox of Walnut Creek, LA (note: this letter was printed in the "Upshaw Family Journal", vol. II page 47 & includes the following, which may be in reference to Tabitha (Lawless) Upshaw, although it could be in reference to Ann (Faulkner) Upshaw):
   "Manda, old Mrs. Upshaw is dead. She died 22 of October."
   (note: This reference to "Old Mrs. Upshaw" is interesting - Tabitha (Lawless) Upshaw would've been only about 60 years old in 1860 and not exactly what most people would call "old"; could this have possibly been in reference to Ann (Faulkner) Upshaw, wife of Forrester, who is thought to have died in Louisiana while visiting a son (according to Cora Lou Herndon), although no reference to her or Forrester has ever been found in Louisiana? Ann (Faulkner) Upshaw would've been about 85-90 years old in 1860, which sounds more like "Old Mrs. Upshaw"). If we knew how old J.H. Curry was when he wrote this in 1860, we would know his reference point for stating "Old Mrs. Upshaw"; it would make a large difference in his reference point whether he were a teenager or middle aged when he refers to someone as "old".

Haston Upshaw and Clarecy Whitsell had the following children:

	520	i.	(Haston, son of) Upshaw was born in 1818–1820 in Madison Co, Georgia. He appeared in the census in 1840 in Walton Co, Georgia. He was living in 1840. (Haston, was buried at an unknown cemetery. NOTES:

3. 1840 census, Walton Co, GA (Circle Dist), page 117: (Household of Hasting (sic) Upshaw):  1 male 20-30

COMMENTS: 

1. There is conjecture that "John R. Upshaw" was this unidentified son, which is due mainly to the comment by William D. Upshaw in his book "Echoes From a Recluse", page 453, in which he refers to "My Uncle, John R. Upshaw (now of Marble Valley, Shelby Co., Ala.)". IfApparently, this was an unfortunate use of words, as there is no evidence to support this relationship.  The John R. Upshaw, born in 1830 and married Eliza F. Stamps in Coweta Co, GA, was the son of Adkin Upshaw, who later left his will in Carroll Co, GA, and named a son "John R. Upshaw". If "Eliza F. Stamps" & Adeline ("Addie") Stamps were sisters, John R. Upshaw would've been the uncle of William D. Upshaw by marriage. This John R. Upshaw did later live in Shelby Co, AL, died there 6 June 1898 and his widow, Eliza F. (Stamps) Upshaw, drew a Confederate Widow's pension.  I believe I have seen tombstone inscriptions for them somewhere but cannot now locate them. There is no John R. Upshaw found in the Haston Upshaw estate papers as an heir or otherwise, although all the other children are.  The unidentified male child, born 1818-1820, is not found in these papers either, but he could have died between 1840 and 1849.

	+521	ii.	George F. Upshaw, born 1821, Madison Co, Georgia; married Frances E. Edwards, 19 Aug 1842, Walton Co, Georgia; died 1858–1860, Meriwether Co, Georgia.

Haston Upshaw and Rhoda Oglesby were married on 3 Aug 1823 in Elbert Co, Georgia. Rhoda Oglesby, daughter of George Oglesby and Elizabeth (Mrs. George) Oglesby, was born in 1806 in Georgia?. She appeared in the census in 1830 in Elbert Co, Georgia. She appeared in the census in 1840 in Walton Co, Georgia. Rhoda died on 19 Aug 1847 at the age of 41 in Coweta Co, Georgia. She was buried at an unknown cemetery in Coweta Co, Georgia.

2. 1850 census, Coweta Co, GA, page 359, dwelling #1068 (household of Martha Colley):  Sarah E. Upshaw, age 1.

3. 1851, 13 Jan: Mary Upshaw petitions the court on behalf of her daughter, "Sarah E.F. Upshaw", stating that she is the orphan child of Haston Upshaw and should benefit from his estate (Coweta Co. Minutes Book C, page 53). Mary Upshaw was appointed guardian of Sarah E.F. Upshaw, 13 Jan 1851. (Coweta Co. Guardian Bonds book B, page 154). The 1850 Coweta Co. census (dwelling #1068) shows a "Sarah Upshaw", age 1, with Mary Upshaw; as there was some question as to the child's property right, Sarah was likely born after Haston's death. Sarah E. F. Upshaw was obviously the (only) daughter of Haston's third wife, Mary (Brooks) Upshaw (married 21 July 1848, Coweta Co.).

   Mr. Adkin Upshaw died at his home near here, on last Tuesday, in the 85th year of his age. The deceased was well and favorably known throughout this county where he has lived since 1865.
  "Uncle Adkin", as he was familarily called, was born in Virginia but moved to Georgia when he was about 8 years of age. (TOB note: this is obviously in reference to the fact that his father Forrester was living in Pendleton District, South Carolina, in 1805 & 1806 and moved to Georgia about 1809). When about 35 years of age, he moved to Coweta (County) where his family was raised.  In 1863 he moved to Heard County and in 1865 to this County to the place where he died.
   The deceased was one of the leading members of the Primitive Baptist
Church, in the faith of which he died. To the many relatives and friends in the County we extend our condolence.

44. 1885, 16 Oct: "Carroll County Times": Obituary.
   Died, at his residence near Carrollton Sept. 22nd 1885, Adkin Upshaw, aged 84 yrs., 5 months, and 3 days.
   He was born in Virginia, April 19th 1801. Moved to Georgia in 1809. Joined the Primitive Baptist Church at the age, 25. Lived a consistent member till death.
   In the days of his strength, he had heard the preaching of Mosely, Henderson and others who had so successfully filled the pulpits of Georgia and so forcibly taught the doctrines of his Church.
   Brought up under their teaching, it is not a matter of wonder, that he should have remained so firmly fixed in his faith. When Brother Upshaw joined the Church by the preaching of the Gospel wise men were made wiser, and bad men were made better. It was a time when the world was forced to acknowledge the divine power of the Gospel.
   In the latter part of his life he, especially, devoted himself to the reading and study of the Bible. It was his comfort in this life and hope for the world to come. Quiescat in Pace. A Friend.

COMMENTS: 

1. I have no proof that Richard Manary was the father of Edward; it is thought by some researchers, including Linda Teichman, that "Ignacious" & "Horseshoe Mary" Manary were his parents; more research is needed in Charles City Co, MD.

2. It is uncertain whether the correct spelling of this surname is "Manary" or "Manery"; can someone clarify?

   At first I believed Andrew Wright Torbert was son of William Torbet and Rachel Wright. I still do not have enough proof but other researchers believe he was a son of Samuel Torbert, Jr., and Rachel Wright.
   Samuel and Rachel may never have come to Tennessee but three of their children came to Monroe and McMinn Co. in the early 1830s. Their children are: 1. Samuel Cherry (24 Oct 1789 Ga-22 Aug 1855) Thomaston, Upson, Ga.) m. Mary; 2. John (27 Dec 1791 Abbeyville(sic), SC-7 Jan 1882 McM. Co. Tn.) m. Sarah then Elizabeth. 3. James (31 Jul. 1794 SC-1869 Macon,Al), m. Catherine I. Smith; 4. Rachel (1796 SC-1837)m. Alexander Rider, both are buried Sink Cem., Tellico Plains, Monroe Co, Tn.; Andrew Wright (1801 SC-14 Feb 1871) buried Madisonville City cem., Madisonville, Tn. m ca. 1830 Monroe Co., Tn., or Ga. to Nancy Upshaw (1806 Ga.-1896) the dau. of William(sic) Upshaw and Ann Forkner, and is buried with Andrew; 6. Lemuel (1802 SC-Jul. 1868 Upson, Ga.) m. Martha C. Glanton; 7. George Thompson (26 Oct 1803 SC-19 Dec 1865 Ga), m. in Oglethorpe, Ga. to Anna Hardeman; 8. Benjamin Franklin (3 May 1809 Pendleton Dist, SC-16 Mar 1896 Greensboro,Greene Co., Ga) m. ca 1833 Butts Co, Ga, to Mary E. McCoy.
   First land records show Andrew Wright Torbert in 1834 at Madisonville Court House. I have not found him in the 1830 census. Their home stood where Lowry's store is or, rather, was. He carried mail between Madisonville and Sweetwater, Monroe Co., Tn. Sent to me was the original deed of 1862 when Andrew gave Negro slave to his daughter Minerva Peck. For Andrew and Nancy no marriage record has been found. Their children are: 1. Emily Josephine (27 Oct 1831-12 May 1904)m. ca 1847 to Lewis Hunt, both buried Madisonville City Cemetery; 2. Minerva Ann (24 Mar 1833-18 Nov 1866) m. 28 June 1858 to Joseph Alexander Peck, both buried Sink Cemetery, Tellico Plains, Monroe Co., Tn.; 3. Sarah E. (22 Jun 1836-11 Oct 1874) Loudon Co, Tn., and buried Madisonville City Cemetery, m. Col. Wesley C.P. Jones. (submitted by: Katrina Jean Semones, 3rd great granddaughter of Andrew W.

In accordance with Resolutions adopted by New Hope Church, on the 2nd Saturday in August 1883, in Conference, the undersigned, who were appointed a committee to prepare a memorial of the facts connected with the life and history of our deceased brother, Middleton Upshaw, with a suitable expression of the appreciation of his many virtues, have proceeded with their duties … Middleton Upshaw was born December 1st, 1813 (sic); was married in 1833 to Susannah Berry, who crossed over to the goodly land long years before … He joined the Baptist Church at White Oak Grove in Coweta County, Georgia, in 1834, and was baptized by Rev. Henderson. He was married the second time in 1860, this last wife, and who survives him, was a Mrs. Margaret A. Dorden (sic).

SECONDARY SOURCES:

1. Personal knowledge of Mr. W. Roy Upshaw, Waco, Texas, from his father, Leroy C. Upshaw.

2. VIII. Middleton Upshaw (5th generation from Capt. William Upshaw, Sr.), b. 1816 in Elbert County. We know little about this Middleton Upshaw, but he also is listed in the 1850 Meriwether Co. census as living in dwelling #418, 34 years old. A large family was listed giving "Forrester" as the name of his second male child. (Source: Sophie W. Upshaw, "Captain William Upshaw, Gent. Planter of Virginia and Allied Families" (Baltimore, MD: Genealogical Publishing Co., 1975), page 32).

COMMENTS:

1. Middleton Upshaw had no military service record or pension for any military service.

2. Lived in Tallapoosa Co, AL, from 1860s to 1883 (need to research Tallapoosa Co, AL, deeds for exact dates).

3. Need to search 1883 newspapers and the New Hope Baptist Church minutes (if they survive) for a possible obituary of him which may contain more biographical information.

4. The only other possibility for the father of Middleton, other than Forrester Upshaw, is Richard Upshaw Sr., son of Leroy Upshaw (RS). Richard Upshaw Sr. had a male under 10 years old in his household in 1820 Elbert Co., page 162. Also, in 1830 Walton Co, GA, census, page 158, Richard Upshaw has 1 male born 1815-1820. Richard Upshaw Sr. evidently died in Walton Co., GA, between 1830 & 1840, although no estate or other evidence of his death has been found.

17. 1850-1860: Peter Dobbs is supposed to have remarried; Have Alabama marriages been searched for this? Amelia then lived in Jefferson Co, AL, with her daughter Adaline (see 1860 & 1870 censuses below); Amelia was blind late in life, perhaps from cataracts.

18. 1860 Census, Jefferson Co, AL (July 1860), #731:  Wm. M. Lawson, age 30, born S.C.; Adlina Lawson, age 26, female, born Ala; Albert A.

21. 1887:  Adaline (Dobbs) Lawson was buried at Old Blue Creek Church cemetery in Bessemer, Jefferson Co, AL.  There is an unmarked grave next to hers which is perhaps the grave of Amelia (Upshaw) Dobbs.

22. Family tradition is that Amelia died as a result of being kicked by a cow she was milking when the rest of the family was away, as she could barely see, probably resulting from cataracts.  This was told to Mr. Joe Mathis, Waller, TX (desc of Amelia) by his grandfather John Franklin Dobbs.

ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:

1. Peter Dobbs:  He has no military service in the War of 1812 or Indian Wars.  When Peter Dobbs remarried between 1850 & 1860, who was that to, when & where?  Are there any clues about Amelia in that situation?  What about Peter's late life - where & when did he die?  Dis he leave a will or estate record?  Is there an obituary for him?  There is no War of 1812 pension application found for Peter or Amelia/Milly Dobbs.

COMMENTS:

1. It is not certain that Mary ("Polly") Upshaw is daughter of Parson Upshaw; it is only circumstantial at this point, as Parson was the only Upshaw of the correct age to be her father, who was in the immediate area of Blount County, although we have never found Parson actually in Blount County, Tennessee about 1820. We only know that he was in Roane Co, TN, shortly before 1811. Additional research is underway either to locate some mention of Parson in Blount Co. in 1819-1821, or to find obituary for Mary (Upshaw) Starr which might give more information.

   (pages 42-49): My Maternal Grandfather.
   I have always found my grandfather Upshaw's name written simply George W. Upshaw. This was true on his two marriage licenses, his legal permit to practice medicine in the state of Illinois, his record in the family Bible, and various Federal Census records. One time, on an ancient record, I found it written George Augustis - but there were many errors in the record, so it must have been one of them. 
   (note: the lineage given in this source is incorrect; George Augustus Upshaw was the son of Edwin Upshaw, not George W. Upshaw; George W. & Parson were in Jackson Co, IL, together circa 1829; George W. consistantly gave his birthplace as Georgia on the 1850, 1860 & 1870 censuses, and George A. consistently gave his birthplace as Virginia and even specified "Essex County, Virginia" in his Mexican War discharge paper)
   His birth date was hard to determine.  On his first marriage record to Mary Malinda Greenwood at Shawneetown [it] is not given. On his second marriage record to my Grandmother Elizabeth Denby at Peoria, Illinois, on Nov. 13, 1848, he states age unknown, which probably accounts for all the different dates of his birth on record.
   The Jackson County, Ill. Federal Census records of  1830, gives his birth from 1800 to 1810. The 1850 census records of Peoria, Ill.  states he was born in 1805. ,I did not find his census records for 1860,  but the 1870 Federal Census records of Cerro Gordo, Ill. give the year as 1801. 
   After his death, Grandmother Elizabeth wrote in the family Bible, "Dr. George W. Upshaw died on the 3'd of  September 1875 in his 75th year."
   In 1961, I had a tombstone put on his grave in the old Cerro Gordo, Ill. cemetery and gave his birth year as 1802-1805. However, since then,  I was sent an aged ledger  sheet by a cousin, Mrs. Mary Rumsey of Oklahoma City, Okla., which was written by some descendant (name not given) of her grandmother, Mary Ann Upshaw Blake, sister of Dr. George Upshaw, in which his birth was given as August 20, 1802. This I believe to be correct. This date was accepted on my D.A.R. record.
   Finding the state of his birth  was not easy, either. His eldest son, Francis Marion (Frank) Upshaw, left the record that his father was born in Mississippi. His second son, George Washington Upshaw Jr., gave it as Tennessee. His son, Thomas, didn't know. His Census record gave his birthplace as Georgia, so it was to Georgia I went first for records. (Editor's note: Dr. George W. Upshaw consistently and conclusively gave Georgia as his birthplace on all three - 1850, 1860 & 1870 - censuses).
   There were Upshaws in Elbert County, Georgia, as early as 1790, when "Le Roy Upshaw, self and 15 in family" settled there. Le Roy appears to have been the son of Forrest and Ann (Hunt) Upshaw.
   I spent over 10 years tracing every Upshaw in Georgia. They left plenty of historical records, wills and census records, and land grants to prove my grandfather was not born in Georgia and that he was not a descendant of Forrester Upshaw. In 1802 he couldn't have been born in Tennessee or Mississippi either. There was really not much of any Mississippi in 1802, certainly no records as it wasn't even a state then.
   I traced the Upshaws in Giles County, Tennessee carefully, as they were the descendants of Jeremiah Upshaw (brother of Forrester) of Virginia.  In fact, I traced the  entire State of Tennessee for him, with no results whatsoever.
   But I did find my maternal grandfather, George Upshaw, in Virginia. After he left Virginia in 1819 or 1820, it seems reasonable to suppose  he spent some time in Giles County, Tennessee with Upshaw relatives. But I think that most of his time was spent in Elbert County, Georgia living with numerous relatives, descendants of his great uncle Forrester Upshaw.
   The proud spirit of Grandfather Upshaw evidently never recovered from his trouble with his stepmother so he evidently chose Georgia as his home state. The only record I have of Dr. George W. Upshaw leaving his Virginia home was written by his niece Alice Upshaw Blake (Mrs. J.D. Baker).  daughter of his sister, Mary Ann, in her memoirs she writes:
   "My grandfather (Edwin Upshaw) was a member of the Virginia Assembly  for a number of years ...  He remained a widower for 8 years after my grandmother (Lucy Roane) died; he finally remarried, so he would leave the children with the stepmother while in Richmond. Now the stepmother had a "mammy" who was almost white, while the "mammy" to the first lot of children was very black. Well, one day my Uncle George, who was a lad of 18, came home and found the stepmother's "mammy" whipping the black "mammy", which aroused a furious anger in him. He jumped off his horse, took the whip from "mammy" No. 2, and proceeded to chastise her. He whipped her severely. Then the stepmother called the overseer to whip Uncle George. They had a fight, and when it was over Uncle George jumped on his horse and left home, never to return. When my grandfather (Edwin Upshaw) heard of it, his first thought was to find him ... but he could not prevail on him to return to Virginia."
   Forming an opinion 142 years later, it would indicate  that the lad had a fierce maternal love for the Negro mammy who raised him, and this strong emotion may have made his punishment of the offending negro a little too severe.
   But the master of the house, alone, was responsible for the behavior of his slaves, and as eldest son in his father's absence, George was the master.
   Neither the stepmother or the overseer had any authority to punish him. The fact that his stepmother did  make this attempt, indicates past conflicts.
   It was a soul shattering insult to the pride of a young southern gentleman. The spirit of many generations of challenge meeting Upshaws, and the blood of the turbulent politically minded Roanes, flowed strongly in his veins. He was the descendent of men who had fought and died,  when necessary, for their integrity and it left [a] deep emotional scar on his life.
   Mama told me her father was a man of mild temperment, except when aroused by an injustice. Then he was absolutely independent and fearless in his defense of the right.  The above incident shows this characteristic. 
   He was fiercely opposed to slavery, not because their Negroes were mistreated. In his world he maintained they were like spoilt indulged children. He said "mixing the races and bringing mulatto children into the world was its biggest curse."
   So the wound went deep and Grandfather George, as far as I could find out, never discussed his life in Virginia with even his own household.
   As Edwin's son he was well educated, probably by private tutors. He was also a student by nature, and mother said he debated a long time on whether to practice law or medicine.
   I have a feeling he was self-taught in medicine, for I have never been able to find out where, how or when he received a medical education, although I have contacted  every available source in many states. From some things my mother told me, he did practice some in Georgia and Tennessee before he came to Illinois. Really it didn't take much preparation to be an M.D. over 100 years ago. Drugs were few, and things like cherry tree bark, tansey and senna had to be collected and prepared by the physician. Mama said her father boiled these herbs and also made bread pills by hand for his patients.
   The first authentic history I have of Grandfather Upshaw after he left Virginia , picks him up some five or six years later at Shawneetown (named after the Shawnee Indians) in Gallatin County, Illinois.
   Here, on January 16, 1825,  he married "small, beautiful and dainty" (from family records) Mary Malinda Greenwood. This marriage record was destroyed by the floods of Shawneetown, but can be found at the Illinois Historical Library, Springfield, in a record compiled by Lucy Bender.
   I have not traced the ancestry of Mary Malinda Greenwood. But Greenwoods lived in King & Queen County, Va. not far from George Upshaws boyhood home. Also we find the Forrest Upshaw line married into the Greenwood family in Elbert County, Georgia, where Grandfather lived when he left Virginia. Richard Upshaw, a cousin, married Elizabeth Bradley (See will, Elbert Co., Ga., 1805 of William Bradley). (Editor's note: It was Leroy Upshaw who married Elizabeth Bradley in 1769, Bedford Co, Va.) Elizabeth Bradley Upshaw had two daughters, Nancy and Martha Upshaw, who married Greenwoods and were mentioned in their grandfather's will. Either could have been the mother of Mary Malinda Greenwood. Also, in [on] Aug. 16, 1803, the Elbert Co., Ga., will of Webb Kidd, who was in some way related to the Jeremiah Upshaw line, mentions his granddaughter "Polly" Greenwood (mother, Lucy Greenwood). This Polly could well have been Mary Malinda Greenwood,grandfather's first wife. So it seems likely that Grandfather George held to family tradition s and also married one of his cousins.
   I found many Greenwoods and a Parson and James Upshaw living in Gallatin County. In 1825, Illinois was only seven years old and Shawneetown's first settlers boasted many of the finest families of the south and east.
   Gen LaFayette visited Shawneetown on May 14, 1825. It is reasonable to suppose that on that day George and his wife, M. Malinda, stood in the double line of welcome, extending from the boat where the distinguished party landed, upon a calico covered path strewn with flowers to Rawling's Tavern. There was a salute of 24 guns, and a reception and dinner  following. Names of the attendants  have not been preserved, but family tradition would imply that George Upshaw and his bride were honored guests.
   Federal Census records show Grandfather residing in Jackson County, Illinois in 1830, and gives his family, besides his wife, as two daughters. In August, 1830, he was an unsuccessful candidate for County Commissioner.
   Their eldest child was Narcissa Ann, born May 5, 1826. [She] married May 4, 1843 William L. Loomis, Ohio, born May 13, 1821. I find them living in Peoria, Illinois (where they no doubt were married) in the Federal Census of 1850, also I find her father and his family. The book "Loomis Family in America" 1908 gives the following list of  William Loomis and Narcissa Upshaws nine children:
a) Edgar F., born June 11, 1844, D. Feb. 5, 1848, Peoria.
b) Luella N. (Narcissa) born Dec. 10, 1846; m. June 8,  1865, Elizah Lewis.
c) Frank P., born Feb. 10, 1849.
d) Edward L., born Feb. 1, 1851.
e) Ida E., born Feb. 1, 1853; m. Mch. 2, 1871, Henry Swinhart.
f) William L. (Loomis), born Feb. 3, 1855.
g) Lyman U. (Upshaw), born Aug. 2, 1857.
h) Jesse, born Mch. 4, 1860, D. June 1860.
i) Blanche, born Feb. 26, 1861.
   Sometime after 1850, this Loomis family moved to Abilene, Kansas, then to New York some say, but I have not verified he latter location. I have given much research to this family, but while I found Loomis relatives who helped me find their record in "The Loomis family in America" 1903, I have never been able to contact  any of their descendents., who of course are all descendents of Dr. George W. Upshaw.
   George and Mary Malinda Upshaw's second child was Melissa Jane, born Feb. 7, 1828. In November 1851, she married Charles Loomis, a brother of her sister Narcissa's husband. Charles was born Feb. 5, 1826, died June 6, 1856 at Peoria, Illinois. They had one child, Mary Malinda, (Melie) born Sept. 12, 1852, died 1877, married  John Rogers, no issue.
   Melissa Jane (Upshaw) Loomis married 2nd, Grover. No issue.
   I have been told by a member of the family who knew them, that both Narcissa and Melissa were beautiful women and looked like the Upshaws.
   George and Mary Malinda Upshaw also had three sons, namely: Francis Marion (Frank), George Washington, and Thomas Jefferson, of whom more later.
   It seems Mary Malinda Greenwood Upshaw died in 1846 or 1847, but all early tombstones have been destroyed in Peoria and no record is left.
   On November 12, 1848, Peoria, Ill. (Book 1, page 151) the marriage record of George W. Upshaw, age unknown, and Elizabeth Denbigh (Denby)  28 years. John Chandler, M.G (Methodist Presiding Elder) is recorded. This marriage date is also copied in the Family Bible which is in possession of their son, John Upshaw descendents.
   My grandparents, George and Elizabeth had 7 children and they buried 5 of them. Only my mother and her brother, John were left. (this John's descendents are the ones who own the family Bible.)
   This Upshaw Bible gives their family births and deaths written in many different handwritings as follows:
1) James Bengemin (sic), B. March 19, 1849, D. September 5, 1851.
2) Emma Frances, B. August 13, 1851, M. Joseph Ross Liken, Oct. 10, 1868, D. March 9, 1870.
3) Katie Denby, B. Nov. 14, 1854, D. Feb. 2, 1870.
4) Joshephine Eva, B. Sept. 3, 1857, D. July 18, 1910. (This is my mother, her name was mispelled and written in a different handwriting. Her date of birth was written  1858, then erased and made 1857, (which is correct). She married Adam P. Heminger, Dec. 24, 1877.
5) John Wesley, B. October 7, 1859, M. Ella V. Ogle, Aug. 9, 1883. D. March 31, 1942, at McPherson, Kansas.
6) Ida Virginia, B. March 27, 1862, D. November 12, 1862.
7) William Loomis, B. September 12, 1863, D. June 6, 1870.
   My mother and her brother, John always gave their birthplace as Jerseyville, Ill. Mama said her father owned  and operated a general store there  and that on the day of her birth, Sept. 3, her half brothers, George and Thomas, were sent to this store and instructed  to select a set of dishes for the family, to keep them out of the way during the birth of their new sister. (She was probably delivered  by her father). I have one plate of this set yet. It is white stoneware type and there is an odd figured and lettered trade mark and the indented words " T & R Boore, Syndenham, Shape I. However, I have visited Jerseyville, read its old histories, looked up county records, seen Federal Census records and have found absolutely no record to show the Upshaws ever lived in Jerseyville. But the above locality was given on mother's and her brother's death records. (Editor's note: see 1860 Federal census, Stark Co, Illinois, West Jersey township, page 77, 4 June 1860, where family of G.W. Upshaw is enumerated).
   Mama said her father, besides being a storekeeper, fitted glasses and did dental work. She said he was a poor businessman, and lost his business by signing a  note for a relative. It would indicate he inherited some money and lost it.     

2. Note written by Grace Jared on undated family group sheet:
"During these ten years (1830-1840) there may have been a number (about 5) of births & deaths (of children) as I have been told my grandfather had a total of 17 children by his two wives".

NOTES:

1. For a photograph of George W. Upshaw, see Grace Jared, "They Met Challenges ... With Memoirs", Grace Jared, Ann Arbor, MI, 1968, page 68.)

COMMENTS: 

1. His middle name was likely "Washington", although I don't believe it has ever been proven. There is a possibility that his son, George W. Upshaw Jr. may have spelled his middle name out, with "Jr.", which would be proof of "Washington".

2. No reference to (any) Upshaw in the following Gallatin Co, IL, published records: "Gallatin County, Illinois Will Record I. November 1814-January 1847"; "Gallatin County, Illinois Court Records 1813-1820" & "Early Gallatin County, Illinois Probates Vol. 1".

George W. Upshaw M.D. and Mary Melinda Greenwood were married on 16 Jan 1825 in Shawneetown, Gallatin Co, Illinois. Mary Melinda Greenwood, daughter of James Greenwood and (James, wife of) Greenwood, was born in 1805–1810 in Elbert Co, Georgia. She appeared in the census in 1820 in Gallatin Co, Illinois. She lived in Gallatin Co, Illinois in 1826. Mary appeared in the census in 1830 in Jackson Co, Illinois. She appeared in the census in 1840 in Peoria Co, Illinois. She died in 1844–1848 at the age of 39 in Peoria? Co, Illinois. Mary was buried at an unknown cemetery in Peoria? Co, Illinois. 

DOCUMENTATION & NOTES:

1. Mary Melinda Greenwood was circumstantially a daughter of James Greenwood as she was married in 1825 in Gallatin Co, Illinois, where James Greenwood is the only Greenwood in the 1820 census. No estate or probate records have yet been found for James Greenwood identifying his heirs.

7. Notes from descendant Robert Upshaw in March 2008, 4204 Stonehaven Way, Fredericksburg, VA, 22408:  
      There is undocumented information that Mary Malinda Greenwood was a child of James Greenwood, who they say was born in Buckingham Co., Virginia, in 1785, son of John W. Greenwood, Jr., born 9 Aug 1747 in Middlesex Co., Virginia and Anna Bates, born 1741 in New Kent Co., Virginia. They say that James Greenwood was a brother of George C. Greenwood who married Martha Upshaw and lived next door to Parson Upshaw and his family in 1820 (census) Montgomery Co., Tennessee. This would lend credibility to the assumption that Mary Malinda Greenwood and George W. Upshaw would have known each other in Tennessee before Parson moved his family to Illinois. It would also help explain why Mary Malinda (Greenwood) Upshaw traveled from Peoria, Illinois to Tennessee where she had family, to have her first two children. Travel that far in those days for a pregnant woman would not have been easy. They have no information about James Greenwood's wife, so that is still a dead end and Mary Malinda's mother could have been Indian, making Mary Malinda a halfblood but, because her son Thomas Jefferson Upshaw repeatedly insisted that he was half Indian, the possibility exists that Mary Malinda was a fullblood, adopted by James Greenwood and whoever his wife was. If she also was an Indian that would have made it easy for her to know of and adopt a fullblood child, or perhaps Mary Malinda was her child before she married James Greenwood.
   (Additional notes by RWU, February 2011): 
   I do not know why Thomas Jefferson Upshaw's birth state would be shown as "Tennessee" in the 1870 census, because it is shown as "Illinois" in all other references that I have seen. We know that Mary Malinda (Greenwood) Upshaw returned to HER family (?) in Tennessee for the birth of her first three children, i.e., Francis Marion, Narcissa and Melissa, so perhaps that is where the confusion occurred. I have run into Greenwood researchers who show she was the daughter (or at least in the family of) a James Greenwood, son of John W. Greenwood, Jr., (1747-1796) and Anna Bates. But they have had no more success than I have had in tracing Mary Melinda's mother. Since T.J. Upshaw claimed she was a full-blood Indian,  my theory remains that James Greenwood adopted her. If James were actually her father, that would make her a "half-blood" and TJU "one-fourth".

Upshaw, age unknown. However, Grandma Denby Upshaw herself wrote her name as Denby in the Family Bible (printed in 1848) which I have personally seen and copied carefully.

She married my grandfather Dr. George W. Upshaw at peoria, November 13, 1848. They had seven children, of whom more later. 
   When I had a marker put on grandmother, Elizabeth Denby Upshaw's grave, i gave the year of her birth as 1820, taking it from her marriage certificate. But other records have not agreeds, the 1850 Federal Census record gives her birth year as 1821, I have not found her 1860 census records,  but the 1870 Census records her birth in 1825,  and the 1880 ones, give the year 1818.  Then, on her death record of 1882, the year is given as 1824.  It seems, in spite of all rthese conflicting data,  the year 1820 should be correct.

        Richard Upshaw, born 1780-1790 (this is evidently Richard "Sr.")
        one unknown male, born 1815-1820
        one female, born 1800-1810 (this could have been Rebecca (Elder) Upshaw, as Richard Upshaw Jr. was gone, as he did not report his own taxes in 1831)

Richard Upshaw Jr. and Rebecca Elder were married on 27 Feb 1820 in Elbert Co, Georgia. Rebecca Elder, daughter of Edmund? Elder and (wife of Edmund) Elder, was born circa 1805 in Georgia. She appeared in the census in 1830 in Walton Co, Georgia. She appeared in the census in 1840 in Walton Co, Georgia. Rebecca appeared in the census in 1850 in Butler Co, Alabama. She appeared in the census in 1860 in Spearsville, Union Parish, Louisiana. She died in 1862–1870 at the age of 57 in Spearsville, Union Parish, Louisiana. Rebecca was buried at an unknown cemetery in Union  Parish, Louisiana.. 

DOCUMENTATION & NOTES:

1. 1805: Birth date calculated from age of 45 as given in 1850 census.

2. 1820, Feb 27: marriage date of Richard Upshaw & Rebecca Elder, Elbert Co, Georgia (Source: Elbert Co, GA, will book L, page 475).

3. 1820 census: not located; in 1820 Elbert Co, page 162, Richard Upshaw household, the only females were three, age under 10, and one age 25-45. Rebecca (Elder) Upshaw would've been age 10-20.  Where was she living - perhaps with her parents or in-laws?

4. 1830 census, Walton Co, GA, page 158 (Richard Upshaw, Sr., household): 1 female age 20-30 (b 1800-1810).

5. 1840 census, Walton Co, GA, page 120 (Richard Upshaw household): 1 female age 30-40 (b 1800-1810)

6. 1850 census, Butler Co, AL, page 39: Rebecca Upshaw, 45 years old.

7A. 1860 census, Union Parish, LA, page 612, 21 July 1860, Spearsville Post Office, dwelling #685, family #685: Rebecca Upshaw, 60 years old, no real estate value, born in GA; Mary Upshaw, age 56, born in GA; Elisha Upshaw, age 28, farmer, born in GA, no real estate value, $150 personal estate value; Jonathan Upshaw, are 20, farmer, born in GA.

 (Note by descendant & Upshaw researcher Mr. Tim Hudson in 2011): "I'm convinced that Rebecca Elder Upshaw was listed twice on the 1860 Union Parish census. There are several situations like this in 1860 Union parish. On the first, (dwelling #685) notice that Rebecca is listed with William Elisha and Jonathan Upshaw as well as Mary Upshaw, a woman I cannot identify (perhaps an unmarried daughter of Richard Upshaw and his first wife, or a widow of a male Upshaw relative?). Next door is Ed Upshaw (age 19) and wife; I assume this is her son, Edmund Upshaw.
   In the second listing (dwelling #703) M.E. Upshaw is age 26, listed with "R. Upshaw" (female) who I think is Rebecca, as well as "J. Upshaw". who I think is Jonathan. I do find it odd that the initials are "M.E." and not correctly "W.E.". This is undoubtedly William Elisha Upshaw first (recorded as "M.E."), Rebecca and Jonathan. I say this because William Elisha Upshaw is the only male Upshaw living in Union Parish who owned real estate, other than Alexander Wilson Upshaw (whose family was missed by the 1860 census enumerator). William E. and Jonathan jointly purchased land from their brother in the year 1860. 

7B. 1860 Union Parish, LA, page 615, 21 July 1860, Spearsville Post Office, dwelling 703, family 703: M.E. Upshaw, age 26, male, farmer, $1,000 real estate value, $155 personal estate value, born in GA; R. Upshaw, age 50 (?), female, house keeper; J. Upshaw, age 20, male.

8. 1862: Rebecca Upshaw was paid $75 by the Union Parish Louisiana Police Jury, listed as a woman whose husband or sons were away in the Confederate Army. (Note: Parishes in Louisiana are governed by a "Police Jury" & it has no relation to local police).

4. Rebecca "Ann" Upshaw. At this point,  there is absolutely no evidence that her middle name was "Ann". In fact, I doubt that it was "Ann." Her mother had several sisters with unusual middle names, and several of Rebecca's grand daughters remember being told her name as a child and they agree it was something unusual. However, none of them really know what it was.

6. 1862, 29 July: 
   Died in the __________ Hospital, Charleston, S.C., July the 18th  in the 22nd year of his age, John W. Upshaw, of Union Parish, Louisiana.
   The subject of this sketch was a native of Georgia, but was removed in his youth and attained to mature years in the first named State. He was a soldier in the Confederate service for a year prior to his death, he having volunteered at the commencement of the war, serving a short period at Camp Moore, near New Orleans, Louisiana, in a company subsequently disbanded, and then joining Company D, 4th Louisiana Battalion. 
   This Battalion, after their campaign in Western Virginia, having been ordered to the coast of this State, were sent to aid in the defence [sic] of Charleston. In the engagement which ensued on James Island, the subject of our notice was so severely wounded in one of his legs as to render amputation necessary - this he never survived. but lingered to the above date when he expired. He professed religion some years ago, and united himself to a Baptist church. His prospects for the future, in view of his approaching end, may be seen from an extract taken from a letter, communicating his death to the writer  of this notice: 
   "I am sorry to announce  to you the death of our beloved brother  Upshaw, who departed  this life, in hope of a better, on the night of the 18th, in Charleston, S.C. He sent word for us to do better, and prepare to meet him in glory. I trust these words will be stamped on our hearts, and that our memories will bear in mind our friend, who, without doubt, now seeth not as through a glass darkly, but enjoys the presence of the Lord, face to face, where he can join in praise with those who have gone before. "Physically, brother Upshaw was strong and active. Mentally, those who knew him thought he possessed intelligence superior to his advantages. What he was as a Christian, we who do not see the heart do not wholly know.
   He is now before the Great Judge of all - far above the mists and doubts which obscure the judgment of men. But this we know, that even if he had some infirmities, he evinced a disposition  to serve his Maker, and was seldom indifferent to the subject of religion. In view of these considerations, those who survive him have "hope in his death."
   T.L. Cunningham, General Hospital, Macon, Georgia.

8. Jonathan joined the Spearsville Baptist Church during a ten-day protracted meeting at the Spearsville Baptist Church that began on the Saturday (September 5) before the first Sunday, (September 6) in September 1857. He joined the church by letter, implying that he had belonged to a Baptist Church while previously a resident of Butler County, Alabama, since his mother, Rebecca (Elder) Upshaw sold her farm in Butler County, Alabama in 1856.

COMMENTS: 

1.  Identity of this child of Richard Upshaw Sr. is determined by recognizing that Richard Sr. & Forrest Tinsley Upshaw (brothers) were in Walton Co. at the same time and the identities of all of Tinsley's children are known, so the remaining ones appearing in Walton Co. records must be children of Richard Sr. or Jr.

Elizabeth Upshaw and John D. Reynolds were married on 22 Dec 1844 in Walton Co, Georgia. John D. Reynolds was born in 1815 in Georgia. He lived in Walton Co, Georgia in 1844–1850. He appeared in the census in 1850 in Walton Co, Georgia. John was buried at an unknown cemetery.

11. 1902, 20 December: JOHN S. UPSHAW. December 20, 1902 - Ordered to be printed. (footnoted: S R - 57-2 - Vol. 1-33).
   Mr. Burton, from the Committee on Pensions, submitted the following Report (To accompany H.R. 8576).
   The Committee on Pensions, to whom was referred the bill (H.R.8576) granting a pension to John S. Upshaw, have examined the same and report:
   The report of the Committee on Invalid Pensions of the House of Representatives, hereto appended, is adopted and the passage of the bill as amended by the House committee is recommended.
   The House report is as follows:
   This bill proposes to pension John S. Upshaw, late captain of Douglas County, Mo., Home Guards, and late a private in J. Jay's company, Missouri Volunteers, Osage Indian war of 1837, at $50 per month.
   No claim has ever been filed in the Pension Bureau by the beneficiary named in this bill.
   It appears from a certificate of the adjutant-general of the State of Missouri, filed with your committee, that John S. Upshaw was commissioned as a captain in the Douglas County, Mo., Home Guards on July 28, 1861, and thatr he served until October 13, 1861.
   The records of the War Department show that the Hawkins Taylor Commission under the joint resolutions of Congress of July 12, 1862, and February 16, 1863, allowed pay to John S. Upshaw as captain of an independent cavalry company, Douglas County, Mo., Home Guards, for the period of one month and fifteen days as actual military services rendered the United States, which service was rendered  between July 28 and October 13, 1861.
   That Department further reported that there was no record of Captain Jay's company of Missouri volunteers during the Osage Indian war of 1837.
   There has also been filed with your committee the certificate of the clerk of the county court of Douglas County, Mo., setting forth that the name of John S. Upshaw was borne upon the rolls of the inmates of the county poor farm of Douglas County, Mo.; that said Upshaw is now, and has been for a long time past, an inmate of that poor farm, and supported by the county as a pauper, and that there was no one legally bound for his support.
   Title to pension under the act of June 27, 1890, could not obtain in this case for the reason that the officer did not serve ninety days during the war of the rebellion.
   There has also been filed with your committee the following statement of Hon. W.D. Vandiver, the member who introduced this bill: Washington, May 2, 1902.
      Gentlemen: I desire to submit a brief statement of the condition of Capt. John S. Upshaw, the proposed beneficiary in H.R. bill 8576.
      His military service commenced in the Osage Indian war of 1837, but the War Department has no record of any service in that war. His service in the civil war is on record, but is not sufficient to entitle him to pension under existing law, because a portion of his service was not credited on record, and because a portion of it was in a State organization. But his own company of independent home guards rendered important service along the southern border of Missouri  in 1862.
      His physical condition is such that he is totally disabled  from rheumatism, diarhea, and loss of sight,  being almost blind. He is now over 80 years old, very weak, and almost entirely helpless. I have seen him myself within the last year, and his condition excited pity.
      I am also reliably informed  that his financial condition is very pitiable; that he once occupied a position as a prominent business man in his county, an influential citizen in comfortable circumstances, but is now reduced to extreme poverty, and is being supported by the charity of the county as an inmate of the county poor farm
      Hoping this statement, with the official statements of his record, will warrant favorable action  by the committee, I remain, Very respectfully, W.D. Vandiver.
      The Committee on Invalid Pensions, House of Representatives.

      In view of the circumstances set forth above, your committee believes that the requirement of ninety days' service during the war of the rebellion may well be waived in this case, and that relief to the extent of granting to the beneficiary the maximum rating under the act of June 27, 1890, namely, $12 per month, should be granted, and the bill is therefore reported back with the recommendation that it pass after the same shall have been amended as follows:
      Strike out after the enacting clause  and insert in lieu thereof the following:
       "That the Secretary of the Interior be, and he is hereby authorized and directed to place on the pension roll, subject to the provisions and limitations of the pension laws, the name of John S. Upshaw, late captain Independent Cavalry Company, Douglas County, Missouri, Home Guards, and pay him a pension at the rate of  twelve dollars per month."

Upshaw, better known as "Uncle Severe," at the residence of Mrs. Mary Brown 3 1/2 miles south of Ava, on Friday, Jan. 20, 1911. "Uncle Severe was born in Tennessee May 28, 1813, and in all probability was the oldest man in the county. Mr. Upshaw has spent the greater portion of his life in Douglas county. In an early day he owned and cultivated one of the best farms in Douglas county, located on Fox creek near Denlow.
   After farming successfully for a number of years he embarked in the Mercantile business and was one of the leading merchants of Denlow for over 20 years. "Uncle Severe" built the flouring mill at Denlow and sold same to Wilson and Curnutt. Mr. Upshaw was a devoted christian, being a member of the M.E. church. So zealous was he for the work of the Master that he built a church house at his own expense and donated it to M.E. people.
   It will be remembered by his many friends that Mr. Upshaw was at one time one of the wealthiest men in the county. 
   He was a veteran of the civil war and was placed on the pension list by special act through W.D. Vandever. for the past 6 or 7 years he has been making his home with Mrs. Mary Brown and her son Burr Dotson, 3 1/2 miles south of Ava. Long live his memory.

COMMENTS: 

1. About 1850s and early 1860's much unrest and many disagreements were developing over slavery. On July 28, 1861, Captain John Sevier Upshaw organized his independent cavalry into the Douglas County Home Guards with headquarters in the little log courthouse at Vera Cruz. This unit consisted of seventy five loyal men. Their names are as follows (Aug. 7, 1861): 
   Captain John S. Upshaw (and other names)
   These men were all listed as Union troops under General Lyons. They were organized to prevent the Rebels from organizing and to disarm those who were disloyal. The Douglas County Home Guards furnished their own horses and arms. They disbanded on October 13, 1861, after their ammunition had been exhausted and they joined forces with Colonel Phelps Missouri Volunteers at Rolla.

The assailant's name was said to be well known but, as in other cases of that period, enforcement of the law was not always administered to guilty ones involved, so nothing was done about this case".

2. Buried at home place on Brush Creek, Douglas Co, MO.

Souder, 1989):  Leroy "Lee" Upshaw was killed in 1856 at old Rockbridge settlement on Bryant Creek, which was the county seat of Douglas County but was destroyed during the War Between the States. The present village of Rockbridge is located on Spring Creek where the mill was built in 1868. Leroy was reputedly hired killed by William N. Alsup, who then married his widow, Lydia Collins (not Parsons) Upshaw in the winter of 1858, which is verified by an affadavit completed by William's brother Moses Lock Alsup for William's widow who was filing for a pension on William's Civil War service.

329.  William "Doc" Upshaw (CSA) was born in 1817 in Wilkes Co, Georgia. He appeared in the census in 1830 in Butler Co, Alabama. He appeared in the census in 1840 in Butler Co, Alabama. Doc appeared in the census in 1850 in Butler Co, Alabama. He appeared in the census in 1860 in Butler Co, Alabama. He appeared in the census in 1870 in Montgomery Co, Alabama. Doc appeared in the census in 1880 in Robertson Co, Texas. He died on 12 Aug 1885 at the age of 68 in Robertson Co, Texas. He was buried at Suggs cemetery in Robertson Co, Texas. 

DOCUMENTATION & NOTES:

1. 1817: birthdate and birthplace determined from "Soldier's Discharge" statement in his Compiled Service Record, dated 29 May 1847: "was born in Wilkes County, Georgia, is thirty years of age, five ft. 8 1/2 inches high, dark complexion, dark eyes, black hair". Also, his age is given as 33 in the 1850 census. This is substantiated by the fact that "Leroy Upshaw" is found on the 1817 Wilkes County tax digest in Capt. Henry Jossey's Dist., with no land.

2. 1820: Birthdate as given on grave marker, Suggs cemetery, Hearne, Robertson Co, Texas: William Upshaw, Pvt., Co. K, 5 Ala. Inf., Confederate States Army, 1820-1897. (Source: photograph of marker on www.findagrave.com, May 2016; Note: Birth and death dates on this marker are obviously incorrect).

3. 1820 census: location of Leroy Upshaw unknown, but presumed to be in Alabama, where the 1820 census is not extant for most counties. Butler county was created in 1819 from Conecuh & Monroe Cos., Conecuh was created in 1818 from Monroe Co. which was created in 1814, so early Monroe & Conecuh counties should be investigated for all Upshaws. Monroe county lost all probate records in 1832, but other early records, especially deeds and tax, may survive. Leroy Upshaw is not found in the Bureau of Land Management records for Alabama, so he apparently received no land under that office.

4. 1830 census, Butler Co, AL, page 295: (Leroy Upshaw household): 1 male age 10-15 (William, born 1817).

5. 1840 census, Butler Co, AL, page 152: (Leroy Upshaw household): 1 male age 20-30 (William, born 1817).

COMMENTS:

1. The origin of the nickname "Doc" is unknown. 

2. A query by Laura Upshaw (email: lala@texas.net) on the GenForum "Upshaw" surname site in April 1999 states: Looking for information on William "Doc" Upshaw. I think he may have been born in South Carolina to Leroy & Catherine Upshaw. William married Margaret Eastridge (or Estrage) in Butler Co., Alabama. They had five children ... the only name I know is Minor Hubby, my ggrandfather. William Upshaw died in Robertson Co., Texas in the 1890s (I don't have exact year). He fought in the Civil War in Company "K" of the 5th Alabama Infantry. (I've contacted her on 27 Apr 1999, sent her Family Group sheet of William & Louise Upshaw of Butler Co, AL; have had no response as of 7 July 2000).

All have departed this life except Charles Butler. Her first husband died in 1868. She was again united in marriage to Nelson Martin in 1875. He departed this life in 1878. She again was united in marriage to John H. Overton in 1879. He died in 1893. Aunt Ruth, as she was familiarly known, united with the Primitive Baptist Church in 1864, and has lived a faithful member until her death. She was deprived of attending church for several years on account of being very feeble. She departed this life on the 14th of July, 1922, aged 88 years. The funeral was conducted by Elder Thomas T. France. (Note: Ruth Upshaw was not born in Virginia; see census returns; her first marriage was to "Sinclair" Butler, not "Richard" Butler; Sinclair Butler appears in the 1870 census, so his decease date of 1868 as given here is apparently incorrect).

RESEARCHERS:

1. (1999) from Kathy Stewart <kis@hom.net>: "Pension papers of James Upshaw (Union Civil War), states that James Upshaw of Co. E, 15th Indiana volunteer infantry, of Posey Co., Ind., born in Dade Co., Ga., was married twice, both deceased by 1897 at time of answering pension questionaire. The first wife's maiden name was Forrester. The only marriages I have, to date, are to (1) Elizabeth Autlew and (2) Matilda Edwards. These I verified in Evansville, Ind., while visiting this summer. I believed the first wife to be my lineage, as a child was born just prior to Matilda showing up some three months after the baby was born in Dec. (what year, where?). So I presumed that Elizabeth died during child birth. Matilda then married James and raised my 4th Great grandfather, Andrew, who was born in 1858; later the two having a son of their own named Walter J. Upshaw, born 1872. James pension papers states that his first wife was a Forrester and that her descent was Creek Indian(!). James apparently married (where?) his third wife Susan Stone, widow of Thomas Stone, in 1908. She received his pension after 1913 when he died (where?).
   James Upshaw also lived in Griffin, IN, Nashville, TN, and Scott Co., MO - the latter is where he died, burial site unknown. (Note: I replied to her via email on 9 Sep 1999, attaching my Family Group Sheet). She adds that James Upshaw died in 1913, Illmo, Scott Co, MO. (cemetery records there need to be checked)

James Upshaw [USA] and Elizabeth Autlew were married on 1 Apr 1858 in Posey Co, Indiana. Elizabeth Autlew was born circa 1837. She died in 1858 at the age of 21 in Posey Co, Indiana. She was buried at an unknown cemetery in Posey Co, Indiana.

James Upshaw [USA] and Matilda Edwards were married on 27 Mar 1859 in Posey Co, Indiana. Matilda Edwards was born circa 1837. She lived in Posey Co, Indiana in 1859. She died in Indiana?.

COMMENTS:

1. Rebecca ("Becca") Bradley may not have been a child of Andrew & Amelia (Upshaw) Bradley, who are only shown with one female child in the 1830 & 1840 censuses, although Becca is shown in their household in 1850.

2. The only marriage record for a "Rebecca Morgan" is in 1844 to William Lankford; there is no marriage record for a Rebecca Bradley in Monroe Co (Note:  check for a Rebecca ______ who 
married a _______ Morgan prior to 1850).

Rebecca "Becca" Bradley and (given name unk) Morgan were married before 1850 in Monroe? Co, Tennessee. (given name unk) Morgan was born circa 1824. He was buried at an unknown cemetery. 1. It is not certain that the "Becca Morgan", age 26, who was in the household of Permelia Bradley in 1850 was her daughter; was Becca's Morgan husband dead at this time?

348.  Polly Ann Bradley was born in 1826 in Tennessee. She lived in Monroe Co, Tennessee in 1830–1850. She died on 30 Jun 1869 at the age of 43 in McLeansboro, Hamilton Co, Illinois. Polly was buried at McLeansboro cemetery in Hamilton Co, Illinois.

COMMENTS: 

1. Polly is listed in the household of her mother in 1850 without her husband, William B. Mangus, or any of her three children born by that time; had William gone on to Hamilton Co, IL, while she stayed with her mother waiting on him to send for her?

2. Need to check Hamilton Co, IL, estate and cemetery records for this family.

COMMENTS:

1. No grave marker has been located for William Thomas Upshaw in Barbour Co, AL, and does not appear in printed versions of Spring Hill Methodist or in the Upshaw Family Cemetery, near Spring Hill (see UFJ, Vol II, page 87). No grave marker for him is found in www.findagrave, May 2017.

2. Some information contributed in 1975 by Mrs. J.H. Mitchell, 404 College Ave., Clemson, SC, which includes the notation that she believes he died circa 1863, possibly in Confederate Army, which needs verification). This is not correct, as Barbour Co, AL, Orphans Record Book 7, page 138, has the bond of Leroy Upshaw as administrator of William T. Upshaw, deceased, dated 21 May 1855 (see UFJ, Vol II, page 89); I believe this may have become confused with a "William T. Upshaw" of Virginia, who died about 1863.

   To his Excellency, Andrew Johnson, President of the United States. Sir, Having subscribed the oath of amnesty as prescribed in taces(?), Proclamation of the 29th May 1865 as will appear by the original hereto annexed, I respectfully submit this special application  for such clemency as may be extended to me consistently with the facts in my case and the peace and dignity of the United States. 
   I am a Planter by profession, forty two years old, never was a politician, never held any civil or military office under the so called Confederate States. At the time of the passage of the so called Ordinance of Secession in this state & indeed ever since September 1859 I was in a most precarious state of health and of unsound mind & memory in consequence of a terrible gunshot wound which I had received in the head & face and I have scarcely any recollection of events. I knew nothing about the passage of the Ordinance of Secession & did not vote for members to the Convention. I took no part in the war, though I contributed to the support of the soldiers by money & provisions.
   I am excluded from the benefits off the amnesty because I am worth over twenty thousand Dollars ($20,000) valuation of taxable property & for no other reason.
   I wish to be henceforth a peaceable and  legal citizen of the United States. I did not in arrest (sic?). I did not order or advise the taking of Mt. Vernon Arsenal or Ft. Morgan or aid therein. I have not served on any vigilance committee during the war. No person has been hung or shot by my order for any offence whatever. I have not shot or hung (or orded (sic) therein) any person for any offense whatever. I have not ordered or engaged in hunting with dogs any person supposed to be disloyal to the Confederate States. No proceedings have been instituted against any property under the confiscation act. No property belonging to me is in possession of the United States authorities as abandoned property or otherwise. The Government has not taken possession of any part of property. No proceedings are pending against me in any of the U.S. Courts for treason or conspiracy against the government of the United States. (signed) LeRoy Upshaw.
   Sworn & Subscribed before me this 12th day of Sep. A.D. 1865.
   F. Grabenhorst, Capt. Comdg. Det 49th Mo. Vol. Inf.

The State of Alabama, Barbour County.
   I, Leroy Upshaw, a citizen of Barbour County, do solemnly swear in the presence of Almighty God that I will henceforth faithfully defend the constitution of the United States and the Union of the States thereunder; & that I will in like manner abide by & faithfully support all laws and proclamations which have been made during the existing rebellion with reference to the emancipation of slaves, so help me God.
   (signed) LeRoy Upshaw.

   Bartow County Genealogical Society, Bartow County Georgia Heritage Book Vol. I (Cartersville, GA: the Society, 1995), page 214: Pierce/Upshaw (family):
         Levi Pierce was born 1810 in South Carolina and is thought to be one of the earliest settlers in the Pine Log Georgia area. He came from Elbert County, Georgia or western South Carolina with James Upshaw and Martin Maxwell, his brother-in-law around 1834-1836. Pierce is listed on the Federal census of Cass County, Georgia, 1840.
         Marriage records of Cass/Bartow County show that Levi Pierce married Matilda Upshaw, daughter of James and Lucinda (Ham) Upshaw, 8 December 1836 in Cass County. Matilda was born in Elbert County, Georgia in 1815.
         Children born to the marriage and approximate dates of birth are as follows: 
      Frances Ann, born 1839, George born 1843, Georgia Ann born 1845, Jannette born 1849 and Flora D. born 1852.
         Georgia Ann married James M. Dysart, 6 September 1866 in Bartow County, Georgia.
         Frances married Alexander C. Say, 24 December 1857 in Cass County. Their daughter, Matallice Neugenia Say, was born in Cass County 26 September 1858. Alexander Say died in Richmond, Virginia military hospital, December 28, 1862. Frances later married Pinckney Brutus Tisdal in Hot Springs County, Arkansas in 1871. It is not known to this writer who George, Janette or Flora D. married. 
         Levi Pierce was a millwright according to the 1850 Federal Census records. He and his brother-in-law Aulsey Vincent, are given credit for the fine example of craftsmanship that is part of the Pine Log United Methodist Church building, particularly the alter, in a book entitled History of the Pine Log Methodist Church, by Garrison and Mahan. On this church’s roster 1859-1863 Levi Pierce is listed as a member; however his membership was removed by letter in November 1862. It is not known what church, if any, that he attached with at that time; Matilda Pierce remained a member of this church, as did Lucinda Upshaw, her mother, and several other members of the Upshaw family.
         Levi Pierce’s family was enumerated in Bartow county in 1870. At this time, Frances (Pierce) Say and her daughter Metallice Neugenia Say are listed in this home. Sometime after the census was taken Frances (Pierce) Say and her daughter and George Pierce, Frances’ brother, moved to Hot Springs County, Arkansas.
         Levi Pierce died in 1886. Matilda (Upshaw) Pierce died in 1890. Both are buried in the Pine Log United Methodist Church Cemetery. Their daughter, Georgia Ann, her husband James Dysart and other Dysarts are buried on the Pierce-Dysart family plot, along with Levi and Matilda.
         During 1994, no Pierce family members have been located in the Pine Log area, although many descendants of Frances Pierce and Metallice Say live in Arkansas, Texas and Oklahoma. - Submitted by J.C. and Zelda Fisher, 1314 SW 9th St., Cooper, Texas. (J.C. is a great-great grandson of Levi and Matilda Pierce. His grandmother was Metallice Neigenia Say, daughter of Frances Pierce Say and Alexander C. Say).

   Mrs. Elizabeth Upshaw, widow of the late John A. Upshaw, died at her home in Cass County, Georgia, 13th February, 1859, aged 33 years, after a short but painful illness. 
   She joined the M. E. Church in 1855, and so continued in its communion to her death, humbly adorning her profession by a course which characterises the Christian.
   Lizzie was emphatically a good woman, innocent, harmless, kind and benevolent - a devoted mother and affectionate sister; modest, retiring and unassuming in her manners and disposition; was loved most by those who knew here best - but death claimed her for his victim in the noon tide of her life, leaving William, Lou, Jackson and Hylenia - four interesting dear orphan children to pass through this sinful world without father or mother, to lean upon, as was left their father, aunt and uncle, when they, too, were small children. May God, who is all in all, be more to them than they have lost in a dear mother.
   A short time before she died she asked her aged mother to give her youngest child (Hylenia) to Mr. and Mrs. Price -  that they would be to her a father and mother. She raised her hands and praised her Lord and Saviour - said she was happy, and that she loved everybody. We thank the Lord for this, and in Christian meekness bow to this dispensation of our Heavenly Father and praise His holy name for the assurance that our dear departed sister has exchanged the sufferings of this earth for the joys of Heaven, and may the Lord help us to prepare to meet her there.
