John Uplinger (1820-1893) PA. & IL.
My great aunt, Lena Alma Bacon (1880-1961), daughter of Elmer Bacon and Eliza Stenner Bacon was married at Elgin, IL in 1930 to Leon Odell Uplinger (1888-1975). This was a second marriage for both of them. Leon was a son of Benjamin "Frank" Uplinger (1859-1927) and Calpunia Littrell (1865-1931) who were married in Nebraska in 1886.
"Frank" Uplinger was born in Butler, Luzerne Co., PA. a son of John Uplinger (1820-1893) and Elizabeth Wood (1823-1897). John and Elizabeth had 13 children and they moved west from PA to DeKalb county, IL in 1866. I would like to find more information about their other children. I know that one of their daughters was married to a Vandeburgh relative.
