I am not researching these people, but have a booklet with some information that might help you. From the "Historical Atlas of Westmoreland County, Virginia" by David Eaton, 1942:

"John Upshaw of Essex County on Dec. 20, 1757, appears as guardian of Thomas and William Sthreshley, orphans of William Streshley, deceased. He married Suca Sthreshley. In 1767 he was commissioned Captain of Essex County Militia and qualified Nov. 7, 1767. He removed to Caroline County and was made a Justice in 1770 to 1778; sheriff from 1785 to 1787. He was chairman of the Commission of Safety, chosen December 6, 1774 (W&M., V5, (1), p. 254). The Upshaws came to America from Essex County, England."
