Hi Kathy,
I've got this for Stephen.
From Savage:
UPSON, by vulgar spell. UPSUM, conform. to sound, STEPHEN, came to Boston, in the Increase from London, 1635, call. a lawyer, aged 23, was liv. 20 yrs. aft. and I preesume that he had a fam. but am ign. of details. See 3 Mass. Hist. Coll. VIII. 261. Many yrs. aft. that publicat. Mr. Drake, in Geneal. Reg. XIV. 312, marks this Stephen, a Lawyer, yet gives him the same number of yrs. with my read. Perhaps his eyes were delud. by the handwiriting, for my own experience proves how easy it is to be wrong in such puzzles.
UPSON,
Stephen, a lawyer, ae. 23, came in the Increase April 15, 1635. See Wright, Edward. [Note by compiler: According to the passenger list, Mr. Upson's given name was Steeven, not Stephen, and he was a sawyer, not a lawyer.]
(2) English-America <http://english-america.com/spls/635ne011.html#Increase>:
The Increase, 1635; Robert Lea, Master .
Source: "Hotten's Lists", pages 55, 57-58, 60-61, and 64-66. . . .
Stephen died in 1638 and hiw widow married Hugh Griffin who provided in his will for his step-daughter Hannah Upson.
Did not find record of his marriage in 1637 in Sudbury, Vital Records. Could be Watertown
I have his birth location as Stonham Aspal, Suffolk,England. Don't have his parents, yet. Wife's surname was apparently Andrews. Her parents,Robert and Elizabeth Franklin, were b. in Oxford, England.
Hope this helps
Jenny
