So shall it be with my father: he shall be called a prince over his posterity, holding the keys of the patriarchal priesthood over the kingdom of God on earth, even the Church of the Latter Day Saints, and he shall sit in the general assembly of patriarchs, even in council with the Ancient of Days when he shall sit and all the patriarchs with him and shall enjoy his right and authority under the direction of the Ancient of Days. |

Notes - THOMAS UPSON (1617-1655)
ELIZABETH FULLER (1626-1690) (Note: She is not connected to John Fuller and Elisabeth Emersen.)
THOMAS UPSON was born in Stonham, Aspal, Suffolk, England in about 1617 to Richard Upson (1588-1635; born in England and died in Plymouth, Massachusetts) and unknown mother. He was the founder of the Upson family in American. He sailed from London, England, in the good ship “Increase” landing in Boston in 1635 or 1638, and who afterward removed to Hartford, Connecticut.
The name of his first wife and his children’s birth records have never been discovered. Savage’s Genealogical Dictionary states that some of his children were certainly born in England. He left his wife and daughter, Mary, in England, when he sailed to America in 1635 or 1638 with his son, Thomas Upson, Jr. They landed at Saybrook, Connecticut. Thomas was one of 163 listed in the Book of Distribution of Land in Hartford, having settled in Hartford before February 1640.
Thomas’s name appears in “ye Towne Book of Hartford” on the 3rd of January 1639, as one of those “who received land by courtesy of the town with liberty to fetch wood and keep swine and cows by proportion on the Common.” In February of 1639 he owned “several parcells of land in Hartford upon ye river of Connecticut.” His home stood on the Main Highway on the property later owned by the Porter School.
In Particular Court Records of Connecticut (vol. 22), it reads: “Hartford, August 1, 1639, Fined for unseasonable and immoderate drinking at the ‘Pinnace’ [a boat then anchored in the river or at the town wharf in Hartford,] Thomas Upson, 20 shillings.” In these early days intemperance was a prevailing vice, social drinking was universal and even countenanced by the ministry.
In 1640 the Tunxis Indians conveyed land to the English which included Farmington. Immediately Thomas sold his Hartford lands and removed from his property to Tunxis, and he became an original proprietor of the town, later called Farmington. For some time the new settlers continued to attend the First Church of Christ in Hartford.
We know that Thomas Upson married, as his second wife, Elizabeth Fuller, early in 1647 by the following record: “Thomas Upsunn was maryed to Elisibeth Fuller Jenneuary the twenty and three, one thousand six hundred forty and six.” The marriage date was actually in 1647, due to the earlier form of calendar dating.
In a list of members of the First Church at Hartford, the date of the death of Thomas Upson is entered as 1665 instead of 1655. But he did die in Farmington on 19 July 1655, his age not given. The fever and smallpox epidemic that swept through New England in 1655 took so many. (He was age 55.) His daughter Elizabeth died the day after he did. Because of the young age of the Upson children, it was many years before the estate was settled.
His wife Elizabeth, remarried (Edmund Scott, the children called him “Father Scott.”) The Court ordered a distribution of the estate on 7 September 1671, in the amount of 7 pounds to the eldest son, Thomas; 5 pounds to Stephen; 4 pounds to the eldest daughter, Mary; and 4 pounds to Hannah Upson Hickox. On 20 September 1680, Hannah’s brother Stephen discharged “Father Scott” of both his portion and that of their deceased brother, Thomas, who had died in December 1672. In June and April of 1681, the husbands of both Mary (John Welton) and Hannah (Samuel Hickox) discharged the “Father Scott” (the girls’ step-father) “on account of Father Upson’s Estate.” So, in effect the Upson children forewent their inheritances.
Thomas Upson died 19 July 1655, in Farmington, Hartford, Connecticut, from a fever or small pox. His daughter Elizabeth died the next day of the same illness.
A memorial to the founds of Hartford, Connecticut reads as follows: “Thomas Upson founder of the Upson Family in America who settled in Hartford, Connecticut, in 1638, a proprietor of Farmington, Connecticut in 1640 where he died.”
ELIZABETH FULLER was born 4 April 1626 in Fairstead, Essex, England, to unknown parents. (She is not the “Elizabeth Fuller” who is a descendant of Edward Fuller of the Mayflower.) She arrived in Hartford in 1646. She married (1) Thomas Upson 23 January 1646 in Hartford, Connecticut. She married (2) Edmund Scott.
In a court dated 21 August 1646, Elizabeth Fuller was sentenced to be severely corrected for an offense against morality. This was probably due to her first child, Hannah, being born illegitimately. This is not mentioned by the Upson Genealogy.
Elizabeth died 20 July 1690 in Farmington, Hartford, Connecticut, at the age of 64. (Sometimes the death date is listed the same as her daughter Elizabeth Upson’s death date—20 July 1655, which is wrong. Elizabeth Fuller Upson married Edmund Scott after her husband, Thomas Upon, died.)
Children of Thomas Upson and his first wife:
1.Mary, eldest daughter, was married in 1667 to John Welton of Wales while crossing the Atlantic. Upon reaching this country, they were in Saybrook, and in 1672 removed to Farmington where John was one of the proprietors of that town. They had 12 children. Mary died at Waterbury on 18 October 1716; and John on 18 June 1726.
2.Thomas Upson, eldest son, removed to Saybrook. The town records show what he died unmarried at Saybrook, when, on 9 December 1672, he was “killed by an ox-cart going over his head.”
Children of Thomas Upson and Elizabeth Fuller:
1.Hannah Upson was born about 1647 in Farmington, Hartford, Connecticut. She married Sergeant Samuel Hickox 25 October 1644. She died 20 July 1707 at Waterbury, New Haven, Connecticut, at about age 60.
2.Elizabeth Upson, b. 1650; d. 20 July 1655 as a child, the day after her father died with the same fever.
3.Stephen Upson, b. about 1650 in Farmington. He married 29 Dec 1682 Mary Lee. Stephen was 5 when his father died. His older brother died in 1672 when he was 22, and he inherited his estate. Stephen became the only lineal descendant to carry on the Upson name. He died 5 November 1735 in Waterbury, New Haven, Connecticut.
