From the book: <i>Historic Homes and Institutions and Genealogical and Personal Memoirs of Worcester County, Massachusetts: With a History of Worcester Society of Antiquity By Ellery Bicknell Crane Published by Lewis Pub., 1907 Item notes: v. 1 & 3 Original from Harvard University Digitized Aug 21, 2008 </i>John Upham (l), probably of Somersetshire in England, came to America in the company with Rev. Joseph Hull known as the Hull colony in 1635. With him were his wife Elizabeth, aged thirty-two, Sarah Upham, probably his sister, aged twenty-six , and his children, John, Jr.. aged seven, Nathaniel aged five. Elizabeth aged three. His wife was probably Elizabeth Webb. These emigrants made their home at Weymouth. where John Upham was made a freeman September 2, 1635, at the same time tha t Rev. Mr. Hull acquired his citizenship in the colonies in the same way. In 1636 Mr. Upham drew land at Weymouth and from time to time afterward added by purchase and drawing. He was a prominent figure in the colony from the outset. He was one of the six who treated with the Indians for lands at Weymouth. He was appointed a commissioner to try small cases. He was selectman in 1645-46-47, and was a deputy to the general court. He removed to Mal den, about 1648, and was elected selectman there in 1651-52-53. He was commissioner also for Malden. In August, 1671, he married ______ Hollie, probably Katheryn, widow of Angell Holland. He was moderator of the town meetings in Malden in 1678-79-80. He was a deacon of the church for twenty-four years. He and his son were interested in the settlement of VVorcester at the time of King Ph ilip's war. He died February 25, 1681. aged eighty-four years. His children were: I. Nathaniel, born May 23, 1629-30, in England, married Elizabeth Steadman, March 5, 1661-2, died March 20, 1661-2, leaving no children; widow married Henry Thompson, 1669. 2.

He drew a lot of fifty acres July 8, 1673, in consideration of his services in promoting the colony. The gran t was confirmed in April, 1675. The breaking out of Philip's war at this junction turned the attention of the lieutenant from real estate to the battlefield. He was commissioned as lieutenant in the little army of the colonies as early as Septem ber of the year 1675. The forces under Genera! Winslow met the Indians in battle December 19, 1675. In this fight, which is known as the storming of Ft. Canonicus or the battle at the Great Swamp Fort, he was mortally wounded. With other wounde d he was carried to Wickford from the field of battle. H[e] was sent to Rhode Island, January 6, 1675-6. and later was borne to his home at Malden. The march from Rhode Island is called the Hungry March. There was much suffering from lack of foo d and the horses were killed and eaten on the way. In October, 1676, he died. The general court made a special appropriation to pay the cost of his long illness and gave the widow ten pounds, as she was left with seven small children to support . The wife was Ruth, widow of Edward Wood, who died in Charlestown, August 20, 1642. She died January 18. 1696-7, at the age of sixty years. The Upham Genealogy says of him: "In battle Lieutenant Upham exhibited the character of a brave man an d patriot, purchasing with mortal wounds the palm of victory and the government was not unmindful of his great sacrifice but bore testimony upon the records to the long and good services he did to the country and the great loss sustained by hi s friends in his death."

(II) Lieutenant Phineas Upham, son of John Upham (t), was born probably in 1635, at Weymouth, Massachusetts. He was the only son of John Upham, who left posterity, consequently he too is progenitor of all the Uphams of colonial ancestry. He ha s always been known as Lieutenant Phineas, for the reason that he held that rank and rendered important service in King Philip's war, He married. April 14, 1658, Ruth Wood, at Malden.
