UPHAM, JOHN (A. 1600-1681) OF WEYMOUTH, MA, JOAN UPHAM (1591- ),WIFE OF RICHARD MARTIN AND SARAH UPHAM, (1609 - ) WIFE OF RICHARD ORMSBY.

John Upham brought his family in 1635 with Rev. Joseph Hull to Weymouth, MA. The Upham family of Bicton, Deven (near Otterton, 10 miles SE of Exeter), were inter-related with the Martin family of that area and descendants of both families came to early New England. Most of the information was taken from the Snow-Estes Ancestry, Vol. 2. While this source has the most extensive information found it is arranged in such a manner that it is hard to interpret.

Deacon married Elizabeth Webb Slade on 01 Nov 1626 in Bicton,Devon,Eng. Elizabeth was born in 1603 in Bicton,Devon,Eng; died about 1670 in Malden,MX,MA. [Group Sheet]
