William Upchurch, III (Jr) (of Granville) XID 162
Colonial Upchurch & Head of Clan 11
Commentary from Phil Upchurch: William Upchurch III was born in 1774 in Granville County, NC. He was the son of William Upchurch II. In 1803 in Granville County, William III would marry Henrietta Jenkins.
Any guidance on further research on the families of Richard Upchurch II and William Upchurch II might be as follows:
They were brothers and members of the fourth generation of the American Upchurch family. Both brothers are recorded in the mid to late-1700s in Granville County. However, the 1755 appearance of Richard Upchurch II on the tax rolls of Granville County could be misleading. Richard Upchurch II had no further connection to Granville County, and shortly after 1755, we find his destiny playing out in what is today Franklin County, NC. The Biofile of William III includes several William Upchurch entries from Franklin County, NC. I now feel these should be discounted as from 1760 onward the story of Richard Upchurch II played out in Franklin County NC, whereas that of William II was in Granville County. William II had two sons, John Upchurch IV (head of Clan 12) and William Upchurch III (the subject of this Biofile). We have good records on the John Upchurch IV family and will set these aside and only remark that his life was spent in Granville County.
The records of William II in Granville County are very important to us as several aspects of the family are of special concern. This family appeared to continue to reside in Granville for most of the 1800s. However, about 1890, an offshoot of the family appeared in Raleigh, NC. In an attempt to understand the linkages a proposal is advanced, the essence of which follows:
I. William U III married Henrietta Jenkins
a. An unnamed son married Elizabeth and produced a son,
Archibald H. Upchurch. Elizabeth would go on to marry a
man named William Johnson.
i. Archibald H Upchurch married Mary Dement
1. William Archibald Upchurch
About 1890, William Archibald Upchurch appeared in Raleigh, NC having been born in Granville in 1860. On February 25, 1980, I interviewed Annie Elizabeth Upchurch (1902 – 1992), a retired spinster in Raleigh and obtained much information. She was the daughter of William Archibald. His family was prominent in Raleigh.
From these records and hints, the stage is set for more productive research on the William Upchurch III Clan.
