1262. Thomas Upson. Born ca 1611. Thomas died in Farmington, CT on 19 Jul 1655.25

From the Hickock Genealogy:3
“Thomas was early in Hartford. He was one of those, not proprietors, enumerated in 1638, who had the privilege of getting wood and keeping cows on the common. In that year, he, with others, was ‘censured and fined for unseasonable and immoderate drinking at the pinnace’ [a boat then anchored in the river or at the town wharf in Hartford] 20 s. He was an original proprietor and settler of Farmington, Conn.
“The estate which was small was distributed in 1671 to the remaining children, Thomas, Stephen, mary, Hannah, and to Edmund Scott in right of his wife.”

Thomas Upson (-9 Dec 1672)

On 23 Jan 1646 Thomas second married Elizabeth Fuller in Hartford, CT. Elizabeth died in Farmington, CT on 20 Jul 1655.

Elizabeth Fuller could not have been a descendant of Edward Fuller of the Mayflower.3 Neither could she have been the daughter of Matthew Fuller since that Elizabeth married Moses Rowley in 1652 at Barstable, and that Elizabeth was named in the will of Matthew as Moses’ wife.

In the court of 21 Aug 1646 Elizabeth Fuller was sentence to be severly corrected for an offense against morality (perhaps she bore an illegitimate child).3

It is unclear that the Elizabeth Fuller who died 20 Jun 1655 was the wife of Thomas Upson. That may have been a daughter. It has been claimed that Thomas’s widow Elizabeth married Edmund Scott.

Their children include:

Hannah Upson (ca 1648-1705)
