I do not know for sure who Barbara Upright's parents are. I found on WorldConnect (Family Tree of Cynthia Smithdeal) an entry stating that she was the daughter of Samuel Upright b. bef 1760 m. Elizabeth b. aft 1770. This information lists 12 children, including Peter "Eli" Upright b. abt 1789 and Barbara b. abt. 1811. I contacted Cynthia who advised me that she got her information from World Family Tree vol. 29, Ed. 1 but did not know the validity of it. I have not found any proof. I would love to find someone with Bible records or some other proof of this. Prior to finding Cynthia's listing, I had been leaning toward thinking Barbara's parents might have been Eli Upright and Barbara Freed Upright. According to the Rowan County Marriage Book information, they married in 1813 and Barbara was born in 1814. Also, one of Eli's sons named a child Cornelius. Barbara named her only son Cornelius. I would be very appreciative to be connected to others researching this family. Thanks for helping me connect to them if possible.
