Hi Liese: Here is an update on Isaac Uptegrove and family. This info came from our local LDS and my end of the family. Isaac Uptegrove wed Henrietta McDonald, where not known, but a guess would be either in Simcoe,Ont. or Waterford,Ont.,Canada. They had one son H.Roy and two daughters; one is Mabel who wed Fred Seibring andd lived in Simcoe. H.Roy died in their home in 1942. I think I have sent you my info about H.Roy and Grace W. his wife. I also found in the American Loyalist book: James Uptegrove wed to Jane Schram, Westminister,O.C., 11 July 1833.THEN-- James H. Uptegrove, aged 42 years, resident of Port Royal, Walsingham,Ont. Canada. Brn. in Penn.,U.S.A.; son of George and Barbera Uptegrove; wed Bridget (Gibbles), age 23, resident of Houghton. Brn. in Quebec; daughter of Thomas and Mary Gibbles,(Henry)-23 Oct., 1867. I hope this adds to your Canadian File. Regards----ROY. Liese Uptegrove-Ade wrote: > Regarding the Death Penalty for being a Loyalist..
