The Johnnie D. and Marie A. Upton Homepage
Updated September 6, 2000I am relatively new to family researching, and will be researching the Upton, Ahart, Pemberton, Elwell, Shaw, and Havis families. My father, Johnnie D. Upton, was born November 4, 1884 in Placerville (then called "Hangtown") California, and died November 23, 1952 in Cathey's Valley, Mariposa County, California. Dad is buried in the Mariposa Cemetary. His father, ( my grandfather)Hugh D. Upton, was born in Iowa on May 11, 1857, died in Redding, California on October 26, 1927, and is buried there. He was a miner by profession. According to his death certificate, Hugh Upton's father, John Upton, was born in Illinois, and hismother, Mary Tidder, was born in Virginia. My mother, whose maiden name was Myrtle Arlene Pemberton, was born at Bonita Springs in South Dakota on June 14, 1913, and died on March 8, 1989 in Riverbank, California. She is buried in the Cathey's Valley, Ca. cemetary. Mother was married four times. She was first married to a man by the name of Art (Last name unknown). Then she married a Mr. Willis A. Green, by which she had five children: Eleanor Leona, born 5/26/31 in California Hot Springs, Tulare County, California;Vern Robert Green,was born 2/28/33 in Chiloquin, Oregon and died Tuesday, April 21, 1987. (Robert is buried in Cathey's Valley, California). Olive Genevive (who had her name changed to Olive Jean) was born on June 21, 1934 in San Diego, California. William Arden Green was born on April 4, 1936 in Nevada City, California and Lemuel Bryce Green was born on February 13, 1938 in Redding, California. My mother's third marrage was to my father, J.D. Upton, who was a miner by profession, and his friends called him by his nickname "Jack". Dad was married at least one time before he and my mother were married, and had three boys: Victor, Stanley, and Lee, and two daughters: Alice and Wilma. I remember having met Vic, Stanley, and Lee while very young, but do not remember ever having met Alice or Wilma. I believe dad's family by his prior marrage lived in the Stockton, California area. | |
