Description
Excerpt from Upton Family Records: Being Genealogical Collections for an Upton Family History
By this time the writer''s collection of Upton data had become so extensive and valuable that the thought of its possible destruction, by fire or other casualty, afforded him considerable uneasiness, it being evident that much of it, once lost, could never be duplicated. This feeling increased when, upon the death of Colonel Chester in 1882, America forgot her pride, and England her gratitude, and permitted his incomparable collections to be scattered to the four winds of heaven; Colonel Chester''s contribution constitutes about thirty-six pages of the most valuable matter in this volume.
