Frank Upson(Frank 3,Peter 2,Job 1) is a great grandfather in my maternal ancestry. His father Peter is my emigrant ancestor, Peter is believed to be from Botesdale, Suffolk, England.
Frank was born about 1856 in Ohio to[1] Peter and Harriet Tenney Upson. Harriet Tenney is a descendant of Thomas and Ann Mighill who were part of the Great Migration to the USA. Peter was born in Botesdale, Suffolk, England.
Frank married Kitty Sweet on 31 Dec 1879 in Clinton, Summit, Ohio, USA [2] I received my middle name from Kitty. (Katherine)Story is that Dad didn’t like Kitty so Mom compromised with Katherine, I rather like Kitty! Perhaps if it was Kitty I would prefer Katherine, as things so often happen.
Frank and Kitty had the following children:
