52 ANCESTORS IN 52 WEEKS 2015 WEEK 11: FRANCIS UPTON OF ALBANY MAINE PT2

My 4x great grandfather Francis Upton continued the family tradition of having a
large family; he and Sarah (Bancroft)Upton had twelve children. John Adams Vinton
gives a list of them in The Upton Memorial, but when I double checked the information
against several Maine record collections at FamilySearch, I found some discrepancies
in the dates. So I've put my corrections in red ink below:
