The Gupton Family

The Children of James Gupton Jr.

Daniel Gupton

Daniel was born approximately in 1807 in Franklin County, North Carolina. He was the son of Patsy Pearey, James Gupton's' first wife.  In the will of James Gupton Daniel was made co executor with his step mother Lucy. From the will we are left with the impression that Daniel had already received his land from his father. 

Daniel married Jacobina Gupton the daughter of Isaac Gupton and Mary Gilliam. She was called Jacky.  Daniel and Jacky's marriage bond was issued on 24 Jul 1832 in Franklin County. Joshua Brown was the Bondsman. 

The Children of Daniel and Jacobina Gupton

1. Lurena born in August but the year on census is 1834 and 1837. 1834 is found the most often on records. Lurena married James Brewer on 13 Oct 1858 in Franklin County. He was the son of John "Jack" Brewer and Polly Leonard. Lurena last appears in the census of 1910. In 1920 James was a widow. So Lurena died between 1910 and 1920. I have not found her death certificate or a grave. 
2. Patsy G. was born around 1834 and died single before 1880
3. Mary Angeline was born around 1838 and appears in the 1850 and 1860 census only.
4. Edgar was born in 1839. He served in the Civil War and died 23 May 1922. 
5. Olivia V also has conflicting birth information. She was born either in October of 1842 or on 5 Nov 1840. The 1840 date was on her death certificate. She also married a Brewer. She married John Brewer Jr on 15 Nov 1875. Her death certificate has her death as 7 Jan 1920.
6. Sarah F was born, according to her death certificate, on 30 Nov 1847. She married Sidney Joyner the son of Amos Alfred Joyner after he returned from the Civil War. They were married on 30 Feb 1867 in Franklin County, North Carolina. Sarah appears on the 1920 census with Sidney in Nashville, Nash County, North Carolina. On that census Sidney's occupation is a butcher. Sarah passed away on 20 Jun 1928. Sadly one of her children, A.H. committed suicide on 14 Feb 1915 when he was about 24. Sidney passed away on 12 Apr 1930.
7. Cornealius "Niece" E was born around 1850. He married Cornealia Collins the daughter of James T. Collins and Mariah Cope. She was Seraphna Collins Murphy Leonard's sister. Cornealius died on 3 Mar 1929. Cornealia passed away before 1900.
8. Jacky D. appears in the 1860 census as 5 years old. 
9. Josephella was born around 1856. On census records she was named Joseph E. twice. She died single at the age of 78 from TB on 20 Aug 1934.

Because Josephella was named Joseph E on census records some family pedigree charts have Daniel with a Joseph E as a son. However when looking at those records Joseph E is a female. I do not believe that there was another child by that name. 

Daniel passed away in 1856 according to probate records. Jacobina passed away around 1890.

Next blog will be about Thomas Gupton, another son of James. (Brother to Daniel)
