The Upshur Family

I am related to numerous people. The Upshur family is related to my paternal family. A lot of this new information is very interesting. First, George and Esther Perkins lived in Northampton County, Virginia. That is located at the Eastern Shore. George Perkins was born in 1815 and Esther Perkins was born in 1816. They had many children including Julia Perkins who was born in 1835. Julia Perkins married Johnson Brickhouse (who was my 3rd great grandfather). Johnson Brickhouse was born in 1826, and he was an African American Union war veteran. Both Julia Perkins and Johnson Brickhouse had the following children: Ann Eliza Brickhouse (1857-1921), Jno Lee Brickhouse (1858-?), Esther Brickhouse Bailey (1862-1955), Martha Brickhouse (1867-?), and Maggie Brickhouse (1871-?). Ann Eliza Brickhouse was my 3rd great aunt and she lived in Virginia.Ann married twice. Her first husband was James Burton. Her second husband was James Kelly and they wed on February 12, 1893 at Northampton County, Virginia. Nollar Burton Upshur was the child from Ann Brickhouse and James Burton (1848-1931). Nollar Burton Upshur lived from 1877 to 1961, and she was my first cousin.Nollar Burton Upshur married Ruben B. Upshur on the date of April 26, 1898 at Northampton County, Virginia. Nolla Burton Upshur and Ruben Benjamin Upshur had the following children: Ollife Upshur (1899-1995), James Velvet Upshur (1901-1975), Milton Alfred Upshur (1904-1977), Marrie Upshur (1906-?), Ershie Upshur (1907-?), Reuben Usphur (1909-1939), Curtis Upshur (1913-1984), Alice G. Usphur (1915-1938), Andrew Philip Upshur (1915-1995), John Thomas Upshur (1917-2012), Baylise Upshur (1919-2014), Belle E. Upshur (1921-?), Helen Burton Upshur (1923-2006), and Evangeline Virginia Upshur (1921-1995). Baylise Upshur was born in Northampton County, Virginia on May 14, 1919. She married Willie Coleman and they had a child named Velma Coleman. Velma Coleman married Horace Gene Roscoe on the date of October 4, 1974 at Virginia Beach, Virginia. Velma Coleman was born on March 5, 1948. Velma Coleman was born in the Bronx, NYC. She lived in Georgia until her transition in 1996. She converted to Islam to be known as Velma Muhammad. Velma Muhammad's daughter is my fourth cousin Anjirlic Aminu. Therefore, Northampton County, Virginia is a location where tons of my paternal relatives originated from.
