BPLH Room Card Notes record that he was baptized "Thomas Jesse". Revolutionary War soldier in 1777. He died at home of his daughter, Polly [Mrs. Samuel Peck].
BPLH Room Card Notes record "Jesse Upson is supposed to have come from Wolcott. He lived in New Haven during the Revolution, and was a shoemaker by trade. He d. in Kensington, at Mrs. Sam'l Peck's. While an apprentice in New Haven [where he learned his trade], the lady [who later became his wife] came in from Fair Haven with pears in her saddle-bag to sell. He crept around and slyly inserted his hand there. She grasped his hand in the saddle-bag and pummeled him well, asserting that 'that tow-headed Upson would not try to steal her pears again'. This seems to show that Elizabeth Smith lived on a farm in Fair Haven. While removing his family from New Haven to a place of safety during the Revolution, the British soldiers captured him and kept hin on board ship a long time. They made him serve them as a barber and shoemaker. Was he also a Revolutionary soldier. There is tradition that he came from the war to remove his family. His house was looted by the British." - Cataloger Note : Copied from what appears to be a photocopied clipping - no source was cited.
