On Saturday I mentioned that Abel P. Upshur's father, Littleton Upshur was a War of 1812 officer.
I wasn't able to find out much about him, but this is what I did find.
From Petersrow.com.
Captain Littleton Upshur's Company, 27th regiment. This company had 63 men and was a part of the Virginia militia.
The payroll of it showed that Littleton Upshur, was a captain and was owed pay for 1 month and 29 days.
the 27th Regiment Virginia Militia was from Northampton County and the regiment was commanded by Col. major Major S. Pitts (probably just one Major in the name.)
They served from September 21 to October 28, 1813 and from May 28 to November 1814.
