The Upshur family.

Recently, my parents said that my family are related to the Upshur family on my father's side. They are right because of many reasons. Long ago, the Upshur family came from the Eastern Shore in Virginia. Esther Perkins was born in 1816. Her husband was George Perkins I (he was born in 1815). Later, the couple had a child named Carolina Perkins (1862-1927). Caroline Perkins was my 4th great aunt. She married Henry Upshur (1858-1940) on December 29, 1881 at Northampton County, Virginia. One of their daughters was Roxyana Upshur (she was born on 1895). She married a man named James Willard Morris (1885-?) on October 28, 1914 at Northampton County, Virginia. One of their children was Willard O. Morris (1916-2005). Willard O. Morris married Odessa Morris (1921-?), and their daughter was Madeline Morris. She married Clifton James Showell. One of their sons was Clifton James Showell Jr. (1956-present). He married a woman named Vivian Douglin (born in 1958). Vivian Douglin is the daughter of the late Frank St. Clair Douglin (1922-2001). Frank was from the Caribbean at Barbados in his ancestors. Clfiton James Showell Jr. and Vivian Douglin's daughter was Vivian Chantel Showell (1988-present). Vivian Chantel Showell is my 5th cousin. The Upshurs live in Virginia, Maryland, Delaware, and as far north as New York. Therefore, secrets are being revealed at the right time.
