The Upton surname in historical dictionaries

UPTON. There are many places in A-arious counties called Upton ; and there are doubtless several distinct origins for the surname. The most distinguished family, the ancestors of the Viscounts Temiiletowu, originated at Uppetou, or Upton, an extensive manor branching into several parishes of East Cornwall, where John de Upton, grandfather of Hamelyu de Upton, who was party to a deed executed in 1218, flourished in the XII. century. See C. S. Gilbert's Cornwall, i. 4G2.
