Genealogy: Arthur Upshur (1624-1709) was born in Essex County, England. He immigrated to the Eastern Shore of Virginia about 1637. His descendants for the next five generations remained on the Eastern Shore.  The Teackle family goes back to Thomas Teackle (1624-1695) who came to the Eastern Shore from Gloucester, England.
