(II) Lieutenant Phineas Upham, son of John and Elizabeth Upham, was the only son in the family who left posterity. As before mentioned, he was born in 1635, but whether between the making of the passenger list of the Hull Company and the time of sailing on the voyage to the New World, or whether he was born very soon after the landing of the company, is not known. He performed valuable service in King Philip's war. According to the Malden records he became owner of land in Maiden in 1663-64. In 1671-73, with others, he surveyed the road from Cambridge
to Malden. On July 8, 1673, he was allotted land at Worcester. He received the commission of lieutenant about 1675, and his name is found frequently in the history of events during King Philip's war. He was lieutenant of the fourth company of the Massachusetts regiment of which Gen. Josiah Winslow, governor of Plymouth colony, was commander- in-chief, and Samuel Appleton, of Ipswich, was major. Captain Isaac Johnson commanded the fourth company, and when he was killed at the beginning of the storming of Fort Canonicus and battle at Great Swamp fort, Lieutenant Upham, next in rank, commanded the company until he was himself wounded. He died in Malden in 1676, and in the records of the general court at their fall term in that year it is noted that the court ordered his bills of charge from surgeons and doctors be paid, and that Ruth Upham, his widow, be paid £10 from the treasury of the county, "in consideration of the long service her husband did for his country, the great loss of the widow by his death, being left with seven small children, not able to carry on their affairs, for the support of herself and family." Ruth Upham died January 18, 1696- 97, aged sixty years, and was buried at Malden. In the record of Malden marriages the following entry is to be found: "Phineas Upham and Ruth Wood, I4d. 2 m. '58, by me, Richard Russell." The children of this couple were all born at Malden, and were as follows: Phineas, May 22, 1659; Nathaniel, 1661; Ruth. 1664, died 1676; John; Elizabeth; Thomas, 1668; Richard, 1675.
(III) John (2), third son of Lieut. Phineas and Ruth (Wood) Upham, was born December 9, 1666, and died at Malden, June 9, 1733. He married Abigail Hayward (in one account written Howard), 1688, daughter of Samuel Hayward, and died August 23, 1717. John Upham married (second) Tamzen Ong, 1717- 18. Children: John, born 1690; Samuel; Abigail, 1698; Ezekiel, 1700; David, 1702; Jacob, died in infancy.
