History

Upham Parish was established in 1835: named for Joshua Upham (1741-1808), a Loyalist officer in the King's American Dragoons, a Harvard law graduate, and a judge of the New Brunswick supreme court in 1784: included Hammond Parish until 1858.

Delineation

Upham Parish is defined in the Territorial Division Act[2] as being bounded:

Armstrong, and thence easterly in a direct line to the northeasterly angle of lot number two, granted to Robert Godfrey; thence northerly by a direct line to the southeasterly angle of lot number six, granted to William Scoullar; thence following the easterly side line of said Scoullar grant to its northeasterly corner on the Hammond River; thence following or crossing the said Hammond River to the southeasterly corner of a five hundred acre lot, granted to Charles Robertson; thence along the easterly side line of said Robertson grant to its northeasterly corner; and thence in a direct line to the northeasterly corner of a two hundred acre lot granted to James Beyea, where is standing a maple tree, and continuing the same course beyond the said maple tree to the Old Westmorland Road.[lower-alpha 1]
