More information
Upshur was born in Northampton County, Virginia in 1790, one of twelve children. His father Littleton Upshur—described as a "staunch individualist and rabid Federalist"—owned the plantation Vaucluse, and was a member of the Virginia Legislature, and a Captain in the US Army during the War of 1812.
Upshur attended Princeton University and Yale College; he was expelled from the former for participating in a student rebellion. He did not graduate, returning to Richmond, Virginia, to study law with a private firm. Upshur was admitted to the bar in 1810; he briefly set up practice in Baltimore, Maryland, but returned to Virginia after the death of his father. He developed a thriving law practice and became active in state politics.
