    "Marriage Contract with W. R. Upchuch - According to research by Erwin Upchurch, the marriage agreement 'setting forth that none of the property including the dower in lands left her by her first husband, Charles McSwain, should go to pay any debts of said Upchurch, and that she should have said property all in her own name to do with as she pleased.'  This agreement was duly executed and is recorded in the Register of Deeds office in Stanly Co., NC."

    "Sarah Lucy (Laraner) Throckmorton McSwain married William Riley UpChurch in Norwood, Stanly county N.C. after Charles McSwain died in 1848.  I figured she must have married him in the early 1850's, he already had a couple of children from a previous marriage,I think he was married to a Sarah Randall, one of his boy's was named Osborne, this name was carried down in my family, Osborne Benjamin McSwain my g.g. and my father Jack Osborne McSwain."
