THE MICHAELS
Michael Upchurches have more overall Google
hits than Mikes, (884 vs. 427 respectively) I won't catalogue
them, because the Michael Upchurches can get their own internet
custodian if
their so fancy.
Michaels pay more attention to details than Mikes, like full pronunciation of their first name. They also button the top button on their shirts, and they keep their place picked up, unlike a lot of us Mikes. We Mikes could learn a thing or two from the Michaels, if we'd just pay attention long enough to let it sink in. In fact, if most of us Mikes checked our birth certificates, we'd find that we were born Michaels. But, for us Mikes, life is too short to for that interminable extra syllable, not to mention having to correct people who would shorten our name anyway. We have only goodwill and best wishes for the Michaels, and support them in their decision, for theirs is a tougher road.
But, make no mistake, if push were to come to shove, we Mike Upchurches are a wily bunch, and we'd have no problem taking on and defeating those effete muffin-eating Michael Upchurches. But, let's put the rancor behind us, and celebrate a couple Michael Upchurches, who have done the Upchurch name well:
First Upchurch in America
The first Upchurch in America
was Michael Upchurch. He was born in Essex England in
1620, and immigrated to the New World from Gidding, England to Virginia in
Colonial America, where he eventually became a tobacco farmer. In 1673, he
and 14 fellow members of the Lawnes Creek Parish Church took part in
the
first
organized
tax revolt
in North
American
history. The "Lawne's Creek Insurrection" is probably the most
significant tax revolt in US history, but it was upstaged a few years later
by another
tax
revolt
that
involved
the gimmick
of
dumping tea into a harbor. Michael died at Lawne's Creek in Surray County,
Virginia
in 1681.
He may be buried in the
graveyard
at the
parish church. There are old stones there which cannot be deciphered. Francis
Upchurch (his wife) died in 1691.
Novelist, Literary Critic
Michael Upchurch is a novelist and literary critic. His novels include
"The Flame Forest" (Ballantine Books,1989) and "Passive Intruder" (W.W.
Norton, 1995). Michael's an accomplished writer, whose work has been in
The New York Times, the Washington Post, Chicago Tribune, American Scholar,
Atlantic
Monthly,
San
Francisco
Chronicle
among other
publications. Michael is currently resident Literary Critic for the Seattle
Times. Michael's novels provide an opportunity for all of the folks on this
list to gain unearned status as a "Man of Letters." We can all put his books
on our mantle
to score with the ladies. Hope you don't mind, Michael.
