Joseph is a son of George, born 1817, and Elizabeth Upton, born 1815, both born in Straffordshire, England. George's job listing looks like "Mason Master." In the 1860 Montevallo TS, Vernon county, Missouri Census they have the following children: George, 20, born Straffordshire, Eng, Mason; Edwin, 17, born New York, Farmer; Matilda, 15, NY; Mark 12, NY; Joseph, 10, NY; Elizabeth, 7, NY; and Emeline, 4, born in Michigan. From the birth places of their children, it appears the family came to the United States between 1840-1843. In 1850 the family is found in New Rochelle, Westchester County, New York.

Joseph B Upton is a single man, working as a lawyer, living in Cedar County, MO, Stockton post office, in the listing of the 1870 Census. He married Nancy "Nannie" Gravely in September 22, 1872, Cedar County, MO.

In 1880 Joseph B, 31, a lawyer, and wife Nannie, 29, are living in Bolivar, Polk County, MO. Their children are: Mattie, 6; Joseph G, 3; and George Mark, 1.

In 1884 and 1888 Joseph was the delegate to the National Republican Convention in Chicago from Polk County, MO. He also ran for Representative to the Fifty first Congress as a Republican. He lost by just four thousand votes to the Democratic candidate John T Heard of Sedalia.
