Just been looking at a will for John Weston (quite sure he is the one who married Lucy Upton), written in 1831, he mentions his son John Weston otherwise Uptain (sic), and two other sons Aaron and Edward.
There a quite a number of sons baptized in Mayfield to John and Lucy.  This supports my theory that John the younger was born before they married, in 1790, as John Weston Upton.

Thank you Ciderdrinker and Hookleg and everyone else for your help.
Am now trying to build a tree, the Mayfield records are on Ancestry.  I have found some overlapping John Westons, so that will need sorting out.
