 Genealogy of the Lupo Family: North Carolina
On two of the land grants William received in 1793 and 1794, John Lupo is listed as a chain bearer and on the NC state census of 1784-87 and the US Census of 1790, William does have a male in his household, presumably his son, the right age to have been John.
The William Lupo who appears in Montgomery County records disappears around 1804, and it appears that John names a son William who is between 10 and 16 in 1820 and therefore probably not the William in earlier Montgomery County records.
William Lupo has not been found on the census in Houston County, so it is possible he lived with his father or in-laws prior to his death.

 Bruce Sterling Book Reviews
Sterling's science fiction is characterized by a keen appreciation for social forces and the increasingly intimate relationship between things seen and unseen (the latter being anything from genetically tailored microbes to omnipresent cultural agendas).
Sterling creates a marvelous landscape peopled by bizarre posthuman factions and lurking, profit-hungry aliens; his vision constitutes one of the most interesting futures in science-fiction.
Sterling's unflinching willingness to explore (and break) new ground propels him to the forefront of postmodern science-fiction, and "Holy Fire" is no exception to his canon.

Sterling supposedly belongs in the science fiction category called "cyberpunk", but this book lacks the love of violence and the erotic fetishism of technology that other cyberpunk writers (hello William Gibson!) have.
Bruce Sterling's Heavy Weather is not his best book, but it is fun, and is the only book I've found that focuses on the thrill seeking types of people who follow big stormy weather, especially tornadoes.
This is what Sterling does best: he takes a single interesting idea, and plays it out to its logical conclusion.
