These Underhills were Quakers and they are listed in William Wade Hinshaw's, "Encyclopedia of American Quaker Genealogy", Volume I, which you can find in many libraries.John Underhill is listed in the "Colonial Records of North Carolina", and he's also listed in the 1790 census of Randolph County, North Carolina. They belonged to the Lost Creek Monthly Meeting, Jefferson County, TN, and many different Monthly Meetings in Guilford and Randolph Counties, North Carolina. John, Sr. and Hannah belonged to Monthly Meetings in Warren and Miami Counties, Ohio. Some of the children lived in Wayne County, Indiana.John, the father, died about 1814, a member of Mill Creek Monthly Meeting, Miami County, Ohio
(at least that's the way I understand it, reading from Hinshaw's Encyclopedia);some researchers say he died in Wayne County, Indiana. Our library only has one of the two Volumes of Ohio (Hinshaw), so I can't double-check it right now.Does anyone have documentation of John, the father, of being from Warwickshire?His parents, I understand, are Joseph Underhill and Martha Oldham, who were married at East Nottingham Monthly Meeting, Chester County, Pennsylvania.My records aren't available right now, so I can't give the date.Joseph Underhill's father was John Underhill of Cecil County Maryland, who died in 1760;according to his will, Joseph had died previously.There's also some information on this family in the "International Genealogical Index" (IGI) of the LDS/Mormon Library.Also, you can check The Underhill Society Library for more information. This is really a difficult family to trace.Good luck to all of you researchers out there!
