Does anyone know anything about the Samuel UNDERHILL, husband of Phebe DODGE? Her father, Jeremiah DODGE, mentioned them in his 1774 Will. The Will was proved in 1780.
I am researching my gggg grandfather, Stephen SANDS. Stephen was born about 1761. I don't know who his parents were. I am trying to document if Stephen is the grandson Stephen SANDS mentioned in the 1774 Will. I am guessing that Phebe's sister, the mother of Stephen the grandson, is dead by 1774 and her son is mentioned in her place in the Will.
My gggg grandfather, Stephen SANDS, was a Loyalist during the Revolutionary War. According to the British Archives website his military service began in 1776 when he was about 15. Stephen shows up on Robert McCrea's company of Queen's Rangers in 1780. Stephen went to New Brunswick after the War.
Abstracts of Wills (New York) Volume IX 1777-1783, p. 286:
In the year of our Lord Christ 1774, the 31 day of March. I, Jeremiah DODGE, of Cow Neck, in Queens County, do make this my last Will. All debts to be paid by my executors.
I leave to my wife Elizabeth my best bed and furniture in my house, and all her wearing apparell, and all effects she had from her brother Robert SUTTON's estate, and one-half of my movable estate upon condition that she stands to the will.
I leave to my daughter, Phebe UNDERHILL, 1/2 of my movable estate, on condition that Samuel UNDERHILL first pays to my estate oe5 which he oweth to me.
And that oe5 is to be paid to my grandson Stephen SANDS, when of age.
I leave the rest of my movable estate to my daughter, Mary DAVENPORT, to be kept by my executors and paid to her as they think she wants. My farm is to be sold by my executors.
My three sons, Jeremiah, William, and Robert, are to pay to their mother oe3 each yearly. I leave to my son Jeremiah my wearing apparell and 1/3 of the money from the sale of my farm. And he is to pay the bonds I am bound for him. My son Jeremiah is to have 20 shillings for his heirship. I leave to my son William 1/3 of the money from sale of farm, and he is to pay to the rest of his brothers oe2 10s. for value he has received. I leave to my son Robert 1/3.
