Individual Details
William UNDERWOOD
(1606 - 1637)
From England, Sir William Bekkeley granted William Underwood gentleman, 1400 acres near Rapahanook River in 1650
Capt. William Underwood of Isle of Wight and Lancastershire. Member of the House of Burgess in 1632. This generation and his children is conjecture on my part from traditions passed down in this family combined with patterns of early Underwoods living in America. It's entirely possible that the family that includes William as a child is simply a different branch of Underwoods that does not include our Thomas directly. However, as they have his first wife marrying him in 1621 and they do not have any listed children before 1629, I'm suggesting that Thomas and George also belong in this family. They came over on the same ship at the same time... and both disappeared from Old Rappahonnak Co, VA records after their arrival. There is a tradition passed down in the family that Thomas was one of 3 brothers that migrated together, with all 3 dispersing in different directions after they arrived. Margaret Mason, his wife, married John Upton after William's death. John Upton's will only names their children William, Elizabeth, Sarah and Margaret Underwood which accounts for all the children still living in the area except for Mary.
