UNDERWOOD
Joseph Underwood, my 9th great grandfather,
came to America with his brother, Thomas, and first settled in Hingham about
1637. They removed to Watertown about
1645, where Joseph was admitted as a freeman. He married Martha Wilder, who had
come from England with her widowed mother, a brother and a sister in 1638. She gave him seven children before she died
in 1658, and he remarried to Mary Howe of Dorchester, the daughter of Abraham Howe.
My 8th great grandfather was Joseph
Underwood, Jr. (about 1650 – 1691). His
wife was Elizabeth Bond, who survived him and remarried to William Bull in
1693. My 7th great
grandmother is their daughter, Sarah (1687 – 1757) who married John Bullen in
1709.
