I am looking for the parents of John Underwood born in 1805 in the area of
what is now Brown County. John and 3 brothers were to have been orphaned and
bound out at an early age. John married Lovica Secrist/Secress around 1824
and was in Hamilton Co. for the birth of at least one son Aaron "Amos" in
1834. The family moved to Decatur Co. IN for about 10 years then maybe back
to OH for a year or so. By 1846 they were in Mahaska Co Iowa where the last
three children were born. In the 1880 census it is stated that John's father
was born in Ire. and his mother was b. in PA
I found an Alexander Underwood in an 1810 tax list for Highland Co. I think
it is possible for him to be John's father. John's first son was Jeremiah
Alexander. Does anyone have any information on John's family and Alexander?
Thanks for any help,
Robin
