Hi Don, I have not investigated the Underwood you mentioned, but here is a possible link. John R. Phillips' grandson St. Clair Howell married Lenora Underwood. Clair was partially raised by John R. after his father went missing and his mother Susanne Phillips Howell died. Clair was my great uncle.

Phillips. According to records I found, when the First Alabama Cavalry, USA went through Marion County on a raid in Oct., 1863, they took a whole lot of food, etc. from Mr. Underwood. Later, one of Alex Underwood's survivors filed to the Southern Claims Commission to be reimbursed for the things taken from his farm by the Union army but was turned down because of Alex's known loyalties to the Confederacy. Apparently, Alex was dead by the time the claim was filed. Does anyone know the death date for Alex Underwood and the circumstance of his death? > > > ------------------------------- > To unsubscribe from the list, please send an email to ALMARION-request@rootsweb.com with the word 'unsubscribe' without the quotes in the subject and the body of the message >
