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?
