I'm a descendent of James Edward Underwood, born and raised in Macon Co. IL I am having a dickens of a time finding any info on his father, John Underwood, before he came to Macon County. I have quite a bit on his wife, Lucy, and would certainly be glad to share that. Are there any other relatives from this Underwood family line that would like to share info? Sorry for the long report below, but it seemed the easiest way to get the names and relationships shared. Thanks!
