    3. This is information on another Warren County family that can be traced to colonial times... · The Prouty Family Jennie M. Prouty (my grandmother's mother) was descended from another colonial family, beginning with immigrant Richard Prouty, whose path, at least in part, likely followed others who immigrated to Warren County in the early 1800s: --Richard Prouty (Abt 1653 - 1708), the Immigrant, m. Damaris Torrey. Richard immigrated to Scituate by at least 1670, and probably arrived at age 14 in 1667. Richard served in King Philip’s War in the mid 1670’s, Scituate had suffered "terribly from swift attacks by the wily savages." Recognized for valiant service, he was rewarded with land on a number of occasions for his war service. --Issac Prouty (1689 - 1754) m. Elizabeth Merritt --James Prouty (1730 - 1813) m. Mary Dunsmore --Amos Prouty (1766 - 1841) m. Phebe Bartlett (dau. of John Bartlett), Amos enlisted in the Continental Army for a term of three years or the duration of the War, receiving bounty from the town of Spencer 7 June 1782. He moved to Marlboro, Vermont in 1784. Certainly both the Underwoods and the Proutys of Marlboro were well associated at this time. --Abel Prouty (1788 - 1867) m. Lydia Prouty (1784 - 1846). Born in Marlboro, this couple of first cousins would move west to Warren County, in much the same pattern as Oliver Underwood (my great, great, great grandfather). --Charles Eases Prouty (1821 - 1881) m. Adelia Tripp (Abt 1829 - 1908) --Jennie Prouty (1864 - 1896) m. Simeon Crandell Herrick (1859 - 1934). They had one child, Mary Grace. --Mary Grace Herrick (1887 - 1978) m. Orange Henry Underwood (my grandfather) (1884 - 1981) Bob Underwood Phnom Penh, Cambodia
