Hullo everyone This is my first posting to the list. A few years back I was researching the SYPHERS/ SYFFERS/ CYPHERS family, mainly in Orange County, but never got around to looking at the female lines of my SYPHERs connections: GGGGGG Grandparents: Lea BUYS married Johannis SYFFER GGGGG Grandparents: Agie (Effie) MABIE m. Petrus SYFFER GGGG Grandparents: Tamar UNDERHILL m. Peter SYPHERS I started looking and WOW! What a feast of information is out there. I have put together what I assume is my UNDERHILL line, and would love any corrections, and any advice on finding primary sources to support my findings. Hugh UNDERHILL m. ?? Thomas UNDERHILL m. Magdalen AMYAS John UNDERHILL m. Honor PAWLEY John UNDERHILL m. Elizabeth FEAKE Nathaniel UNDERHILL m. Mary FERRIS Nathaniel UNDERHILL m. Mary HUNT Bartow UNDERHILL m. Sarah (Unknown??) Tamar UNDERHILL m Peter SYPHERS Henry Lamberston SYPHERS m. Eliza HUNT John Woodruff SYPHERS m. Mary Ann REAL John Woodruff SYPHERS sailed from New York as a crew member, and after England and India, arrived and jumped ship in Sydney, Australia in 1848 - explaing how this message is coming from Australia!! I have emailed three different contacts listed on the Underhill Society webpage, and completed the online lineage chart, however I have had no replies to my enquiries. Is this an active society? I have the Death Certificate of John Woodruff SYPHERS, stating his parents were Henry Lamberston SYPHERS and Eliza HUNT. I visited the record keeper for the Presbyterian Church, Bethlehem, Orange County, NYS, and photographed Henry and Eliza's marriage record dated 9 January 1823. (Henry is indexed as TYFFERT, however looking at the writing of the other entries it is SIFFERTH) Eliza died 2 June 1835 and is buried in the Vails Gate Cemetery (adjoins the Methodist Church at New Winsor). with her baby son William Henry SYPHERS who died 26 September 1835. Henry's second wife was Abigail DAVIS. I have found the demise of Henry through Abigail's pension papers, and have connected Henry to his parents Tamar UNDERHILL and Peter SYPHERS through "THE FAMILY OF JOHANNIS SYFFER OF PHILIPSE MANOR" by Francis Jacques SYPHER Jr ( Reprinted from: The New York Genealogical and Biographical Record, Vol 103, January 1972) but from there, my information is from online sources. I will do a separate enquiry for Bartow UNDERHILL, otherwise we will have a long email. Can anyone access the Underhill Genealogy volumes to check my lineage above please?? And any thoughts, suggestions, assistance, connections or sources would be greatly appreciated. Cheers Marg Smith Mardi, NSW Australia
