Hi Brian, That Underwood street was named after Joseph Underwood. His wife's maiden name was (Ellen) Roscoe, which is how the town got its name. The biography that you read was added along with many others from visitors to the website. My connections to the Underwood family are very distant. An outline is given below showing all the Underwoods in my tree. (My connection is through the Qualk family). The mailing list for the Mon Valley, which works in conjunction with the website has over 300 subscribers, and I know there are a few that have more information on the Underwoods. You can join the mailing list from the home page of the Mon Valley Site. I've forwarded your message, and this response to the list. Perhaps someone else can help you more than I. Here is that outline: Descendants of Joseph Underwood 1 Joseph UNDERWOOD . +Jane WHATMUGH ... 2 Joseph UNDERWOOD b: June 18, 1834 in England d: 1914 in Roscoe, Washington Co., PA ....... +Ellen ROSCOE ......... 3 Thomas J.
