Lucy and Joel were in GA by 1838 when their first GA born child came along. However, the first three children are given NC birthplaces, so if Joel met Lucy in SC, they may have returned to NC, near others of his family, before moving to GA near others of her family. I have not found records of Joel between his birth in NC ca 1805 and his appearance in GA in the 1840 census of Union Co GA. I also know they were in Gilmer Co GA for a while then returned to Cherokee Co NC and ultimately ended up in TN. One of their sons is named Seaborn Underwood and if Lucinda is who I think she is, one of her brothers was Seaborn Loveless. These Lovelesses came from Rutherford Co NC/Spartanburg Co SC to Pendleton Co SC (and perhaps some other stops in between) and from Pendleton went to GA sometime between 1820 and 1830. Lou Ann

I, too, have only recently started working on my UNDERWOODS, and they seem to have come from Va to Union Co., SC, where I found them in 1790. Two brothers, John and Annet, were there. John d. 1808, Union Co., SC, and Annet came w/his family to Pickens Dist. bef. the 1830 census. Annet must have d.c1839 as he wit. a deed in 12/1838, but he is not in the 1840 census. I am trying to tie sisters Sinia & Matilda to Annet as his daughters. They married SHERIFF brothers, Nathan and Washington, in Pickens Dist. I am also looking for burial places, too. Thanks!
