    3. Searching for descendants of James Underwood, long lost great uncle that lived in Texas. Background: Looking for info on a James Underwood b. ca 1865 in TN that left Blount County, Alabama as a young man in the around 1900 and went to TEXAS. Family stories relate that he came back to Blount County to see relatives in the mid 1930s. One James Underwood, son of Dolphus Underwood and Chili Covington, both of Bartow County Ga. in 1870. In the 1870 Census, James Underwood b. 1865 in Tn is in the household with Chili Covington, (dau of Andrew Jackson Covington.) Dolphus Underwood aka D. E. or Dolphus Ervin Underwood is also listed but only Chili as the head of household.. (Also found that a Ervin/Irwin Underwood married Chili Covington on March 9,1865 in Cherokee Co.) A message on the message boards resulted in a response from "Carol in Texas" with the following info: A search on Ancestry.com for James (A.) Underwood, 1920. I got 13 hits, but none born in Georgia. One w/m b. in Tennessee 1866. His age in 1920 is listed as age 55. He was living in Sunset, Montague County, TX. His father is born in "United States" & mother born in Georgia. Wife- Charlotte, 61, born Alabama Daughter- Mildred, 19, born Texas Information located on line 80, sheet 4B (4401), enumeration district 107 Montague Co., Tx, Census 1920 An item in the Blount County, Alabama marrieage records shows that a James Underwood m. Charlotte Handley 04 Sept 1884. I believe this James Underwood likely to be a long lost brother of my Grandfather Albert Henry Underwood d. 1980 that lived in Blount, Winston and then Walker County Alabama. Any information will be greatly appreciated. Harold in Florida.
