Seeking the children and spouse of Emanuel UNDERWOOD. He was in the Franklin Co, VA 1810, 1820, 1830 and 1840 census records, but evidently died before the 1850 census, and I've not been able to determine the names of his many children. My ancestor is Ellen(der) UNDERWOOD b 1825 in Franklin Co; m William MITCHELL and they are together in the Floyd Co 1850 census - which is where I got her birth date and place. I've checked all the UNDERWOODs in 1820, 1830 and 1840 in Franklin Co and found 5 with females born about 1825. I've ruled out all but Emanuel - so he must be the father. I'd really like to link up with some other descendants... The UNDERWOOD-L is very helpful on every other UNDERWOOD, but no one seems to know much about Emanuel other than he was one of the many children of Samuel and Misniah UNDERWOOD. Has anyone seen a will or estate settlement for Emanuel, or a marriage of an UNDERWOOD widow about 1845?? Hope to hear from some cousins...
