Underwood and Hester A. On the 1870 census she is married to M. Belcher but it shows 2 daughters named Underwood. Where did they come from? Are they hers? Their correct names are Malinda (sometimes I see Adaway or Clara as middle name, both names have come down through the family) and Araminta Octavia (Minty). Araminta was my great-great grandmother. I know all from her down but nothing back including the parents of those girls. Araminta married Noah Peter Russell. There was another Mishel Underwood, same birth year, Floyd Co. married Jesse Underwood. Much confusion. But I'm sure your Hester & mine are the same because of the census. It really is exciting to see any info. for which I thank you. Lois906@msn.com Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
