Notes for Benjamin Underwood:
Just a couple of things on the early Underwoods -- I am still reserving judgment on whether Benjamin was the son of Samuel of Chatham Co., NC.It seems plausible, but I haven't seen any proof, and since there were other Underwood families in Virginia, he could have come from elsewhere.Also, Benjamin died July 21, 1778 in Yohogania County, Virginia, now Greene County, Pennsylvania.Mary Crow Underwood Hansbrough died in 1818 in Shelby Co. KY.Is there a citation somewhere for the 1762 marriage date?It was probably around that time, based on the birthdate of son John, but has anyone found a marriage record? [e-mail from Sarah Barker [email protected]]
Several sources show Benjamin as the son of Samuel Underwood and Ann Travilla.
| Notes for Mary Crow: Mary was the oldest child of Walter and Ann.She was married to Benjamin Underwood and had five children.They lived in Yohogania County, now Greene County, Pennsylvania, where both are listed as possible founding members of the Goshen Baptist Church.Benjamin went to Kentucky in 1776 and marked out a claim of 1000 acres but he was never to settle on it as he died in 1778.Hehad a drinking problem as evidenced in the church minutes, but it's not known how he died. Mary and her children went to Kentucky in the year 1779 as part of Jacob Van Meter's flotilla from Fort Pitt to Louisville.Jacob was another possible founding member of the Goshen Church.Once in Kentucky the Van Meters (who would show up in our Crow family in a later generation) and Mary and her children went east and settled at Squire Boone's Station near present-day Shelbyville.She is listed as the Widow Underwood and one of the first settlers at the station, which was also called Painted Stone Station.Morias Hansbrough (various spellings are found of this surname) was also among the original group of settlers at the station and he and Marywere probably married there in 1780. Mary's son John Underwood in 1780 claimed the 1000 pre-emption of land that his father had marked in 1776, with William Crow acting as his representative. In April 1781 Boone's Station was attacked by Simon Girty and a party of Indians.Thomas Hansbrough was killed and Mary's son John Underwood was taken captive.He was held for about two years and eventually made his way back to Kentucky.Abraham Van Meter (Jacob's son) was shot in the hip and died three days later.Squire Boone (dressed in only a long white shirt) was shot by Girty, and when John came home he said that Simon Girty had boasted about making Squire Boone's shirt fly. In September 1781 the settlers were warned of impending Indian trouble.They decided to seek shelter at a station closer in to Louisville.At a creek called Long Run between Louisville and Shelbyville the settlers were ambushed and two Hansbrough sisters (probably Morias' daughters from his first marriage) were killed. In present-day Shelbyville there's a re-enactment of the Long Run Massacre and Mary is portrayed in this re-enactment. [Crow family Web site freepages.genealogy.rootsweb.com/~crow2000 5/20/02] Mary married Benjamin Underwood about 1762.He was killed in the Revolutionary War and Mary then moved on to Virginia and Kentucky.
