• Notes

  William was a respected attorney in multiple deed records for this family in Old Rappohanock Co, VA in 1656, and 1657. (C-2394) The following deed applies to the William married to Mary provided by Fran Osborn. "2 Nov 1659. Old Rappahannock. "I, Will UNDERWOOD of Rappahannock County with the consent of Mary my wife," for the sum of 120 pounds Sterling money paid according to the tenor of a contract dated 30th May 1659 conveyed unto Capt. Richard LOES and Rice JONES a plantation lying on the north side of Rappahannock River.....uppermost half of the lowermost half whereof I formerly sold unto ........eads (mutilated) dec'd this land adjoining the land of Coll FAUNTLEROY known by the name of Mangorick and on the eastermost side of Bushwood Creek and runneth for length into the woods NE and by E and by the River NW and by W, to hold the said plantation thereto with all houses, outhouses Edifices thereon erected (the Courthouse excepted), containing 650 acres or thereabouts, and all gardens, orchards and fences ---- unto the said Capt. Richard LOES and Rice JONES. Teste: John CATLETT and Tho. GOODRICH (Vol. 1656-64, p. 70, Rappahannock Records). " This helps support the theory that William is related to Mary Underwood, wife of Moore Fauntleroy as their land was adjoining. There is strong circumstantial evidence that William, Mary, Elizabeth and Margaret are siblings in the deed and will records for Old Rapp. Co., VA and that their mother was named Margaret who had a 2nd husband named Upton.
