  Notes	Susanna Underwood, wife of Capt. Simeon Adams, was born in Westford, Mass. in 1747 and was about 16 years old when her family removed to Suffield, Conn. where two years later she married Capt. Adams, who was 23 years her senior.  She was a remarkable woman in many respects. Tall, with a large frame, a complexion almost swarthy, and a commanding presence, she was eminently fitted to be the helpmeet of the rugged soldier and pioneer whose wife she was.        She was an intellectual and witty as well as a muscular woman and many stories are told of her.  Two tramps came to her house once and finding no one but a woman, sat down to the table and demanded dinner. She seized the long handled shovel from the fireplace and advancing, threatened to brain them if they hesitated about leaving.  They quickly left.         Her life covered the period of the Revolution in which her father served as an American soldier.  She was a generous and kind hearted woman, and fed and sheltered many Revolutionary soldiers after the war, when, poor and unpaid, they came to her door.         Once when one called and asked for food, she asked him from what place he came, and he rather impudently replied, "from Heaven." "Go on then" she at once replied, "If you came from Heaven you surely need no earthly food,"----and on he went.         The Underwood family seem to have been witty.  Susanna's brother. Thadeus, had a son Richard, who was a favorite because of his wit and ability to make rhymes and for that reason was much in demand in parties and other gatherings in Marlboro and vicinity.         It is probably that the facetiousness and ready wit of some members of the Halladay family have descended to them from their ancestors on the Underwood side.         Susanna Underwood Adams died at Marlboro, Vt. Sept. 14, 1845 at the great age of 98 years.         The following article from the Vermont Phoenix of Sept. 25, 1845 is indicative of the esteem in which she was held.         "Died at Marlboro, Vt. on the 14th instant Susanna Adams, aged 98 years. She survived her husband 42 years and buried 41 of her descendants.  Her posterity consisted of 7 children, 38 grandchildren, 127 great grandchildren and 11 great-great grandchildren, who number 183.         There are now living in different parts of the country 142 of her descendants to remember her virtues and her delight in their prosperity. Mrs. Adams was born in Medway, Conn. in 1747. (This is wrong as she was born in Westford, Mass.  Her mother was born in Medway, Mass.). In the early days of Vermont she came with her husband to this new country to endure its hardships and reap its prospective rewards.  She was remarkable for the strength of her memory as well as her bodily vigor and energy of character; she could sympathize with the afflicted and with a benevolent heart open the door of charity to the needy, but time in its flight bears the strongest as well as the oldest to the grave. The bell strikes one, we take no note of time, But from its loss, to give it then a tongue Is wise in man, as if an angel spoke, I feel the solemn sound." [4]
