  Notes	Johnathan4 Underwood married his cousin Hannah Richardson, and settled in his native town Westford where he lived until his removal to Suffield, Conn., probably about 1760, although his name does not appear upon the records there until 1763. The last record of him in Suffield is in 1773, but he was there later than that being a soldier of the Revolution from Suffield.       In the Adjutant General's record of Continental troops from Conn. his name appears upon the "Lexington Alarm Roll" comprising men who marched to Cambridge upon receipt of the news from Lexington and Concord in April 1775.       He was a member of Capt. Elisha Kent's company of 70 men, all of whom were from Suffield.       After his service as a soldier he removed to Marlboro, Vt. probably in 1776, the first record of him at that place being his election as moderator of a town meeting in 1777. He was selectman and representative to the General Court and many times moderator of town meetings.       His last recorded service in the town of Marlboro was upon a committee to build a court house in Windham County.       His sons Jonathan, John M. and Thadeus, settled in Marlboro, the former taking the freeman's oath in 1778.       Rev. E. Mewton, in his manuscript history of Marlboro, now in the State Historical Library at Montpelier, states that in an Indian scare Nov. 1, 1780, the citizens of Marlboro fled from home and passing the house of Jonathan Underwood, urged him to flee with them.  This he declined to do and went into his sugar house, built a fire and heated his large kettles full of water determined to fight the Indians single handed with hot water.       The alarm proved to be a false one, however, and the next day the frightened inhabitants returned to their homes unmolested, and the hot water was never used.  Jonathan Underwood and his wife Hannah both died in Marlboro, Vt. the former on Oct. 1, 1794 aged 78, and the latter on May 26, 1813 aged 95 years.        Hannah Richardson, wife of Jonathan Underwood, was his cousin, being the daughter of Daniel and Hannah (Underwood) Richardson, her mother being a sister of Joseph2 Underwood, her husband's father.        Her father, Daniel3 Richardson was the son of John2 and Rebecca (Clark) Richardson and grandson of John1 and Hannah (Truair) Richardson.        Hannah Underwood was born at Medway, Mass. Dec. 25, 1718. Was a minute man from Suffield, Conn. a member of Capt. Elisha Kent's company of 70 men, all from Suffield. [3]
