    Notes 
    • Joseph3 Underwood lived in his native town of Reading until 1715 when he removed to Westford, then a part of Chelmsford, Mass., where he lived the remainder of his life.
            He was one of the signers of the covenant in 1727 and, in 1729, one of the original members of the first church in Westford, Mass.
            He was active in all public affairs and evidently a man of character and ability.
            He owned a large tract of land on the eastern slope of the hill upon which the central village is built, his property extending up to the common.  He was an Inn Holder, as well as a farmer. He was largely interested in the settlement of the town
      of Litchfield, N.H. although he never removed his family to that place.
           His sons, Timothy and James, settled there, however.  His descendants were prominent in the Revolutionary war.  His son Jonathan was a minute man from Suffield, Conn.; another son Timothy was Captain in a company at the battle of Concord; a grandson (the son of Timothy) was a soldier under Gen. Putnam on Long Island before he was 18 years of age; another grandson Jeremy, the son of John, was a Lieutenant at West Point when Arnold's treachery was discovered, and being an artisan, was directed by Gen. Washington to open the trunk that Arnold left behind in his flight.
           His son John was also in the army but was drowned before the Revolutionary war.
           Joseph3 Underwood died in Westford, Mass. Jan. 10, 1761 aged 80. [3]
