| Anecdote |
- Assumptions on the parents of Sorrowful Ruth Underhill - Her grandfather Peter Cemens died in 1721 in N'hamp Co and her grandmother Ann Clemens was living in N'hamp Co in 1741 when she bought 107 acres of tract A121 near Modest Town. Ann Clemens died in 1751 in Acc Co and left this 107 acres to daughter Jane Brook Clemens, with first revision to son Stephen Clemens, and a final reversion to her grandchild Sorrowful Ruth Underhill, who died by 1784 leaving this 107 acres to her heirs. Ruth's unknown mother, who married an Underhill, was evidently born in N'hamp Co before her father died in 1721 and was probably still in N'hamp Co when her mother Ann Clemens bought the above land. Therefore, she evidently married one of the N'hamp Underhills and Ruth was the daughter of one of the N'hamp Underhills. The most logical choice of the known N'hamp Underhills seems to be Michael Underhill II who was last noted as alive in 1748 in N'hamp Co. This is also based on the assumption that Ruth was probably an only child as her grandmother Ann Clemens named only her as a grandchild in her will. When looking at the known Accomack Underhills, there doesn't seem to be a logical choice. She was the right age to be a sister of Micajah (b.c. 1735) and Capt. William (b.c. 1750), the assumed sons of Salathiel. However, the Rev. War bounty land for the service of Capt. William Underhill went to the children of his brother Micajah, saying they were the only heirs of Capt. William Underhill, implying there were no other living relatives, thus eliminating Ruth Underhill as one of the Accomack Underhills.
