She was born about 1780 in Piermont, Grafton County, New Hampshire, and died 15 October 1855 in Aurora, Erie County, New York. They had five children.
Amos and Mary (Metcalf) Underhill are my 4th great-grandparents, through their daughter Mary Ann Underhill (1815-1882) who married Samuel Vaux (1816-1880) in 1839.
NOTE: I found this land record using the FamilySearch Full-Text Search, and used the AI transcribed text as the basis for the transcription of the printed form and handwritten portions. Editing of the AI transcribed text was necessary in places. I crafted the source citation using Evidence Explained 4th Edition standards rather than using the source citation provided by the Full-Text Search engine.
