Jonas Underwood & Hannah Browning Family
This page is devoted to all of the documents and records collected for the Jonas Underwood family. Jonas was born in Spencer, Worcester County, MA in 1797. Hannah was born in nearby Rutland. They were married in 1824 and lived initially in Spencer on his father's farm. After his father (Reuben Underwood) died, Jonas moved his family to New York. They lived first in Auburn and later Chautauqua. Unfortunately, we do not have any pictures of Jonas or Hannah. The silhouette above was made circa 1820 and was donated to the DAR in Washington D.C.
