Generation: 1

  1. 1.  William Underwood was born 3 May 1779 (son of Samuel Underwood and Susannah Tripp).

Generation: 2

  1. 2.  Samuel Underwood was born 29 Jan 1756, South Kingstown, RI (son of William Underwood and Susannah Knowles); died Jan 1830, South Kingstown, RI.

    Notes:

    UNDERWOOD Samuel, at South Kingstown, aged 75 years, Patriot of Jan. 30, 1830

    I am wondering if Mary Hill was Samuel's second wife because the estimated birth dates of some of the children seem to be before her childbearing years.

    Samuel married Susannah Tripp Abt 1773. Susannah (daughter of Pedigreene Tripp and Susannah Sherman) was born Abt 1753. [Group Sheet]


  2. 3.  Susannah Tripp was born Abt 1753 (daughter of Pedigreene Tripp and Susannah Sherman).
    Children:
    1. Perigrine Underwood was born Abt 1775.
    2. 1. William Underwood was born 3 May 1779.
    3. John S. Underwood was born Abt 1785.
    4. Samuel Underwood was born Abt 1793.

Generation: 3

  1. 4.  William Underwood was born 23 Feb 1718/19.

    William married Susannah Knowles 1743. [Group Sheet]


  2. 5.  Susannah Knowles
    Children:
    1. 2. Samuel Underwood was born 29 Jan 1756, South Kingstown, RI; died Jan 1830, South Kingstown, RI.

  3. 6.  Pedigreene Tripp was born 19 Aug 1725, Exeter, RI (son of Job Tripp, Jr. and Sarah Weeden); died Abt 1799.

    Notes:

    His name may have been Peregrine. It is Pedigreene in his father's will.

    The name is passed down in the family and is spelled variously as Peregrine, Peregreene, Perigreen, Pedegreen, Pedigreen(e), Peddegreene, Perrygreen, and Petegren.

    From the Exeter Town Council records: "Pedigreen Tripp of Exeter yeoman and Susannah Tripp wife of said [PT] . . . land to my father Job Tripp . . . land my grandfather Job Tripp gave to my father in his will . . . my brother Peleg . . . " dated 25 Feb 1758

    Also in the Exeter town records, Peddegreene Tripp and wife Martha signed deeds on 14 April 1780 and again in 1785. This may be a second marriage for Pedigreene, although dates on the gravestones suggest Susannah died in 1778 (S. Tripp, see family burial lot findagrave.com).

    There is a marriage record at Richmond for a Pedigreen Fry Tripp:
    TRIPP Peregrine Fry, of Exeter, and Martha Boss, of Jeremiah, of Richmond; m. at Richmond by John Webster, Justice, Sept. 14, 1760; Town Page Detail: Marriage (Vol. 1 : Pg. 43), Richmond, RI.

    Is Peregrine Fry Tripp the same individual who married Susannah Sherman? This needs more research.


    If Susannah died before 1760, this Pedigreene may have married Martha Boss in 1760 which case the youngest son would be hers.

    Pedigreene married Susannah Sherman Abt 1748. Susannah was born Abt 1729; died Between 1755 and 1778. [Group Sheet]


  4. 7.  Susannah Sherman was born Abt 1729; died Between 1755 and 1778.

    Notes:

    I am not sure if this date of death belongs to Susannah. Findagrave.com has a date of death as 1778 for S. Tripp.

    If Susannah died before 1760, Pedigreene may have married Martha Boss in 1760 which case the youngest son would be hers.

    Children:
    1. Sarah Tripp was born 1 Oct 1749, Exeter or North Kingstown, RI.
    2. 3. Susannah Tripp was born Abt 1753.
    3. Bridget Tripp was born Abt 1755, Exeter, RI.
    4. Pedigreen Tripp was born 1769; died 26 Oct 1823; was buried , Pedigreen Tripp Lot, Exeter, RI.

    Notes:

    Job was "of Exeter." His will mentions stepmother Elizabeth, so it is not known who his mother is.

    "Doc Job Tripp" is mentioned in the Exeter Town Records of 19 June 1759.

    The will of Job Tripp of Exeter, yeoman, is dtd 18 Dec 1779, prvd 6 May 1782. Besides his "mother-in-law" (stepmother) Elizabeth, he mentions 5 sons: Peleg, Charles, Pedigreene, Benjamin, and Ezekiel; and 5 dtrs: Mehitable Green, Sarah Weight, Anna Mosher, Mary Weeden, and Phebe Boss; also two grandsons, Job Tripp; and Pedigreene Tripp s/o son Pedigreene.
