p 14 - Thomas Underwood (circa 1740-January 29, 1815) was a resident of St. Martin's Parish, Hanover County in 1763, and testified as a witness in the Dandridge-Littlepage Election Contest before the Committee of Privileges and Elections of the House of Burgesses. (Journal of the House of Burgesses, 26 Nov., 1764)
He testified at that time that he lived "in the upper part of the said County of Hanover, about 25 miles above the sitting member" (Mr. Littlepage). It is believed that his home was the brick house on the PinHook Road leading from Vontary to Goochland lately owned by V.T. Bowles and now owned by Miss Mary Elizabeth Cochran. Later he moved to Goochland and represented that County in the House of Delegates in the Sessions of 1777, 1778, 1780, 1781, 1785, 1784-85, 1785-86, 1786-87, 1787-88, 1789 and 1790. ...
After the death of Colonel Nathaniel West Dandridge, he married his widow, Jane Pollard Dandridge. They had no issue. After his marriage to Mrs. Dandridge, he moved to the Dandridge place on Allen's Creek adjoining the present Rockville High School property, which was a part of this place, and there he died the 29th of January, 1815. ...
