NOTE:  Could Lucinda be Syntha UNDERWOOD listed with Willis UNDERWOOD on the 1880 Census?  I am thinking that maybe they called her Cindy and Willis' wife Polly (Mary) assumed her real name was Cynthia.

NOTE:  Joel is on the last line of one page and Lucinda starts the first line of the next page.  They are suppose to be together.  So do they live in Beaverdam or Murphy?  1850 Census is Murphy.

NOTE:  Murphy, Cherokee, North Carolina and Union County, Georgia are just over the border from each other.  So if Willis UNDERWOOD was born in Kentucky, this family is not likely to be his.
