UNDERWOOD, Phineas, Virginia Enquirer, October 14, 1909
Phineas Underwood was born in the year 1763 in Vermont. His father and two brothers had served in the American Revolution and when Phineas was eighteen, he enlisted at Putney, Vermont, in March, 1781, serving under Josiah Fish. He served ten months. As a widower in 1826, he came to Illinois with his son, Phineas, Jr. and family, headed for the Military Tract between the Illinois and Mississippi rivers, where he intended to enter government land with his soldier land warrant. While passing through Morgan County, he was so pleased with the land here that he concluded his journey, going no futher. On November 24, 1826, he settled two and one half miles northwest of Virginia, in Cass County. The Underwoods came ten years before Dr. Hall laid out the town of Virginia, in Cass County. The old soldier lived on this land until 1844 when he died at the age of eighty one, leaving a son, Phineas, Jr., and a daughter, Rachel. The body was laid to rest in the old Halsey Smith burial ground, three miles west of Virginia. Phineas Underwood, Jr., his wife, and one of their sons were also buried in this old cemetery. Other members of the family were interred nearby, buy when a granddaughter, Rachel Anderson, died April 3, 1901, at the age of sixty-seven, her children purchased a lot in Walnut Ridge cemetery in Virginia. The children of Rachel Anderson consented to the body being removed to that plot. The head of the DAR in Springfield, IL manifested a great interest in his removal and agreed to apply for a U.S. Government marker for the grave. The Virginia GAR contributed to the cost of the removal. The remains now lie in Walnut Ridge cemetery. (Halsey Smith cemetery is better known as Powell cemetery.)
