Underhill, "a worthy and prominent member of the society of Friends^ who sustained throughout a useful and protracted life, an unsuUied reputation." Abraham I. Underhill, who died on the 5th of May, 1841, aged 78 years, was the second son of Isaac Underhill, fourth in descent from John Underhill of Oyster Bay. L. I. In the old family mansion which stands one mile south of this spot, (on the Pine's Bridge road) is shown the room where xMajor Andre and Joshua H. Smith breakfasted on the 23d of September, 17S0. At this period, the house was occupied by Isaac Underhill and Sarah his wife,« who appears to have been a woman of good resolution and courage ; whilst engaged in entertainin- Andic and his companion, she took particular notice of the former-- .and imagined she read in his confusion, a person embarrassed in some great undertaking. A few days previous to this event, Mrs. Underhill had visited head-quarters to recover some cattle carried off by a band of marauders.

This lady was the daughter of Robert Field, whose nephew John was a resident of Yorktown. The following notice of the death of Moses Field, (son of John) occurs in the Xew York A»ierican of Oct. 25, 1S33 :

"Died at Peekskill, on the i8th inst., Moses Field of this city, a^ed fifty-three years. The poor could not have sustained a greater loss in an individnal. No man had more enlarged and perseverin.rr benevolence m feedmg the hungry, clothing t.he naked and providing for tl'.e sick. His greatest happmess appeared to be, to mitigate the 'suffering and relieve the wants of the virtuous poor."
