Thomas Underdown (1674-1758)

Thomas could read and write because he was clerk of Northleigh Parish at the time of his death. He appears to have dropped the 'e' used at the end of his father's surname.

Northleigh is a parish consisting of a few scattered houses, 4 miles south-east from Honiton station on the main line of the London and South Western railway, and 20 east from Exeter, in the Eastern division of the country, Colyton hundred, Honiton petty sessional division, union and county court district, rural deanery of Dunkeswell and Honiton, and archdeoconry and diocese of Exeter. The church of St Giles is a building of stone, chiefly in the Perpendicular style. The font is Norman. There are 150 sittings. The register of baptisms dates from the year 1700; marriages, 1708; burials 1697…

Samuel, who married Joan Warren, 5/12/1749 in Northleigh, may also have been a child of this family.
