I have very limited information about the Achilles UNDERWOOD I'm researching.

The only information I have is that he was from Michigan. He was in Fiji in the South Pacific by 1862 where he had cotton plantations. He died 1871 in Fiji.

I'm trying to find a link between my ancestor Achilles UNDERWOOD and Mary FAY's son Achilles UNDERWOOD.

Mary FAY b. 25 June 1796 to Timothy FAY and Phila PHILLIPS in Stafford Township, Tolland County, Connecticut d. 1842, NY

Mary had children from Elias WEDGE, Peter HOWARTH and Unknown UNDERWOOD.

In Timothy FAY's will (Mary FAYs father) from 1846, Mary's children are listed as:

Over 21:
William WEDGE of North East, Erie County, Pennsylvania
John WEDGE of Fairhold, Warren County, Pennsylvania

Under 21:
Sally WEDGE of Chautauqua County
George HOWARTH of Chautauqua County
Martha HOWARTH of Chautauqua County
Mary HOWARTH of Chautauqua County
Elsie HUNT nee HOWARTH of Erie County, Pennsylvania
Achilles UNDERWOOD of Homer, Lenawee County, Michigan
James UNDERWOOD of Homer, Lenawee County, Michigan
Mary UNDERWOOD of Homer, Lenawee County, Michigan
and 4 unnamed UNDERWOODs of Homer, Lenawee County, Michigan

The UNDERWOOD children may have been living with Elias WEDGE in Michigan.
