General Notes: Husband - James Underwood


He learned the trade of a coverlet weaver, making old-fashioned but beautiful bed clothing. He followed his trade until thirty years of age. The increasing use of machinery then obliged him to abandon the business, and he learned ship carpentry in the yards at Brownsville, Pennsylvania.
