About Nathaniel Underhill

A history of the Underhill family compiled in the 1930s states that remains from the Underhill Burial Ground were removed to the cemetery at St. Paul’s Church in Mount Vernon, where some Underhill family members worshipped in the 18th century. However, local historians and preservations believe that, although tombstones from the site were moved to St. Paul’s ca. 1920, the graves are still in the parcel at Adee and Colden avenues. - https://nycemetery.wordpress.com/2018/08/31/underhill-family-burial...
NOTE: Nathaniel's remains were too decomposed to be removed along with his gravestone to St. Paul's. Please see the article reference at the end of this profile for further information.
