| | Life and Activities of Capt. John Underhill |
 | | The English Ancestry of Capt. John Underhill has been established back to and including Hugh Underhill, keeper of the wardrobe to Queen Elizabeth in Greenwich Palace, examined, and passed, by the College of Arms in London and traced to armigerous Underhills of Ettington in Warkickshire and their predecessors of the thirteenth century. |
 | | Helena, wife of Capt John Underhill, did not join the church until 15, 10 mo., 1633, probably because of her inability to speak the English language and on the 29, 10 mo., 1633, their maid, Margery Hinds, became a member. |

John took a prominent part in the punitive expedition to Block Island and he was the eleventh signer on the original roll of membership of The Ancient and Honorable Artillery Company of Boston in 1637, although they did not receive their charter until 13 of 1 mo., 1638. |
