  Jael Shippe Underwood BIRTH1692 Richmond County, Virginia, USA DEATH1761 (aged 68? 69) Rollins Fork, King George County, Virginia, USA BURIALNon-Cemetery Burial MEMORIAL ID175712039 ? View Source MEMORIAL PHOTOS 0 FLOWERS 0 Jael SHIPPE (SHIPP / SHIPPE / SHIPPEY / SHIPPY) was born c.1692 in Richmond Co., VA, and died in c. 1761 in Brunswick Parish, King George Co., VA. But the county and parish lines in this part of the Northern Neck have changed several times, so it is unclear where exactly her birth and death locations would be on a modern map. Jael was the daughter of Richard SHIPPE and Ellenor MOTT. Jael SHIPPE married William UNDERWOOD on 16 Dec 1714, according to a contemporary family Bible record. (Since Jael could not write, maybe most of the entries were made by William himself?) This marriage ceremony would have likely been performed in the bounds of Richmond County at that time. According to the same Bible record, William and Jael UNDERWOOD had the following children, with their birthdates: 1) Sarah UNDERWOOD, b: 6 Mar 1716. 2) Thomas UNDERWOOD, b: 12 Nov 1717. 3) William UNDERWOOD, b: 25 Jul 1720. 4) Ellen UNDERWOOD, b: 9 Mar 1723. 5) Lott UNDERWOOD, b: 25 Jun 1724. 6) Zachariah UNDERWOOD, b: 5 May 1726. William UNDERWOOD died on 21 Feb 1726 (1725/26), over two months before the birth of his youngest son. This death date is also recorded in the same family Bible record. Although the cause of his death is unknown, he describes himself as "very sick and weak" in his Last Will, made six days before he died, on 15 Feb 1726 (1725/26). It was probated on 2 Sep 1726, in King George Co., VA; the several month's interval was possibly due to a couple of clauses in the Will that may have had to be worked out before Probate. After only 11 years of marriage, 34-year-old Jael was a widow with five young children between the ages of 1 and 9, with their 6th child on the way. She would be raising them by herself, probably with the help of her own mother Ellenor, who was widowed less than two years earlier. Jael married secondly to Samuel REED (REEDS / REID / REIDS) (c.1690-1750), and they resided in the bounds of Brunswick Parish in King George County during the 1730's-40's. ------------------------------------------------------------ 1743-1752, King George Co., VA, Deed Book 3 (Antient Press), pp 130-131: To all Christian People: We SAMUEL REIDS & JAEL his Wife, Brunswick Parish King George County,:n consideration love towards WILLIAM UNDERWOOD Son of said Jael by WILLIAM UNDERWOOD late of said County former Husband of said Jael ... have granted ... 100 acres in King George County bounded ... corner tree of tract belonging to Colo.
