J |;'i'some particulars of the death of Eliza Pennington
have already been quoted), mentions Fanny Butter-

able to attehd to her household duties, and recently

y'l'l,!. walked tomeeting at Waynesville, when there were

ji'islfi!! two inches [of snow and the road -was but partly

satisfactory to the committee. The feeling was ex

as we understand, and not calculated to disturb or

^is probable that Samuel*s_father died while he, Sarauerj vwas still in his teens

or before 167^^when"Samuel anOaS slsier;"llHg'abthTwere" sent'to ^1^^

even today. (The Underwood connections with fiie tfeeres (Meares) and Cockey families
should be further ^es^earched.)

Aug^t 30, lesz'ferreceived a warrant for.2^0 aeyes from Heniy Hanglass. He reoeired
another warrant from Henry Hanglass for 22i acres on September 29, 1682. Samuel, in
partnership with his brother-in-law, VaiEiara Cockejri^ received a warrant for 60

acres on June 20. 1683. this l^d being part of a warrant from the said Heniy

Hanglass dated Hay


I683, this latter was out of a warrant for 1250 acres held
by Hanglass (Hanslap). ,This land wa^^in ^the same area as *1'lddle Neck" and "The

Samuel sold laddie Neck to mniara Jones on August

l'68?

October 14^168^.'

(Vfilliam Jones' son-

in-law, Heniy Lexois sold it to Thomas Cockey in 170b^)

A surv^ was made on June 16, I685 to John Grice (Gregg) of 200 acr^s on Brandywine
greek. Christiana Hundred. New Castle county on the DelaT^re.'^(A''^"Hun^r^"'^R^^

sub-di^son of the coimty STTrrilar T.n nn-r TX)\-mship*^ it originated in Englahf^-^nd^

.1692/3 to Samuel Ikideprood^ (This date would be Feburaiyt8rT6y2 by the" Juliaoi
calander then in use.)

"

" I

^ '

These dates establish the time of the move from Marvlant^ to Delav?are, J.lexander
would hgve been 4 or 5 years "old at the time. In "The Friend" Volume om:i, ^e .
34^in a biographical sketch of Alexander Underwoods it states; "Alexander Underwood

was born in the province of Maryland an the year 16b8. jEa^parents were not members r;

of. the^Religous. Society of

removed iflien he t^s voungf and set-hlAr^ -in

Castle county on the Delaware." It is possible that he did not move directly from
AnncJLrundle coun-fcy, Maryland to New Cas-tle county, Delaware but spent some time
around the Gunpoi-ider Falls river area in Baltimore county, ^laryland, as he seemed
to have a lot of ties ^ri.th this area.

A starvey Tra.s made by Samuel^Undervjood. December 23. 1719 on 9AC) arvpg nr> (^hfrrtftr
county.,JPcains.vlv3ma, on ittiau lyas called tlie London Company's "Tract."nOTyXohdBH

Grove toiaiship. JMiis land iTas conveyed by the trustees of the cQTrmany^ by lease
and release, March 13 & l4> 1722 to
TTwr^-mnd pf the
^>'ew Castle,
Yoeman.

Eis will was made and signed June 11, 1722 and he died soon after.
It is my opinion, this proves that Samuel Unden>od (UFA 79h) and Samuel Undeniood

(UFA 969) are one and the same person.

Harveysburg. Underwood, a Hicksite Quaker orchardist apparently
spared no cost to construct the home for his wife,Matilda, to get her
mind off the grief caused by the death of an infant daughter, Olive, who
died at the Underwood's first brick home, a farmhouse adjacent the West
side of the Jonah's Run Baptist Church. The two story brick farmhouse
was not built by Zephaniah but he did construct the large brick barn,
"fruit house" there. Zephaniah's nephew, Daniel Underwood, one of the
most prominent and best known orchardists in Clinton-Warren Counties

during recent years, once stored apples in the brick "fruit house" when
he owned and operated the Underwood Orchards on the adjoining farm.
Orchard Home was one of the most modern country homes during its era .
Its gravity flow water system from a huge storage tank on the second
floor, inside bathroom with bathtub and lavatory, piped-in kitceh water

Orchard Home was built in 1886 by Zepheniah Underwood, a Quaker (Hicksite)


Orchardist , who spared no cost in construction. Zepheniah built the impressive
home to take his wife's mind off of the death of their infant daughter, Olive,
who had died at their brick farmhouse next to Jonahs Run Baptist Church.

The

brick farmhouse was not built by Sx Zepheniah but he did built the large brick

b^n^"fruit house" where the Underwoods stored apples when Daniel, 2 Zepheniah's

J^^^op^ated an orchard adjoining the farm.

Daniel was the most prominent smd

best known Underwood orchardist in recent times.

Orchard Home was the most moder country home in the Clinton County area
and one of the modt modern in the nation at the time of its construction.

The

house was equipped with a large graxityxiiHW water storage tank on the second
floor and a network for gravity flow water. The house not only had water piped
into the kitchen but had a bathtub and a lavatory in its own bathroom and the
bathtub was quite a novelty even until townhouses had inside plumbing.
The tower was for ornamentation and recreation of sorts. The family would
view the scenic countryside from the tower which had its own seperate stairway
leading off from the one that went to the attic. The tower was of great fascin
ation to children during Zepheniah's grandniece's ttsm childhood.

He was ^0 and she was 20.

Zepheniah and Matilda had a second child, Janie Underwood Haines, who was

bom in the house

in 1888 and is still living with a daughter in the south.

Zepehiah Underwood was born in Columbiana County. His father Amos


Underwood moved his family from Bucks County, Pennsylvania to Columbiana County,
Ohio in 1816 and from there to HaarxSHxixlRfiiix Clinton County in 1826. They were
Hicksite Quakers. In 1853 Amos moved from near Port William to the brick
Gadis house on Brimstone Road across from 2

Grace Smart Frost.

Daniel Underwood

Doster went to house keeping there.
Zepheniah and Matilda were activists in the Womens Christian Temperence

Zepeniah's wife died and Elihu

Edward Wick of Dayton owns the house and farm and bought it about 10 years
ago.

John Doster farms the land.

Zepheniah "didn't spare money" to build the home. The ceilings were
ornamented with decorative plaster trim etc. , heavy woodwork, and the front
entrance hall had a ceramic tile moxiac floor.
The tiles would be picked out
easily when Esther a child and the floor never lasted.

W^YNESVILLE, OHIO 45068

October 6, 1982
Orchard Home was the name given to the house built by Zephaniah

Underwood in 1886 on State Route 73 in Clinton County just east of


Harveysburg. Underwood, a Hicksite Quaker orchardist apparently
spared no cost to construct the home for his wife,Matilda, to get her
mind off the grief caused by the death of an infant daughter, Olive, who
died at the Underwood's first brick home, a farirdiouse adjacent the West
side of the Jonah's Fun Baptist Church. The two story brick farmhouse
was not built by Zephanisdi but he did construct the large brick barn,
"fruit house" there. Zephaniah's nephew, Daniel Underwood, one of the
most prominent and best known orchardists in Clinton-Warren Counties
during recent years, once stored apples in the brick "fruit house" when
he owned and operated the Underwood Orchards on the adjoining farm.

Orchard Home was one of the most modern country homes during its era .
Its gravity flow water system from a huge storage tank on the second
floor, inside bathroom with bathtub and lavatory, piped-in kitceh water
supply and other conveniences unheard of in country homes of the day
made it an outstanding curiosity throughout the countryside. The bathtub
was a novelty to later generations of Underwood grandchildren. Zephaniah,
"a man of some culture" didn't "spare the moneyj to build his elegant
Victorian home. The ceilings were foexal pointed with plaster ornamentatioi
and heavy cherry woodwork accented it throughout. The front entrance hall
originally had a floor of mosiac ceramic tile, iSince the tiles could be
easily removed the floor eventually disappeared. The house's tower was
of basic Victorian architectur&l ornamentation but used by the family to
view the surrounding scenic countryside.. It had its own seperate stairway
leading off from one that went to the attic. The tower was a fascination
to generations of Underwood children.

Zephaniah and Matilda had only one child born in the Orchard Home.

The

child was Janie Underwood Haines who was born there in 1888 and is s t i l l

living with a daughter in the South.


Zephaniah Underwood was born in Columbiana County, Ohio. His father, Amos
Underwood, moved his family from Bucks County, Pennsylvania to Columbiana
County in 1816. Amos and family were Hicksite Quakers (the branch of The
Religious Society of Friends which followed the theological teachings of
Elias Hicks) (Hicksites were basically like Unitarians in their beliefs and
approach to religion and were the most liberal of the two branches of
Friends, Hicksite and Orthodox). Amos moved*"his family to Clinton County
in 1825 or 1826. In 1853, Amos moved from near Port William in Clinton
County to a two story brick farmhouse built by a Gadis family on Brimstone
Road just north of its intersection with State Route 73*

Zephaniah had a brother Elihu who had a son, Daniel. Daniel owned and
operated the well known Underwood Orchards. Zephaniah married his brother's
widow after he himself became a widower. When he married Matilda Downing,
he was 50 and she 20.

Zephaniah and Matilda were Womens Christian Temperance Union (W.C.T.U.)


activists and loyal to the movement.

A history of Zephaniah was published

after his death in the 1915 Clinton County History.


Underwood homes are in the Clinton County Atlas.

ONASNOWY SATURDAY

Esther Doster, 96, and her

University
professor.
They
recounted a rich family history.
Esther was bom and raised on

Howard said.

Education has played a major

part in the family history. About


1900, Wilhelmina Hahn was hired
to teach at a one-room school east of
Jonah's Run Church.
She
met
Daniel
Underwood
at

Clinton County from the seventh


grade through her senior year. She
was transported to school each day
in a horse-drawn school wagon.
During high school, she played
basketball and was on the delmte

team. She graduated from Kingman


as valedictorian in 1921.

As a child, Esther

"I won a scholarship of $25 to

schools were then centralized and

After Normal School, Esftier


E^er attendedKingman School in tau^t
for one year at WhiteChapel,
a one-room school north of Wilm

ington near Xenia.


"I walked to school every day.
?Vell, actually, I ran," she said.
"There were three country schools
within hearing distance of the bell
and it was a matter of pride that your
Liell wasn't the last one to rii^."
She lived with a family infiie "nice
aommunity."

"I think I was paid $90a month,"


she said.

She hired a boy to make the fire in


he classroom stove, sweep the floor,
;md wash the chalkboard. He was
liaid $3 a month.
"When they trained us to teach in

had used boards. We were told to use

a rubber hose," Esther said.


"I think they meant like a garden

of your little finger. I only used it


once.

"I had a sore foot with a com on it.

teacher, Inez Ridgeway Wilson, who


taught her health practices that she
used when she taught at White
Chapel. One was to have the stu
dents make their own paper cups to

on Brimstone Road where she has


bwn heard to say, "This is the one

oororesident, teaches third-graders at

common practice at that time for


everyone to drink out of the same tin
cup from the well or the same dipper
ftum the bucket.
She also had the children brush

their teeth each day. Once a man


from the county office came to
observe her teaching.
"He told me that he could see I

understood the problems," Esdier


said.

She also adopted from Wilson the


practice of hanging the temperance
motto, "Not too much of anything
and some things none at ail," on her
classroom wall.
She had 25 or 30 students. "I had all

eight grades." she said. "Some came


that were 4 years old. The oldest was
16. It was a busy time."
After teaching a year at White
Chapel. Esther returned to Wilm
ington College. While at Wilmington
she played basketball, helped found a
sorority and a dramatics honorary.
She graduated with honors in 1926.
Next foDowed three yeai's of
teaching high school English at
Highland. She also coached the bas
ketball team and the class plays. In

1929 Esther received a hi^ school


life certificate for teaching English,
history and home economics.
Although she had dated William
Doster off and on since 1922, she

postponed marriage because at the


time most school boards didn't hire

married women. Teaching jobs were


scarce and boards chose to hire men

or single women.

In 1930 Esther quit her teaching


job and married William. They set up
housekeeping in the house on Brim
stone Road. They had four children:
three boys and one girl.
William

was

elected

to

the

Harveysburg school board and


served for "perhaps 26 years,"
Howard said. He was president of the
school board for many of those years.
When her children were in grade
school, Esther and a friend, Helen
Wall, taught monthly temperance
classes in fifth through eighth

grades. Her soti, Howard, remem

New Text Document

Dr. Maria M. Downing Romlne

Dr. Maria M. Downing Romine was among the first women doctors to be licensed
to practice Medicine in the state of Ohio.
She was bom Get 16, 1848 in Humphrey, Pennsylvania, one of fivechildrenof
Jacob Downing (1807-1862) and Jane Underwood Downing (1813-1907). Near the
end of the Civil War, Jane Dowing moved her family to the Harveysburg area,
south of Waynesville ineastern Warren County, Jane's sister, Matilda Downing
Underwood (wife of Zephaniah), was a respected Quaker minister of the Grove
Meeting House in Harveysburg.

Maria taughtschool forsome years in Harveysburg. She married a local farmer, Jesse
Romine. Unable to have children, Maria and her husband adopted one of her sister

Rebecca's daughters. Maria had longed wanted to become a doctor but never had the
opportunity to study for that goal. She had adopted her niece in hopes she could be
encouraged to become a doctor, but the girl was not interested. Jesse finally was
successful In persuading Mariato go to medical school.
Maria attended the Laura Memorial Woman's Medical College in Cincinnati. She

graduated from that school in 1896. She was one of the firstwomendoctors to be
licensed to practice medicine in Ohio by the Ohio Medical Board, which began
licensure of doctors in 1896. She was 48 when she gradulatedi She then retumed
to Harveysburg to open her practice (In her home-which is still standing today in the
village).
Dr. Maria M. Romine died Dec. 16,1922 and was buried in Dec. 19,1922 in the

nearby Miami Cemetery in Waynesville, Ohio.


The Laura Memorial Women's Medical College operated in Cincinnati from 1895 to
1903. It had earlier merged with the Woman's Medical College of Cincinnati, and then
later with the Presbyterian Hospital and Woman's Medical College. The Laura Memorial
Women's Medical Collegesubsequently merged with the Miami Medical College, which
later became the College of Medicine of the University of Cincinnati. Graduates of the
above schools are all considered to be graduates of the University of Cincinnati. Quite
a heritage!

Maria Romlne

Dear William

Thank you for your inquiry re Maria (Marie) Romine. I just read the bio that you had on her on
your website (Great website, by the way). She was actually a graduate of "Laura's Medical

College" here is Cincinnatiand I don't believe that she was the firstwoman licensed to practice
medicine In this state. However, in 1896 (Dr. Romine's year of graduation), the Ohio Medical
Board was formed and when that happened, licensure began. So, although she was not the

first practicing woman physician in Ohio, she may have been the first licensed (as you stated on
your web site.). But, I have a call into the State Board and perhaps they can help, shall look
further and let you knowwhat interesting things Ifind out in the next few days. It is something
that I would like to know.

Regards,
Doris

BTW- We don't have a photo of her, but you never know. One might turn up.
Here is some information about Laura's Medical College. AS a graduate of that school Dr.
Romine is considered a graduate of the University of Cincinnati. Doris A. Haag

Marie and Jesse Romine House

Dr. Marie Downing Romine (b. 1848) was one of the five children of Jacob Downing (1807-1862) and Jane
Underwood Downing (1813-1907). Towards the end of the Civil War, after Jacob Downing died in Pennsylvania,

Jane Underwood Downing brought her family of five ?^^i^^^C^BHHBchlldren to the Harveysburg area.
Her sister was Matilda Downing Underwood, a respected Quaker minister of Grove Meeting in Harveysburg.

Marie taught school and by making friends with the local roughnecks, she won their cooperation. She married a
farmer, Jesse Romine, near Harveysburg. Marie always wanted to be a doctor but never had the opportunity.
Unable to have children, they adopted one of her sister Rebecca's girls, hoping that she would be willing to go to
medical school. Unfortunately, the giri was not interested in becoming a doctor.

Marie's husband finally persuaded Marie to fulfill her own dream. She graduated in 1896 from the Cincinnati School
of Medicine, and was the first woman doctor licensed to practice medicine in Ohio. Her practice was in Harveysburg

and the surrounding area. The family thought of Dr. Mary L. Cook of Waynesville as Dr. Marie Romine's "converf to
medicine. Maryworked in Dr. Marie's office while she attended high school in Harveysburg.
The Romine property can be seen on the 1891 Map of Harveysburg and the 1903 Map of Harveysburg.

According to her great great granddaughter, Maria's adopted daughter married James Schumaker. They had two

sons and one stayed in Harveysburg and farmed and one that moved to California and played piano for the silent

MARIA DOWNING

Sister Maria (b.1848) taught school and by making friends with the roughnecks,
she won their cooperation. She married a farmer near Harveysburg, Ohio. Maria

always wanted to be a doctor but never had the opportunity. Unable to have
chiidren, they adopted oneof her sister Rebecca's girls, hoping that she would be
willing to go to Medical School. Mary Shoemaker was a very pretty girl, but was
only interested in pretty clothes and getting married.
Maria's husband finally persuaded Maria to fulfill her own dream. She
graduated from Medical School in Cincinnati and was the first woman doctor
licensed to practice medicine in Ohio. Until her death, she practiced medicine In

Harveysburg and Community. She never failed to apologize for her appearance,

even though she always looked Immaculate.

Maria Romlne delivered me Into this world 5/15/1904 in Knox, Indiana.

Mother's first child, a full term perfect boy, was still born because the local

country doctor gave her no assistance. Because of this my grandmother Matilda


and great Aunt Maria came by train from Waynesville, Ohio to Knox, Indiana to
see that i arrived safely into this world.

After Mother and Father moved back to Ohio, near Mother's home place, my
brother Paul and sister Faith were delivered by Dr.M.Romine. She was our

family doctor until her death, then Dr. Mary Cook (aconvert of Dr. Maria) took

over. It was at the time when we moved back to Ohio that mycousin Esther, one

year older and just a toddler, (she was very bright, thin and with dark skin ), said,

"Oof Tilliei Toofati Too white! Oof Tillie! Hal Hal Too fatl Too white!", when she
heard the adults exclaiming overthe baby Ruth Matilda being so white and fat.
REBECCA DOWNING

Rebecca was two years older than Maria. She wasof a very emotional and
romantic nature and truly loved excitement. Her first marriage was to a returning
Civil War Veteran J.Fravei. He was young with no work experience except the
war, he couldn't adjust. They were divorced. Later, she married Merrit who

proved to be a good husband in helping to raise her large family. His Civil War

Pension was her only means of support, for the many years she lived after his
death. My Great Aunt Rebecca was very solicitous of everyone and tried to be
helpful (in the extreme) whether you wanted her help and advice or not. She also
claimed to have "special" healing power in her hands, often giving massages to

my grandmother LydiaTomlinson, who spent her last years with us. (d.1919)
Grandmother Lydia used the large front room downstairs as her living room and

the room above it as her bedroom.
