Letter written by James Holland Underwood circa early 1900's:
John Daniel Underwood was born in the Lucia section of northern Gaston County which is about five miles north of Mt. Holly, N.C. He and his brothers James, Jede, and Jacob were Civil War veterans. After he came home from the war, he went to work for William M. Holland, father of Nancy James Holland. The Holland farm was located where the village of Cramerton, N.C. now stands. What was once the Holland farmhouse occupied the highest hill in Cramerton, N.C. The house is still there and continues to be known locally as the Holland House. The address of this house is 156 8th Avenue, Cramerton, N.C. 28052 and is now owned and occupied by Mr. Garland Stiles and his family. After his marriage to my grandmother, Nancy Jane Holland and raising his family in the Cramerton area, he moved with his family to the Hopewell Church community in Mecklenburg county about 1884. He located on one of Rev. W.E. Mc Elwain farms. His house was on what is now named Rambright Road. This road turns to the right off Beaties Ford Road about a mile north of Hopewell Church, just before you get to the old Barnett home. The house is no longer standing but the house was located in the first big grove of trees on the right hand side.
