Chester A Murphy Steuben County

I am searching for the parents and family of Chester A Murphy born between 1825 and 1830 in Steuben County, New York. By the 1850 census he was living in Jennings County, Indiana. He married Polly Ann McCoy in Howard County, IN. He served in the Civil War and died in 1873 from war injuries. Polly later drew a widow's pension. His military papers say Steuben County, NY as well as census entries.

Ichabod Hovey 1759-1811 and daughter Sylvinia Hovey 1799-1878

Needing proof Sylvinia was Ichabod Hovey daughter for both DAR and Mayflower Society
Ichabod Hovey was in the Revolutionary War and is listed on muster rolls, however no pension for land was filed by him or widow pension for his wife (that I can find). It probably would only be a widow claim as he died in 1811...going over Niagara Falls. The only death info I can find is this newspaper article:

Nally family

I am trying to gather genealogical information on Maggie Nally (1873-?) had 4 children (no known father), Katie Nally (abt 1891), Mamie Nally (abt 1892), Bridget Agnes Nally (abt 1894) and Helen Nally (abt 1897). Katie, Mamie and Bridget were in St Elizabeth's Industrial School (235 East 16th St, Manhattan) until they were transferred to St Ann's Home in Peekskil, NY in October 1897. The 1910 nFederal Census shows all 4 girls with their mother living at East 80th Street, Manhattan. No other information except for Bridget Agnes.

Underhill Family

I am looking for people that are researching the family of one of Captain John Underhill's descendants - specifically the family of Jackson Underhill. I am trying to locate any information I can on Susan and Alice Underhill, who descend from Jackson and his wife Mary Lambertson. I have found some information online, mostly on Alice. Susan seems to disappear after the 1870 Federal Census.
