INTRODUCTION TO THE SNODGRASS SOURCE BOOKS

The state source books were created by Charlou Dolan. She began this massive project ca. 1986, organizing and typing the accumulation of Snodgrass research when she got "boxes and boxes" of files from Scott F. Hosier (he was Editor of The MACE 1978-1986). Those files formed the nucleus of the "source books". During her tenure as Editor of The MACE, 1987-1993 and since, Charlou has been hard at it: gathering and entering into the source books Snodgrass data, making trips to courthouses and libraries across the country, collecting files & family data from past & present members of The Snodgrass Clan Society, as well as soliciting information from many other Snodgrass researchers.

The source books are one of the best tools available to anyone researching Snodgrass. One for nearly every state, each is organized by county and within each county, info is arranged by date. These source books contain a wealth of Snodgrass research. Census readings - wills - deeds - misc. court records - marriages - deaths - obits - histories - Bible records - even queries found in genealogical publications ... all Snodgrass!

Charlou's comments on the collected data are shown as < . > throughout. Any comments marked [ . ] or [vss -] were added by me, Violet "Suzie" Snodgrass Schoolcraft beginning in 1997, the result of my reading the source books and tracing families since I first joined The Snodgrass Clan Society in 1993.

PLEASE keep in mind that the source books are meant to be a reference work - they give us an idea of what has already been found. Perhaps more importantly, they show us where to look next for what is yet to be done! REMEMBER, extractions & transcriptions, notes & comments may have errors or may be missing certain portions of the original material. ALWAYS refer to the original source material whenever possible, using the source books as a starting point to guide you in your individual research.

If it is SNODGRASS we at The Snodgrass Clan Society continue to collect it!

*********

I wanted to make sure you all understand my abreviation system:

Where the books are listed, and "NS" means "no Snodgrass" in the book;

"yes" means there was Snodgrass information found.

In the 1900 Census the following abreviations are used:

r.h. = rents house

o.m.h. = owns mortgaged house

o.h.f. = owns house free of mortgage

r.f. = rents farm

o.m.f. = owns mortgaged farm

o.f.f. = owns farm free of mortgage

Then, of course, there is the problem of when the census taker left some of

the spaces blank...

3 ch, 2 liv = the woman has had 3 children and 2 of them are still living.

m.8y = married 8 years (I check to make sure the husband and wife agree, and then to save space, I only enter it with the husband)

TAX LISTS: where it says "entered in the name of Moore," or something like that, it does NOT mean that Moore owns the property; he was merely the first one to patent the land and/or to own it. In other words, this is just a way of identifying the property, and does not mean that the person paying the tax does not own the land.

I don't know if it will help, but I use 12 characters to the inch, and a 78-character line. That way all the indents come out properly. I also have 65 lines of text (not counting the headers & footers), because my laser printer will do that many and still have completely legible type.

If you have any other questions about anything in this or any other source book, let me know -- there may be others out there with the same question ... If you have corrections, additions, etc., please send them to me - with documentation! If you find someone you recognize in any of these records, I would be interested to hear about it.

Oliver P. Cox, Cox's Mills, Gilmer Co., WV. To Gov. J. J. Jacob.

Requests the Governor not to pardon George K. Cox, his brother, because all are afraid he will fill his word and kill them as promised; he terrorized his parents, threatened to kill them and all his brothers and sisters; some citizens have canvassed eight counties for signers of the petition; they have boasted that the Governor will grant the pardon because he is a Democrat.

27 Apr 1871 -- J. J. Jacob Letters, #134:

E. L. Snodgrass, Bone Creek, Ritchie Co., WV. To Gov. J. J. Jacob.

18 May 1871 -- J. J. Jacob Letters, #152:

John W. Gush, Gilmer Co., WV. To Whom it may Concern.

Thinks that G. K. Cox did not steal the black steer and he was falsely accused and imprisoned in the summer of 1864; this statement would have been made before except for fear of John Slaton, whom he believes to be guilty.

J. (Jonathan) M. Bennett, Weston, WV. To Gov. J. J. Jacob.

Attached his name (Bennett) to a petition for the pardon of George K.

Susan J. Cox, Cox's Mills, Gilmer Co., WV. To Gov. J. J. Jacob.

Daniel W. Cox, Sannetts (Mills), WV. To Gov. J. J. Jacob.

In the brief furnished by the Governor's private secretary of the charges in protest against the pardon of George K. Cox, his name (Daniel W. Cox's) is used to establish the fact that George K.

25 May 1871 -- J. J. Jacob Letters, #161:

Sarah E. Cox, Sister-in-law of George K. Cox, Cox's Mills, Gilmer Co., WV. Certifies that in the spring of 1866, George K. Cox came to her home in the absence of her husband Oliver P.

Cox) was forced to leave; later he returned armed with a revolver and searched the house for money and papers; when he did not find them, he "flew into a rage," kicked her down to the floor and badly bruised her; on the same day he destroyed her vegetable garden, tore down and threw away a clock and other household articles; has heard him repeatedly swear that he intended to kill his brother-in-law, E.

E. L. Snodgrass, Bone Creek, WV. To Gov. J. J. Jacob.

Requests that pardon not be given to George K. Cox for reasons set forth in other letters; would be in favor of pardoning him if he would behave; his (Cox's) letters to his father are still filled with hatred and threats.

22 Dec 1876 -- J. J. Jacob Letters, #692:

1913 -- West Virginia & Its People, by Thomas Condit Miller and Hu Maxwell

(in 3 volumes) Lewis Historical Publishing Company, New York; vol. 2: pages 483-5:

SNODGRASS This family is of Scottish origin. A family of the same name is found in Ritchie county, West Virginia, but does not seem to be closely connected with the present family.

(I) William Snodgrass, the founder of this family, left Scotland early in 1700, during one of the Scottish feuds and finally came to the American colonies, settling on what is now Back Creek, Berkeley county, Virginia. He was a farmer, in religion a Presbyterian. He is buried in the churchyard of Mount Zion Church, Hedgesville, Virginia. He married Catharine Patterson. Children, several, the third son being Robert of whom further.

(II) Robert (2), son of William and Catharine (Patterson) Snodgrass, married, March 31, 1762, Susannah Rawlings. Among their children, the seventh was William, of whom further.

(III) William (2), son of Robert and Susannah (Rawlings) Snodgrass was born in 1775, died in 1835. He married Nancy Fryatt. She was a descendant of Archbishop Tillotson, of Canterbury, England. Her parents were wealthy in England, and brought with them to America much silver plate and other valuables, beside fine horses and household goods. They owned a large estate in Berkeley county, and were buried in their own family burying ground. Some of their library is in possession of various descendants, and among these works are many volumes of sermons of Archbishop Tillotson. They were members of the Church of England. Among the children of William and Nancy (Fryatt) Snodgrass, the second was John Fryatt, of whom further.

(IV) John Fryatt <Snodgrass>, son of William (2) and Nancy (Fryatt) Snodgrass, was born March 4, 1802, in Berkeley county, Virginia, died at Parkersburg, Wood county, Virginia, June 5, 1854. He was of a brilliant mind, a fine student, and received a liberal education at college. He moved to Parkersburg and there began the practice of law. In the history of his time he was prominent in business, social and political life, noted for his skill as a lawyer, and also igured conspicuously in the affairs of the nation. The house now used as the Blennerhassett Club House at Parkersburg was erected by him, and there he lived; it was one of the finest homes in the west, noted for its hospitality, and many social affairs were held under its roof. Every summer he drove his own coach to the White Sulpher Springs, where also he and his family were always prominent in the social life. In 1850 he was a delegate to the state constitutional convention held at Richmond. The Baltimore & Ohio railroad had not then been built. He was drawn in his own coach by way of Staunton, having relays of horses at convenient points. To the thirty-third congress he was elected as a representative as a Democrat. The Democratic party nominated him for governor of Virginia, and he had just received this nomination at the time of his death, which occurred at his home at Parkersburg. He was always ready to lend money to those in need and to assist those who asked his help. Interest paid with a load of wood or in potatoes satisfied him. He married (first) in 1837, Louisa Kinnaird. She was a noted southern beauty, and was descended from the Kinnairds of the Scottish nobility. He married (second) Virginia Quarrier. Children of John Fryatt Snodgrass: 1. John William, married Eunice Hall. 2. Kinnaird, of whom further. 3. Lucy, married G. K. Storm, the celebrated portrait painter. 4. Mary Louisa, married George H. Murphy, a prominent attorney of Baltimore. 5. Sarah Virginia, married Edward Wilcox.

(V) Kinnaird, son of John Fryatt and Louisa (Kinnaird) Snodgrass, was born at Parkersburg, May 30, 1838, died at Parkersburg, February 11, 1907. He received a thorough and liberal education, and graduated with honor from St. James College at the age of nineteen. On June 11, 1859, he was admitted to the bar of Parkersburg. In 1862 he retired to his farm at Williamstown, Wood county, West Virginia, where he resided until 1878; in that year he returned to Parkersburg. He lived an honorable, upright, useful life, exemplary in all respects. His intellect was bright, yet pure; his disposition warm and genial; his character firm and resolute. Devoted to his family and true to his friends, straightforward in all his dealings, ever ready to assist others, he won the love and commanded the respect of all who knew him, and his friends were legion. Although he could never be classed as an office seeker, he held many positions of responsibility, and in these he served the public ably and satisfactorily, so that his life is an important part of the history of Wood county. Under the West Virginia constitution of 1863, he served as a member of the board of supervisors. From January 1, 1877, to January 1, 1881, he presided as judge of the county court, when then had jurisdiction of law and chancery cases and administered the fiscal affairs of the county also. He served as commissioner of the circuit court from September 4, 1879, until he resigned November 27, 1887; from July 1, 1887, to July 1, 1889, he was recorder or judge of the police court. He was deputy clerk of the county court from June 23, 1890, to January 12, 1904; and from October 8, 1883, until his death, he was commissioner of accounts. Whatever Judge Snodgrass did was always well done. He married at Marietta, Ohio, October 24, 1865, Sarah R. Bukey, who died January 17, 1907. She was a woman of lovely charm. Children: 1. William, superintendent of the Waters-Pierce Oil Company, at Tampico, Mexico; married Selina Bakewell Martin, of a New Martinsville, West Virginia, family. 2. George Lewis, well known in social and club life. He is a member of the fire insurance firm of Burwell & Snodgrass. 3. Kinnaird, an enterprising young business man of Parkersburg, and a member of the firm of Shattuck & Jackson, wholesale grocers of Parkersburg; in this firm he holds the offices of secretary and assistant manager. 4. Virginia Quarrier, married John A. Luttrell. 5. Nannie. 6. Lucy. 7. Juliet.

Elisha Kelly Snodgrass is s/o John T. Snodgrass and Laura V. Kelly who m. 1874 Berkeley Co; John Tabb Snodgrass s/o William Tyler and Arabella E. Tabb, s/o William and Ann / Nancy Fryatt, s/o Robert & Susannah]

SNODGRASS Elisha Kelley Snodgrass, of Preston, Idaho, descends from a notable Virginia family. In 1656, or thereabouts, one Phillip Snodgrass came from London to Jamestown, Virginia, and located. He was one of a number of younger sons of an old Derbyshire family, and with several companions of his own station in life adventured to the New World, hoping to build for themselves fortunes. He located, after a time, on the James river, many miles above Jamestown, took up wild land, cleared it and in the course of time was the owner of a large tobacco farm. He was among the first of the colonists to successfully cultivate small grain, and erected a primitive mill for the purpose of grinding it, which proved a boon to his neighbors as well as himself. He became known in his section as one of the most advanced agriculturists in spite of the unceasing wars with his Indian neighbors and the marauding of the visiting and northern tribes. He also proved himself an Indian fighter and frequently pitted his wits against those of the red men. He constructed a dwelling house of hewn logs and stone, with a well in the center, which was the admiration of the pioneers of that section and the despair of the savages, who stormed it time and again unsuccessfully. He was universally respected and held several colonial offices. He died in the house of logs and stone, leaving a large estate and a noble name and record to his children and descendants. As years rolled around it was found that the original estate was too small, and the younger generation began to move away from the Tide-water section, going west and north. Thus several members of the family finally located in what is now known as West Virginia, and from them descend the families of the name in Berkeley county and other places. Elisha Kelley Snodgrass was born December 25, 1878, in Martinsburg, Berkeley County, West Virginia, at the old homestead of the Snodgrass family, "Wheaton," and is a direct lineal descendant of Phillip Snodgrass, the Virginia immigrant. On leaving school he was educated in the public and private institutions of his native city and later entered the office of a local civil engineer, where he took up a course of civil engineering, which he practiced for twelve years. At the expiration of that time he formed a partnership with Messrs. Herbard and Bailey under the firm name of the Albott Construction Company, which has since enjoyed a prosperous business, which they are extending each year. They have an unlimited field and their construction is known and approved throughout the country. Mr. Snodgrass married, November, 1906, Matilda Marsh, daughter of Dr. Elias Joseph and Sarah (Griswold) Marsh, of Patterson, New Jersey. Children: John Tabb and Robert Marsh.

[vss - Matilda is on 1920 Mercer Co NJ with John Tabb Snodgrass & Robert Marsh Snodgrass]

<Charlou's WARNING: Before you accept as truth the story of Phillip Snodgrass, be advised, that the most strenuous efforts on the part of numerous researchers have failed to find any evidence that there ever was such a man, or that any Snodgrass came at such an early date to Virginia. One of the most common errors in "family tradition" is inadvertently switching the maternal & paternal lines, i.e. the most likely origin of this mythical Phillip Snodgrass is that Elisha Kelley Snodgrass did have an ancestor named Phillip who came early to Virginia, and about whom he heard stories, but his last name was probably not Snodgrass. If a Phillip did indeed exist at all, he was probably the ancestor of one of the wives who married into the Snodgrass line.>

[vss - added from CD's SLC update, summer 1997]

In Garner's EARLIEST SETTLERS OF WESTERN FREDERICK -- EASTERN HAMPSHIRE COUNTIES IN VIRGINIA; THEIR DESCENDANTS, page 31, is found the following interesting account: [vss - what is the date of this book?!] Edward Parish and Indian trader Thomas Townsend (Edwards friend and neighbor) of Fayette Co., PA <i.e. the part of PA that later became Fayette Co.>. Townsend was a friend of Boone and in the mid-seventies <Note: this is early enough!> arranged with Boone to select lands in Kentucky for him and several of his neighbors who wished to settle there. Boone selected the lands and sent word to Townsend that "all is settled." Townsend, then, was on a trading expedition in southern Ohio, so Boone's message was given to William Hibbs, who was involved with Townsend and others in the planned Kentucky venture. Hibbs notified the others and soon they were on their way to Kentucky to settle. It is known that Townsend and two other traders (Colson and McKnight) were trading with the Indians on the Scioto River (near Kentucky) and Hibbs and party believed they would find Townsend there, and he would go on with them to Boonsboro. The route chosen by Hibbs and party (mounted and leading packhorses) was up the Monongahela, up the West Fork, andover onto the Little Kanawha to the Ohio, and down the Ohio to the mouth of the Scioto. They made Pricketts Fort the first day, and here rested the night. The next morning, after they had crossed the Tygart Valley River, a storm, brewing since dawn, struck with fierce winds and "some hail," and continued with "great violence," forcing them finally to take shelter in a deserted cabin near present Hutchinson (Worthington). Here they were detained until late afternoon, when, to their surprise, as they were preparing to resume their journey, Townsend and his companions hailed them from the direction of the river. The men in Hibbs' party were: Hibbs; Icabod, Daniel, Richard, & Riah [Uriah] Ashcraft; Jared Kendle / Kendall; Charles Snodgrass, Jonathan Nixon, & Edward Parrish. All were then or had been neighbors of Parrish in now Fayette Co., PA.
