Research Notes

  • Note of Caution: Not all agree that Ardery's 1932 transcript 1 of the Bible of Robert Snoddy of Glasgow, Kentucky (aka the "Snoddy Bible") is sufficient to support the maiden name "Glasgow" for this Agnes, wife of John Snoddy. More research needed.

    NOTE: The family records copied from the Bible of Robert Snoddy. The Bible was printed by Mathew Cary, 118 Market Street, Philadelphia, Penn., Oct., 1802 and bought by Robert Snoddy in 1803. We know by the fact being handed down from son to son, and neighbors that knew him, that he and his brother James were with Washington during the Revolution and were with him at Yorktown at the surrender of Cornwallis. The above mentioned Bible is the property of Carey Snoddy, Owensboro, Ky., great-grandson of Robert Snoddy. Robert Snoddy's will is in file on the Barren County Court House, dated 1820.

    John Snoddy came front Ireland in 1740. He married Agnes Glasgow in the Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia, Penn., Oct. 7, 1741. Later he was Justice of Peace, Washington County, Va.
