Person talk:John Snoddy (4)

Revolutionary War [16 June 2009]

What evidence is there that John Snoddy Fought in the Revolution? Q 17:32, 14 June 2009 (EDT)

It appears that it was Samuel Snoddy's son John that fought in the Revolution. I've removed the reference.:)

Thank you. I can't find where I got it from so it must have been a mistake.--Bridgefan 10:17, 16 June 2009 (EDT)

Good. Then we have agreement. One of the real advantages of WeRelate is its emphasis on sourcing. Most of the stuff we put in probably doesn't have a good original or even secondary source, but there's always that Blank in the input area just waiting to have something filled in. I'd have been surprised if this particular John Snoddy saw rev. War service, given his age, but you never know. Some well known patriots served at a fairly advanced age. Q 10:34, 16 June 2009 (EDT)

Bridgefan, do you know the basis for identifying the wife of John 4 as "Agnes Glasgow" (Note that the 7 OCT 1741 date is probably in error and probably should be 7 August 1741., per note that I've added to the family page.) is there any record that can be pointed to that shows that his wife's name was "Agnes"? Even that would help clear things up. Note that others identify a John Snoddy in Buckingham Co Va. married to an Agnes Glasgow. Same problem there. No direct evidence for her name, other than the fact that they cite the 7 Aug 1741 Philadelphia marriage record, which only identifies her as "Agnes". I'm looking for the path this John Snoddy took to SW VA. There are two main possibilities:

a) he came to the area via Buckingham County, and is related to the Snoddy's that lived in that area by about 1743. b) he came up from the Carolina's and is related to the Samuel Snoddy who settled initial near Dobb's Fort in Iredell County. One branch of this family moved south to Spartansburg SC. Possibly the branch that remained in Iredell sent one of the John Snoddy's to Castle's woods, and the other is associated with the Spartansburg line. Q 10:43, 16 June 2009 (EDT)
