11 Jun 17?? -- Appeals & Land Causes: And at another day, to wit,
at a Court held
for the
said
County the 11 Jun in the year aforesaid til which day the suit remained
uncalled,
came as
well
John McCall and Company as the said John Broaddus, by their Attorneys
and the
Defendant
relinquishing his Plea acknowledged the action of the Plaintiffs. Therefore
it is
considered
by the
Court that the Plaintiffs recover against the said Defendant two thousand
and sixty
seven
pounds,
seven shillings and nine pence, the Debt in the Declaration mentioned,
and also their
costs
in this
behalf expended; And the Defendant in mercy, &c., But this Judgement,
except the
costs, is
to be
discharged by the payment of one thousand and thirty three pounds,
thirteen shillings
and
eleven
pence half penny with legal interest thereon from the 20 Jun 1770 til
paid.
And on the motion of the Defendant and on his Bill filed and sworn
to in Court,
an
Injunction
in Chancery is awarded him to stay Execution of this Judgement until
the further
order of
the
Court, in which Bill the said John Broaddus set forth that some time
in the year
1761, the
said
Complainant and his Brother, Robert Broaddus, formed a restitution
to engage in the
Trade
of Merchandize and to retail goods in Partnership, and as the Complainant
and his
said
Partner
had no correspondent in Britain in whose integrity they could confide
to purchase
goods
for them
on the best terms, they therefore determined to purchase their goods
of some
Merchants or
Factors resideing here and to allow them a certain advance on the prime
costs and
by
these
means the said Complainant and his Brother hoped to transact business
with some
certainty
and
to their own emolument, provided they would be so fortunate as to purchase
their
goods of
Merchants of Character, Candor & Integrity on whom they could implicitly
rely as
they
were in
great measure unacquainted with the genuine prices of British Goods
at that time.
WILLIAM SNODGRASS (one of the Defendants above named) retailed goods
at (?) Tackits Warehouse in the County of King and Queen, as Factor
for John
McCall and Company, of the City of Glasgow, Merchants and as the character
of the said SNODGRASS was unexceptionable and as he was furnished with
great
quantities and a great variety of goods, and as the situation of the
Store was
convenient, the said Complainant and his Partner thought it expedient
to
purchase their goods from the Store, But as Archibald McCall (another
Defendant named in the Complainants said Bill) who then kept a Store
at
Piscataway in the County of Essex for the said McCall and Company of
Glasgow was reputed their principal Factor, the said Complainant made
his first
application to the Said Archibald. The said Complainant informed him
of his
and his Brothers intentions aforesaid and told him that in their neighbor
a
considerable quantity of goods might be disposed of to good Customers
provided they could be purchased at reasonable rate. After some Conversation
between the said Archibald and the said Complainant concerning the
quantity of
good
which the Complainant proposed to take up from time to time and concerning
the
regular payments which the Complainant expected to make for them, it
was
finally agreed between the said Archibald and the Complainant that
the
Complainant might take up what good he wanted either at the said Store
at
Piscataway or at the Todds to be discharged at 5 per centum on the
first
costs, or Sterling prices, either in Cash or Tobacco, at the general
markett
price with a full promise and assurance from the said Archibald that
the
Complainant should not be imposed on but be dealt with fairly and honestly.
The Complainant afterwards applied to the said SNODGRASS and informed
him of every thing that had passed and had been agreed upon between
the
Complainant and the said Archibald. The said WILLIAM not only acquiesced
but expressly and explicitly promised to adhere punctually to those
terms in
all his dealings with the Complainant. The Complainant accordingly
took up
some goods at Piscataway but the greatest part was taken up at the
said
SNODGRASSES Store at Todds.
In a short time, the said Archibald quitted the service of the said
McCall and Company and was succeeded by the said WILLIAM SNODGRASS,
the charge of the said Store at Todds being committed to one Robinson
Dangerfield,
(another Defendant named in the Complainants said Bill), The Complainant
further charged that he continued to deal at the said Stores in Partnership
with his Brother til sometime in the year 1762, when his said Brother
gave
over or declined his Partnership, whom the Complt. then bill with and
discharged. The Complainant still continued to deal on his own account
at the
said Stores, but chiefly at Todds for and during the series of 9 years
from
the beginning and all that time he implicitly on and confided in the
untainted
honour of the said Gentlemen and Factors, no ways diffident of a possibility
of their being deceived themselves or if their deceiving him some time
in the year 1770, the said McCall and Company declined their Trade
and
the Customers were generally called to settle their Accounts or pay
of their
ballances. the Complainant had already paid to SNODGRASS his full demand
for the goods taken up by him at Piscataway without having even superficially
much less minutely perused the Accounts in which the said demand was
founded.
The said Dangerfield likewise took an opportunity to apply to the
Complainant for his Bond for a ballance which he sued was still due
from the
Complainant to the said McCall & Company for dealings at the said
Store at
Todds. The Complainant never had received copies of his accounts either
from
the Said Snodgrass or from the said Dangerfield (except such memorandums
or
notes of particulars as were given at the time of takeing up the goods,
the
greatest part of which were either lost or mislaid, so that but five
of them
are to be found. the Complainant had therefore no opportunity either
of
examineing the said Accounts or of discovering the justice of the Credit
allowed to the Complainant, neither had the Complainant an opportunity
of
pointing out and deducting any accidental mistakes or errors in the
same, nor
had the Complainant any opportunity by importing goods himself or by
any
other deallings either before or in the time of his dealings in the
said Store or
finding out or discovering whether the prices of the goods which the
Complainant purchased at the said Stores were genuine or not.
The Complainant doth admit that subsequent to the agreement aforesaid,
the said SNODGRASS and Dangerfield informed him that they must vary
in the
advance of the goods according to the rise & fall of the exchange,
but the
Complainant from circumstances had no reason to entertain any doubt
or
suspicion of the goods being advanced before they came into the hands
of
the said Factors he observed the said Sterling Notes over the notes
of
particular at the time he purchased the goods, and also when the Complainant
applied for some board boxes & wrappers, he was told they were
not included in
the
charge against the Complainant or that no such things were charged
on the goods,
and also when the Complainant sometimes complained of the high prices
of the
goods, the said Factors answered that they actually cost so much, but
above
all the Complainant depended on the agreement aforesaid, and on the
integrity
and veracity of all the said Gentlemen.
The Complainant indeed did shew some reluctance towards giveing a Bond,
haveing never minutely examined his Accompt as aforesaid, til the said
Dangerfield faithfully promised that every over charge, short credit
error and
omission in the Complainants Accompt should be rectified, notwithstanding
a
Bond was taken. The Complainant therefore executed one accordingly
payable
to McCall and Elliott whose proper names (the complt. was informed
were John
McCall and Alexander Elliott)
some time after the Complt. had executed the said Bond, he being anxious
and disturbed at the largeness of the sum for which he had given it
made it
his business to apply to some Gentlemen acquainted with the first costs
of
goods & likewise acquainted with the prices of the goods sold at
the said
Store at Todds. He was credibly informed that the goods sold at the
said
Store were advance either in Brittain or in this Country at least 25
per cent
on the first costs and the Complt. was likewise told that the said
Dangerfield
acknowledged that the said goods were advanced and also Robeert McCandlish
(another Defendant named in the said Bill), and since confessed to
the
Complt. that he did not deny that the say goods were advanced, that
his reason for
not telling the Complt. of it before was because the Complt. never
asked him.
The Complt. is now convinced from these informations and from other
reasons, that the goods which the Complt. purchased from the Store
were
advanced at lest 25 per cent on the first cost before the advance agreed
on
was superadded, and the Complainant believed and was satisfied that
he
could have by undeniable witnesses that the said Factors did bargain
and sell
goods at the said Stores to the Complainant as an original genuine
and undiluted
service and agreed to produce ... (this page relative to the Complainants
suit is
very faded and only parts can be made out until near the bottom of
the page) ...
and the Complainant suspected there were other errors and omissions
in the said
Account.
The Complainant believed that the said Dangerfield if he had continued
in
the service of the said McCall & Company would have readily rectified
the
errors and omissions and compromised the other differences at least
he would
have submitted all these matters to the arbitration of competent Judges,
but
he was supplanted by the said Robert McCandlish when the said McCandlish
got
possession of the Books kept at the said Store, and of the Complainants
Bond.
The Complainant applied to him and informed him of the original agreement
& of every thing that appeared subsequent thereto as before recited.
He
reminded him on what condition the said Bond was given and demanded
a copy
of his whole Account. the said McCandlish decllined giveing to the
Complainant the said Copy but favoured the Complt. with a Certificate
of the
amount of the goods purchased by the Complt. at the said Store at Todds,
which
by the said Certificate amounted to L2731..3..3 3/4 and a Certificate
of the Credits
and payments made by the Complainant to the said Store amounting to

The Complainant requested the said McCandlish to submit all matters
of
arbitration as aforesaid and offered to pay whatever sum should be
awarded
(if any) and that immediately after the said Account could be adjusted
but the
said McCandlish utterly refused to comply with this equitable request.
He
had caused suit to be commenced against the Complainant on the said
Bond, A
Judgment had been entered as the Complainant could not without (probititily
?)
defend himself at Law, but was properly intitled to relief in Equity.
To the end therefore that the said John McCall and Alexander Elliott,
said Archibald McCall, the said WILLIAM SNODGRASS and the said Robert
McCandlish and the said Robinson Dangerfield might on their corporal
Oaths
true and perfect answers make to all and singular the premises as fully

with as much precision as if the same were here again repeated and
interrogated, and mor particularly that the said John McCall and Alexander
Elliott might likewise on their corporal Oaths declare whether they
regularly
sent genuine invoices of the prime costs of their goods sent to the
said Store

knowledge or belief and to what amount before the advance agreed on

superadded & whether he did not tell the Complainant at the time
when the
said Dangerfield first took place at Todds, that the Complts. deallings
should
be the same with the said Dangerfield and upon as good terms in every
respect
as with himself as he himself was not going out of the business, whether
he did
not agree to deal cheaper with the Complt. and on better terms than
with
the generality of customers on account of the Complts. being in Trade

Paris M. Snodgrass
Paris M. Snodgrass departed this life on Apr. 2, 1919, after
spending a short life in the service of God, bringing cheer and
hope of the beautiful world beyond to his fellow men.
He was born in Craig County, Va., March 9, 1871, the s/o Caleb
and Elizabeth Snodgrass. Caleb Snodgrass was married twice, and of
the first union there were born to him one son and six daughters,
of whom only the one son and one daughter survive; of the second
union, there were born to him six sons and one daughter, P. M.
Snodgrass being the youngest of the six sons; the other five sons
and the one daughter survive.
Bro. Snodgrass was the kind of man who was looked upon with
the highest esteem by all who knew him, having a disposition of such
nature that he could smile in the face of adversities, shed tears of
heartfelt sympathy with those who wept and rejoice with those who
rejoiced. He confessed faith in Christ early in life, and entered
Ashley Johnson Bible School of Tennessee in 1894, graduating five
years later. From school he went direct to Hawaii to take charge
of a private mission, where he worked for four years. The last year
of this period he was married to Miss Emma K. Hedgecock of Knoxville,
Tenn., who accompanied him back to his foreign field. In 1903 he
was called by the Foreign Mission Board of the Christian Church to
Honolulu, where he spent four more years in mission work during
which time the Lord blessed his home with two daughters (Winniford
and Dorothy). In 1907 he returned to Virginia, and located on a
farm, purchased by himself and his brother George W., near Paint
Bank, Va., and, in addition to farmwork, he preached for a group
of nine churches for six years, during the latter part of which
time his home was blessed with a son (Paul). Three children,
in all, survive him.
Selling out his farm interest in Virginia in 1913, he located
in Harford County, MD., where he bought land twice, and was located
at the time of his death near Bel Air, on the Creswold Road, where
his body was laid to rest. The funeral was conducted by J. B.
Jarboo, of the M. E. Church.
Bro. Snodgrass, in the last years of his ministry, served three
churches--Jerusalem, The Forks and Joppa. He leaves to mourn their
loss, a widow, three children, six brothers and two sisters, and
friends by the hundreds and thousands.
New Castle, Va.

Hole
(VA Hist. Reg., vol. 3, page 80).
<see James City Co., VA>
22 Apr 1776 --Landon Carter's diary: 22, Monday, April, 1776. My daughter
Colston and her husband came here on Thursday last & are still
here.
Last night an Express from H. Hole <Hobb's Hole?> from Dr. Fauntleroy
to the command'g officer of the 50 invalids of the 5th regiment left
at our
Court house to desire him to march to the assistance of the town. A
tender had,
it seems, forced the New England vessel loading corn at the mouth of
Piscattaway
to slip and run for it, but she only got to H. Hole wharf and was there
taken
without any resistance from the Town. It seems a flag of truce that
the Town
should not be hurt provided it did not interefere, and no one did,
notwithstanding
there were 17 men left there and under an officer, Snodgrass (who)
went on board
the tender. I understood Currie sold his vessel to Harry Wm'son and
the Scotch
lads
there, and they ran down with her and gave notice to this tender of
the situation of
this
corn vessel & that all the forces were removed from both sides;
therefore, she ran
boldly
up, and behaved thus. I sent an Express off this morning to General
Lee abt these
things.
If these Tories are not secured, I am sure that County of Essex will
be in a bad
situation, and must be under a constant plunder from this monstrous
Dunmore.
I was told that Bartlett Goodrich, a son of the old villain, commanded
this
tender. These things I have written about to the General. The Lieut.
has
ordered out the militia both above and below... (William & Mary
Quarterly, vol.
16,
p 265).

Settlers, Southerners, Americans: The History of Essex Co., VA
(Slaughter--1985):
Hobb's Hole was on the Rappahannock River, and was originally called
Hobb's His Hole, which was shortened to Hobb's Hole (a hole being a
deep
place on the river). Some of the citizens feeling that this was not
a suitably
dignified name, attempted to change the name to New Plymouth, but the
name
Hobb's Hole persisted. Finally in 1705 the assembly officially changed
the
name to Tappahannock.
The sailors and sea captains continued to refer to the harbor as Hobb's
Hole, and indeed, most people not native to the town continued to refer
to
it as Hobb's Hole. This situation persisted into the 1770's and possibly
beyond. This is why it has been so hard to find Hobb's Hole--on the
maps
it was called Tappahannock, but even in various documents, it was referred
to
as Hobb's Hole.
<Note: It would appear from this, that the "officer Snodgrass" was
leading
the American militia who seized the tender. He is probably the William
Snodgrass
refered to above as being "of Hobb's Hole.">

<Note: During this time period, the word "son-in-law" meant both
son-in-law and step-son. There is evidence in Washington Co., VA,
that Catherine, widow of William Snodgrass, married second Aaron
Jenkins, which would have made both Robert and Joseph Snodgrass
his step-sons. It was a rare case, however, that a man left any
land to a step-son UNLESS the step-son was also related by blood.
It would therefore pay to check to see if Catherine might have been
a cousin of Aaron Jenkins before she married William Snodgrass, or
if William Snodgrass might have been a cousin of Aaron Jenkins.>

24 Jul 1983 -- Bristol Herald Courier, Sunday, page 48: Hubbard Springs
May Have Been
First Lee County Health Center, by George Dalton, Special Writer.
HUBBARD SPRINGS, Va.--The village of Hubbard Springs, nestled at the
foot of Cumberland Mountain in a remote section of Lee County, may
have been
the first attempt to establish a "health center" in Lee County and
possibly the
first in Virginia.
An old timer, John Snodgrass, acquired the property known as Hubbard
Springs and proceeded to develop it as a health center to treat "stomach
trouble"
with water from the springs in 1903.
Snodgrass initially owned property in Nebraska which he sold and purchased
a
two room log house and property supporting 22 springs. Seven of the
springs
located near the log house spouted "mineral" water.
According to Mrs. Roy Lucas, a granddaughter of Snodgrass, he built
a 14
room "hotel" from the two-room log facility and proceeded to develop
the area
by building a boardwalk to the springs.
Mrs. Glessye Humphreys, a native of Hubbard Springs, who now resides
in
Jonesville, said, "Beginning at Mr. Snodgrass's house (or hotel), there
were
seven springs real close together and all had different kinds of water."
There was white, black and yellow sulphur along with mineral and iron
water within a radius of 10 feet, according to Mrs. Humphreys. Mrs.
Lucas
named iron, limestone and freestone water at the springs also.
Mrs. Humphreys said that Snodgrass built a nice boardwalk to the seven
springs and enclosed them with a rock wall. Along the boardwalk sheds
were
built with benches inside. The boardwalk served all the springs.
The property was a five acre tract and the springs were named for Eli
Hubbard who acquired the property about 1860, according to Mr. and
Mrs.
Howard Ledford, natives of the Hubbard Springs area.
Mrs. Lucas said her grandfather, John Snodgrass, was born in Washington
County, VA, April 16, 1842, and died in September of 1906. She said
he built
the hotel in 1903. After the death of Snodgrass, the hotel began to
deteriorate
and Mr. and Mrs. Ledford were residents there for several years.
Ledford said that someone apparently set fire to the old building in
1976,
destroying it. Now, the lot is cleared of the debris and the springs
are still
flowing but they are in a "rundown condition." They reportedly are
owned by
a Laura Wilder of Portsmouth, GA.
Mrs. Humphreys said that people would come from far and near to drink
the
water from the Hubbard Springs. She said they hauled water from the
springs by
wagons and shipped some by railroad. People would come to Hubbard by
train
and board at the Snodgrass Hotel and drink water for their "stomach
troubles."
Ledford said, "We went over the old house the night it burned and
watched. It sure was a pitiful sight to see the old logs burn."
Ledford said that the Louisville and Nashville Railroad Company named
their
train stop for the Hubbard Springs. Eli Hubbard acquired the land from
Louisville Land Co.
In the days of the Snodgrass Hotel, Hubbard Springs was accessable
primarily by the L & N Railroad Company with four passenger trains
daily.
Now, there are several paved roads serving the area.
Route 621 leads from 421 at Pennington Gap to Hubbard Springs and Route
659 leads down Sugar Run with 656 branching off to Hubbard Springs.
