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 every state, each 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 Violet "Suzie" Snodgrass Schoolcraft beginning in 1997, the result of reading the source books and tracing families since I first joined The Snodgrass Clan Society in 1993. Comments marked by [wsj -] were added by Will Johnson. 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! Please send items (with sources cited!) you want to share with others to: Paul D.

Snodgrass, 308 N. Pine Ave., Chicago, IL. Chicago, IL, 25 Aug 1931 Dear Mr. Cole, Please pardon my delay in answering your letter regarding the Snodgrass family. We have been out of the city and my correspondence has been heavy for some time. As to my husband's family. His grandfather was born in Virginia. His name was William. He had a brother Thomas. He left that state, studied law in Ohio, and was admitted to the bar. Doctor Snodgrass's father was born in Miami Co., OH. James was his name--an only child. Dr.'s impression is that his grandfather was born in the vicinity of the Natural Bridge, VA, but we do not know. I have been very successful in tracing many of my own lines, but have not been able so far to establish the Snodgrass line or the data desired. At one time, I was referred to a Mrs. Nora I. Serivner, 110 Vine St., Cynthiana, KY. She is descended from William, James, and Robert Snodgrass. I wrote her and received a very nice letter in reply. She was unable to answer my questions, but hoped to later. I did not hear from her again. Her letter is dated 31 Dec 1927. I have the revolutionary record of a William Snodgrass from a Richmond, VA, genealogist. Sullivan Co., TN, pension roll. He wrote me that William and Charles Snodgrass were the only two of the name who served in the Revolution from Virginia. From the land grant office, Richmond, I received a long list of grants to Wm., Joseph, James, Chas., Robt., and so on Snodgrass (67 in all) Index 1623-1774, 1803-1825, & 1825-1850. I trust the above may be of some assistance to you, and that you may be able to help with our Snodgrass puzzle. My husband had a brother William (older), but he died some years ago. No one was ever more interested in his country than my Dr. Snodgrass. Patriotic blood of the early days runs in his veins. Very truly yours, Lulu M. Snodgrass (Mrs. Edward G.) ===================================================================== ========= ############################################################################## ..head02cCRAWFORD COUNTY -- ## CRAWFORD COUNTY (formed 1816 from Edwards County) CEMETERY RECORDS Crawford Co., IL, Cemetery Inscriptions, vols. 2-3 (Roesler & Bailey) yes CENSUS RECORDS 1850 census transcription - NS 1860 census transcription - NS 1900 census transcription - NS 1910 miracode - yes 1920 soundex - yes HISTORY & GENEALOGY History of Crawford & Clark Cos., IL, 1883 (Perrin) (Indexed) yes (see Clark Co.)

Snodgrass, farmer and lumber-dealer, was born December 17, 1837, in Hendricks County, Ind. His parents are John and Minerva (Douglas) Snodgrass, both natives of Kentucky. The father was a farmer, and a Democrat politically. Both parents died in 1878, the former at about the age of fifty-four, the latter at about the age of fifty; she was a member of the Missionary Baptist Church. They had six children, five of whom are now living. John W. came with his parents to Cumberland County in 1857, arriving October 17, and settling within a mile of where he now resides. His father bought a part of the farm on which J. W. now resides, and began opening out a farm. Mr. S. has been working for himself since he was about twenty years of age. He was married in December, 1859, to Sarah J. Fairbanks, a native of this county. She is the daugther of Samuel and Fanny Fairbanks, natives of Ohio. The mother is still living in this county, being seventy-four years of age. Her father died in September, 1876, at the age of seventy-one years. To Mr. and Mrs. Snodgrass were born three children. The oldest died in infancy; Mary Frances and Nettie Ann, the other two, are living at home. Mr. S. had for a start $5 in money and two colts. He now owns 114 acres of land, all of which is under fair cultivation. He also owns a steam grist-mill, saw-mill and thresher, all of which are run by the same engine. Mr. S. is doing a good business in his various occupations, and is numbered among the prosperous, responsible and worthy farmers of the county. Mr. S. is a member of Toledo Lodge, No. 355, I.O.O.F. Politically he is a Democrat. Mr. S. is a good neighbor, as kind to the poor perhaps as any person in the county, and is regarded by all as a first-class man. 20 Aug 1886 -- James T.

Snodgrass, a farmer of Henderson County, now living on section 15, township 12 north, range 4 west, claims Illinois as the State of his nativity, his birth having occurred in Warren County on the 9th of June, 1856. He was one of twelve children born unto Daniel and Mary E. (Wimmer) Snodgrass. The father was a native of Tennessee, and throughout his life followed the occupation of farming. The mother was a dau. of Jacob Wimmer. The children of the family are: John, who now makes his home in Kansas; George W., a farmer of Nebraska; Jacob, a resident of Monmouth, Ill.; William H.; Thomas, who is located in Kirkwood, Ill.; Mary, deceased; Lynn, now of Nebraska; Hattie, widow of James Hanley, of Chicago; Charles, who resides in Nebraska; Martha, wife of N. Bitterman; and Daniel, deceased. William H. Snodgrass spent the first six years of his life in his native county, and then came with the family to Henderson county, where his time was passed in work upon the farm or in conning his lessons in the district schools of the neighborhood. Thus his education was acquired. He lived at home until twenty-two years of age, and then, starting out in life for himself, he began farming in Des Moines County, Iowa. For four years he made his home in the Hawkeye State, after which he returned to Illinois, and since 1882 he has lived upon the farm which is now his place of residence. On the 9th of October, 1879, was celebrated the marriage of Mr. Snodgrass and Miss Laura L. Rozell, dau. of James and Sarah (Hovey) Rozell. Eight children have been born to them, two sons and six daus.: Ida M., Pearl E., Sarah A., Maude E., Jennie M., Henry E., Robert J., and Minnie R. The family circle yet remains unbroken, and the children are still with their parents. Mr. Snodgrass votes with the Republican party, and holds membership with the Methodist Episcopal Church. He is a public-spirited and progressive citizen, who takes an active interest in everything pertaining to the welfare of the community. He has lived a quiet and unassuming life, giving the greater part of his time and attention to farm work, yet is recognized as a valued citizen of the community, and therefore it is with pleasure that we present to our readers this record of his life work. 1896 -- Minnie R.

Among the men of this class who have given Henderson County its substantial character, none is more truly representative than the man whose name is above. James Snodgrass, son of Daniel H. and Ellen (Wimmer) Snodgrass, was born in Oquawka Township, Henderson County, April 7, 1862. His grandparents were George and Julia (Henderson) Snodgrass, of Scotch and German nativity, respectively, and Jacob and Elizabeth (Morgan) Wimmer, of German birth. All of them were among the earliest settlers in Henderson County, where they acquired land aggregating many hundred acres. Daniel H. and Ellen (Wimmer) Snodgrass located at Little York after their marriage. After profitably operating leased farms for about a quarter of a century, Daniel bought land in Oquawka Township, but nine years later removed to Burlington, Iowa, where he was for five years a dealer in wood and coal. Since he closed out that enterpirse, his wife having died in 1873, he has been a member of the family of his son James. James Snodgrass remained with with father until 1888. On February 4, 1890, he married Miss Mattie May Anderson, born at Oquawka, a dau. of Martin and Gertrude (Nelson) Anderson. For twenty-one years after his marriage he lived on a rented farm which he had operated several years before that event. Then he bought 500 acres of land in Oquawka and Rozetta Townships, 350 acres of which he has under cultivation, devoting the balance to pasture. Giving first attention to general farming, he is at the same time successful with cattle and swine. Politically, Mr. Snodgrass adheres to the principles of the Republican party. While not in the accepted sense of the term an active politician, he is zealous for the public welfare and locally exercises no small influence for its promotion. His neighborliness and his public spirit have made him useful and respected. To Mr. and Mrs. Snodgrass have been born children whom they have named James Robert, Helen Adaline, Marjorie Mamie, and Edith Genevieve. [18 Jan] 1916 -- D. H.

Snodgrass, the owner of a good tract of land on section 23, Edford township, is one of the progressive farmers, who, though handicapped in his youth by the poverty and lack of opportunities, has won success and has profited greatly by the rise in agricultural land that has indicated the prosperity of Henry county. He was born on a farm on Moline Bluffs, Hampton township, Rock Island county, August 24, 1870, and is the son of John and Sarah (Jamerson) Snodgrass. There were but two children in the family, his elder brother, Benjamin, being a farmer in Hanna township. Frank A. Snodgrass was but three years of age when his father was killed by a stroke of lightning, and early had to seek his won fortunes in the world. When ten years of age he began to work by the day. His industry and ability having been proved through severe tests he was soon able to obtain employment by the month. The desire to get ahead in the world and the necessity of saving the greater part of his earnings having been inculcated in him, when he became twenty-one he found that he had one thousand dollars with which to start in business for himself. For seven years he rented from his uncle a farm in Hanna township, and then in 1895 bought a tract of ninety-five acres, paying fifty dollars an acre for it. In nine years it had more than doubled in value and he sold it for one hundred and five dollars an acre. He had also purchased one hundred and sixty acres at forty dollars and acre, and this, in the space of 6 years, has almost doubled in price, for when he disposed of it he received seventy-two dollars an acre for it. He next bought some land east of Geneseo for which he paid one hundred and thirty dollars an acre, and three years later sold it for one hundred and fifty-one dallars. He thereupon moved into the city of Geneseo where he has made his home to the present, though he contemplates moving in the near future to the farm he has purchased in Edford township. While he was renting of his uncle in Hanna township Mr. Snodgrass was married to Miss Clara Shafer, a native of that township and a dau. of William and Mary (Varns) Shafer. After Mrs. Snodgrass had completed the work of the district school she took a course in the Collegiate Institute in Geneseo. Two children have been born to Mr. and Mrs. Snodgrass: John Clinton, who was born in Hanna township, October 5, 1899, and Harry W., who was born in Hanna township, April 9, 1902. Both Mr. and Mrs. Snodgrass are members of the Methodist Episcopal church and will rear their children in that faith. Mr. Snodgrass has served the congregation of the local church for many years in the capacity of steward and as trustee. Politically he affiliates with the republican party and while he was a resident of Hanna township he acted as highway commissioner and for part of two terms was school trustee. His well developed business capacity and powers have enagled him to work his way steadily upward, and benefiting by the rise in land values, following his judicious investments, and by his intelligently directed energy he is now in the possession of a comfortable competency. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1910 Miracode 126-115-228: Ben Snodgrass 42-M-IL Lizzie Snodgrass 33-F-IL wife Ella M.

His father died shortly before his birth, as the result of an accident. When Solomon was very young, the mother with her two little sons, moved to Mercer Co., PA, where some time after she was united in marriage to Charles Whittick, who faithfully performed his duty to her fatherless children. At an early age Solomon was apprenticed to a blacksmith and after serving his time he worked at the trade until the year 1848, when he came to Illinois, being a young man of good moral character he soon found employment. In 1849 he was married to Mary Ann Atchison, who had preceded him to Illinois by a few months from the county in Pennsylvania. After his marriage he located in Mt. Carroll, Illinois, where he worked at his trade until 1854 when with his family he settled on a farm in Woodbine township Illinois. In 1901, with his wife and dau., Amelia, he left the farm and settled in the village of Woodbine. On March 23, 1903 Mr. Snodgrass was stricken with apoplexy leaving his left side paralysed. He received the best of care in every way and being of good constitution he partially recovered, but never regained the use of his left arm. Several months ago dropsy set in and he gradually failed in health until his death on March 20, 1905. Mr. Snodgrass was a man of temperate habits. He leaves his aged wife, and one son, James A. Snodgrass of Bates City Missouri and three daus., Mrs. G. P. Weir, Miss Amelia Snodgrass and Mrs. E. B. Logan, all of Woodbine Illinois, also two half brothers, Ervin Whittick of Los Angeles, California, John Whittick of Stony Point, Pennsylvania and a half sister living in Lena, Illinois. He also leaves eighteen grandchildren and a number of other relatives and friends. The funeral services were held at the house in Woodbine Wednesday morning at eleven o'clock, conducted by Rev. S. B. Myers, of Elizabeth. The music was furnished by A. H. Weir, Joseph Armitage, Mrs. M. E. Ashmore, Mrs. Robert Cobine and J. Samuel Ashmore. The remains were brought to Elizabeth on the train and interred in Oakwood cemetery. Mrs. Snodgrass wishes to thank all who so kindly assisted them during the sickness of the beloved husband and father. 2 Mar 1906 -- Mary A. Snodgrass, b. 4 Jan 1828, d. 2 Mar 1906, buried Elizabeth City Cemetery, wife of Solomon Snodgrass, d. 1905. - - - - - - - - - - Obituary: Mary Ann Snodgrass died at her home in the village of Woodbine, Jo Daviess Co., IL, 2 Mar 1906, after an illness of over two months, the immediate cause of her death being senile pneumonia. Her maiden name was Mary Ann Atchison. She was born 4 Jan 1828 in Mercer Co., PA. When a girl of eighteen, she came with her parents to Illinois. Three years after, on 2 Feb 1894, she was married to Solomon Snodgrass, from who she was separated by his death on 20 Mar 1905, after a married life of over 56 years, most of that time being spent on a farm in Woodbine township, Jo Daviess county. She was for many years a member of the Presbyterian church and endeavored to live a consistent Christian life according to the light given her. She was very fond of the Bible, and in the last few years of her life read little else. Her tastes were domestic, and she found the highest pleasure in being at hoome with her husband and children. She was charitable in the extreme. It has been said that no one was ever turned away hungry from her door. Four children mourn her loss: James A., of Bates City, MO; Alvina Weir and Austie Logan of Woodbine township; and Amelia Snodgrass, who lived with her mother in the village of Woodbine. Two brothers survive her, Rev. W. D. Atchison of Elgin, IL; and J. C. Atchison of Freeport, IL; also an aged sister, Mrs. Sarah McKensie of Woodbine township; and two half-brothers, Samuel Gault of Lanark and Mathew Gault of Elizabeth, IL. Her descendants number four children and nineteen grandchildren. The funeral services of Mrs. Snodgrass were held at the home in Woodbine Sunday afternoon, conducted by the Rev. Mr. Criissman, and the remains were brought to Elizabeth and intered in Oakwood cemetery. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1910 Miracode Elizabeth, 132-23-110: Amelia Snodgrass 50-F-IL (living alone) <1920 Jo Daviess Co., IL> [d/o Solomon Snodgrass & Mary Atchison] ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1920 Soundex Elizabeth, 156-27-9-28: Amelia Snodgrass 60-F-IL (living alone) <1910 Jo Daviess Co., IL> ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ############################################################################## ..head02cJOHNSON COUNTY -- ## JOHNSON COUNTY (formed 1812 from Randolph County) CENSUS RECORDS 1850 census transcription - NS ############################################################################## ..head02cKANE COUNTY -- ## KANE COUNTY (formed 1836 from LaSalle County) CENSUS RECORDS 1850 census transcription - NS 1860 census transcription - NS 1910 miracode - yes ****************************************************************************** RECORDS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1910 Miracode West Dundee, 136-56-11: James Snodgrass 30-M-KS Ida Snodgrass 32-F-IN wife Edgar Snodgrass 7-M-IL son Ray Snodgrass 5-M-IL son Harold Snodgrass 3-M-IL son <1900 Cook Co., IL; 1920 Kankakee Co., IL> 136-80-NR00: *** Isabel Snodgrass 15-F-IL inmate ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ ############################################################################## ..head02cKANKAKEE COUNTY -- ## KANKAKEE COUNTY (formed 1853 from Iroquois & Will Counties) CENSUS RECORDS 1900 census - yes 1910 miracode - yes 1920 soundex - yes HISTORY & GENEALOGY Portrait & Biographical Record of Kankakee Co., IL (1893) NS ****************************************************************************** RECORDS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1900 Census Bourbonnais Twp., Bradley, 103-33-12-67: Mary J.

Hist. of Madison Co., IL: pages 1027-8: Winfield Scott Powell... the proprietor of the leading tin works at Granite City, was born in Shelby county, Indiana, in 1872, and is a son of Wesley and Sarah E. (Powell) Talbert. The education of Mr. Powell was secured in the schools of Tipton county, Indiana, where he resided with his uncle, W. F. Powell, whom he so much admired as to adopt his name as his own. At the age of fourteen years he began to provide for himself, and being energetic and industrious found no trouble in securing employment among the farmers of his community, with whom he worked until he was seventeen years of age. At that time he took up railroading, and for three years was in the service of the Pennsylvania Lines, running between Logansport and Richmond, Indiana, and at the end of that period, wishing to better his condition, he decided to learn a trade and subsequently entered the employ of the American Tin Plate Company. In three years he had mastered his trade, and his work was so satisfactory that he was promoted to a good position in the tin mill, where he remained eight years, but eventually went to Newcastle, Indiana, where for some time he was employed in the shovel works. On April 22, 1890, Mr. Powell was united in marriage with Miss Rebecca A. Snodgrass, an estimable young lady who was born at Curtisville, Indiana, in 1870, d/o Titus and Elizabeth (Marshall) Snodgrass, farming people. There were eight children in the Snodgrass family, namely: Laura, Amanda, Sarah, Cora, James, Myrtle, Myrl and Rebecca. After the marriage of Mr. and Mrs. Powell they settled down to wedded life at Curtisville, where Mr. Power was employed on the railroad. Three children were born to this union, namely: Lawrence Wayne, Clo Leona and a little son who passed away in infancy. Lawrence Wayne (Scotty) Powell was educated in the public schools of Elwood, Indiana, where he was graduated with honors, and he was also a student for one year in the Washington school, Granite City. When still a small lad he became interested in roller skating, and he gradually developed into one of the speediest racers the game has known. After forty-three races, out of which he only lost three, and making a record of ninety-six miles and seventeen laps in six hours, when he was only fourteen years of age, he accepted the challenge of Will C. Smith, of Denver, Colorado, commonly known as Cowboy Smith, the American champion heel and toe walker. The conditions of the race called for the skater to cover a mile while the walker negotiated half of that distance, and the great crowd at Granite City which turned out saw one of the most exciting races ever witnessed, and were gratified to see their home boy, Scotty Powell, be returned the winner, he being the only man to defeat the champion in this kind of a contest. After leaving school he took up the trade with his father, and is now associated with him, the business having been located here for seven years. Miss Cleo Leona Powell received her education in Granite City, being first a student in the Washington school and later attending the McKinley high school. She has been under the instruction of the well known musician, Mrs. Jennie Jones, and her singing and playing show much promise of future attainments. Mr. Powell is a member of the Amalgamated Association of Iron and Tin Workers, with which he has been connected since 1896, and also holds membership in the Modern Woodmen of America, the Fraternal Order of Eagles and the Royal Order of Moose. In his political affiliations he is a staunch Republican, and cast his first vote for McKinley, of whom he was an ardent admirer. He was one of the three hundred delegates sent from Indiana to visit the president at Canton, Ohio, where he had the honor of shaking the martyred statesman's hand. The best interests of the community have always found in Mr. Powell an untiring worker, and he is ever ready to support movements which promise to be of benefit to Granite City. He and his wife have many warm, personal friends in this section, where they are regarded as upright Christian people, good neighbors and exemplary parents. Their children have received excellent educational advantages, and have grown to healthy man and womanhood, reflecting the greatest of credit on those who reared them. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1920 Soundex Alton, 187-31-5-77: Laura Snodgrass 46-F-IL [w/o John; she was 48 on 1910] Sarah Snodgrass 37-F-MO dau.

The eldest, Jane Young, married Robert Snodgrass, who was one of the company when the Young family moved to Marion county. Samuel Young with his wife and youngest child, Mathew, came to Illinois and stopped at Shawneetown about the year 1803, and remained there about six years. The rest of the family, some of whom were married, remained in Tennessee until the father should find a suitable location when they were to come. About 1810 Mrs. Young died near Shawneetown... - - - - - - - - - - - pages 862-3: John A. Snodgrass. The gentleman whose name initiates this sketch has shown by a long life of industry and honesty that he is entitled to a place in the history of Marion county. John A. Snodgrass was born August 28, 1836, in Scott county, Indiana, the son of Samuel Snodgrass, a native of Kentucky, who was born in 1800 and who married Mira Hardy of New Hampshire. He lived in Kentucky until 1818, when he went to Jefferson county, Indiana, with his father, Hugh, where he lived until his death in 1850. He was a farmer and a member of the Christian church, also a temperance worker and a member of the Sons of Temperance. His wife died in 1851. Seven children were born to them, namely: Norma, deceased; Marion, who died in Pilot Knob, Missouri, in 1863, was a soldier in the Union army; Tirzah is single and always lived with the subject; Mary married Solomon Cutshall, a farmer at Patoka, Illinois; John, subject of this sketch; Alonzo, a plasterer in Oklahoma, was in Company H, Twenty-second Illinois Infantry, for two years, later re-enlisting; Lambert, who is deceased, lived with the subject in Centralia. John A. Snodgrass received a limited education in the subscription schools of the early days. He lived at home, assisting with the work about the place, until the President's call for loyal citizens to aid in suppressing the rebellion induced him to enter the conflict, having enlisted in September, 1862, in Company H, 22nd Indiana Volunteer Infantry at Lexington, Indiana. He was sent to Kentucky and Tennessee, and was in the engagements at Perryville, Lancaster, Nolansville and Murfreesboro, having fought seven days at Stone River. He was taken sick after that battle and was in the field hospital, later sent to Nashville, still later to Louisville, suffering with rheumatism and fever, becoming so sick that he was given up by the physicians to die. He was discharged from the army for disability, October 20, 1863, after which he returned home, where he remained until the spring of 1866, when he came to Illinois and located one mile west of Central City on a farm. He then came to Centralia township, where he remained three years, moving one and one-half miles south of Centralia, where he has remained for the past twenty-six years. He bought a home and three lots in Centralia, and in 1900 purchased his present splendid home at 1301 South Locust street. He has farmed, made brick and teamed, making a success at each. He retired in 1906. Mr. Snodgrass was married in 1868 to Mary Crawford, of Centralia, the dau. of Zachariah Crawford, of Kentucky, who in 1840 came to Illinois, locating two miles west of Centralia. He was a blacksmith and also owned a good farm. The subject's wife passed away in 1870. Mr. Snodgrass has one dau., Lulu, who is the wife of Charles Phillips, of Centralia. He is now engaged in the round house of the Illinois Central Railroad. Our subject has reared two of his brother's children, John and Lizzie Snodgrass. Mr. Snodgrass is a member of the Grand Army of the Republic, the post at Centralia, and his sister is a member of the Christian church. Our subject is a fine old man whom everybody likes and everybody respects and honors for his life of industry and loyalty to high principles. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1910 Miracode Centralia, 157-136-149: William White *** Jane Snodgrace 68-F-IL mother-in-law <1900 Marion Co., IL> Sandoval, 157-154-133: George Snodgrass 33-M-IL (black) [George A.
