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! Please send items (with sources cited!) you want to share with others to: Paul D.

Snodgrass.--This name is borne by a prominent citizen of Pikeville, Bledsoe county, who has spent his entire life in the eastern part of Tennessee. Mr. Snodgrass is an attorney-at-law by profession, and has held a number of important offices in the county. He has become well known as a gentleman well versed in law, mentally gifted and courteous, and has been a potent factor in the political and legal life and welfare of Bledsoe and surrounding counties. He was born August 5, 1857, a son of Dr. Thomas and Eliza (Evans) Snodgrass. Doctor Snodgrass represented White county in the legislature before the war. His sympathies were for the Union during the years of dispute as to the justice of slavery, and it caused him no discomfort to see his own slaves liberated. He had a brother who was a captain in the Confederate army, and several others who held minor offices or were in the rank, and one or two were killed during their service. He made his home in Sparta for a long time, operating a large cotton factory, selling goods and practicing law and medicine. About the year 1878 he moved to Crossville, Tenn., for his health, and has since been engaged in the practice of law and medicine in partnership with his son, C. E. Snodgrass, in that city. His wife, Mrs. Eliza (Evans) Snodgrass, is a daughter of Colonel Sevier Evans, who fought in the war of 1812. She was born in White county, Tenn. Doctor and Mrs. Snodgrass are the parents of a family of eleven children, ten of whom are now living, viz: Sevier, a physician in Texas; Judge David L., chief justice of the supreme court of the state of Tennessee; Jennie, wife of R. H. Swafford, of Crossville; Lou, wife of V. Carrick, of White county; William E., the subject of this sketch; Mattie, wife of W. C. Baker, of Crossville; Susie, who died at the age of eighteen; C. E., a prominent attorney of Crossville; Tom, of Crossville; James T., of Crossville; and Annie May, wife of Judge E. G. Tollett, of Oklahoma. William E. Snodgrass attended the academy at Sparta and the Burritt College at Spencer. After completing his course of study he taught school for a time, and then began to read law in his father's office and was admitted to the bar at Crossville, in 1884. In 1885 he was united in marriage to Mrs. Addie L. Norwood, daughter of Colonel S. B. Northrop, and soon after moved to Bledsoe county, and has since made that his home. He was appointed state's attorney for the counties of Cumberland, Van Buren and Bledsoe to collect the back tax, and held that office until his task was completed. Mr. Snodgrass has built up for himself an extensive practice, and has long been recognized as one of the leading members of the Bledsoe county bar. Thoroughly learned in the law, always a student as well as a practitioner; with not only a quick but a comprehensive mind, earnest in his convictions, able in his assertion of them; devoted to the interests intrusted to his keeping, he has few superiors as a well equipped practitioner. Mr. and Mrs. Snodgrass have five children, whose names in the order of their birth are as follows: Nannie, Burt, Eliza, Tom and Ed. ========================== ========= The Story of My Search, by Charlou Dolan: Trying to get a handle on some of the Snodgrasses that moved into and out of Tennessee, I decided to start with Bledsoe Co. First I checked the deed records--no pre-1850 deeds. Just on a chance, I also checked the survey books, and sure enough, there they were, a veritable plethora of Snodgrasses. So the next problem was to find what they had done with the land, and, hopefully, get a clue as to where they had moved when they left Bledsoe County. I re-checked the deed indexes, just in case somehow I hadn't figured out how the indexes were organized and had missed finding the page with the Snodgrasses. Still didn't find any Snodgrass grantor deeds until 1893! Next I checked the deed indexes for the counties that had been made out of Bledsoe i.e. Van Buren (1840), Cumberland (1856), and Sequatchie (1858). Still a blank--by this time I had spent several hours batting my head against this particular stone wall, with absolutely no results! So I went to the maps, using the place names mentioned in the surveys, and trying to find maps with a large enough scale to show the little creeks...and as far as I could determine, the land lay within the present boundaries of Bledsoe County...AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHH! After talking to several experts there in the library, I finally found someone who appeared to know what was going on. It seems that whereas a survey was a necessary prerequisite to getting a land grant, there was no guarantee that the person having the survey done would ever complete the purchase of the land. Evidently, for some unknown reason, all these Snodgrasses left Bledsoe Co. without actually owning the land they'd had surveyed. There may be another explanation as to why there were no deeds for this land, but I have decided to leave any further efforts in this direction for someone else!

Apr 1779 -- History of Hamilton County, pages 164-170: The Chickamauga Expedition. Early in 1779, Chief Dragging Canoe had collected from the hostile tribes, on t he waters of the Ohio and the Tennessee, morre than a thousand warriors. His chief town was Chickamauga. These warriors committed more deprediations on the frontiers than all the other Indians together. They were encouraged and equipped by British agents, who circulated freely among them, distributing rewards. Gov. Henry Hamilton, British Governor at Detroit, planned a grand coalition among all the Northern and Southern Indians. His strategic plan was to be aided by the British regular troops, who were to advance from the coast, when the Indians should make a simultaneous attack upon the entire frontier. The settlements, crushed between the two forces, whould have been entirely destroyed. In the prosecution of his plan, Gov. Hamilton had advanced from Detroit, had recaptured Vincennes, and contemplated an expedition against Kaskaskias, where he expected to be joined by 500 Cherokees and Chickasaws. Meanwhile, immense stores of ammunition, weapons, goods, cattle, horses, and money, were sent secretly from Pensacola, FL, to Chickamauga (which had been selected as headquarters) for the representatives of the tribes to carry to their followers. Ellis Harlan, a Scotish trader, heard rumors of the plan and saw that the warriors were gathering. He hastened to the Holston, where the pioneers of what is now upper East Tennessee were settled, and told his news to Col. Evan Shelby. Capt. James Robertson, agent for North Carolina among the Indians, and Capt. Joseph Martin, agent for Virginia among the Indians, had already learned that the Chickamaugas were in close touch with the British agents and that they were receiving great quantities of supplies from Pensacola. They had notified Gov. Richard Caswell, of North Carolina, and Gov. Patrick Henry, of Virginia, of these facts, and the two Governors were therefore somewhat prepared for the news that Col. Shelby transmitted to them. They realized the danger of the situation and determined to destroy the Chickamauga stronghold. Col. Shelby, who was then an officer of the Virginia Militia (survey of the line between Virginia and North Carolina subsequently proved that Col. Shelby's home was in North Carolina; his later service in the Revolution, therefore, was as an officer of North Carolina troops), was ordered to organize an expedition for that purpose, but the two states, straitened as they were in their resources by the expenses of the Revolution, were unable to advance any considerable sums for supplies and transportation. Col. Shelby summoned his friends and neighbors to a council. The response was enthusiastic. The Scotish trader had been unable to learn the date of the proposed attack upon the frontier, but the Americans knew that no time was to be lost if the country was to be saved. As the news flashed through the settlements, practically all the men who were not already in service in the armies in the Carolinas volunteered. Col. John Montgomery, who had been with George Rogers Clark, was detached from that service and ordered to join Col. Shelby. He commanded 150 men. Col. Shelby had raised 350 volunteers. The 500 men (Ramsey is in error in stating that 1,000 men participated in the Expedition, and some historians have continued to use his figures) rendezvoused at the mouth of Big Creek, a few miles above the site of Rogersville, 20 Mar 1779. Canoes and pirogues were made from the tall poplars of the neighboring forests, and in three weeks Col. Shelby was ready to embark. The women of the settlements contributed their part to the expedition by bringing supplies of provisions--bread and cooked meats. The troops embarked in the small fleet 10 Apr 1779 for their journey down the Tennessee River. The pilot was John Hudson, the only man in the party who had ever been in the wild country before. J. Woolridge, in the History of Nashville, gives April 13 as the date the expedition reached the Chickamauga and the date of the battle. When the fleet reached the mouth of Chickamauga Creek, the boats turned up that stream. Near the mouth of a smaller creek an Indian was taken prisoner and compelled to act as guide. The troops waded through an inundated canebrake to the principal Chickamauga town, which was one mile in length. The two chiefs, Dragging Canoe and Big Fool, were there with many of their followers. There were also many Tories and British agents, who had taken up their residence in the Chickamauga towns. The Indians and their allies were astonished by the invasion of their stronghold by water, and being completely surprised, were entirely overcome. They fled to the mountains, leaving the great quantities of British supplies to be captured by the Americans. The American soldiers pursued the Indians to the other towns, destroying in all eleven villages, among them probably Sitico and Tsatanugi. Little Owl's Town was destroyed. John McCroskey led a party of men who crossed the river and (according to Ramsey) burned a village on "Laurel Creek." There is no other mention of a Laurel Creek in Hamilton Co. records, and it was probably Falling Water Creek, where great tangles of laurel have always grown. A large Indian town is known to have existed near Falling Water Creek about that time. Horses, cattle, guns, ammunition, goods, and supplies of every sort, to the value of twenty thousand English pounds, were taken back to the American settlements. This amount, which was equal to $100,000, would be equal to at least ten times that much in today's currency. The soldiers burned or otherwise destroyed everything they could not take away. In addition to the great amount of stores that had been assembled by the British agents to be delivered to the Indians throughout the northern and southern country, the Americans found quantities of furs that belonged to Capt. John McDonald, a British agent and Indian trader, who had a store at Chickamauga. After the Indians were completely routed, Col. Shelby prepared to return overland to the American settlements. After crossing the Tennessee River near the mouth of Chickamauga Creek, he ordered all canoes and pirogues sunk in the river. On the bank of a stream on the north side of the Tennessee River, he ordered a sale of the captured horses, cattle, and weapons. A receipt, preserved by chance, proves the approximate date of the battle and the time of departure of the trooops: Chickamauga Twon, April 29, 1779. This is to certify that Col. Evan Shelby Bou't a black horse branded thus, L, about six years old for 120 pounds. (signed) Aaron Lewis, William Parker The creek took the name "Sale Creek," and is still called that today. Having ordered the destruction of the canoes and pirogues, Col. Shelby marched his troops overland through the wilderness to the settlements on the Holston and Watauga. On the forced march, the men suffered from lack of provisions, but they were the first white men (other than the traders, who allied themselves with the Indians) to see the new country, which included the present day counties of Knox, Rhea, Roane, Hamilton, Meigs, Polk, Bledsoe, Sequatchie, Bradley, Monroe, and others. Their reports to the settlers of the upper Tennessee country caused an instant and unceasing migration of settlers into the new country. The Chickamauga Expedition then, not only turned tide of the American Revolution, but it also set into motion a steady stream of immigration into lower Tennessee. The upper portion of the new country was settled first, and the immigrants went farther south by degrees. Hamilton County was the last segment of this land to receive an influx of settlers. The Chickamaugas and Dragging Canoe managed to delay the settlement for many years. Col. Shelby was thanked by Continental Congress for his ability and promptness, and for the successful termination of the Chickamauga Expedition. Very few names of the 500 men who took part in the expedition are known; if there was a roster made, it has not survived. Such names as are known have been gleaned from occasional references in other records, pension statements, etc. The troops, both known and unknown, made a great contribution to the success of the American Revolution and to the settlement of lower East Tennessee.

It is said that when Virginia and North Carolina were unable to finance the Expedition, Isaac Shelby, captain and commissary officer in the Virginia Militia, loaned the necessary funds from his personal resources, knowing full well that in case they failed, the debt could never be paid. He afterward became the first Governor of Kentucky. The success of the Chickamauga Expedition prevented Gov. Hamilton's proposed coalition of the hostile tribes, saved the settlements along the entire length of the frontier, and led directly to the final American victory at Yorktown. Because it was fought largely by troops not in the regular Army, but by volunteers from the mountain region, in a place and period in which communication was difficult, has contributed to the fact that the Chickamauga Expedition has had less notice in history books than has been given to many less important battles near the Atlantic Coast. But for the success at Chickamauga, there would have been no Battle at King's Mountain, no Battle at Yorktown, and the American Revolution would doubtless have been only the "Rebellion of his majesty's subjects in the American Colonies." The Chickamauga Expedition deserves to rank among the most important of the Revolutionary campaigns. Undertaken almost without funds and without hope of reward, it remains an outstanding example of pure patriotism. The men who volunteered faced grave dangers and prolonged deprivation, not only to protect their own homes, but also to protect the homes and lives of thousands of men and women whom they would never know or see. The following comment made by Judge Samuel Cole Williams, a well known hisstorian in his Address at Chickamauga in May 1929, is interesting and valuable: "The battle was fought against Indians, but against Indians financed, equipped, and incited by British agents. The foe was not less dangerous but more dangerous because it was savage. The significance of the struggle in the Southwest lies in the fact that had not the Indian allies of great Britain been opposed and defeated time and time again by the western soldiery of the upper East Tennessee Valley, the red men would have invaded Virginia and North Carolina and forced the soldiers of Gen. Washington to face about and confront them, leaving the seaboard an easy prey to the Brigish naval and land forces and [to] the Tories of the Piedmont region." ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1840 Hamilton Co Census page 170: Robert Snodgrass = 1 m 0-5, 1 m 20-30, 1 m 60-70, 1 f 20-30, 1 f 50-60. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1850 Hamilton Co Census #1569/1569: Eliot Snotgrass 33-M-GA farmer, $300 [Elliot Snodgrass ?] Louesianna Snotgrass 35-F-GA Andrew Snotgrass 10-M-TN William Snotgrass 9-M-TN <1860 Burleson Co., TX> 102-116: A.

White, the law partner of Francis Marion Walker, resided in a handsome home at the corner of Fourth and Chestnut streets. It had mantels that were six feet high. Attorney White was a native of Hawkins Co., the son of the Rev. George White and Sarah Snodgrass White. His grandfather was Peter White, who came to America from England at an early date and married Mary Parley in Virginia. Their son was George White, who was born in 1784. He left Virginia as a young man and settled in Hawkins Co. Sarah Snodgrass was born in 1788 in Sullivan Co., which adjoins Hawkins Co. Her father was Colonel William Snodgrass. He was born in 1760 at Frederick Co., VA, the son of David and Mary Elder Snodgrass. Colonel William Snodgrass was with Evan Shelby in the Chickamauga expedition, and he fought with Andrew Jackson in the Florida Indian wars. Colonel William Snodgrass was also in the thick of the fighting at Kings Mountain. John W. White had moved to Chattanooga from Rogersville in the early 1850s and soon built up a large legal practice. He was active in city government, serving as an alderman, and was in the state legislature in 1857-58. White was accused of forging land warrants, and he became scared and left Chattanooga in the latter part of 1858. On his way to California, he found the body of a dead man at a lonely cabin, and switched shirts and identifying papers with the dead man. The Memphis Appeal of 13 Nov 1858 carried this account: "We learn from Mr. J. S. Brooks and Mr. Wm. Ponder, both of Haywood County in this State, who have just returned from Arkansas, that when they were ten or twelve miles this side of Clarendon, on the military road near White river, they were informed that a dead body had been found and was lying in a deserted log hut by the road side--that the Coroner had held an inquest over the remains--that no marks of violence were found upon the body, and nothing appeared to show how death occurred, the jury had returned a verdict of death from causes unknown. "A watch and chain were found upon the body, some letters and several valuable notes, and also a name marked upon the shirt worn by the deceased, showed him to be Mr. J. W. White, of Chattanooga, TN, who was arrested, some time ago, on the charge of forging land warrants, discharged on trial, and arrested and held in $15,000 bail for his appearance to take another trial. "There was no horse found on which the deceased might have been riding, his boots were very muddy. At the time our informant passed, two men were digging a grave to bury him, just by the cabin where he lay. They were intoxicated, and their appearance, and that of the desolate spot where the hut stood, were so disagreeable and so suggestive of unpleasant reflections, that the two gentlemen rode away with very unpleasant impressions upon their minds. We presume the family of the deceased, who was greatly respected among his neighbors, will cause an examination to be made into the circumstances of his death." John W. White, traveling under his assumed name, continued on to California. Making a new start there, he became a prominent attorney and eventually was the state attorney general. Later family members said it was eventually disclosed that another person was guilty of forging the land warrants. John Fletcher White, a brother of John W. White [and s/o the Rev. George White & Sarah Snodgrass], also came to Hamilton Co. Fletcher White was born in 1824 at Rogersville. He had enrolled at Holton College when the Mexican War broke out. He formed a unit to fight in that war, and he was wounded in one incident. Fletcher White settled on a farm in the county, and he became the first county judge of Hamilton Co. He married Martha Faw, who was a native of Switzerland. - - - - - - - - - - page 251: Attorney David Snodgrass came to Chattanooga from his native Sparta. He was the son of an attorney and physician named Thomas Snodgrass and Eliza Evans Snodgrass. David Snodgrass was one of ten children. He attended the University of Tennessee before opening his law practice at Sparta. Snodgrass served in the legislature as a representative of White County in 1879-80. Soon after his arrival in Chattanooga, he was appointed by the Tennessee Supreme Court as one of the judges of the Court of Referees. - - - - - - - - - - page 255: David L. Snodgrass lived in a two-story frame house with a wind-around porch across the street from the Case and Souder residences. Following his service on the Court of Referees, Snodgrass was elected as a member of the Tennessee Supreme Court. William Snodgrass resided in a sprawling frame home down the hill at Fifth and Houston. The latter Snodgrass was a partner in the Snodgrass and Fields Sawmill. The sawmill was located on Payne Street (Battery Place) near the end of Lindsay Street. Logs were brought down the Tennessee Riveer and lifted up a chute to the sawmill. - - - - - - - - - - page 272: William Henry Trotter, following the death of his former partner Robert Peeples, invited his two older brothers to join him in business in Chattanooga. John McLane Trotter and Thomas Orlando Trotter had been operating a retail grocery at Dalton. The three brothers formed the Trotter Brothers firm at 609 Market Street, changing from the retail to the wholesale field. Thomas Orlando Trotter married Louise Snodgrass, a daughter of Justice David Snodgrass. - - - - - - - - - - page 448: A brick law office was built at the site of the old Judge David Snodgrass place at the southeast corner of Fifth and Lindsay streets. The William Snodgrass house at the foot of East Fifth Street was divided into apartments. - - - - - - - - - - page 451: The old Henry Clay Beck home at the end of Rivervista Drive in North Chattanooga was destroyed by fire in 1974. It had remained in the same family since it was built in 1875. Charles Hon, Jr., and Mrs. W. Edward Snodgrass, grandchildren of Henry Clay Beck, built fine homes on Rivervista drive by the old homeplace. The Sherman Beck home on Mississippi Avenue in North Chattanooga remained in the Beck family. The Beck cemetery, where Joshua Beck and others of his family were buried, was bulldozed away shortly after the fire at the Henry Clay Beck house. The bulldozer driver had not been alerted that the old headstones were there. The graveyard was at number three green at the Chattanooga Golf and Country Club. The slave cemetery of the Beck family was fenced and preserved near North Dartmouth Street in North Chattanooga. A historical marker was erected at this site. ############################################################################ ## HANCOCK COUNTY (formed 1844 from Claiborne & Hawkins Counties) CENSUS RECORDS 1880 soundex - yes 1910 miracode - yes **************************************************************************** ** RECORDS Hancock Co., TN, & Its People (Hancock Co.

Robert R. Overton and wife Mary Ann Parkey moved their young family from Claiborne Co. to a large farm in the upper Mulberry Valley around 1877. Their land was located on both sides of Mulberry Creek and contained both rolling ridges and mountain slope. Robert was born in Claiborne Co. in 1844. He was the sixth child of Taylor Overton, and the grandson of James Overton who immigrated via Holland to Pittsburgh, PA, before coming to TN. Robert was one of five brothers and two sisters. He served in the Union Army during the Civil War, enlisting for three years on 12 Jun 1863 at Barbourville, KY. He was assigned with the rank of private to company "G," 8th Regiment, Tennessee Cavalry, where he served his enlistment, rising to the rank of Second Lieutenant before his discharge 11 Sep 1865 at the age of 21. Mary Ann Parkey Overton was born in Claiborne Co. in 184_. She was the daughter of William and Mary Ann Martin Parkey. Robert and Mary Ann Overton raised seven sons and two daughters. Their original home is still standing in 1989. They made their living and prospered raising cattle and sheep and other farming enterprises. They participated in establishing churches, schools, and roads in the community. Robert died in 1903, and Mary Ann died in 1931. They are buired in a family cemetery near Mulberry Gap. Their children are Lon, Taylor, Isaac T., Charlie, James, Henly, Frank, Cornie, and Dora. The children, except for Issac T., had moved away from the valley by the 1920s. Issac T. "Tip" Overton (b. 18 Sep 18783 ? 1878 ?) married Emma Snodgrass (b. 13 Feb 1881) in 1901. They lived a long and happy married life of 59 years on land they purchased adjacent to his parents' home place, in a house they built in their early years. The house is still standing in 1989. Tip and Emma Overton were admired and respected in the Mulberry Valley and throughout the county for their honesty, compassion, citizenship, Christian principles, and success in their farming enterprises. They instilled these qualities in their six daughters, and influenced their nineteen grandchildren. They were members of and supported Mulberry Gap Baptist church. Timber from their farm was donated to the new church building for roof trusses. They supported education in the community and helped with the building of the original Mulberry Gap school building. Tip used his mule team to haul logs and lumber for this building. Two of their daughters were later teachers at the same school. During their early years, they farmed two hundred acres, raising cattle, sheep, hogs, poultry, and grops. Each year, Tip would go on cattle buying trips to the districts south of Sneedville. In later years, a well known writer for a Knoxville newspaper who came from Hancock Co. mentioned Tip in two different columns in connection with his memoirs of those buying trips. During the depression, Emma would send lunches to school by her teacher daughter, to be given to certain needy children. She was such a compassionate person that on her deathbed, when the nurses brought her milk to drink, she wondered out loud if certain poor children might not need the milk more than she did. Tip and Emma loved their family, their neighbors, and friends, and they were loved in return. The children of Tip and Emma Overton are Willie Mae, Mary Neal, Julia, Dora, Johnny Clyde, and Mossie Kate. Willie Mae married Glen B. Drinnon, lived all her life in Mulberry Valley, and reared thirteen children. Mary Neal married Forest Baldwin and now lives in Strawberry Plains, TN. She taught school in Hancock & Knox Counties for over 40 years. Johnny Clyde married Willard Chambers. They and their four children moved to Virginia. Mossie Kate married Guy Rhea and continued to live in her parents' home place until Guy's death. She then married Clyde Campbell, and now lives at Halls Crossroads. She taught school in Hancock Co. for over 30 years. She still maintains the homeplace, where Tip and Emma's descendants gather often to enjoy the quiet, pastoral solitude of Mulberry Valley. Tip and Emma both died in 1960, and are buried in the Cemetery on their land. (submitted by Kenneth C.

His stone reads "E. Newton Snodgrass." Since he had an uncle Elisha (my great grandfather) and a cousin Elisha (my grandfather's nephew) he thought it was time to branch out and call himself Newt. To recapitulate: in the 1900 census he is Elisha M. Snodgrass in Coleman County [TX] and in 1910 he's Nute Snodgrass in Midland County [TX]. In 1880 he was a child in the household of his parents David C. and Sarah A. Snodgrass in White County, Tenn.

Townsend was a friend of Boone and in the midseventies arranged with Boone to select lands in Kentucky for him and several of his neighbors who wished to settle there. Bown 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, and over onto the Little Kenawah 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, brrewing since dawn, struck with fierce winds and "some hail," and cointinued 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. - - - - - - - - - - ################## end TN ####################
