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.

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 L2462..7..0 1/2 as entered in the said Books. 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 and 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 at Todds during the said series of years or by any other person or persons whatsoever to their knowledge and belief, and in what propotion annually. The Complt. was by no means ( ) to pry into the secrets of their Trade but as he purchased by way of whole sale he expected to deal on better terms than the generosity of Customers, especially considering the agreements and proposals aforesaid, and that the said Archibald McCall might in like manner declare whether the goods in the said Store were advanced on the first cost either by himself or by other person or persons whomsoever to his knowledge or belief and to what amount beefore the advance agreed on was seperated and that the said WILLIAM SNODGRASS might in like manner declare whether the goods purchased by the Complainant at the said Store were advanced on the first cost either by himself or by any other person or persons whomsoever to his knowledge or belief and to what amount before the advance agreed on was 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 and consequently would take more goods, whether the Complt. was not to be allowed the same price for Tobo. as was given by the Port Royal Merchants, whether he did not remember that sometime after the .... ############################################################################## CARROLL COUNTY SOURCES (975.5714) CEMETERY RECORDS Cemetery Records of Carroll Co., VA (Carroll Co.

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.

Reg., vol. 3, page 80). 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 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. ############################################################################## FAIRFAX COUNTY & the cities of FAIRFAX & FALLS CHURCH SOURCES (975.5291, 975.5292, & 975.5293) CENSUS RECORDS 1920 soundex - yes ****************************************************************************** RECORDS ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1920 Soundex 19-117-5-54: Motor Transport Corps 38, Camp Humphres, VA *** Paul T.

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. ---------------------- Probate Index: Book 3 -- page 363: Joseph Snodgrass, appraisal. page 401: Joseph Snodgrass, settlement. page 553: John G.
