1980 -- Ark. Fam. Historian, vol. 18, page 156:
A book listing the descendants of two "SNODGRASS" Families has been compiled as a "finding list" by Q. A. Hardin, Drawer 2797, Fort Smith, AR 72913. Our thanks to the compiler for donating this book to our AGS Library. Section 1 is about "Some Descendants of David Snodgrass", of Washington Co., VA, 1780-1814. Section 2 is about "Some Descendants of John Snodgrass," Washington Co., VA. The descendants are listed alphabetically, and each name has an identifying coded Family Group Number.
It is the hope of Mr. Hardin that he will hear from other members of these families in order to establish connections between all Snodgrass Lineages. There are many pictures of the people listed. If anyone would like further information about a specific family group listed, they may contact Mr. Hardin and send $1 per family for group sheet. This is a unique method for obtaining further information about these family members.

History of Benton County WASHINGTON COUNTY. John R. Flinn,merchant and miller
of Evansville, is the son of Hugh and Martha A. (Cottrell) Flinn. The father
was born in Ireland in 1803, and the mother in Alabama in 1806. The father
immigrated to America in 1835; had previously served a seven years'
apprenticeship at the stone-cutter's trade, and was an excellent workman. He
cut the columns for the Missouri State capitol, and did the carving on the
seminary at the capital of the Indian Territory. Having found his way to
Arkansas. he made this State his home until his death, which occurred in 1880.
The mother grew to womanhood in her native State, and here married a man by the
name of Thurston. She bore him two children, and after his death she moved to
Arkansas, where she married Mr. Flinn, and bore him two sons. She is still
living. The youngest son, John R., was born December 15, 1847, in Crawford
County, Ark., where he was reared and educated. In 1865 he married Miss Julia
A. Snodgrass, a native of Franklin County, Ark., and to them were born nine
children, six now living. After farming until 1875 Mr. Flinn left Crawford
County, and moved to Washington County, locating in Evansville, where he bought
the Evansville Grist and Saw-mill. This mill he has owned ever since, and has
just added a cotton-gin, in which Mr. J. M. Chandler is partner. Mr. Flinn is a
member of the Masonic fraternity, is Democratic in his politics, and has been
postmaster at Evansville for eight years. His wife, his mother and his eldest
daughter are members of the Presbyterian Church.

2 Jan 1896 -- Benton Co. Democrat.
(from The Seligman, Mo. Sunbeam) Our little city was thrown into a great state
of excitement on Christmas Eve. After the merry distribution of the many
presents of the tree at the Union church and the dismissal of the crowd
everything seemed bright and serene until a crowd of boys gathered on the
street, some of whom were intoxicated, and a difficulty soon arose. It seems
that Eugene Murray and Frank Snodgrass were the first to have words which
resulted in blows. About this time, Abijah Fairchild, who was deputized to
assist the constable in keeping order, arrived on the scene and attempted to
quell the disturbance but Walter Murray, an older brother of Eugene, interfered
and wanted the boys to fight it out. A few words passed between him and
Fairchild when he threw off his coat, drew a knife and made at Fairchild,
cutting him in the left side. Fairchild drew a pistol and fired three shots at
Murray, the last one taking effect in Murray's head just above the left eye and
penetrated the brain. Although unconscious he lingered for nearly 48 hours
before death. The remains were interred at New Salem cemetery Friday. Abijah
Fairchild's wound is not serious and he is now convalescent. At the coroner's
inquest it was decided to hold him, and he was placed under a $3,000 bond to
appear for preliminary examination before Squire Patterson on Tuesday, 31 Dec.
This is a sad affair as both these young men belong to good families and were
not of age, both being about 19 years old.

[From The MACE Vol. XVI, No. 1 - April 1997]
Joseph Snodgrass, b. abt. 1860, m. Dora Bell Combs, July 23, 1900 - Arkansas
Submitted by: Grace Kirk, 3506 Mayberry, Enid, OK 73703
'I have been researching the Snodgrass family for years and have had almost no
luck. My grandfather was Joseph Snodgrass, born about 1860, place unknown. He
married Dora Bell Combs on July 23, 1900 in Craighead County, Arkansas. They
had one child James S. (Jim), my father, born April 15, 1906. He married Lena
White Watkins. They are all deceased now. My father was raised by a foster
family named Thomas. He never knew any of his family so I am having a very difficult
time tracing any of them. Any help or suggestions would be appreciated.'
Editor's Reply: In subsequent correspondence with you regarding the place of
death of your grandfather Joseph Snodgrass, you provided the following: 'I do
not even know for sure that Joseph died in Arkansas, nor do I know that he died
when he left my dad (Jim) with the Thomas family. My thoughts were that it was
probably too much for him to handle a five (5) year old child as a single
parent back in 1907. He would have been approximately forty-seven (47) years
old at that time, a rather young person. I feel he probably remarried and
raised another family but where I do not have a clue. My father used to keep in
touch with the Thomas sisters (they are now deceased). It was believed the
Thomas family was related to the Snodgrass family, but no proof. Here is what I
have: Jack Thomas and Pearl Thomas Children: Grace Thomas; Novella Thomas;
& Bo Thomas. There may have been other children but these are the ones my
father kept in touch with. They all lived in Fisher, Arkansas.' Fisher is in
Poinsett County, just below Craighead County, in the northeast corner of
Arkansas, my native state. Many of our members are very good at research and do
well with a challenge such as you have presented. Let us know if you receive
any data from one or more of them. Meanwhile, we will keep your need in an
'open file' until we both reach a conclusion. (Paul D. Snodgrass, Editor The
MACE, April 1997)
[from an email to Suzie Snodgrass Schoolcraft]
my Aunt (Grace Kirk) has conversed with you. We are still looking for info on
Joseph Snodgrass age 40 married to a Dora Bell Combs age 18 , July 1900. Son -
Jim or James born 1092 April. They married Craighead County Arkansas. [Linda
told vss 29 Sep 98 that her grandfather James said his father's name was Joseph
Samuel Snodgrass !] I do have a picture of Joseph Snodgrass along with several
other men at what looks like a logging/mining camp. Also have a picture that
has Henry Snodgrass written on the back with his wife and 3 children. Henry is
standing next to Joseph in the group picture. Given the ages of the children
Henry would be a brother (although they don't favor) or a nephew. Being that
Joseph was 40 when he married Dora he surely was married before her. Have you
any ideas?

[p.486] ERA OF SETTLEMENT
page 489
"Soon after the present county of Crawford was attached to and made a part of
the original Crawford, many of the settlers removed across the river into the
newly annexed territory lying north of the river and south of the Boston
Mountains. The first permanent settlements made in the annexed territory were
in 1828-29 in what are now the counties of Pope, Johnson, Franklin and
Crawford-Crawford embracing them all at that time. I regret that I have only
data to give a few of the names of the early settlers of Crawford and Franklin.
There were on White Oak the Russells, Gilbreaths, Merideths, Meltons, Huggins,
McLaughlins, Lanes and others; the Bourlands followed a few years later. On
Mulberry, the Beans, Quesenburys, Russells, Hendersons, Maxeys, Moores, Jesse
Miller, Simpsons, Snodgrass, Reeves, Mosses, Williams and others. On Frog
[p.489] Bayou the Corders, Larrimores, Smoots. Scotts, McPhails, Prices,
Trammells, Howards, Bashams, Orricks, Mooneys, Peters and others. On Lee's Creek
the Moores, Peevehouses, Harrells, Howells, Forristers, Dodges, Blacks,
Martins, Paynes, Smiths, Mobleys, Swearingens, Shannons, Barkers, Olivers and
others. Among the early settlers of Crawford County may also be mentioned David
Thompson, John Drennen, John Henry, Edward Cunningham, the Hindes, the Prices,
Whitfield Bourne and others
"The settlers on the north side of the river were very similar in character to
those who had settled on the south side; being, in fact, in some instances the
same persons, and in others recruits from Lovely County who had been compelled
to abandon that county upon its cession to the Indians."

Recorder of Deeds, Sedalia, MO
Dear Sir:
As attorneys in the above stated claim, we shall appreciate a search of your records to ascertain whether they show death of Mary A. Snodgrass, a former wife of the soldier on 7 Feb 1885 at Sedalia, MO. If on file, what will be the cost of a certified copy?
Respectfully
W. Elliott Waggaman & Co.
No record of death kept in this office and I do not think in 1885 there was a record of deaths kept here at all. At present there is what is known as The Registrar who keeps a record of births and deaths under the supervision of the State board of health, but I am of the opinion that same was started about 20 years ago.

Letter, 22 Oct 1919
The Commissioner of Pensions
Washington, D.C.
Sir:
Herewith are returned all papers in the above described case which was referred for special examination to determine the number of former marriages of soldier and dissolution of same, whether claimant has remarried since his death, and to determine if possible the organization in which her second husband Jones rendered service The claimant and her witnesses are of good repute and impressed me as being truthful.
The testimony herewith is deemed sufficient to show non-remarriage of
claimant. I also secured the testimony of soldier's sister Mary Bowen, who testified that he had but one prior marriage. She is the only living full sister. There is no living brother.
There is a younger half sister, Kate Trusty, wife of Charles Trusty, who runs a restaurant in Joplin, MO, and half brother Fred Snodgrass, p.o. probably Goodman, MO. The only one of soldier's children by the first wife whose address was definitely known is John T. (Tom) Snodgrass, p.o. Pawhuska, Okla. (2 years ago). Maggie, wife of the son William, (B.J.16) lives in Little Rock.
As to claimant's second husband Jones, she stated that she drew a pension as his widow, receiving but one payment of $330.55 the amount due her from date of filing claim to date of her remarriage to Mr. Snodgrass.
While she could furnish no data to identify Mr. Jones service, nor the number of her pension certificate, yet it would seem that her case can be easily identified by the alphabetical cards in the Record Div.
It is therefore recommended that a search be made on the card indexes for the claim of Nancy O. Jones, wid. Henry Clay Jones, Mov. Cav.(?)] Her p.o. then was Alma, Crawford Co., AR.
If further testimony is desired to show soldier's prior marital history the witnesses named in paragraph 5 may be seen, especially Maggie Snodgrass
(B.J.16), Little Rock, AR.

[pages 90-91]
Denver, CO, 19 Nov 1953
Dear Mr. Cole,
I was given your name by Mr. Thomas Howe Neal, Route 12, Box 372,
Knoxville 18, TN. He said he had been informed you were a descendant of the Snodgrass family and had collected much information about the Snodgrass Family. I too am a descendant of the Snodgrasses. I think Mr. Neal and I are likely both descendants of the same family in Virginia. But as yet I have no proof. In fact, I have only sketchy information about the earlier ancestors of mine and have no proof that they are the Snodgrasses of Washington Co., VA.
Our family had a Bible record dating back into the 1700's. It is not complete and does not give Brothers and Sisters. But I have traced some of them back into Franklin Co., AR, and in the 1850 census of that county, I discovered one of my ancestors was born in Kentucky. Mr. Neal informs me that some of the older Snodgrasses went from Virginia to Kentucky, and I see there is a great repetition of family given names in my Snodgrasses and the ones I have located thus far in Washington Co., VA.
I have been working on my family history since 1947. I am interested in all of my ancestors equally; thus I have a really great undertaking. I will type out a sketch of my line of ancestors. I hope you will have some information about them that you will be able to let me have. I include not only the ones I know are my family, but I am also including the Virginia group. I feel there is a possibility my William W. Snodgrass may be the son of the Virginia Joseph Snodgrass who is no. 2, but as yet I have not proof.
This group of Arkansas people is our family. It may not be complete. The Bible gave mostly the direct line of ancestors and did not include all of their children. From letters and things the older living Snodgrasses remember hearing about, we have pieced the information together to decide that the eight I list are ours. There may be others. W. L. Snodgrass and his wife Mary Elizabeth died in the home of their dau., Mrs. Mary Black, but we do not know where she lived for sure. There was also a list of McGehee children included in the Bible record. We have no explanation as yet about them, other than the list of their names.
I hope you can help me with this information. I have some information about the different ones I have placed on the charts. If you are interested in any of them, I will be glad to send a copy of what I have.
Yours Truly,
Mrs. Edna M. Branstine, 2000 South Dayton, Denver 20, CO.
[Please note: Mrs. Branstine added what she thought were brothers and sisters of her ancestor, James Wilson Snodgrass, but based on the Bible record of Isaac Snodgrass above, we must conclude she was in error.]

Denver 9, CO [undated]
Dear Mr. Cole,
I received your very nice letter and the blanks you wished filled out. I have intended to go to the library again before I answered you, but have not gotten around to it, so am not going to wait longer. I am a cripple, and this cold weather, ice, and snow prohibits my going out much. I have filled in the blanks to the best of my knowledge. Please excuse my errors. I have as my assistant my two-and-one-half-year-old dau., who proves to be far from a HELP. The information is correct.
I do not KNOW that the Virginia Snodgrasses ARE my people. But since I do not know, I can and should suspect them of being [my ancestors], since I believe my people did come from that general area. I have kept such information as I found about Snodgrasses in different areas since I might be able at some future date to connect them to mine. There are microfilm copies of marriages in Virginia in the Denver Public Library. Plus microfilm 1850 U.S. census records. The 1790 (book form) census is here also. I have been slowly working my way through the maze of information I find there. They have a number of excellent works on Virginia. The Tennessee information is totally lacking. There is pitifully little about Tennessee. The Kentucky records are somewhat better than TN, but not equal to VA.
I took up research of the various branches of my family history back in 1947 and have working as time allows until the present. About my family history work--
My mother, Anna May (Allgood) McCurry, d/o of Francis Margaret
(Snodgrass) Allgood, has been working with me. She accumulated information from the family and also from cemeteries and newspapers in that area of Missouri in which our people lived. I do the other part, such as writing you, searching the library, and writing various historical libraries for information I cannot find here. We both get a great deal of satisfaction out of our work and have collected an amazing amount. There is still much more we hope to get from the family. Then I hope I can connect our family information to the early records and perhaps trace my family to the time they arrived in America. I see they are all from the general area of the first Virginia settlement, by that I mean as I learn more about them, they work back in that direction. Many came through TN, NC, & KY. Only one, a Mr. Samuel Clark (mentioned in the Snodgrass record) is from the north. I have thus far not been able to do much with the North Carolina records, as there isn't too much organized material here, and NC will not give any assistance at all.
I have compiled and written my husband's family history already. His people came to America more recently. Except the well-known Clinton family. I have had trouble with that line of his and hope to write an additional section some day if the information becomes available. I did not publish his work, just had good typed copies made up and allow them to circulate.
As you see, the family history work with me is truly a great job. I
thoroughly enjoy it, and as time allows, I work on it. I hope you will be able to help me some with the Snodgrasses. I will try to check more Virginia records soon and will pass along any information I can find that I think might help you. You may have far more than I will. I have gotten stuck, so to speak, with the Snodgrasses in Arkansas, and I simply cannot find more. Mr. Dallas Herndon, Arkansas State Library, has had different things searched for me to no avail. Franklin Co. knows nothing of my people. Herndon did find James Wilson Snodgrass's service record, which my dau. seems to have removed from it's appointed place. I was fortunate enough to find my Snodgrasses in the census, but there my luck stops. I decided to turn my research to the older people in the hope that I will one day stumble upon the right track and bring them down to my people. This makes the work so much more complicated. I have a feeling my line will connect to the ones I have found. There is a repetition of names, for one thing, to indicate there might be a connection. But I have no actual proof.
You did not say what your fee is. I see you say you are not a
professional genealogist, but I still wonder if you have a fee. I can pay some for the information, but we are what you might call average people, and I can't actually hire an entire tree made up for me, much as I would like to do so. I have names of 43 of my ancestors. I am working on the entire family tree, you see, not just one name or line. Therefore it is a really big undertaking. I have some success at times and other times nothing seems to work out. The Denver Public Library is supposed to have a very good collection of material, and they are very helpful and the information is readily available. I want to work more in the Snodgrass records there, as there are a number of things I have not looked into as yet.
I see too that you are the Historian General for the National Society of the Sons of the American Revolution. Does your organization have a central library and reference department? Does it have research workers available to the public?
I will be looking forward to hearing from you again. Please ask any
question you wish to. I will answer all I can, and if I cannot help with answers then I can simply say so.
Yours truly,
Edna M. Branstine, 2000 South Dayton, Denver 20, CO
12 Nov 1956
Dear Mr. Cole,
I received your letter and regret that I have not had an opportunity to answer it before. Since you last heard from me, I have had a dau. who is now eight months old. She has added much to my work as was as to my joy, and I have therefore set my work on the family history aside temporarily. I am still very much interested in it, however, and am very hopeful I will one day be able to find the connecting link that will prove who my oldest known Wm. W. Snodgrass really was and where he was born.
Most respectfully,
Edna M. Branstine, 2000 South Dayton, Denver 22, CO.
P.S. I enclose all of the Snodgrass information I have to date. I made
carbon copies of some information I had once. I never thought I would send it to anyone, so I made notes on it. I hope you will excuse them. I am quite rushed, and since I have these copies, messy though they are, I think I will send them and hope you will find the information helpful. I have taken brief notes at random as I searched in the library. I doubted these people were mine, but wished to be safe so kept the notes for further research if I should desire to do so. Therefore I took information down but did not try to get all there was. I may be able to return to the library when my baby is a little older and do more work. If you wish, I will try to get the complete information of any item you find to be of interest.
I have given up tracing my line back step by step. I think if I am ever to find it, I will simply have to search state by state until I find this William W. Snodgrass, and hope that when I do finally find him there will be reference to his son, W. L. Snodgrass, so that I will know him when I do succeed in finding him. It is a wild shot into the dark, but that is all I have left to do.

Dear Madame,
Your claim under the Act of May 1, 1920, filed Sep. 20, 1928, is rejected
on the ground that the name, Elijah F. Snodgrass has not been found on the
rolls of any Tennessee Volunteer organization numerically designated, 1st
Regiment, during the period of the Civil War, and you are apparently unable to furnish any information whereby your husband's service, if any, can be identified by the records of the War department.
E. W. Morgan, Acting Commissioner

State where enlisted, Arkansas. If unable to furnish company and
regiment, give names of commanding officers. Gen. Johnenstans in the Battle
