| + | " Andrew was born circa 1755, was still a minor when his elder brother | ||
| + | died and left his estate to Andrew. Born Circa 1755, was still a minor | ||
| + | when his elder brother John SNODDY made his will in February 1775. | ||
| + | Obviously, he was born no later than 1759, since his father died in 1758. | ||
| + | There are records of payments to him for services in the North Carolina | ||
| + | military forces during the Revolutionary War. In April 1781, he became | ||
| + | the Adjutant of the First regiment of South Carolina State Troops under | ||
| + | the command of Lt. Colonel Wade Hampton. | ||
| + | He survived that War and returned to North Carolina, where in January | ||
| + | 1786 he signed a security bond in Rowan County for the marriage of his | ||
| + | half-sister, Elizabeth NEILL. Then he shifted west, stopping first in the | ||
| + | Nashborough settlements, then continuing into Louisiana where the 1810 | ||
| + | Federal Census counted him in Rapides Parish on the Red River. In 1819, | ||
| + | his half-brother, James "NAIL" (NEIL) swore in Butler County, Kentucky, | ||
| + | Court that "Andrew SNODDY died near Natchitoches Pecan Point." Pecan | ||
| + | Point was one of the principal early settlements on the Red River in | ||
| + | Arkansas territory north of Louisiana." John's S. book | ||
| + | Andrew SNODDY appears to have followed his Uncle William SNODDY to | ||
| + | Sumner County, Tennessee, after he left Rowan County, N.C. as on the | ||
| + | Court Records for Saturday Ocotber, 6th, 1798. Andrew is listed as a | ||
| + | Plaintiff against one James Carson for debt owed. Andrew was awarded | ||
| + | judgemnet of $26 bye default. | ||
| + | He made one other stop in western Tennssee and was listed a founding | ||
| + | settler of the county before shifing his movement southwest. | ||
| + | Andrew maybe the father of Isabel SNODDY there in Smner Couty, who first | ||
| + | married HOUNDSHELL* | ||
