Hello, This might sound a little strange but..I've been working on connecting my family SNOWDEN to these Snowden's in FL. My grandfather according to census records was born in FL. But I do not have any information on his father or mother. I have tried to connect going backwards from James Snowden who is in Alachua Co. FL by 1830 and who was killed by Indians 9 Apr 1838. He Married Francis Townsend 4 Nov 1824 in Wayne Co., GA. They had eight children: 1. Henry b. 12 Sept 1825 married Charity Adams they had at least 5 children according to Alachua Co., FL 1850 Fed Census: James M., Mary M., Abner, Susan, and Sinai 2. Sarah 'Sally' b. 12 Oct 1827 d. abt 1846-8 married Roman Alvarez they had one child Mary Elizabeth before Sarah died 3. Jane b. 31 Jan 1829 married John Dyess/Dyas? 7 Dec 1848 in Alachua Co. (believe him to also be known as Christopher Dyess) 4. Abraham died as infant 5. Mary 'Polly' b. 8 May 1831 married John A. Jackson McKinney they had four children: Charles M., John, Susan, and Henry 6. James b. 22 Oct 1833 Married Celia Stokes b. 1829 in GA they had at least four children: Georgiann, Frances, James, and Henry 7. Frances died as an infant 8. Edward b. 19 Dec 1837 married Anne Dorinda Benton they had at least five children: Lucy, Jane, James, Edward, and Henry Florence. Well, if you could supply any information it would be nice. I've been trying to connect the first James I've listed here to Walter Aaron Snowden who fought in the Rev. War. He did have a son named James by one of his wives. Well, enough for now.
