I take it Snead was her married name? Do you know if there is a link to any of the following people listed in a letter from Kathy Eaton: Allene, Yes, I know about the Snead family, my gggrandfather was Oglesbey B. Snead, married Caroline Gann in 1830. Oglesbey was born abt 1798 in Virginia. Caroline was born 1808 in Washington County, Tennessee. she died in 1851 in Buchanan County, MO.

[I haven't find them in any county yet] Charles Ely McGlothlin and wife moved to Hillside, Colo. around 1885. On the June 4, 1880 census in Buchanan County, Jackson Twp., MO. was: Oglesbey B. Snead age 88 farmer; Harriett wife age 68; Sebern age 28 son. Oglesbey Snead was on the Buchanan County Taxpayers records in the years 1887-1889-1890 all in Jackson Twp., P.O. Platte River. Family tree for Snead's Oglesbey B.

I also find a Susan Snead married Patrick Elsey on 2/5/1857 in Dekalb Co., MO. and Harriet Snead married Hardin J. Noland on 4/18/1849 in DeKalb Co., MO. (I can't connect Harriet with my Snead's yet, but I'm sure she's connected) Are any of these names in your Snead family. I would like what you have on your Snead's. the fact that they was living in Doniphan County. That my be the reason why my ggrandmother was over their when she married John R. Williams. hope this helps Kathy Eaton katy@positech.net in MO.
