Here is the second part of the information I have on John Snow of Orange/Albemarle Counties, VA. Kirk Sheap in VA 1742 (14 March [Old Style therefore 1743 today]): Louisa County, Virginia John Snow is one of the petitioners for a road to run from "Coursey's Road to Rocky Creek". He was appointed overseer of that portion of the road that ran below Buck Mountain Creek. The overseer for the portion above the creek is Henry Bunch. 1744 (12 November) : Louisa County, Virginia John Snow is to be summoned to Court for not keeping the road in good repair. 1744 (22 January [Old Style]): Louisa County, Virginia John Snow is discharged from being surveyor of the highways from Henry Bunch's road at Buck Mountain Creek to Coursey's Road. He is replaced by Andrew Rae. The presentment to the grand jury for failure to keep the road in good repair was dismissed. (Albemarle County, Virginia was formed on 16 October, 1744 but the northern portion of the present County remained part of Louisa County until 1761.) 1755: Louisa County/Albemarle County, Virginia John Snow receives a grant of 400 acres "on the branches of Buck Mountain Creek" which is land on which he was most likely already residing. 1756: Louisa/Albemarle County, Virginia John Snow receives two grants of land. One is for 200 acres "near the Great Mountains" and the other is for 119 acres "on Buck Mountain". Buck Mountain is located to the west of present day Earlysville. 1757 (21 April) : Louisa/Albemarle County, Virginia John Snow "of the County of Louisa and Parish of Fredericksville" sells 200 acres of land to Benjamin Brown of the same County and Parish. 1758 (14 March) : Louisa/Albemarle County, Virginia John Snow and his wife, Sarah, sell 200 acres of land to John Goodall of Orange County. This land is part of a tract of 400 acres on which is found "Snow's Race Ground". 1758 (September) : Bedford County, Virginia John Snow is listed as a member of the Bedford County Militia and it may be from this that the name "Trooper" is given him. Bedford County was the county adjacent to the south of Albemarle at that time and, on 27 August, 1767, the Will of John Pate of that county was witnessed by Frost Snow. (Was this the same John Snow of Louisa/Albemarle Co. or possibly a son of Henry Snow of Bedford County? As for Frost Snow, the Court Order Books of Bedford County [#3, part 1, p. 479-481] have testimony given by Frost Snow, aged about 24 years, on December, 10, 1768 in the trial of James Bigger for the theft of a horse. This may well be the �third� Frost and Snow of Surry, Co., NC) 1764 (9 March) : Albemarle County, Virginia By order of the Vestry of Fredericksville Parish, the land of John Snow is processioned. Present for John were his sons Frost and Ice. Those whose lands were also processioned or were due to be processioned but were not because of no one being present to show the lines were Capt. David Mills, Giles Rogers, James Keaton, William Dolton, William Thompson, David Fraizer, James Ennis, Thomas Jermon, Richard Vernon, Gabriel Maupin, William Hargis, John Holdbrook, John Goodall, John Martin, Samuel Garlick and Samuel Dolton. 1767 (25 November) : Albemarle County, Virginia The Vestry of Fredericksville Parish appoints William Tompson and Giles Rogers as processioners for the lands between Buck Mountain Creek and the Old Cove Road to the Ragged Mountains. The lands they later processioned or attempted to but could not because no one was present to show them the boundary lines were those of John Dickerson, Giles Rogers, George Rogers, James Ennis, Samuel Garlick, Lucy Mills, William Thomson, John Holbrook, John Goodall, James Keaton, John Martin, John Snow, Richard Vernon, and Rice Curtrie. 1769 (9 February) : Albemarle County, Virginia John Snow is listed in the Vestry Records among the insolvent in regards to his tithe due the Fredericksville Parish. Note is made that he is "twice listed". 1783 (11 February) : Albemarle County, Virginia John and Sarah Snow sell to Robert Keen of Albemarle County 200 acres of land. This is witnessed by Frost & Snow, Richard Snow, and Frost & Snow. 1784 (July) : Albemarle County, Virginia The Will of John Snow, dated 1769, is probated. In it, he leaves his estate to his wife, Sarah, and, at her death, to his son, Richard. This will was witnessed, in 1769, by Achilles Rogers, Giles Rogers and William Cave. Besides what is mentioned above, the Records of the Vestry of Fredericksville Parish (Albemarle County) contain many mentions of John Snow along with his other sons Frost, Ice (who died in 1779 in Albemarle County) and John (who is termed an "idiot"). There is no mention that I can find in these Vestry Records of Richard. There is, however, a mention, on 25 November, 1767, of a refund of an overpayment of a levy being made to "John Davis Snow's son". This may not be our John Snow since he is also mentioned in the same minutes.
