Posted on http://www.rootsweb.com/~txfannin/s112.html (Fannin Co. TX page) From the book "Biographical Souvenir of the State of Texas," 1889, pp. 780-781: D. W. Snow, M.D., is one of Rockwall's oldest practitioners, having been on active professional duty for more than thirty years. His father, Levi R. Snow, came of English parentage. He was born and reared in Surrey County, North Carolina, and served in the War of 1812, and in the Seminole War of 1835-1836; then moved into Middle Tennessee at an early day, and was on the present site of Nashville when that was only a "landing place" on the river. He traversed a great portion of Williamson, Rutherford, and Davidson counties when they were an uninhabited wilderness. He finally located in Weakley county, and lived there until some time in the sixties, when he moved to Texas, locating in Kaufman county, where he lived in 1868, being then in his seventy-seventh year. He was a farmer all his life, and had been reasonably successful. His wife, Abigail Bodine, was of French extraction, his ancestors settling on the French Broad River in East Tennessee at an early day. She was born there and died in Weakley county, Tennessee, in 1864, the mother of the following children -- Sallie, Caroline, Joseph B., Henry J., Martha A., Daniel Webb, William F., and Lycurgus. Daniel Webb Snow was born in Middle Tennessee May 19, 1831, and was three years old when his parents settled in Weakley county, where he was reared. He came to Texas in 1856 and settled in Kaufman county, read medicine and entered the practice, continuing at it successfully and actively for more than thirty years. He was married in May, 1861, to Louisa Penry, of North Carolina. She died some years after, and he married in May, 1867, Miss Selina Snow Burton, of Mississippi. Dan Page dpage@ipa.net
