    1. [SNOW-L] Snow Family Virginia, NC and Tennessee UPDATE
    2. Rancher
    3. Thanks to all who wrote regarding the article I put up on the list with the subject line "Snow Family of Virginia, NC and Tennessee". As identified at the end of the article I did not do the research I only typed it for electronic distribution. I know there has been further research done on this family but I do not have access to all the information. I wrote to Mr. Robertson to get his view on the subject since he has done research on that family identified through out the Snow Family of Virginia, NC and Tennessee article. So you see even though the information was published in 1998 or 1999 it did not have the correct information. This was due to further research done and unknown to the author of the article or the article was written finally from old notes with no new research. I hope we all can continue to research and share what we can to hopefully get our lines straight. Thanks, Jeanne Here is the helpful information Mr. Robertson has passed on: "There is so much old, outdated information in what you posted that I really don't know where to begin. This information was obviously gathered from a bunch of old sources for which there is absolutely no documentation that I have found. It's the same information that I started with seven years ago and I have since corrected , proved or disproved much of it, with the help of some other serious Snow researchers. I don't know that John Snow of Roane Co. was Frost Snow Sr.'s son, but it is beginning to look likely. Frost Snow Sr. married Elizabeth Johnson. Frost Jr. married Elizabeth Ballard. The Fortner/Forkner name enters the family through a daughter in law of Frost Sr. John Snow of Albemarle Co. was not "Trooper John". Trooper John Snow was the son of Henry of Campbell/Bedford Co. VA. There is no proof that Henry Snow and John Snow were brothers or even related for that matter, although it is certainly possible. Thomas Snow who died in 1781 was definitely the son of Henry Snow, NOT a brother. The Thomas Snow in Orange Co. VA. d. 1804 was possibly a son or brother of John Snow d. 1784. Hope this clears some of this up. Oh, by the way. The list of children that you have for Frost Sr. is almost completely wrong. There was probably no son named Richard that married a Hale, Fielding Snow was definitely a son of Thomas of Orange Co., VA. and Obediah's parents are unknown. Were they all related? Probably, but the relationship is yet to be found. "
