Searching for descendants who went to Macoupin Co., IL and especially a John Snow born about 1775. Any help would be deeply appreciated. Vivian Burns

Hi, Here is what I have on Obediah SNOW of Macoupin County, Illinois Born 1809 in the Mitchell River area of the Pine Branch, east of Iron Works Road, Surry, NC 1823 after the death of his father William Thompson is appointed guardian of young Obed and his sister Jane 1830 Sangamon, Illinois Census page 139 there is a male of Obed's age living with Henry Snow. 19 June 1832, Obed SNOW of Macoupin County, Illinois is Private in Captain Bennet NOWLEN'S Company (formally Captain Powell SHARP) 4th Regiment 3rd Brigade, Illinois mounted Volunteers mustered 15 May 1832 Black Hawk War. Source, "The Black Hawk War 1831-1832" Volume 1 Illinois Volunteers by Ellen M Whitney, IL State Historical Library 1970. 2 Nov 1833 Obed marries Hannah Pitman in Macoupin, Illinois 05 November 1834, Bought Government Land in section 34 Nilwood, Illinois, Sulphur Springs cemetery is in section 25 19 November 1836, Bought Land from James Johnson, Macoupin, Illinois 1840, page 782 Census Marion County Illinois as Obadiah Snow Male 20-30 Obed is 31 NC Female 20-30 Hannah is 27 KY Male 5-10 Newton is 5 IL Male 0-5 Francis is 4 IL Male 0-5 Thomas is 2 IL Female 0-5 Hannah is 5 IL 30 August 1850, page 114 Census District 22 (to be Pitman 1876) Montgomery, Illinois, listed as O L Snow. I believe there was an Obediah Snow in IL about 1815 My GGGrandfather John SNOW b. abt 1784 came to Illinois from Lincoln County, Kentucky about the same time as Obediah Lyon SNOW I have never been able to connect them but I am sure they are related somehow. John's Father was Frostin SNOW of Virginia and Surry County, NC. He was one of three Frost & SNOWS that appear in the 1790 & 1800 Surry, NC census. Hope this helps, Timer
