Hello Snow cousins, The Shiflet Genealogy Website has recently been blessed with a diary written by Thomas Ephiram Shifflet in 1916. Thomas E. was the son of Thomas and Elizabeth Lamb Shifflet, both born in VA. Thomas and Elizabeth left Albemarle Co., VA for Madison Co., KY, where Thomas was born in 1840. By 1916, the Thomas E. family had left KY and was in IL. In one of the early entries, Thomas E. refers to "grandpa and grandma Snow". "Grandpa and Grandma Snow" are buried in the McLean Co. Cemetery, in McLean, IL. >From cemetery information, the researcher was able to indentify this Snow couple: John L. Snow b. 2/14/1835 d. 2/1/1920 (and his wife) Elizabeth Swearingen b. 10/20/1837 d. 9/9/1920. Their daughter, Amanda Louise (Tiny) Snow b. 9/20/1878 d. 1947, m. Levi (Ship) Shifflet, son of Thomas E. >From the dates, it is likely that John L. Snow's parents were the ones who migrated out of VA, possibly with Thomas E.'s parents. The Snows and Shiflets are documented as associating with each other in VA. Does anyone have John L. Snow's parents or have they connected this John L. Snow to the VA Snows?
