Kirk, I appreciate all the information and corrections, and I hope someone corrects the information that is online about the lineage from Justinian Snow, etc. I'm still curious to know whether Johnson and John Snow were the same person, and I also wonder if your correspondent in California is online. I would like to contact such a researcher who has studied the Roane Co., TN Snows and knows so much about them. I know how busy you are, so I appreciate your taking the time to write me, let alone look up all that information. Thanks, Ray >From: BRYD57F@prodigy.com (DR CHRISTOPHER N SHEAP) >To: isbell2@hotmail.com >Subject: Re: Nancy Snow's lineage >Date: Sat, 22 May 1999 08:32:33, -0500 > >Good Morning Ray: Again, my apologies for the delay in responding to >your note of the 18th.

A sister of Justinian, Abell and Marmaduke >(Susanna) married Dr. Thomas Gerrard who was very prominent in the >early history of MD and later settled in Westmoreland County, VA. I >have never seen his name connected to any other Snows Thanks again >for your information. I will keep my "eyes open" for further >information on the Snows of Roane County. One other thing I did note >in your information. John Snow of Albemarle County was called by >some "Trooper" because of supposed service in the Militia in Bedford >County during the French and Indian War. Unfortunately, this militia >member was another John Snow, one of the sons of Henry Snow of >Bedford/Campbell County, VA. The Rev. War veteran was John Snow, son >of Thomas Snow of Orange County, VA. Thomas and John (of Albemarle >County) may have been brothers or Thomas may have been a son of >John's. Their homes were only about 4-5 miles apart. The Rev. War >veteran died 29 February, 1840. The John Snow of Albemarle County >(Buck Mountain area) was my greatx6 grandfather.
