Dear Kirk: Thanks so much for the information. Do you feel comfortable in stating that my Nancy Snow (b. 1810-11 NC or TN) was the daughter of John Snow b. c1774? In other words, does her age fit in? Nancy Snow married in Roane Co., TN 21 Oct 1829 Michael K. Selvidge/Selvage, son of Jeremiah Selvidge & wife Mary (Taylor?) Kelly Selvidge (stepdau. of Granbury or Greenbury Kelly) In the 1830 Roane census, they lived near Richard Snow. Also, Michael Selvidge was bondsman for John Renfro (18 Dec 1829 Roane Co.) in marriage to POLLY SNOW. I see you don't show a POLLY in the list of children and I wonder if you might know whether Eliz., Sarah, or Frances might have been named Mary or Polly, or who those other daughters married. I would suspect that Polly Snow Renfro must be some close kin to my Nancy Snow Selvidge/Selvage. Also, I saw on the Internet where Frost And Snow Sr.'s son is listed as JOHNSON, and I wonder if that person simply made a mistake or was he really named for his mother's maiden name and also called John? In other words, are John and Johnson the same person? In looking at different things on the Internet, I've put together this lineage. I would very much appreciate it if you could tell me where I'm in error or whether some of the maternal lines might be extended (Johnson, Davis, Jackson, etc.), or any websites you might refer me to.

Selvidge bondsman)? NOTE: I understand that Johnson Snow, Frost Snow, Larkin Snow, and Dick Snow and perhaps others mentioned in some of the stories the book "FISHER'S RIVER (N.C.) SCENES AND CHARACTERS" by Harden E. Taliaferro (N.Y.: Arno Press, 1977). I don't yet have this book. >From 1987-89 I heard from a Mr. Robert W. Brown, 355 Spaulding Circle, Athens, GA 30605, who gave me the following information: ADRIA SNOW m. June 4, 1791 Surry Co., N.C. to Benjamin Taliaferro, son of Dr. John Taliaferro who moved from Pittsylvania Co, VA to Surry Co, NC 1779 and to GA 1791. Their daughter Sarah (Sally) Taliaferro 1794-1837 m. John Brown 1788-1863, and a Brown family heirloom was passed down to their granddaughter, Pamela Adria Brown Moore: it was a man's gold ring given to one of their ancestors (Taliaferro? Brown? Snow?) by LAFAYETTE, and inscribed was the date 1412, and the family in the 1980s had forgotten what the date 1412 signified to Gen. LaFayette or France. Mrs. Moore gave the ring to her brother's son, another Mr. Brown, who was the grandfather of Robert W. Brown of Athens, GA. I may have a few more specific dates (not many) which Mr. Brown wrote me years ago. Nancy Snow Selvidge's daughter Mary Ann Celeste Selvidge m. John W. Walls, called one of the founders of Huntsville, AL, Madison Co.; their daughter Susan Frances Mildred Caroline Celestia Berilla "Pink" Walls m. Andrew Jackson Whitaker (s/o Capt. Simon Whitaker & Caledonia Tate) Their daughter Annetta Katherine ("Nettie") Whitaker m. Wesley McKneely Isbell Sr. W.M. Isbell Jr. m. Mrs. Doris (Thomas) Sanford, parents of Rex Turner Sanford, Thomas W. Isbell, Roy & Ray Isbell (twins), Robin Isbell Maness, and Robert Whitaker Isbell. Thanks again for all your help.
