I may be able to help you I have been researching the Snodderly's and have the family history on my web page. http://members.aol.com/cliftoncuz/index.htm Go to "Family Album" Snodderlly I checked my data base and found a George born 1823 Campbell Co but no marriage or children. I have not tried to follow the branches of all the brothers. This George is the son of George and Tabatha Rice. George is the brother of Henry and this is my husband's line. I have found that the Snodderly's that lived in Union, Campbell, Anderson, etc., are all related. Let me know this is your George I will be happy to add your family history to my web page. Good luck Barbara Guinn

I am looking on information on the family of Bratcher Snodderly. His full name may have been Joseph Bratcher. He was born about 1858 and married Malinda (maiden name unknown) about 1874. He had a son Henry Snodderly born about 1877. Bratcher's parents may have been George Snodderly who was born about 1828 and Milly (maiden name unknown) who was born about 1828 also. George and Milly had a son Bailey Snodderly who was born about 1850. Any information on the family of Bratcher/Malinda or George/Milly would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Ron

I am searching for information on the following two brothers: James Franklin NORTON, born October 05, 1866 and Rufus M. NORTON, born December 20, 1868. Both are sons of Hiram NORTON and Thursey Strader. Would really like to know the names of their spouses and children. I have the 1870 UC Census but it only lists Luis and Margaret Cox NORTON's family. Lewis or Luis was a brother to Hiram. Thanks so much. Nina

Chip, I thought the following would be of some help to the list... do as you will... recieved this from an Obit list. sandy Forwarded From Another List: M. Dean Hunt Louisville, KY Good Morning everyone: I played hooky from work yesterday and spent the day at the NARA Branch in Atlanta and it jogged my memory to pass on some information to everyone. Prior to the US's entry into WW1 (approx. 1917-1918) every male between the age of 18 and 40 was required to register for the draft. The information found on the card was provided by the individual himself. The registration cards vary in information depending on the individual draft board. But by and large the cards include: The full name of the person (this means first, full middle name, any additional middle names and last name); the current address of the man; his age; his birthdate (some include his place of birth); whether he is a US citizen or a naturalized citizen (some ask if his father was a naturalized citizen and his father's race); his race; his occupation; where he is employed (name of employer); address or location of employment; name and address of his next of kin; some cards ask if the man is married or single and how many people he supports. The card is signed by the draftee. On the back of the card his physical description is noted: Height is broken down by short, medium, tall although some cards give the actual height in feet and inches; Build by slim, medium, stout although some cards list actual weight along with the build; color of eyes and hair; any deformities or injuries are listed (such as one arm missing, blind in one eye, etc); the name and address of the draft board and the date. When these original cards were transferred to the East Pointe NARA branch the LDS spent about 3 years microfilming these cards. There are hundreds and hundreds of boxes and the LDS opened one box at a time and filmed them - in state order. However, within each state the cards were filed by draft board, not by county or by draftee. This makes the searching of the microfilm difficult to say the least. The good news is that the Friends of the National Archives took each box after it was filmed (and checked) and sorted all of these thousands and thousands of cards into - state and then COUNTY order and then in alphabetical order by surname and put then in new boxes. The Friends deserveall the kudos we can give them for this monstrous task. So ... rather than spending hours and hours searching the LDS microfilm you can order copies of the original cards from NARA. if you know the county your ancestor lived in between 1917-1918. And BTW - Ancestry.com lists WW1 Draft cards in their searchable data bases, however I know for a fact that there are 22 cards for the surname WHITE found in McIntosh Co, OK and Ancestry only gave me 4 of them so don't depend on that site. I was told yesterday that some reps from Ancestry had visited the archives a couple of weeks ago to talk about filming the cards, took one look at the hundreds and hundreds of boxes and simply left. For copies: Send a letter requesting copy(s) to: NARA Southeast Region 1557 St. Joseph Ave East Point, GA 30344 In your letter be sure to say you want copy(s) of the WWI Draft application Cards. Include the name of your ancestor and his race, the state and the county. If you want copies of ALL of the cards with a given surname, ask them the cost of the copies and send a SASE for them to let you know the copying cost. In your letter be sure and say you want a copy of the FRONT and BACK of the card. Be sure to send a SASE for the return of you copies. The cost for the copy is 50 cents - 25 cents for the back and 25 cents for the front. If you only want one copy send a buck and say the difference is to be given to the Friends of the Archives, because after all they did all this wonderful hard work for you <VBG> If you have any other questions about the cards please write to me and I'll try to help. I've been "delving" into these cards for the past few years. But PLEASE don't ask me to get the copies for you. It is difficult for me to take the time off from work to visit the archive to do my own research <g>. And feel free to pass this on to any of the lists you are on.

A couple of week's ago I asked for prayers for Florence who is one of the dedicated Union County followers. Just received this from her, so wanted to share with everyone. Your prayers really worked. Thank you all so very, very much. Nina MORTON T. Ninja, Since I know you posted about my surgery, and I don't really know which Gen Web site's you covered. I need to let everyone know that I am doing great. Only one breast was removed as I bleed to much. I didn't want to have transfusion, so now I am busy building back my blood, so the DR's can finish this job. I can't even begin to tell my friends and family how well I am doing. How much their prayers meant to me. I was in total shock from all the e-mail, flowers and cards. I don't even know who most of the flowers came from. Just first names were signed. A special thanks to everyone for everything excluding the basket of balloons with Osito in it. Now I do wonder who knows I collect Beanie babies. With everyone behind me, I can now say I am cancer FREE.

Hi Alice and Kay: Well, you have a very good question about Ambrose Sharp! Who are his parents? Will do more searching on him but I have unable to find his parents, too. Have no idea about this Andrew Jesse Sharp and family that was discussed. Do you show his parents? Elizabeth Shoffner and Ambrose mar 16 Dec 1847 in Union or Claiborne Counties. Due to county boundary changes in 1850 - could be either one! Elizabeth died 04 Jul 1890; location unk. Elizabeth d/o Jesse Lay and Dorcas Shoffner. All of Dorcas children used her surname. Reason for this is unknown. Isaac Calvin b. 17 Jul 1853 in Claiborne or Union County. Only child in my data base. Now onto K/Catherine Sharp. Yes, you were correct. She was d/o John Nicholas Sharp and Malinda Ausmus. Malinda b. 04 Oct 1818 in Claiborne d. abt 1870. She was d/o Henry Ausmus and Malinda Price. John N. b. 16 jan 1817 at Sharps Station, Union (was Claiborne) Co. d. abt 1870. Nicholas (as he went by) was s/o Agnes Kirk and George Sharp. What do you mean by Union County as well as Monroe? FYI, Mary Sharp b. 1820 in Sharps Station; who married to Nathaniel Cain; my ggg grandparents. Mary d/o Agnes Kirk and George Sharp. Hope that this little tidbit helps! Dan R.
