<Looking for information about Snyder Kennedy who moved to Carrollton, TX from Pike Co., IL.> There is a marker in Carrollton where the cemetery used to exist for the Snyder Kennedy family. I visited it at one time since I am researching the family of James M. Kennedy who is buried at Webb Chapel Cemetery. I do not believe there is a connection between the two families. At the moment I cannot remember the street name where this marker is located. According to "Elm Fork Settlement: Farmers Branch and Carrollton" by Georgia Myers Ogle: "Three family cemeteries that were used many years, then maintained by descendants for a long time, but eventually succumbed undisturbed to an ever-expanding community were those of the Elisha Fyke family, the Lillard family, and the Snyder Kennedy family; though in the latter case, Mr. Kennedy's own gravestone was moved to Perry Cemetery." (Chapter 3, pg 44) "In the County Directory compiled by C. B. Gillespie and Alpha K. Work for 1881-82 and quoted by Cochran, 99 a complete picture is given for that time. Trinity Millis is located sixteen miles northwest of Dallas on the Dallas-Wichita Railroad. The remaining information is as follows: [snipped] Farmers: [snipped] Snyder Kennedy..." (Chapter 4, pg 127 If any of this family was still in the area after 1900, you might also be able to find information in the microfilms of the old Carrollton Chronicle Newspaper which are archived at the Frankford Village Branch of the Carrollton Public Library at the corner of Frankford and Josey Lane in Carrollton. They have films from 1904 till the newspaper ceased to exist. The Peters Colony Historical Society of Dallas County, Texas will be meeting at this library this evening, January 13, 2002 at 7p.m. Our speaker will be Curtis Flatt. His topic will be "The Hanging of 7 in 1869". He will also discuss some Peters Colony men/families and where they are buried and will answer questions about the 121 cemeteries in Dallas County that he has personally visited. Our meetings are open to the public and we invite you to visit. Jan Jones Webb Chapel Cemetery Association Peters Colony Historical Society
