Posted on: Orange Co. Va Queries Reply Here: http://cgi.rootsweb.com/~genbbs/genbbs.cgi/USA/Va/Orange/10581 Surname: Snell, Mansfield, Robertson ------------------------- This is a real shot in the dark!!! My ancestor R. S. Snell may be the child of Joseph and Elizabeth Clark Mansfield Snell. Joseph Snell born about 1784 in Orange Co. VA Elizabeth Clark Mansfield born 12 Oct. 1788 Albemarle. Co. VA. Elizabeth Mansfield's parents were Robert and Mourning Clark Mansfield. Joseph and Elizabeth Snell married 24 Nov. 1806 in Orange County VA My ancestor R. S. (given name Rosseau) was born Feb.7, 1810 in VA. On ancestry.com I found a Rawser Spicer Snell listed as their child. I suspect that Rawser was misspelled or pronounced by the person who gave the information, subsequently this could in fact be Rosseau. We know this was his name from his marriage record to Louisa M. Robertson in 1833 in Nashville, TN. R. S. Snell, died May 12, 1867 in La Grange, Fayette Co. TX. Louisa Robertson Snell, born Aug. 27, 1811 in Nashville,died May 29, 1848 in Nashville, 3 months after the birth of their daughter Laura M. Snell. Laura Snell married Hugh McNary Cadwell Dec. 08, 1866 in La Grange, Fayette Co., TX. Laura and Hugh Cadwell were my gg grandparents. R. S. and Louisa Snell were my 3g grandparents.
