> Is anyone on this list researching Solomon > Snell of Chester,Vt. ? He died in 1800. > Solomon Snell was married to Abigail Rice, had 5 sons and 5 daughters. I can't really help specifically with Solomon Snell, but his son Moses is a clue. My Ebenezer Blossom of Woodstock was the son of Sylvanus Blossom and Charity Snell. Charity had a brother named Moses, b. 1713. They were the children of Amos Snell (Thomas) and Mary Packard, daughter of Samuel Packard Jr. Amos was the son of Thomas Snell, born England, and Martha Harris, dau. of Arthur. Thomas settled in West Bridgewater, MA ca. 1665, and was the largest landholder in the area. Source: History of Early Settlement of Bridgewater, by Nahum Mitchell, 1840; reprint 1897 by Henry T. Pratt. The book is posted on line, at least the biographical sketches are. Hope this helps, and it is great to hear someone else shares a research area. Helen Benter
