Also at a standstill. It is believed my great-grandfather was Robert Sneed.
He had
five children who split up and went to Kentucky, Illinois, and Missouri. It
is believed he
came from South Carolina but at what point it is unclear. Can find no
record of his death or where he resided at the time of death. The Kentucky
records are very few and far between. Maybe we can help each other? Thank
you. Sally

Another Sneed descendant has brought to my attention
an egregious error on my part. I take full
responsibility and should not rely so much on my
memory, which grows more faulty with age.
Robert Sharp Sneed was NOT a son of William and
Elizabeth Sneed. He was a son of Zachariah and Martha
(Nance) Sneed. I will post information regarding
Robert Sharp Sneed in the near future.

Elizabeth Sneed, quoted in my last posting, should
read:

I hope you all might be able to convey the correct
information to the proper people, online groups, etc.
Bill has a transcript of a family record which states
the following:
William Sneed son of John & Susannah Sneed

I wish to provide accurate information regarding
Robert Sharp Sneed (b. Jan. 23, 1760) and his parents,
Zachariah and Martha (Nance) Sneed.
The following entry was found in an old Bible which
originally belonged to Robert Sharp Sneed (b. Jan. 23,
1760) and which was in the possession of a descendant
when it was copied in 1941.
"Zachariah Sneed son of John & Susannah Sneed
of Hanover County married Martha daughter of
John Nance by whom he had eight children:
Robert Sharp, James, Elizabeth, William,

I am most interested in your SNEED history. I am at a total standstill on
the SNEED's in Graniteville SC in the 1850's. My ancesters were William
Sneed married to Nancy _______ they had a daughter named Gracie and a son
named William Robert who married Sallie Ann Cullum of landed gentry. Her
father was Barzilla Cullum of Edgefield County SC. I can not seem to get
past William. He was born I believe in 1812. Do you have anything showing
any SNEED's going into SC? William and Nancy are buried in t
