Snodgrass) was born in Doylestown, PA; graduated at the University of PA in Philadelphia, and studied divinity under Rev. Dr. Sproat, pastor of the Second Presbyterian Church, Philadelphia. He settled in West Hanover, Dauphin Co., PA, in 1784, where he remained pastor of the church until his death, which occurred in 1846. His wife, Martha Davis, of Philadelphia (the mother of Rev. W. D. Snodgrass), was a successful helpmeet of her husband in matters pertaining to his pastoral work. She had six children who survived the period of infancy. One of the daughters became the wife of a clergyman, and another became the mother of three ministers, of whom was the Rev. Asbel Green Simonton, who went as missionary to Brazil, was the founder of the first Presbyterian Church in Rio [de] Janeiro, and died in early life, greatly lamented by the church generally. The subject of this sketch [William D. Snodgrass] was the youngest but one of the six children, and was born on 30 Jun 1796. His parents bestowed upon him much care and solicitude in regard to his mental training, and as a result he resolved to devote himself to the service of Christ in the work of the gospel ministry. With this view, he remained in his father's family, attending a select school in the neighborhood, where the usual branches of an English education were taught. At the age of 14, he began th study of Greek and latin, under the tuition of the Rev. James Sharon, pastor of the Presbyterian Church in Derry, Dauphin Co., PA. In the fall of 1812 he entered the sophomore class in Washington College, PA, graduated in 1815, receiving the first honors of his class; studied Hebrew under the tuition of Rev. James R. Wilson, then of Philadelphia; entered the theological seminary at Princeton in the summer of 1816, passing through the entire course of study, and in the fall of 1818 appeared before the Presbytery of Carlisle, and entered on the usual trials for licensure to preach the gospel. After leaving the seminary he filled an appointment from the Young Men's Missionary Society of New York for the period of Six months, in the section of country lying south of the James River, and between Norfolk and Petersburg, VA. At the request of Dr. Alexander, visited the Presbyterian Church of Fayetteville, NC, afterwards receiving a call to be its pastor; was ordained to the work of the gospel ministry; installed pastor by the Presbytery of Fayetteville 30 Jul 1819. During the winter of 1822 received a call to the Independent Presbyterian Church of Savannah, GA (Rev. Dr. Kollock's, deceased). Filled this pulpit until the summer of 1823, when he received a call from the Session of the Murray Street Church, New York (Rev. Dr. Mason). Arrived in New York Aug 1823 and was installed pastor by the Presbytery of New York the same year. Married, 9 Dec 1823 to Miss Charlotte H. Moderwell, of Lancaster, PA, a niece of William Kirkpatrick, of the same place, who was an elder of the Presbyterian Church, who had superintended her education in the seminary under the care of Mr. Judson, in Philadelphia, and who was an active and liberal friend to all Christian institutions and interests. The above pastorate continued for about 10 years, during which time (in the year 1826) the degree of Doctor of Divinity was conferred upon him by Columbia College. After leaving the Murray Street Church, he was elected and served as assistant secretary of the Board of Domestic Missions for the period of about 2 years, the field of labor being in the States of New York and New Jersey; after which was called to the pastorate of the lSecond Street Presbyterian Church, in Troy, and installed as its pastor 3 Oct 1834, for the period of about 10 years. In the spring of 1844 called to found the new church built by Mr. James Lennox, in 15th St. between Irving Place and Third Ave.; installed its pastor 15 Mar 1845, laboring in building up this (then) waste place for 5 years, besides serving as a member of the Executive Committee of the Board of Foreign Missions. Received a call in the summer of 1849 to the Presbyterian Church in Goshen, NY, made vacant by the resignation of the Rev. Roberet McCartee, D.D.; pastoral relation with the church in New York dissolved by Presbytery 8 Oct 1849; installed by the Presbytery of Hudson on 7 Nov 1849, preaching his inauguration sermon on the ensuing Sabbath. From the date of the beginning of this pastorate up to the present time has faithfully fulfilled all of its requirements, passing through scenes of the Spirit's quickening power, dedicating a new church, celebrating his golden wedding, witnessing the leveling and raising of the church steeple, and at a green old age of 85 fulfilling acceptably with an assistant all the duties and requirements of a full pastorate, and patiently witing for that last summons to "go up higher." His grandfather, James Snodgrass, whose parents came from the north of Ireland about 1700, settled in Doylestown, Bucks Co., PA. There his father , James Snodgrass, was born in 1761. - - - - - - - - - - page 550: 1879 centennial anniversary of the Minisink battle: Rev. W. D.
