Snodgrass.--This name is borne by a prominent citizen of Pikeville, Bledsoe county, who has spent his entire life in the eastern part of Tennessee. Mr. Snodgrass is an attorney-at-law by profession, and has held a number of important offices in the county. He has become well known as a gentleman well versed in law, mentally gifted and courteous, and has been a potent factor in the political and legal life and welfare of Bledsoe and surrounding counties. He was born August 5, 1857, a son of Dr. Thomas and Eliza (Evans) Snodgrass. [vss - Thomas Snodgrass m. 8 Jul 1847, White Co TN, Eliza Jane Evans] Doctor Snodgrass represented White county in the legislature before the war. His sympathies were for the Union during the years of dispute as to the justice of slavery, and it caused him no discomfort to see his own slaves liberated. He had a brother who was a captain in the Confederate army, and several others who held minor offices or were in the rank, and one or two were killed during their service. He made his home in Sparta for a long time, operating a large cotton factory, selling goods and practicing law and medicine. About the year 1878 he moved to Crossville, Tenn., for his health, and has since been engaged in the practice of law and medicine in partnership with his son, C. E. Snodgrass, in that city. His wife, Mrs. Eliza (Evans) Snodgrass, is a daughter of Colonel Sevier Evans, who fought in the war of 1812. She was born in White county, Tenn. Doctor and Mrs. Snodgrass are the parents of a family of eleven children, ten of whom are now living, viz: Sevier, a physician in Texas; Judge David L., chief justice of the supreme court of the state of Tennessee; Jennie, wife of R. H. Swafford, of Crossville; Lou, wife of V. Carrick, of White county; William E., the subject of this sketch; Mattie, wife of W. C. Baker, of Crossville; Susie, who died at the age of eighteen; C. E., a prominent attorney of Crossville; Tom, of Crossville; James T., of Crossville; and Annie May, wife of Judge E. G. Tollett, of Oklahoma. William E. Snodgrass attended the academy at Sparta and the Burritt College at Spencer. After completing his course of study he taught school for a time, and then began to read law in his father's office and was admitted to the bar at Crossville, in 1884. In 1885 he was united in marriage to Mrs. Addie L. Norwood, daughter of Colonel S. B. Northrop, and soon after moved to Bledsoe county, and has since made that his home. He was appointed state's attorney for the counties of Cumberland, Van Buren and Bledsoe to collect the back tax, and held that office until his task was completed. Mr. Snodgrass has built up for himself an extensive practice, and has long been recognized as one of the leading members of the Bledsoe county bar. Thoroughly learned in the law, always a student as well as a practitioner; with not only a quick but a comprehensive mind, earnest in his convictions, able in his assertion of them; devoted to the interests intrusted to his keeping, he has few superiors as a well equipped practitioner. Mr. and Mrs. Snodgrass have five children, whose names in the order of their birth are as follows: Nannie, Burt, Eliza, Tom and Ed. ========================== ========= The Story of My Search, by Charlou Dolan: Trying to get a handle on some of the Snodgrasses that moved into and out of Tennessee, I decided to start with Bledsoe Co. First I checked the deed records--no pre-1850 deeds. Just on a chance, I also checked the survey books, and sure enough, there they were, a veritable plethora of Snodgrasses. So the next problem was to find what they had done with the land, and, hopefully, get a clue as to where they had moved when they left Bledsoe County. I re-checked the deed indexes, just in case somehow I hadn't figured out how the indexes were organized and had missed finding the page with the Snodgrasses. Still didn't find any Snodgrass grantor deeds until 1893! Next I checked the deed indexes for the counties that had been made out of Bledsoe i.e. Van Buren (1840), Cumberland (1856), and Sequatchie (1858). Still a blank--by this time I had spent several hours batting my head against this particular stone wall, with absolutely no results! So I went to the maps, using the place names mentioned in the surveys, and trying to find maps with a large enough scale to show the little creeks...and as far as I could determine, the land lay within the present boundaries of Bledsoe County...AAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHH! After talking to several experts there in the library, I finally found someone who appeared to know what was going on. It seems that whereas a survey was a necessary prerequisite to getting a land grant, there was no guarantee that the person having the survey done would ever complete the purchase of the land. Evidently, for some unknown reason, all these Snodgrasses left Bledsoe Co. without actually owning the land they'd had surveyed. There may be another explanation as to why there were no deeds for this land, but I have decided to leave any further efforts in this direction for someone else!

It is possible that he may be somewhat disabled, but there is no proof that he was ever wounded or otherwise injured while in the service, except his own affadivit, which is inadmissible. Unless he can produce the testimony of a commissioned officer, showing how, when and where he was disabled, and authenticated as the enclosed regulations direct, it will be unnecessary for him to make any further application, as a pension cannot be granted without such proof. - - - - - - - - - - Claiborne Co., TN, 5 Nov 1838, personally appeared in open court before the justices holding the same for the said county and now sitting, William Snodgrass aged 64 years who being first duly sworn according to law in order to obtain the benefit of the several acts of Congress made & provided for those soldiers who [suffer] from wounds and disabilities occasioned by wounds and disabilities rec'd in actual service under the acts of Congress, while in the line of his duty states that he entered in the service of the United States about the 24th or 25th of April 1813 at Knoxville under Lieutenant Col. Findley. Col Sevier had the command of the regiment which was the first rifle regiment that shortly after his enlistment which was for five years he was marched from Knoxville under his same officers 45 miles to Tazewell from thence to Lexington, KY, from that to Fort Malden in Canada. Maj'r Mcdonald went on with us from Knoxville on to Canada; from Malden I was marched to Fort George from thence to Sackett Harbour Gen'l Brown there had the Command; I was then transferd and went to Lake Champlain and was in the battle there was marched back to Sacketts Harbor from thence to black Rock and in the battle then rec'd several wounds and casualties while in the line of my duty; first by gunshot wound in my left leg just above the ancle joint scaled the bone but did not at the time disable me. Soon after I received another glancing shot in my shoulder, and by which my right colour bone was broken and the joint of my shoulder much injured and although I recovered the use of my arm and shoulder joint measureable I have never had good use of it since and have lately almost lost the entire use of it, and much affected with pains in consequent of the wounds & cold which i look after this time; I was ordered to cary a log of wood to Gen'l McCombs room while at Black Rock and by a slip of my foot fell and broke my left wrist which has become very stiff and useless; and was much injured by a fall at Utica when recruiting there under Leutenant Tipton in 1814. I was also in the battle at Queenstown and back again to Sackett's Harbor to Fort George and then back to Detroit and was then discharged by Captain Scilley Gen'l McCombs had the command of the place this was in February I think the 4th 1817; the reason I was discharged was the army was to be reduced and I was detailed to be discharged for three reasons first because I had been wounded and somewhat disabled 2nd because I was over 45 years old and because my time was short comparatively speaking to stay. I received my discharge and my dr. certificate which entitled me then to half pension which I filed with my discharge in the office of the Secretary of War when my land patent was sent to me I think it was in the fall of 1817 they was filed in that office by Wm. Blount who was at that time our representative in Congress from East Tennessee who brought the pattent for my land to me under administration of the late President James Monroe ... my height in my enlistment will be found 5 feet 10 inches, blue eyd, dark skind ...

Early in 1779, Chief Dragging Canoe had collected from the hostile tribes, on the waters of the Ohio and the Tennessee, more than a thousand warriors. His chief town was Chickamauga. These warriors committed more depredations on the frontiers than all the other Indians together. They were encouraged and equipped by British agents, who circulated freely among them, distributing rewards. Gov. Henry Hamilton, British Governor at Detroit, planned a grand coalition among all the Northern and Southern Indians. His strategic plan was to be aided by the British regular troops, who were to advance from the coast, when the Indians should make a simultaneous attack upon the entire frontier. The settlements, crushed between the two forces, whould have been entirely destroyed. In the prosecution of his plan, Gov. Hamilton had advanced from Detroit, had recaptured Vincennes, and contemplated an expedition against Kaskaskias, where he expected to be joined by 500 Cherokees and Chickasaws. Meanwhile, immense stores of ammunition, weapons, goods, cattle, horses, and money, were sent secretly from Pensacola, FL, to Chickamauga (which had been selected as headquarters) for the representatives of the tribes to carry to their followers. Ellis Harlan, a Scotish trader, heard rumors of the plan and saw that the warriors were gathering. He hastened to the Holston, where the pioneers of what is now upper East Tennessee were settled, and told his news to Col. Evan Shelby. Capt. James Robertson, agent for North Carolina among the Indians, and Capt. Joseph Martin, agent for Virginia among the Indians, had already learned that the Chickamaugas were in close touch with the British agents and that they were receiving great quantities of supplies from Pensacola. They had notified Gov. Richard Caswell, of North Carolina, and Gov. Patrick Henry, of Virginia, of these facts, and the two Governors were therefore somewhat prepared for the news that Col. Shelby transmitted to them. They realized the danger of the situation and determined to destroy the Chickamauga stronghold. Col. Shelby, who was then an officer of the Virginia Militia (survey of the line between Virginia and North Carolina subsequently proved that Col. Shelby's home was in North Carolina; his later service in the Revolution, therefore, was as an officer of North Carolina troops), was ordered to organize an expedition for that purpose, but the two states, straitened as they were in their resources by the expenses of the Revolution, were unable to advance any considerable sums for supplies and transportation. Col. Shelby summoned his friends and neighbors to a council. The response was enthusiastic. The Scotish trader had been unable to learn the date of the proposed attack upon the frontier, but the Americans knew that no time was to be lost if the country was to be saved. As the news flashed through the settlements, practically all the men who were not already in service in the armies in the Carolinas volunteered. Col. John Montgomery, who had been with George Rogers Clark, was detached from that service and ordered to join Col. Shelby. He commanded 150 men. Col. Shelby had raised 350 volunteers. The 500 men (Ramsey is in error in stating that 1,000 men participated in the Expedition, and some historians have continued to use his figures) rendezvoused at the mouth of Big Creek, a few miles above the site of Rogersville, 20 Mar 1779. Canoes and pirogues were made from the tall poplars of the neighboring forests, and in three weeks Col. Shelby was ready to embark. The women of the settlements contributed their part to the expedition by bringing supplies of provisions--bread and cooked meats. The troops embarked in the small fleet 10 Apr 1779 for their journey down the Tennessee River. The pilot was John Hudson, the only man in the party who had ever been in the wild country before. J. Woolridge, in the History of Nashville, gives April 13 as the date the expedition reached the Chickamauga and the date of the battle. When the fleet reached the mouth of Chickamauga Creek, the boats turned up that stream. Near the mouth of a smaller creek an Indian was taken prisoner and compelled to act as guide. The troops waded through an inundated canebrake to the principal Chickamauga town, which was one mile in length. The two chiefs, Dragging Canoe and Big Fool, were there with many of their followers. There were also many Tories and British agents, who had taken up their residence in the Chickamauga towns. The Indians and their allies were astonished by the invasion of their stronghold by water, and being completely surprised, were entirely overcome. They fled to the mountains, leaving the great quantities of British supplies to be captured by the Americans. The American soldiers pursued the Indians to the other towns, destroying in all eleven villages, among them probably Sitico and Tsatanugi. Little Owl's Town was destroyed. John McCroskey led a party of men who crossed the river and (according to Ramsey) burned a village on "Laurel Creek." There is no other mention of a Laurel Creek in Hamilton Co. records, and it was probably Falling Water Creek, where great tangles of laurel have always grown. A large Indian town is known to have existed near Falling Water Creek about that time. Horses, cattle, guns, ammunition, goods, and supplies of every sort, to the value of twenty thousand English pounds, were taken back to the American settlements. This amount, which was equal to $100,000, would be equal to at least ten times that much in today's currency. The soldiers burned or otherwise destroyed everything they could not take away. In addition to the great amount of stores that had been assembled by the British agents to be delivered to the Indians throughout the northern and southern country, the Americans found quantities of furs that belonged to Capt. John McDonald, a British agent and Indian trader, who had a store at Chickamauga. After the Indians were completely routed, Col. Shelby prepared to return overland to the American settlements. After crossing the Tennessee River near the mouth of Chickamauga Creek, he ordered all canoes and pirogues sunk in the river. On the bank of a stream on the north side of the Tennessee River, he ordered a sale of the captured horses, cattle, and weapons. A receipt, preserved by chance, proves the approximate date of the battle and the time of departure of the trooops: Chickamauga Twon, April 29, 1779. This is to certify that Col. Evan Shelby Bou't a black horse branded thus, L, about six years old for 120 pounds. (signed) Aaron Lewis, William Parker The creek took the name "Sale Creek," and is still called that today. Having ordered the destruction of the canoes and pirogues, Col. Shelby marched his troops overland through the wilderness to the settlements on the Holston and Watauga. On the forced march, the men suffered from lack of provisions, but they were the first white men (other than the traders, who allied themselves with the Indians) to see the new country, which included the present day counties of Knox, Rhea, Roane, Hamilton, Meigs, Polk, Bledsoe, Sequatchie, Bradley, Monroe, and others. Their reports to the settlers of the upper Tennessee country caused an instant and unceasing migration of settlers into the new country. The Chickamauga Expedition then, not only turned tide of the American Revolution, but it also set into motion a steady stream of immigration into lower Tennessee. The upper portion of the new country was settled first, and the immigrants went farther south by degrees. Hamilton County was the last segment of this land to receive an influx of settlers. The Chickamaugas and Dragging Canoe managed to delay the settlement for many years. Col. Shelby was thanked by Continental Congress for his ability and promptness, and for the successful termination of the Chickamauga Expedition. Very few names of the 500 men who took part in the expedition are known; if there was a roster made, it has not survived. Such names as are known have been gleaned from occasional references in other records, pension statements, etc. The troops, both known and unknown, made a great contribution to the success of the American Revolution and to the settlement of lower East Tennessee.

It is said that when Virginia and North Carolina were unable to finance the Expedition, Isaac Shelby, captain and commissary officer in the Virginia Militia, loaned the necessary funds from his personal resources, knowing full well that in case they failed, the debt could never be paid. He afterward became the first Governor of Kentucky. The success of the Chickamauga Expedition prevented Gov. Hamilton's proposed coalition of the hostile tribes, saved the settlements along the entire length of the frontier, and led directly to the final American victory at Yorktown. Because it was fought largely by troops not in the regular Army, but by volunteers from the mountain region, in a place and period in which communication was difficult, has contributed to the fact that the Chickamauga Expedition has had less notice in history books than has been given to many less important battles near the Atlantic Coast. But for the success at Chickamauga, there would have been no Battle at King's Mountain, no Battle at Yorktown, and the American Revolution would doubtless have been only the "Rebellion of his majesty's subjects in the American Colonies." The Chickamauga Expedition deserves to rank among the most important of the Revolutionary campaigns. Undertaken almost without funds and without hope of reward, it remains an outstanding example of pure patriotism. The men who volunteered faced grave dangers and prolonged deprivation, not only to protect their own homes, but also to protect the homes and lives of thousands of men and women whom they would never know or see. The following comment made by Judge Samuel Cole Williams, a well known hisstorian in his Address at Chickamauga in May 1929, is interesting and valuable: "The battle was fought against Indians, but against Indians financed, equipped, and incited by British agents. The foe was not less dangerous but more dangerous because it was savage. The significance of the struggle in the Southwest lies in the fact that had not the Indian allies of great Britain been opposed and defeated time and time again by the western soldiery of the upper East Tennessee Valley, the red men would have invaded Virginia and North Carolina and forced the soldiers of Gen. Washington to face about and confront them, leaving the seaboard an easy prey to the British naval and land forces and [to] the Tories of the Piedmont region." ----------------------------- 1840 Hamilton Co TN Census page 170: Robert Snodgrass = 1 m 0-5, 1 m 20-30, 1 m 60-70, 1 f 20-30, 1 f 50-60. ------------------------------------ 1850 Hamilton Co TN Census #1569/1569: Eliot Snotgrass 33-M-GA farmer, $300 [Elliot Snodgrass s/o Robert ?] Louesianna Snotgrass 35-F-GA [Louisa Snodgrass] Andrew Snotgrass 10-M-TN [Andrew J.
