Hello Everyone,
A voice out of the past - Shawn, for those of us who are not on facebook, would you be
willing to share some other way? I would be most interested in what you have.
It's been probably 8 to 10 years since I have done anything with the
Snodgrass/Howell/Yingling/Dragoo and etc families. Shawn may remember that I helped the
committee with the Mt Pleasant twp part of the first new Delaware County book. I lived in
Brown County at the time.
There were many family intermarriages in the Cammack-Yorktown area in the early years and
our line mixes in most of them. My mother-in-law was Eva Pearl Snoggrass, daughter of
Jefferson Jarius Snodgrass. My father-in-law was one of the sons of John Q Howell of
Cammack. Both the Snodgrass and Howell famiies were pioneers to Delaware County.
Thanks Shawn.
Micki

Subject: [INDELAWA] Bible & Picture. SNODGRASS/DRAGOO/HOWELL
Hi All,
I have recently come into possession of an old family Bible. I actually had
to give it back, (LOL) but I scanned in the information from it.
It appears to be the Bible of one of the children or grandchildren of one of
the Belteshazzer <sic> Dragoos, and includes the surnames WEAVER, CONNER
and SNODGRASS.
Also included in the Bible was a picture. This picture is a tin type of a
man with a cigar in his mouth and it appears that he has a shaved head. This
is very unusual for a tin type in my experience.
Anyway, I am adding these scanned images to my group on Facebook at Gray's
Genealogical Gleanings.
If you have Facebook and you are interested in viewing them, feel free.
These items will be added around 6-7 pm tonight (Jan 18th, 2011).
I am very excited about this find, even though it is not my direct family. I
was hoping that it would be Nathaniel YINGLING's Bible since it came from
one of his descendents, but never the less a good find and I hope it is able
to shed some light on someone's work.
Thanks
Shawn Gray
