I would like to make contact with the family of William Richard Snedeker and Shirley
Anne Reedy. They were married in Vigo County in 1947. My husband's family came to
Champaign County, Ohio from Shenandoah County, Virginia about 1877. The Reedy / Reidi
family was originally in America in Pennsylvania. I would like to know how Shirley might
be related. I am also tracing the Snedeker lines that are in Terre Haute. Our
research indicates that William Richard Snedeker is the son of Ralph C. and Emma Merry
Snedeker. Ralph C. Snedeker and Emma Merry were cousins. Emma Merry is the daughter of
William and Mary Jane Conover Snedeker. Mary Jane Conover Merry's mother is Elnor
Snedeker Conover and her father was Ralph R. Conover. The Conover's are buried in
Terre Haute with my gg-grandparents, William and Catherine Warth Conover. We believe
William and Ralph R. Conover are brothers from New Jersey. The Snedeker family came to
Indiana from New Jersey as well . !
Ralph R. Conover settled his family in Vigo County about 1838 in Harrison Township.
Thank you. <rreedy(a)mics.net> <MMER2000(a)aol.com>
