---

Martic Twp, Lancaster Co, PA - a farmer

He was of Scotch descent.
He and his wife came to Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, when their son John was a babe at his mother's breast, John having been born in Lancaster County not long prior to the year 1800. When William Snodgrass first came to Westmoreland County he rented a house from Col. Joseph Guthrie, in Derry township. The next year he purchased one hundred acres of land from Samuel Ramsey, in the same township, then afterwards purchased one hundred acres adjoining the first tract from Joseph Blair, and then thirty acres from Joseph Ross. He died leaving surviving him his widow and five children.
He and his wife were both Old-School Presbyterians.

In the language of his son John, he was "an industrious, saving man, and his mother was an extraordinary woman to manage; she managed and carried on the farm when the children were small."
