Surnames: Snoddy, Glasgow
I have several questions concerning this couple, and perhaps someone can point me toward the answers.

A John Snoddy is said to have married an Agnes Glasgow at the 1st Presbyterian in Philadelphia 7 Oct 1741. The marriages in this church are available in the form of the work Linn and Egle 1880. They do include a marriage for a John Snoddy and Agnes, but it's dated 7 August 1741, and Agnes last name is not given. (replaced by a ___, probably meaning it was not legible.)

I find numerous lineages that identify this couple as settling near the town of Abingdon in Southwest Virginia about the time of the Revolution.

I find other lineages that identify this couple as settling in Buckingham County, Va about 1743.

I've no doubt that there was a John Snoddy in both of those locations at that time. My questions are related to the identification of his wife as "Agnes Glasgow"

First, how do people know that her last name was "Glasgow"?

Second, what is the basis for thinking that the first name of the Wife of John Snoddy of Buckingham Co was "Agnes"?

Thirdely, what is the basis for thinking that the first name of the Wife of John Snoddy of Abingdon was "Agnes"?
