Richard, I would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your replies. I know that my ancestors of Snead were not educated people as to the birth places and the first and second generations of Sneads are deceased. Throughout my years of growing up I was told Virginia, West Virginia and North Carolina was their origin. To date, I haven't had the time to thoroughly research the facts, but I hope that at my reunion I can verify some of the information. Again, thank you.
