|
List of Slaves from the Sneed Family Bible of Dr. Richard Sneed of Granville County, NC |
|
As shared with me by Daniel Mahar in 2002 |
|
Richard Sneed (1790 -1861) was the son of Stephen Sneed & Mary Williams; he was married to Lucy Farrar Henderson, daughter of Judge Leonard Henderson & Frances Farrar, all of Granville County. By 1860, the only SNEED family remaining in Granville Co. was Richard's son, William M. Sneed (1819-1891), also a slaveholder, who held about 33 Slaves in 1850 and 49 Slaves in 1860; most of the former slaves bearing the SNEED surname by 1870, were those formerly held by William. Richard held various amounts of slaves through the years, with 32 in 1830, to 25 in 1850 the last Census year he was in Granville Co. He and most of his family moved to Henderson Co., KY in 1852. He sold some of his slaves in the years prior to his move, including some to his son William, and in 1860 Kentucky, he had 14 Slaves. Following is the list of Slaves along with birth dates named in the Sneed Family Bible. |
