Mary Burk Snidow Headstone
at Horseshoe Cemetery, Pembroke, Giles Co., Virginia
Recent discovery!!!
Don and Nancy Johnston, along with Jim Yarbrough and others, went to Horseshoe Cemetery in 2007 & 2008 to work on stabilizing the tombstones in the cemetery. In the process, another tombstone for Mary Burk Snidow was found! The Tombstone reads: Mary Snidow, Born 23 Dec 1761, Died 3 May 1825."
It was about a foot deep on top of Adeline Chapman Snidow's grave.
(Looks like she did die on May 3rd!)
(The following photos were taken in May 2004 by Jane Snidow-Lloyd).
Some of the headstone is difficult to read:
