A note about the inventory from former Snidow Historian T. Nat Clark in the 1990 Snidow Newsletter V. 13-1: "Historians have been able to find very little information on John Jacob Snidow after he left the state of Pennsylvania to come to Virginia. An appraisal of his estate, dated Sept. 5, 1772, is recorded in Botetourt County, VA, Will Book 1, page 25. On a recent trip to Botetourt Co. to research the Snidow Family, Mary French Boswell, Ruth Blevins and I asked whether we could see the original document. The Clerk of the Court graciously agreed, went to the old archives and produced the 218 year old document - to our joy! "
