Albert Snell Family from Lawrence County Ohio

Updated August 13, 2005

About Our Family Research


I am trying to trace my history in these United States of America! I need help!

Looking for any information on Albert Snell, born Sept. 28, 1824...father unknown. Albert was born in "Virginia" but could possibly be what is now known as "West Virginia", since he moved across the river into Ohio.

Married "Sarah Anderson" in Lawrence County Ohio in 1843.

Please email lyndah38@yahoo.com with any info you may have.

Albert lived next to an "Andrew Snell" who is about 5 years older than he. Andrew was married to "Nancy Sumpter". They are also from VA. Please send info on Andrew as well.

Thank you!
