I have been looking for a similar VA Sneed/Snead - Native American connection. William Boswell SNEED posted a Marriage Bond 23 Nov 1840 in Halifax Co VA to marry Delilah A. REDMAN. They both signed it. Their family listed next door in 1850/1860 Censuses in Clarksville, Mecklenburg Co VA. Daughter Frances Elmira SNEAD/SNEED m. The Rev. Francis Asbury JETER (Methodist; attended Randolph-Macon College), moved to Woodford Co IL after Civil War. He abandoned them, she secured a Divorce, moved the family by wagon train to Willamette Valley, Oregon to join other family members. She maintained her mother Delilah to be full blooded Native American.I have found no info ref. either William's or Delilah's siblings or parents. Can you help me?
