FORMATION OF BARBOUR COUNTY: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbour_County,_West_Virginia Settlement and formation]
Barbour County was created from parts of Lewis, Harrison, and Randolph counties by an act of the Virginia legislature on March 3, 1843.
The first white settlement in present-day Barbour County was established in 1780 by Richard Talbott – along with his brother Cotteral and sister Charity – about three miles (5 km) downriver from the future site of Philippi.[4] At this time the region was still a part of Monongalia County, Virginia. The region had had no permanent Indian settlements and so conflicts with Native Americans were relatively infrequent in the early days. Nevertheless, the Talbotts were obliged to leave their homestead several times for safety and twice found it necessary to retreat back east of the Alleghenies, returning each time. No member of this eventually large family was ever killed by Indian attacks.[5]
Over time, parts of the future Barbour County were included in the newly created Harrison (1784), Randolph (1787), and Lewis (1816) Counties. Barbour County itself was created in 1843 and named for the late Virginia politician and jurist Philip Pendleton Barbour (1783–1841). (Barbour had served as a U.S. Congressman from Virginia, Speaker of the House, and Associate Justice of the United States Supreme Court.) The settlement of Philippi – formerly "Anglin's Ford" and "Booth's Ferry" – was platted, named, and made the county seat in the same year; it was chartered in 1844. By the 1850s, when a major covered bridge was constructed at Philippi to service travelers on the Beverly-Fairmont Turnpike, the County's population was approaching 10,000 people
Snyder and Thompson Manuscripts Available Jeff Carr has written narratives on these local families, and is offering them for sale. He has documented some of the early origins of the Thompson family and Snider family of Pendleton County. He does not descend from these families, but was lucky enough to find records that clarify their origins. Oddly enough, breakthroughs on both families came by discovering court cases that document the early generations of the family.
"The breakthrough on the Snyder family came about by two points. The first was the realization that the Snyders could have been known as "Taylors," since the German word schneider refers to the occupation of tailor. The second point was found via another court case. The earliest identified ancestor of the family is Casper Schneider/Taylor, who came to Virginia from Lancaster, PA. He first settled in the Frederick/Shenandoah County area; he later settled briefly in Pendleton, then moved on to Augusta County. There, Casper Taylor had an ill-executed deed, and after his death, the grantees sued the Taylor heirs, all of whom were living in 1813. All of the Sniders of Pendleton, Highland, and Randolph Counties in the 1800's descend from his sons John and Jacob. Casper had daughters that married into the Hoover, Hammer, Crummet, Shaver, and Robertson families. The Sniders are discussed in the narrative down through Casper's grandchildren, to about 1830. "
