Biography

John Snow was born about 1818-1819 in Warren (became DeKalb in 1837) County, eastern Tennessee. He was the son of Joseph Snow, b: 1772 in Delaware, and his wife, Martha (Martin) Snow, b: ca. 1782 in South Carolina, USA. John Snow was the couple's 3rd child and 2nd son. His parents had moved from North Carolina to eastern Tennessee before 1813, with Joseph's older brother, Ebenezer Snow, b: 1758, and his family. Ebenezer Snow settled on a farm on the border of Roane and Morgan Counties, Tennessee. Joseph Snow moved 90 miles further west, in what was then Warren County and became DeKalb County, Tennessee, in 1837. John's older brother, Isaac Snow, was their first child born in the family's 2-room log cabin, at the foot of what became known as "Snow Hill," in 1814.

John Snow married Nancy Leathers McIntyre, b: 1823 in Rutherford NC, in about 1843, in DeKalb County, Tennessee. The couple initially had a farm near Snow Hill, DeKalb, Tennessee.
