20 WILLIAM SNOWDEN JR. [William 2, Joseph 1]
b. c 1801/2, Brooke Go., Va. (now Hancock Co., W. Va.); d. I Jun. 1874 at 72 (Hanc. Co. Death Records); s/o William Sr. and Anne Snowden; 1/m. 1 Sept. 1825 Mary (Polly) Pugh, Rev. George Scott offic. (M.Bk. 2 A, p. 34, Brooke Co.), b. c 1801/2 Brooke Co.; d. I Dec. 1854, age 52 yrs., 10 mos., on Tomlinson's Run. (Hanc. Co. Death Recs.); d/o Peter and Ann (Dunkin) Pugh; 2/m. 13 May 1858, at Hamilton, W. Va., Elizabeth Davidson; d/o Duncan Davidson of Beaver Co., Pa. (M. Bk. Hanc. Co.)

William Jr., a farmer, bought land in several parcels along Tomlinson's Run. This land was sold in 1812 to John Hunter by the heirs of the original patentee, Benjamin Johnston Sr. In 1831 David Pugh and his brother, Peter, bought a portion of this land from Hunter. David paid for and held 5/6ths of the purchase; Peter, 1/6th. (D. Bk. 9, p. 370, Brooke)

In 1836 David Pugh and his wife, Mary Snowden, (William Snowden's sister) sold their 5/6ths interest in 42 and 3/4 acres to her brother William, and that same year William was able to buy directly from John Hunter an additional 39 and 1/2 acres adjoining. (D. Bk. 11, p. 392, BiFooke) In 1846 and 1847 he acquired a tract of 14 and 1/2 acres in two purchases, one half from David and Mary Ingram, the other half from Eli Midcalf. (D. Bk. 12, p. 369; D. Bk. 16, p. 242, Brooke) He finally cleared the title to the original 42 + acres when he bought the remaining 1/6th interest in the land from his wife's brother, David Pugh, son of Peter. (D. Bk. 15, p. 460, Brooke) These holdings, which took more than ten years to acquire, and amounting to 96 + acres, were in William's estate when he died.

This land abutted land held by Hiram Murray and John Pugh, and William with these two men petitioned the Hancock Co. Court to view and lay out a road between New Manchester (Pughtown), Va. and Hookstown, Pa. on 8 May 1854. At the Sept. Court other members of the Pugh family along the proposed right-of-way offered to maintain the road if the county would build it. However, the Nov. Court rejected the road application and ordered the original petitioners to pay the cost of the Review and Application. A miscarriage of justice, it would seem, since this county road was in the interest of better movement in and out of the community, and later inhabitants finally built it at a greater cost, in order to have access to major national roads west.

William Snowden and his wife Mary are believed to be buried in Flats Cem. The loss of so many stones makes it impossible to authenticate this family tradition.
