SARAH SNODDY (1753 – ca 1828)
1. SARAH SNODDY (SAMUEL) was born May 15, 1753 in NC, and died Bet. 1822 - 1828 in Iredell Co, NC. She married ANDREW MITCHELL Feb 21, 1775 in Rowan Co, NC, son of JOHN MITCHELL and CYNTHIA MORTON. He was born 1756 in ?NC, and died Bef. 1805 in ?Iredell Co, NC.
Notes for SARAH SNODDY:
The following information is from John Hale Stutesman's book "Samuel and Elizabeth (Sloan) Snoddy".
On February 21, 1775, Andrew Mitchell made bond in Rowan County, North Carolina, for his marriage to "Margret Snoddy", a daughter of Samuel Snoddy who was co-bondsman (Rowan Co, NC Marriage Book). That young woman had another thought. On the night before the proposed wedding, perhaps with the connivance of her mother, she ran off with another man [Joseph McCorkle]. Their daughter told her daughter, Mrs. Hars, that "there was no interruption in the wedding festivities. Another sister filled Margaret's place." That bride was the "daughter Sarah Mitchel" named in her father's will.
Andrew Mitchell was the son of John and Lilias (Morton) Mitchell who were married in Scotland and migrated to Pennsylvania where the father died in 1760. The widow brought her children south to the North Carolina piedmont where she was remarried. Rowan County court allowed Andrew Mitchell in October 1768 to be the "surety" on a guardianship bond for his brothers (Rowan County Court Minutes). This indicates that Andrew was born before 1748.
In 1778 Andrew Mitchell entered a claim in the North Carolina Land Office for 630 acres in Rowan County "on Both Sides of Hunting Creek." That land lies today in the northeast corner of Iredell County, North Carolina. In subsequent years, Mitchell added to that acreage.
The War for American Independence drew out the men of Rowan County, with few exceptions fighting for the rebels. The man who married Sally Snoddy may have been the "Andrew Mitchell" who was paid for service in the Rowan County militia during that conflict (NC Rev. War payments, Salisbury District, NC Archives, Raleigh).
In 1788 "Andrew Mitchel & wife Sarah" sold some of their land. That was the year that Iredell County was formed from part of Rowan, including the Mitchell homestead. The 1790 census counted "Andrew Mitchell" there at the head of a household of five females, two males under 16, a male over 15, and nine slaves. The 1800 census also found him in Iredell County, NC.
On May 29, 1803, Andrew Mitchell signed his will there, naming as heirs his "wife Sarah", sons Samuel and Andrew, and daughters "Sally Wright" with unmarried "Lillis, Martha, Mary, Cinthey". He disposed of land in Iredell County, NC and in "Kentucky", with fourteen slaves. That will was probated in November 1805, which strongly suggests that Andrew Mitchell died in 1805.
The widow stayed on the land left to her by her husband. Apparently, her widowed mother came to live with her. On December 16,1815, that woman made her will in Iredell County, bequeathing "to my Daughter Sarah Mitchel all the property that I now possess."
Mrs. Hars recorded, "Sarah Snoddy died in North Carolina". She probably was the elderly female in her son Samuel's household in the 1820 census of Iredell County, NC. On November 20, 1822, the Administrator of the estate of that son Samuel, published his intent to sell the personal property of the deceased in a few weeks "on Hunting Creek where the widow Mitchell now lives.
In August 1828, "Andrew Mitchell of Lawrence County, Alabama" sold the land in Iredell County, NC, which had been "originally granted to Andrew Mitchell, deceased, and willed to Samuel Mitchell, late deceased, and myself." That sale of land of the old homestead suggests, but does not prove, that Sarah had died.
The will of Andrew Mitchell named seven children: (1) Lillis (2) Samuel (3) Andrew (4) Sarah (5) Martha (6) Mary, and (7) Cynthia.
In Aug 1828, Andrew Mitchell of Lawrence Co, AL, sold land in Iredell Co, NC, which had been originally granted to Andrew Mitchell, dec'd and willed to Samuel Mitchell, late dec'd. The sale of the old family homestead suggests that Sarah had died.

"Manoah Bostick Hampton was born 25 June 1799 in Stokes County, NC. He married Cynthia Mitchell (24 Jun 1795-21 May 1853) on 28 February 1822 in Stokes County, daughter of Andrew Mitchell and Sarah “Sally” Snoddy. Manoah and Cynthia followed in the footsteps of many of our Scots/Irish families. They moved from the Carolinas into lower Tennessee and North Alabama, together or following each other. It surely had to do with the Indians being removed. In 1830, Congress passed the Indian Removal Act. During this time, the US government constructed forts all through North Alabama and Southern TN, and there is a Hampton Fort in north AL. In 1835, the Indians agreed to move beyond the Mississippi River. By 1840, all of the Eastern tribes had been subdued... as in the "Trial of Tears." By 1835 Manoah and Cynthia are in Huntsville, AL, where he acquires at least 200 acres of land and was a farmer. Manoah died 16 February 1858, and Cynthia died 21 May 1853.
Cousin Betty Bostwick, who has the portraits of Manoah and Cynthia Mitchell Hampton, visited their graves and obtained affidavits regarding the inscriptions on their tombstones: "

"Dr. John Placebo Hampton (1825-1907) was a physician in Madison County, AL He married 3 times, and lived a long and useful life. I have been in contact with a descendant of Dr. Hampton, who provided some wonderful family stories and photos (one of John P. Hampton provided below).
From “The Confederate Veteran” Dr. John P. Hampton, one of the oldest and most prominent citizens of Huntsville, Alabama, fell asleep on June 8, 1907. Dr. Hampton was born in Lawrence County, AL, January 22, 1825. He graduated from LaGrange Military Academy. He moved to Monroe (now Clay) County, Miss, and while engaged in farming there he studied medicine under Dr. Clapp, graduating from the Pennsylvania Medical College in 1850.
At the outbreak of the Civil War he entered the Confederate army as a private. He organized a company of infantry and was elected its captain. This became Company F, of the 43rd Mississippi Regiment, under Col. William H. Moore. He was in all of the battles fought by that regiment up until Franklin, Tenn., November 30, 1864, where he was severely wounded, losing his right foot, and he was made a prisoner. He was kindly cared for by Mrs. John McGavock, and while there, wounded and a prisoner, a lady cousin of his came, prepared to help him escape; but he refused to accept his freedom because his escape would have caused the removal of the other prisoners, many of whom were in such a critical condition that moving them would have been certain death.
From the McGavock home he was carried to Nashville (where he received many kindnesses from Father Ryan), and from there to Camp Chase, Ohio, where he was still imprisoned when the war closed. He was made major just before the battle of Franklin, but was wounded and taken prisoner before receiving his commission. He was acting as lieutenant colonel in that desperate charge between the railroad and the pike.
After the war Dr. Hampton with several others contributed several hundred dollars toward the expense of conveying and removing the Confederate dead from the battlefield to the McGavock Cemetery. In 1872 he removed with his family to Madison County, Ala., where he continued to reside until his death. He first married Miss Amanda Evans of Monroe County, Miss., who lived only a few years. His second wife was Mrs. Susan A. Burt, of Lowndes County, Miss., who died in 1856, leaving three children: John M. and William Burt Hampton and Madison County, Ala., and P.H. Hampton, now residing in Lincoln County, TN. In 1868 he married Miss Mary T. Battle (a cousin) of Madison County, Ala, who died in May 1884, leaving no children.
Dr. Hampton’s grandfather, Samuel Hampton, who fought for American Independence, and Gen. Wade Hampton, of Revolutionary fame, were descendants of Sir John Hampton, from whom Hampton Roads receives its name. Dr. Hampton had in his possession several bonds of the State of North Carolina issued in 1780, which were given to his grandfather for services in the Continental army and which were never redeemed.
His was a life as full of useful deeds and active good as it was of honorable years. He was a man who in all the relations of life gave his fellow-man an example of the ideal citizen. He always promptly answered the call of duty, bravely met the responsibilities of life and faithfully discharged them. He was not only a man of convictions but courage, yet was ever considerate of the opinions of those who differed from him. He was loyal to his Church, faithful to his country, true to his friends, obliging to his neighbors, devoted and tenderly affectionate in his family, and had lived, as he died, a consistent Christian. For fifty years he was deacon in the Baptist Church, and for twenty-one years he was Moderator of the Liberty Baptist Association. Twice he represented Madison County in the Legislature. He was a zealous Mason, for years serving his lodge as Worshipful Master. He was also interested in agriculture, and was President of the old Farmers’ Club of Madison County, and under his wise leadership his county for many ears won the first prize in the State fairs.
The last seventeen years of his life were devoted almost exclusively to the service of his Church and the people of his county and State. He was intensely interested in the cause of education, and accomplished much in that line. He was a devoted Confed3erate and a member of the Egbert Jones Camp at Huntsville, and a faithful friend and subscriber to the Confederate Veteran from its infancy.”

4. MARY MITCHELL7 HAMPTON (CYNTHIA "CINTHEY"6 MITCHELL, SARAH5 SNODDY, SAMUEL4, ?JOSEPH3, WILLIAM2, ?1) was born Abt. 1823 in Stokes Co, NC, and died Feb 01, 1899 in Lincoln Co, MO. She married THOMAS FRANKLIN HOUSTON. He was born Jul 30, 1818 in Hunting Creek, Iredell Co, NC.
Notes for THOMAS FRANKLIN HOUSTON:
The life of Col. Thos. F. Houston is recounted in the 1882 History of Pettis County, MO, portions of which reads:
“He laid out the town of Houstonia. His early youth was spent in acquiring an education, and assisting his father in the duties of the plantation. When about twenty years of age he began the study of law under the tuition of Gen. James Cook, of Mocksville, and afterwards with Hon. R.M. Pearson, late Chief Justice of the Supreme Court of North Carolina, and was licensed to practice by the Supreme Court of the State in June, 1840. In 1845, he located in Leighton, Ala., where he was married that year to Miss Mary M. Hampton, a lady of culture and refinement. She is a native of North Carolina, but was raised in Alabama. In the autumn of 1848, he came west, locating where now stands the village of Bunceton, Cooper County, Mo. Here he continued farming until the spring of 1851, when he came to Pettis County, locating on his present farm. His original purchase was 920 acres, to which he subsequently added until he was in possession of a body of near 5,000 acres. Since his coming to this county Colonel H., has changed the appearance of this locality to a great extent, and in a few years the fruits of his industry were plainly visible. Broad fields of wheat and corn, to the extent of 3,000 acres, large herds of cattle, sheep and swine, could be seen where but a few years previous was barrenness and waste. His improvements were of a substantial as well as an extensive character. At the breaking out of the war, Col. Houston was a strong Union man, but on account of the policy adopted by the Federals, he became an earnest sympathizer with the Southern cause, and early in 1861, joined the Confederate corps under Capt. Robinson. Early in 1862, he was commissioned Lieut.- Colonel, to organize and drill a regiment, which he succeeded in doing, and was captured by the Federals when about ready to depart for the front. He was kept a prisoner, and was indicted by the United States Court, and kept under parole until 1865. When he returned home he again took up the peaceful pursuits of his business. That he has been identified with the development of the county, as well as the organization of society, are facts too widely known to admit of question. He was one of the founders of the Agricultural Society, and was chosen president and director, which offices he filled efficiently for many years. He, in fact, gave liberally of his time and means to its support. He organized and established the first school in this section, and has been an active worker for educational interests since. He was also one of the founders of the Houstonia Christian Church, and has been a liberal contributor since its organization. During the agitation of the railroad project the Colonel was elected a director of the Lexington & St. Louis R.R. Company. He was then elected vice-president, and later, president; which office he held until the road was transferred to the Missouri Pacific Railway Company. In the autumn of 1880, he was unanimously chosen by the Democratic Convention as a candidate for Representative to the Legislature, and was elected by a large majority, although he persistently refused the office. He has made an efficient and honorable Representative, and identified himself with measures which resulted to the advantage of his constituents. He has raised a family of five children: Frank, an attorney of Sedalia; Augustus Y., also a business man of Sedalia; Mary, wife of Jas. S. Napton; Elizabeth, who died in 1875, wife of John Napton; and Emma who resides with her parents.
