A Wilson Family Tree

Notes for Margaret (Martha) Snoddy

She is listed as Martha Snoddy by James Hotchkiss, but the marriage record from Howard Co. lists her as Margaret. I have also found Margaret Snoddy, married to Robert Wilson, listed in some Snoddy genealogies.

From a posting to the SNODDY-L mailing list by Joann Tortarolo dated 28 Mar 1999:

I found in the book, Old Saint Jo: Gateway to the West 1799-1932, written in 1979 by Sheridin A. Logan the following:

Armstrong Beattie (mayor of St. Joseph, MO) married Eliza Snoddy 1841 (in Howard Co., MO), and they moved to Huntsville in Randolph Co., MO where he was a merchant for 10 years..and then moved on to St. Jo.

The sister of Mrs. Armstrong Beattie was Margaret Snoddy who married Robert Wilson (US Senator 1861-1873). [Note, RW was only a US Senator from 1862 - 1863.]

Armstrong Beattie took their son, James M. Wilson into partnership in his bank, and after the death of Mrs. Wilson, her daughter Mary Ann was taken to live with the Armstrong Beatties at their home at Main and Auguste Streets, now the Memorial Home. It was there that Mary Ann Wilson was married to Rufus L. McDonald in May 1855.
