Note: The family moved to Indiana aroudn 1812 and Betsy died about three years later in 1815. William may have had a second wife named Lettie and they may have had nine children.
The following information was compiled by George S. Snodgrass acknowledging information received from Melissa Steel, Mary Copenhaven and others:
"William Snodgrass married Sarah Elizabeth "Betsy" Haymond who is said to have been one of the white women in Prickett's Fort at the time of David Morgan's encounter with the Indians. In this encounter, the two Indians were slain and David Morgan suffered the loss of one finger and injury to others by a tomahawk thrown by one of the Indians. (1779) He owned what later was the Lantz farm on Big Fishing Creek which he sold in 1812 and moved his family to Indiana when his son, Thomas Haymond Snodgrass was 15. He (William) did not return to Virginia but Thomas Haymond did when he was about 20 and married Anna Higginbotham. It is understood that Thomas Haymond did not hear from his people in Indiana after the Civil War."
