On one of the warmest days in January, Ruth Blevins, Sallie Lucas and I (Mabel Peters) met in Ripplemead, VA, to search for two Snidow Cemeteries. We were looking to confirm dates and document them for future reference. Ruth Blevins led the way to the first cemetery, which is located, literally, in a family's back yard on property once known as the Hale farm. Christian (Blacksmith) and Sarah Turner Snidow are buried here as well as some of their descendants. It is a small area surrounded by a boxwood hedge. Small saplings, berry brambles and vines cover the graves. Several of the tombstones have fallen, but they are still legible enough to read. Some have beautiful designs and interesting inscriptions.
