Biography

Lorentz Schnepp was born in 1723 in Alsace. He married Margaretha Stephan, daughter of Hans Peter Steffen and Maria Christina, about 1745. Lorentz Schnepp died in May 1782 in Shenandoah Co., VA.


Note:

Lawrence Snapp came to Pennsylvania in 1733 on the ship Samuel out of Rotterdam, arriving 17 AUG 1733. He was 10 years old at that time. Shortly thereafter he moved with his parents to the Opequon settlement of Jost Hite in northern Virginia near present day Stephens City. About 1745 he married Margaret Stephens (there is no proof that Margaret was a Stephens or a Gaines, but it should be noted that family tradition of one branch of the Snapp family indicates she was a Gaines. Evidence seems to indicate that Margaret is the daughter of Peter Stephens however. The Snapp and Stephens families lived in the same neighborhood, they stood as sponsors at baptisms for each others children, they had property dealings and the names of some of the children of Lawrence and Margaret reflect the same names found in the Stephens family. Also it would be highly unusual for the Germans to marry outside of their own group in this generation and Gaines is believed to be an English name). Lawrence purchased or rented a small farm near his father. About 1754 he moved to Strasburg in what is now Shenandoah Co. VA where he became a merchant of general supplies. About 1764 he purchased Jacob Funk's mill on Tumbling Run sometimes known as Snapp's Mill Run (approx. 1 mile west of Strasburg). Shortly thereafter he became an Elder of St. Paul's Lutheran Church and with the creation of Dunmore Co. in 1772 (eventually to become Shenandoah Co.) he was elected a vestryman of Beckford Parish. The stone dwelling which he purchased of the Funk heirs, newly erected by them in 1762, stands today at its original site. The building is mentioned in his will as his dwelling house adjacent to the mill. His business was already moderately successful at the beginning of the Revolution. From 1776 to 1778 he with 3 sons lived and worked in Philadelphia where, according to local history in Shenandoah Co, it is believed they sold supplies to the Continental Army at Valley Forge and New Jersey and may have known Baron Von Steuben. Anyhow, he made large profits. Returning home in 1780 he settled at Tumbling Run and in 1781 he purchased more land in Shenandoah Co. and let his sons run his store in Strasburg. He died May 1782 at Tumbling Run. A large part of this Snapp farm at Tumbling Run later became the site of the battle of Fisher's Hill in the Civil War.

Wayland, A History of Shenandoah County, Virginia, PP 406-408.

In the pastor's study, St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Strasburg hangs an old parchment signed by Lord Fairfax, whereby 200 acres of land on the west side of the "North River of Shenandoah" were granted on December 23, 1771, to Hieronomus Baker, Martin Roller, Laurence Snapp, and Henry Felkner, elders of the Lutheran Church and congregation. The records of this church indicate that a building was erected in 1769. this was probably the first church house built by the Lutherans at this place. It is probable that a church building which stood in the vicinity in 1747 and thereabout was the joint property of the Lutherans and the Reformed."

Biography

Capt. Joseph Isaac Parrett was born on 8 April 1760 in Toms Brook, Shenandoah Co., VA. He married Anna Maria Wendel, daughter of Johann Valentine Wendel, about 1780 in Toms Brook, Shenandoah Co., VA. Capt. Joseph Isaac Parrett married Sarah Morris on 24 July 1825 in Fayette Co., OH. He married Anna Hartman on 7 September 1837 in Fayette Co., OH. He died on 28 August 1847 in Wilmington, Clinton Co., OH,

Obituary -- (Findagrave.com):

Joseph enlisted as a private in Captain Jonathan Clark's Company, Colonel Peter Muhlenberg's 8th Virginia Regiment, and served until Dec. 25th, 1777, when he was made Lieutenant and Purchasing Commissary of Provisions and clothing for the army at Valley Forge. He was in the battles of Brandywine and Germantown and at the taking of Cornwallis, and was discharged in Nov. 1781 at Woodstock, VA. He served 5 years and 10 months. For the above, he was allowed a pension and 200 acres of bounty land. He moved to Ohio about 1812 and settled in Fayette Cty., about 5 miles north of Washington C.H. He later in life married Anna Hartman from Clinton Cty., and lived at Wilmington until his death. Owing to the fact that he had a military funeral and there was to be a salute fired over the grave, he was refused burial in the cemetery (Quaker) and was buried just outside the wall in the old Morris woods.

We have been told that as the procession came down the street the small boys sang:

"The boys hallowing down the street
Captain Parretts funerals coming
with barclay harlan in the lead
and Vandeburg adrumming"

The old cemetery and woods have long been merged into the town, and the grave site was located in an alley, but a marker to Capt. Parrett has been placed on the soldier's lot in Sugar Grove cemetery. He was buried in 1847 in Sugar Grove Cemetery, Wilmington, Clinton Co., OH, Findagrave #61107337.
Capt. Joseph Isaac Parrett began military service in December 1775

Revolutionary War service. Enlisted in Virginia militia. Served in Capt. Jonathan Clark's Company of the 8th Virginia Regiment, Revolutionary War. Commissioned Lieutenant in 1778, served the balance of the war, and was discharged at Woodstock, VA in November 1781. Referred to as "Capt." Joseph Parrett in the History of Fayette County, Ohio, Frank M. Allen, Editor, B. F. Bowden & Co., Inc., Indianapolis, 1914, p.85. Was given land warrants in Ohio for military service.

Biography

Frederick Parrett was born in 1715 in Alsace-Lorraine. He married Barbara Edwards about 1738. He died in 1798 in Toms Brook, Shenandoah Co., VA,

Obituary -- (Findagrave.com):

Frederick is thought to have been born in Bern, Bern, Switzerland in about 1717 and migrated to America at about the age of 20 in 1737. (In 1849 his grandson Joseph Frederick Parrott gave a history of the family, at a reunion for that year, he stated that Frederick was German in that speech.)

He met and married Barbara Elizabeth Edwards, in Philadelphia, in about 1738. Barbara was thought to have immigrated from England. Records show they moved to, and settled in, Dunmore County, Virginia, later Shenandoah County.

The couple became the parents of 7-sons, who all served as soldiers in the Revolutionary War, and 2-daughters.

Frederick was preceded in death by his wife Barbara, about 1780 at the approximate age of 58, and his son George, who died while serving as a Revolutionary Soldier after the battle of Germantown in 1777 at the approximate age of 31.

Three of their sons later moved to Ohio, and received bounty land from the government for their service in the war. Two sons stayed in Virginia. The youngest son Frederick, cared for his father until he passed, but moved on to Ohio after that time. The oldest son John Sr. moved his family to the mountains of Green County, North Carolina. (Later to become Cocke County, Tennessee)

Frederick was said to have been buried in the family cemetery on their Virginia farm, near Tom's Brook. The exact location of the cemetery is not known today. Descendants of their sons are known to spell the family name as either Parrett or Parrott.

The grave of one daughter 'Elizabeth' (may have married Henry Shoemaker) has not, yet, been located and linked to her parents graves.

The Descendants of Frederick and Barbara have spread across the American Continent, and have a presence in a number of the United States. He was buried in 1798 in Parrett Family Cemetery, Toms Brook, Shenandoah Co., VA, Findagrave #116546466.
