In 1741 a John Snoddy married Agnes in the First Presbyterian Church in Philadelphia, PA. Agnes' last name is not given in the marriage record, but many genealogists trace their descent to this couple, and identifing him as person:John Snoddy and her as "Agness Glasgow". According to these Researchers John and Agness soon moved to the Willis' River area within the James River watershed. At the time the area where they settled was in Albemarle County, but subsequent changes in country boundries placed them successively in Buckingham County, and then Cumberland County. (For convenience we will follow the convention of identifying this John Snoddy as "of Buckingham County".) Just before the Revolution John and Agness moved to southwest Virignia, settling near Abingdon in what is now Washington County. Here John became one of the first Justice of the Washington County. Some believe that he died here in 1784, while others show him moving on to Jefferson County TN, dying there in 1786. In either case "Agness Glasgow Snoddy" is said to have died in Jefferson County in 1791. Direct confirming evidence for John's death in either location at either date, has not been found. Nor has confirming evidence for Agnes' death in Jefferson County been found.

While many genealogists believe that the John Snoddy of Buckingham County is in fact the John Snoddy who married Agnes in Philadelphia in 1741, direct evidence for this has not been found. In this regard, the following is noted:

No record has been found indicating that the wife of person: John Snoddy was in fact an "Agnes", let alone "Agnes Glasgow."

Since the couple who married in 1741 did so in a Presbyterian Church, it can be assumed that they were in fact Presbyterian. Yet within a few years they are said to have moved to central Virginia, where the Anglican church was the established religion. Here, they would not have been allowed to practice their faith. This makes their relocation to Virginia seem less likely, though other presumed Scotch Irish did settle a bit further west, on the eastern slopes of the Blue Ridge.

No record has been found that links John Snoddy to Pennsylvania. Though there are in fact "John Snoddy's" in Pennsylvania about this time, they either died before the 1741 marriage or are known to have remained in Pennsylvania until after a John Snoddy appears in Buckingham County in 1745.

While none of the above issues conclusively show that John of Buckingham cannot be the John Snoddy who married Agnes in Philadelphia in 1741, they are sufficient to raise a question as to whether the "conventional view" of this marriage is correct.
