Irving and Richard Snead were each living with one of the Link brothers in the Southern District of Halifax County, Virginia, in 1860. Silas and Byrd Link were sons of William Link and (probably) Sally Blackwell. 1860 United States Census (Family Number 860) Silas Link 36 b. VA Irving Snead 23 b. VA (Family Number 822) Byrd Lynk 35 b. VA Richard Sneed 22 b.VA This 1860 census also lists a Byrd Sneed, 53, with family (family 783), but so many men in Halifax County were named Byrd/Bird that this isn’t much of a clue to a relationship. Richard and Irvine Snead were also brothers, as shown by this census ten years before. 1850 United States Federal Census, Southern District, Halifax, Virginia (Family Number 782) Micajah Sneed 50 VA Elizabeth Sneed 48 VA John Sneed 28 VA Benjamin Sneed 23 VA Ann Sneed 21 VA Mary Sneed 18 VA Irvine Sneed 16 VA William Sneed 16 VA Richard Sneed 12 VA My own connection is to the Link family. Does anyone know of a relationship between the Sneads and Links?
