Your Garrett Madison Snyder may be my great-grandfather, who raised his family in Whitley Co., Kentucky. I don't have a middle name on him, but he is listed in my baby book at Garrett M Snyder. He was born in Jellico, TN, just across the border from Whitley Co (where Rockholds is located,) or at least his birth was registered there. His date of birth is 11-14-1872. He was married to Belle Oaks (b. Saxton, Whitley, KY 2-1-1873) and had 2 children that I know of, my grandfather Lionel James "Red" Snyder (b. Lot, Whitley, KY 7-10-1908) and Ralph Whitney Snyder (b. Lot, Whitley, KY 8-14-1911, d. approx. 1930) There may be other sons and daughters, but my grandfather left home at 15 and never spoke of his family much.
Garrett's father was Franklin Snyder, b. 1850 Whitley Co, KY, and Franklin was the son of William (b. 1808, Whitley Co. KY) and Jemima (no info on her, but she is also listed as "Jemina.")
Garrett's mother was Susan Perkins. I am still trying to get info on her. She may be Susan E. Perkins of Tennessee, but I am not sure.
