About Hannah Snethen
NO MARKER for Hannah grave. Castro/Casto
She lived to be about 96 years of age, as nearly as could be determined from what she remembered and other dates from which was reckoned. From The Barefoot Preacher, Hannah son Rev Abe book--that would put her b ca 1744? or d 1870 if born ca 1774 at age 96y...? NO RECORD FOUND OF GRAVE LOCATION OR DEATH. Just Autobiography of son Abraham 'Abe'-The Barefoot Preacher.
BOOK, The Barefoot Preacher pg 35 by Rev Abraham Snethen, Abe was brother to MY ANCESTOR Rev Wm mar Margaret Simonton-Simmington-MY 3rd great-grandparents.. Owner of 3 books from years ago. Rev Abraham the barefoot preacher, I met his 3rd great granddaughter Grace from Abe son line, in Cass County Indiana and owner of large original photo of Rev Abraham Snethen.
pg 35: By Rev Abe: Boyhood Days: Abe: I was born in Bourbon Co Kentucky, January 15, 1794. My father was a native of New Jersey and my mother whose maiden name was CASTRO, was born in Virginia. My parents located at Bryant Station Kentucky about the time it was besieged by the Indians. They settled finally in the mountain part of Bourbon County, on Goose, or Grapevine Creek. I was third in a family of eleven children; 5 sons, and 6 daughters, and was reared in the wild woods of a state which at that time was undeveloped, and full of superstition, book continues.......
pg 223: Emigrating To Indiana: Abe: In June, 1836 I removed to White Co Indiana. My mother had received a stroke of palsy several years prior to this time, and was helpless; and though she desired to accompany us, and we desired to have it so, we were compelled to leave her in Ohio, for the time being. For a long time my mother had made her home with us, as my father had gone to Indiana to visit my sister Hannah Louis, who lived at that time in Green County. My father was restless in his anxiety to see the frontier. He was born in the wilds of Kentucky, and was a hunter in spirit and in habit. He could not endure the advance of civilization, for he was a frontiersman in the truest sense of the word. The 'betterments' of society, as he was wont to call them, had no charm for him. The bear, the wolf, the panther, and the rude outdoor life, had become parts of his enjoyment and companions, and as the rifle and the activities of the settlers had driven the game far away, and outdoor life as the hunters knew it, was not so common, my father hungered for the old time life and ways, and hoping in a measure to satisfy that hunger, he went on his [pg 224]- pilgrimage to Indiana, and while on this trip he took sick and died, and from that time on, my mother had made her home with me, and continued to do so until she died. I did not leave her in Ohio any longer than was absolutely necessary, and then prepared a large bed in a wagon for her, and took her to my new home in Indiana. She [Hannah Castro-Snethen] lived only about six [6] weeks after we reached our home. She died in the triumphs of a living faith in Jesus Christ. She was born and reared in the midst of poverty and ignorance, had spent her life in the unbroken forests of the frontier, but she was a good woman, and had lived in peace with all her neighbors. She dated her conversion from the day I had gone to hunt the cows, and finding God so precious to my soul, ran home, and laying my head in her lap tearfully and joyfully told her how happy I was. She joined the Christian Church in the year 1820. She lived to be about 96 years of age, as nearly as could be determined from what she remembered and other dates from which was reckoned. On that day when I laid my head in my mother's lap and wept out the joy of my salvation, my father seeing such a marked changed in me, said, "Abe, are you crazy?" My reply made a lasting impression upon his mind, and soon after we moved to Ohio, he joined the Methodist Church. My brother William [MY Ancestor Rev Wm]--[pg 235--Continue]..
Pg 215--PROSPECTING IN INDIANA. Abe-Having been born and reared in the mountains of Kentucky, and having know nothing but frontier life, it was but natural that as Ohio settled up, I should long for a more definite frontier life than I found in Montgomery County, in 1835; and so in that year, I sold my farm, and proceeded to arrange for removal to a more distant western location. I felt also, that I had done all I could well do, in building up the cause of the Christians in Ohio, and that it was my duty to go to a new field. In the fall of 1835, I left my family and started westward to take a look at the country. In Indiana I traversed the counties of Cass, Pulaski, White and Carroll. After a due examination of the lands, and a careful investigation of the conditions, both social and religious, I finally decided to purchase government land in White County near Tippecanoe, which I immediately proceeded to do. In my travels through Indiana, I found members of the Christian Church in several localities, and preached quite a number of times along the settlements of the Wabash River. Continue in book.....
