Snow and Eager family tree
The Snow family Mormon roots go back to the origin of that religion and to the settlers to Utah. Most Mormons come from either New England, New York, Ireland, or the British Isles. Most of Mormon history has been written about by many others. Thus specifics on this case are all that are needed.
The eight lines of his great grandparents are Snow – Forsyth – Turner – Sanford – Eagar – Lee – Webb – Berry. Erastus Snow was one of the leaders of the Mormon movement. He and his family came from Vermont to Utah in the 1840s. His son Edward Hunter Snow raised his family in the new town of Saint George of Washington County of Utah. He and his wife Sarah Hannah Nelson were active in forming new schools and civic groups. The entire state needed to be made from scratch and they proved worthy pioneers. Their son Edward Vernon Snow married Lucille Forsyth, granddaughter of Scottish and English Mormon settlers.
The Turner family came from England in 1842 to join the initial Mormon movement. They persecution that the Mormons suffered caused them to move from state to state. The Turners faithfully moved with it. Lorenzo Turner and Lydia Hall had the typical large Mormon family of 12 children. They lived in many ranch and farming communities. Their son Reuben Turner married Cordelia Sanford in 1909 and had 12 children like his parents. If the Snow line is the civic leader line, then the Turner family is the farming line.
Joel Eagar and his wives had 14 children. They lived in many ranching communities of Utah, Arizona, and Mexico. With his wife Emily Jane Lee, they had Walter Eagar, the grandfather of Mark Snow. Walter married Jesse Webb in Saint George Utah. The Mormons are strong on the family unit and love their history. It is easy to obtain pictures of Mormon ancestors.
Moses Jarres Badcock married Mary Webb in about 1840 in England. After having two children with him, Mary was so chagrined at his drinking and troubling behavior that she change back to her maiden name of Mary Webb and did the same name change for the children. She too needed a religious change and join the Mormon movement to the USA. Her son William Webb married Amelia Jarvis of England in Salt Lake City in 1869. Like all immigrant groups there was a strong tendency to marry in ones original ethnicity. But as per usual it only lasted a generation. William had a son Ephriam Jarvis Webb that married a woman that had grandparents from the backwoods of Kentucky and Tennessee.
