Three families are listed here that are related to each other: John SNAVELY, Adam SNAVELY, and John Draper FEAZELL. I'm not quite sure who John SNAVELY is. Adam SNAVELY is the father of Idella Josephine SNAVELY who is married to John FEAZELL.

In 1900, Adam SNAVELY, age 67, and Mollie, age 58, are living in Atkins Precinct of Smyth, Virginia. They are show to have been married 34 years, which would be about 1866.

Adam owns his own farm, and does not have a mortgage on it. He is listed as number 77 on the farm schedule.

Adam is working as a Magistrate, Mollie, his wife, and Mollie, his daughter are bothlisted as cooks.

Adam and Mollie are listed as having six children, all living. Three are living with them in 1900: Mollie, age 28, Gordon A, age 21, and Effie C, age 18.

Also, in 1900, John Draper FEAZELL, age 40, and Idella, age 33, are living in Atkins, Smyth, Virginia. They have been married 17 years, which would be about 1883.

John works as a farmer, as do his sons, Elbert, Joseph, Franklin (Adam), Emmett, and George. Idella worked as a cook. John, Idella, Elbert, and Joseph, worked the entire year; Franklin and Emmett for six months. Elbert and Joseph were in school for 3 months.

I am curious as to where the two Mollie's and Idelaa were employeed as cooks.
