It is known that the Sneed's came out of England to America. In our Sneed line, Robert Sneed may have been the first to cross the Atlantic. We have not been able to find a date or place of birth for Robert, but we do know he lived and died in Accomack Co., Virginia in the late 1600s. The early Sneed's in America were apparently active in the local government of Accomack. Robert served as sheriff of Accomack County for several years, then took the office of County Recorder. After leaving the office of Sheriff, his eldest son took that office. The family then began migrating westward with some moving into Tennessee and others going to South Carolina, Alabama and Miss- issippi. The name is also found to be spelled Snead.
