This weekend I started working on a family line that I had not yet touched.  I started with Edith Snook nee Ackerson and went from there.  Thanks to the wonderful contributors on Find-A-Grave I was able to locate a stone for Phylah Dennis located in the Deckertown – Union Cemetery in Wantage New Jersey.

Phylah Dennis nee Parcel is the grandmother of Edith Snook Ackerson.

Born: 1816

Died: April 21, 1837 (4 months after Sarah Dennis was born.  Sarah is Edith’s mother)

Married: Joseph Dennis

From here I’m not sure who Phylah’s parents were.  My research shows that the Dennis, McCoy, and Parcel families were living near each other and marrying into each other’s families.  I’m not sure what family Phylah is directly related to at this time.

I added a new roadblock to my Snook page.

Meet Edith Snook nee Ackerman.  She is my Gr – Gr – grandmother on my father’s side.  This picture also shows my Gr – Gr – Grandfather Fred Snook.

What I’m trying to find out is when did Edith die and where is she buried.  I’m sure the answers are staring me in the face but I can’t find them at this time.  What I do know is that she last shows up on the 1930 census.  Also, Fred died in 1942 and was buried in Newton Cemetery, Newton New Jersey. On my to do list for the next trip to NJ is to visit that cemetery to see if she is there but not listed on FindaGrave or other databases.
