After the Civil War (1860-1865), many new areas of the country were
opened up for settlement. The Stambaugh family, and various allied
famiies, were among the ones who migrated West between 1865 and
1870. John George Snyder and his wife, Sarah Stambaugh, were among
the new settlers who arrived in Callaway County, Missouri. The
migrants prospered, and their children married and raised families
of their own. Over the passage of time, the ties to family back in
Pennsylvania became blurred and often forgotten. Such was the case
with Sarah Stambaugh Snyder. The information remembered about her
by later generations was confused and often misleading. This book
is an attempt to clarify the family ties and to show just where
Sarah belonged within the Stambaugh family tree. In addition, a
brief outline of her children and their marriages and descendants
has also been presented.

This volume contains those records of Liber A (seventeen pages) not
included in the above book, plus all of Liber B. These documents
seem to be concentrated for the following periods: 1693-1698
(twenty-three pages), 1783, 1788, 1792, and 1802-1805, plus a
scattering of entries of various dates. This is a hodge-podge of
records, obviously re-recorded in no real order. Many of the
documents of the latter periods are petitions, deeds, mortgages,
manumissions, agreements, bonds, and a few certificates attesting
to wounds received in the Revolution.
