  1. 1.  Nancy Matilda Hembree was born on 3 May 1837 in Springfield, Greene County, Missouri; died on 25 Apr 1922 in Tacoma, Pierce County, Washington; was buried in Tacoma Cemetery, Tacoma, Pierce County, Washington.

    Notes:

    Nancy Matilda Hembree married Harmon Hartman Snow on October 6, 1853 in Lafayette Oregon. Harmon was a dry goods merchant in Lafayette.

    Nancy & Harmon Snow had ten children. Only five of them were known to grown to maturity. The family moved to Renton, Washington in 1877

    Harmon H. Snow was one of Renton Washington's first dry goods merchants and established what has been recorded as one of the first mercantile stores in Renton Washington. Harmon died in 1886 and in 1891 Nancy was united in marriage to Samuel J. Bogart the Town Marshall. They later moved to Tacoma Washington.

    Nancy was a member of the Pioneer Society. She was a well known writer and contributed to many interesting articles in local newspapers and magazines of early reminiscences of pioneer days.

    In " Reminiscences of a Journey Across the Plains in 1843" she wrote about her travel from Missouri to Oregon. She came West on her sixth birthday, joining the first major wave of Oregon Trial pioneers in 1843.

    She wrote, As she grew up, she observed that "there was not only rush for land but also for a wife. It was not a uncommon thing to see girls of thirteen or fourteen married to old men old enough to be there fathers" not to be taken to soon Nancy rebuffed several suitors until 1853, at the tender age of sixteen she married twenty-five year old Harmon Snow.

    Information about Nancy's family is from the family file of Betty H. Reed dated Nov 2006 and posted at Ancestry.com. Betty cites a non-published book by Mabel Harvey Thornton as the source.

    Daughter of Absalom Jefferson and Nancy (Dodson) Hembree and according to the source cited above was born on the trip from TN or OR. Census records give her birthplace as MO. She married 2nd to S.J. Bogart. The 1900 census of Renton, King WA lists Samuel J. and Nancy M. Bogart. Samuel age 61, born May 1839 NJ, Nancy age 58, born May 1842 OH - parents from ENG and IRL. Samuel and Nancy married for nine years, so married about 1891. If that is this Nancy the age and birthplace information about her is incorrect. However it does list her as having been the mother of ten children, only three still living in 1900 - which does appear correct. In 1910 Nancy Bogart, widow, age 73 (born abt. 1837) MO, parents from TN, is listed at Tacoma, Pierce WA.

    Nancy married Harmon Hartman Snow on 6 Oct 1853 in Layfayette, Yamhill County, Oregon. Harmon (son of Pliny H. Snow and Eva Elizabeth Hartman) was born on 22 Feb 1828 in Seneca County, Ohio; died on 20 Apr 1886 in Renton, King County, Washington; was buried in Lake View Cemetery, Seattle, King County, Washington.
