Mary Jane Snyder
Confederate cavalry led by Col. John Imboden entered Pendleton County on August 17, 1862. On the 19th, Mary Jane Snyder, daughter of Union scout Capt. John Snyder, rode 25 miles through wilderness to warn Union Capt. William Hall, who was camped at the forks of Cheat River. Hall averted attack by moving his troops toward St. George and later to Rowlesburg.
