No. He was indeed from upstate NY, but died in the 70s or 80s of an accumulation of carcinogens from home-rolled cigarettes. --rwg
They were of course related: Your Sniffin, the great-grandson of Luther Bellows (b. 1792, Vermont) by way of his son Luther Jr. and grandson "Kelley"; my suggested Sniffin, the grandson of Luther by way of his son Merrick Willard.

Somewhere in there a Sniffin Kelly had a daughter named Sarah, who married Casper Bellows, and became "Sarah E. Kelly Bellows". One would think that Sniffin Kelly Bellows was a descendant of Casper and Sarah, but as far as I can tell they had only one child who died in infancy. Perhaps the Kellies and the Bellowses lived in proximity and intermarried over several generations? On Sun, Sep 11, 2016 at 9:04 AM, Hans Havermann <gladhobo@teksavvy.com> wrote:

It's understandable that Bill's Sniffin likely had a middle name Kelley (not Kelly as Bill had stated) because this Sniffin's father was Kelley S. Bellows, so spelled on his cemetery headstone. My proferred Sniffin was a Sniffin K. Bellows (1842-1928) and I may have thought the K was Kelly because of a user-submitted web genealogy so indicating, but I have found no independent documentation that it actually was! Casper D. (1853-1913) was Sniffin K.'s brother (Sniffin K. had a son, Casper Sniffin).

It is just a shame that in all this name-recycling mischegas, nobody thought to name their kid Casper Gosper. On Sun, Sep 11, 2016 at 6:07 PM, Hans Havermann <gladhobo@teksavvy.com> wrote:
