Reverend Joseph Perkins Sneed (January 10, 1804 – November 21, 1881) was an American preacher, farmer and educator. A minister of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, he established the first-ever Methodist church in Waco, Texas. Prior to and during the course of the American Civil War, he converted many slaves to the Methodist faith.

Early life

Joseph P. Sneed was born on January 10, 1804, in Davidson County, Tennessee, near Nashville.[1] His father was James Sneed and his mother, Behania Harden Perkins. One of his brothers built the Constantine Sneed House in Brentwood, Tennessee.[2]

Sneed was ordained as an elder of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South, by Bishop John Emory in 1833.[1]

Career

Sneed was a preacher of the Methodist Episcopal Church, South.[1] He preached sermons from a log cabin off the banks of the Brazos River in Waco, Texas in 1850.[3] His log cabin was the first Methodist church in Waco.[4]

Meanwhile, Sneed was also a farmer, first in Gay Hill, Washington County and later in Port Sullivan, Texas,[1] where he founded the Port Sullivan Male and Female Institute (also known as the Port Sullivan College).[5]

Prior to the American Civil War, from 1855 to 1861, Sneed helped convert African slaves to the Methodist faith at the Port Royal African Mission in Texas.[1] After taking a year off in 1861, he resumed his ministry with blacks during the course of the war, from 1862 to 1865.[1]

Personal life and death

Sneed married Achsah Bond Harris in 1842.[1] They had three children.[1]

Sneed died on November 21, 1881, in Milam County, Texas.[1]
