He was united in marriage with Mary Hill in his 30th year and to this union were born 9 children, 5 have predeceded the father to the Spirit World. He united with the Soul Sleeper church in early life and has lived a consistent Christian ever si nce that time. His Bible was his constant compan ion and his study. Forty seven Years ago, he with his family moved to Indiana, where as one of the early pioneers he endured many privations and hardships. Indeed, privations seemed to be his lot all down his long like, but a trust in his Master made his burden li ght; none lived nearer to the cross than Grandpa Snyder. His lot was a poorly one and all his life he destined to hard labor with which to earn his bread, and even received his death blow from a limb or tree a week before he died while in the ta marack swamp clearing away the brush. He leaves an aged companion, 3 daughters and 1 son to mourn their loss which is his eternal gain. The funeral occurred from the Christian church last Monday afternoon conducted by Rev. Fuller and the body laid away in the Odd Fellows cemetery. EXCERPT OF LETTER TO ANDREW L.

| 831 | MARY MEAD, m. (1) Moses Rhodes, who died in 1769; m. (2) on the 8 Feb. 1775, John Brown at Fairfax Monthly Meeting of Quakers as shown on list of marriages copied from their records and filed in Loudoun County Clerk's Office. The will of Moses R hodes, dated July, 1769, probated the 13 Nov. 1769, and recorded in Loudoun County, Va., is as follows: "IN THE NAME OF GOD AMEN. The ? Day of July One Thousand Seven hundred and Sixty nine I Moses Rhodes of the County of Loudoun and Colony of Virginia being very sick and weak in Body but of perfect Mind and Memory thanks be given to God : Therefo re calling unto Mind the Mortality of my Body and knowing that it is appointed for all Men once to Die Do make and ordain this my last Will and Testament viz Principally and first of all I give and recommend my Soul into the Hands of Almighty God that gave it and my Body I recommend to the Earth to be decently buried not doubting but at the general Resurrection I shall Receive the same again by the m ighty power of God. 1st. As the Real Estate in Land which I now Possess is Will'd to Mary my dearly Beloved Wife by her Father during the Term of her Natural Life and after her Decease to the Heirs of her Body Lawful), Begotten, I do therefore by and with her conse nt give and Bequeath the said Estate in Land to my two Sons William and John after my Wife's Decease to be equally Divided between them And if either of them Die with-out Lawful Heirs then the share of Land belonging to the Deceased to fall to o r belong to the Survivor. 2d. My two Sons William and John aforementioned shall each of them pay Thirty Pound Currant Money of this Colony viz My Son William shall pay to my son Thomas Thirty pound and my son John shall pay to my Son Joseph Thirty pound of like Currant M oney as aforesaid as soon as they shall Possess their aforesaid Shares of Land. 3d. My five Daughters viz: Hannah, Mary, Abigail, Elizabeth and Ann shall have paid to each of them when of age out of my Whole Estate five Pound Currant Money of this Colony. 4th. I constitute make and Ordain Mary my Beloved Wife Sole Executrix of this my last Will and Testament and I do hereby utterly disallow revoke and disannull all and every other former Testaments, Wills, Legacies, Bequests, and Executors, by m e in any ways beforenamed Will'd and Bequeathed, Ratifying and Confirming this and no other to be my last Will and Testament. IN WITNESS whereof I have hereunto set my Hand and Seal the Day and Year above Written. MOSES RHODES (Seal) Signed Sealed Published pronounced and declared by the said Moses Rhodes as his last Will and Testament in the presence of us the sub-scribers WM. BAKER." The foregoing will was proved by the "Affirmation of William Baker (a Quaker)"; and Mary Rhodes qualified as executrix with William Mead as her surety. From the foregoing will it appears that William Mead, the father of Mary Rhodes, had a will in 1769 by which he had bequeathed certain land to his daughter, Mary Rhodes, for her life with remainder to the heirs of her body lawfully begotten ; bu t he revoked this bequest by a later will, which is copied in his sketch, and changed it so as to read as follows: "I give and bequeath unto my daughter, Mary Brown, that tract of land whereon Moses Rhodes died, which was surveyed for him by Joh n Hough, containing two hundred acres, adjoining the Kittocton mountains?to hold to her the said Mary during her natural life, & after her decease?unto her two sons, William & Thomas Rhodes?they paying their brother Joseph ten pounds each." Th e occasion of this change may have been the subsequent marriage of Mary Rhodes and John Brown ; and John Rhodes, her son, had probably died intestate and with-out issue before the last will was made in 1780. Their mother had probably died before 1787 for, in that year, Thomas Rhodes conveyed his interest in the Mead farm to his brother, William Rhodes, the deed reciting that the two brothers then lived in Ohio?Thomas in Hamilton County, and Willia m in Columbiana County. William doubtless re-turned to Virginia, and settled in Bedford County, where both he and his brother Joseph, on the 3 Nov. 1806, witnessed the will of their uncle, William Mead No. 7. The third item of the will of Moses Rhodes would seem to indicate that none of his five daughters were of age in 1769. As Hannah heads the list she must have been the oldest daughter, and she may have been the oldest of the nine children mention ed in the will, but there is nothing to indicate that her brothers were younger than she. Assuming that the youngest of the nine children was two years old in 1769 ,and allowing two years between each child, it may be assumed approximately tha t Mary Mead and Moses Rhodes were married at a date between 1740 and 1750. If, therefore, their daughter Hannah were the oldest of the five daughters, she was probably older than some of her four brothers, and was likely eighteen years of age wh en her father died in 1769, so that her birth would have occurred not far from 1750. For reasons stated in the sketch of Robert Mead, No. 6, who was born between 1744 and 1754, it is firmly believed that he married Hannah Rhodes about the year 1 770.

| 833 | Maryland Historical Society: Records of St Stephens P.E. Church, Cecil County, Maryland for 1687 to 1837. Volume 1 page 37 Grantee of land given: Lancaster, Pennsylvania dated March 15, 1750 William Hatry - 25 acres Henry Hatry- 50 acres The Hattery Family By Stella F. Strausbaugh 1961 Our earliest contact with the Hattery family is found in Cecil County, Maryland, a place called Earlville. In the records of St. Stephens Protestant Episcopal Church in Earlville are the following birth records. In volume 1, page 37-James Hatrey, son of Henry Hatrey (4-1) and Christian his wife, born 16 December 1709. In volume 1, Page 37 - Mary Hattery (5-2) daughter of Thomas Hattery (4-2) and Sarah, his wife, born 10 December 1714. It is quite logical to assume that Henry Hatrey (4-1) and Thomas Hattery (4-2) were brothers. You will note the difference in spelling. It was copied as found but even in the same document will be found several spelling variations. In later generations it has become Hattery but pronounced as if spelled "Hatry"in Pennsylvania Archives 3rd Series, volume 24, page 435 under Warrentees of Land, Lancaster County 1733-1896 we find: William Hatry 24 acres 15 March 1750 Henry Hatry 50 acres 15 March 1750 This Henry Hatry could be Henry (4-1) mentioned in St. Stephens records and William Hairy could be another brother or their could be no connection. Neither would be young. Land records in Maryland were searched but no further mention of either Henry (4-1) or Thomas (4-2) was found. James (5-1) the son of Henry (4-1) is recorded as still in Cecil County when his will was filed. It can be found in Liber 30, Folio 336 in Annapolis HaIl of Records and reads as follows: In the name of God Amen, this sixth day of May 1757, I, James Hatry (5-1) of Cecil County and Province of Maryland being very sick and weak in the body but of sound mind and memory, thanks be to God for the same, I do therefore make and ordain this my last will and Testament in manner and form following. First I give and recommend my soul to God that gave it me and my body to be decently buried at the discretion of my Executrix. As to my worldly goods I give and dispose as follows: Imprimis, I give and bequeath unto my daughter, Susannah (6-3) the sum of twenty shillings current money and no more. I likewise give and bequeath to my daughter Mary (6-4), the sum of twenty shilling current money and no more.

Signed his James Hattry Witnessed by Alexander Armstrong . mark William Cambell Edw Rumsey How many of the family, after the death of James Hattry, moved across the water into the state of Delaware is not known. Records of Joseph, Thomas and Susannah were found in New Castle County, Delaware and it seems reasonable to think that they probably moved as a family. The Delaware Archives page 313 lists Thomas Hatrey as discharged from Capt. Enoch Anderson's Company in the Delaware Regiment on 10 February 1777. On page 553 Thomas Hatrey is in a list of soldiers recruited by Enoch Anderson, Captn. On page 998 we learn that Thomas Hattrey signed the Oath of Allegiance on 17 August 1778. The New Castle County, Delaware Probate records show that Letters of Administration on the estate of Susannah Hattery (6-3) were granted to Eons Howell on 25 January 1815. The estate was settled 7 March 1816. In the records of Immanuel Episcopal Church in New Castle, Delaware, recorded the marriage of Joseph Hattery (6-1) and Hester January 1764. In the same records is recorded the birth of son, James (7-1), to Joseph and Hester (Dushane) Hattery on 14 November 1765. In the will of Rachel (----) (Dushane) Cazier in New Castle County Will book L - 1 - 146 probated 23 March 1779 we read: (The will is undated) Being sick and weak in body but of sound and perfect mind and memory she disposes of her worldly estate as follows: To son Andrew Dushane L 150 To daughter Hester Hattry L 100 To daughter Rachel McCantire L 150 To daughter Lydia Eliason L 50, and L 150 to be paid to her children when they arrive of age to receive it and meanwhile the interest to go to their support. To my daughter Susannah Cazier - - - - L 150 I give and bequeath the residue and remainder of my estate to Joseph Hattery's (6-1) children namely James (7-1), Andrew (7-2), Thomas (7-3), Lydia (7-4), and Rachel (7-5) to be equally divided among them and to be paid as they arrive of age to receive it and the interest to go yearly to their support. Jacob Cazier sole executor. Administration "memo" - Rachel Cazier, widow late of Pencader Hundred. The 1790 Census of Bedford County, Pennsylvania shows Joseph Hatrey (6-1) with three males over sixteen, three males under sixteen and two females. It appears that either Hester has died or perhaps one daughter has married but we have little chance of learning her name. The 1800 census of Somerset County, Penn. shows Joseph Hattery (6-1) with one male sixteen to twentysix and one male fortyfive and lip. Probably himself and son Thomas (7-3). Hester must be dead. Somerset was made from part of Bedford County in 1795 and it is quite likely that Joseph (6-1) was in the Somerset section in 1790. The 1800 census of Somerset County also lists James Hattery (7-1) with three males to ten years, one male twentysix to fortyfive (we know James was born 1765 so he would be thirty-five years), one female twentysix to fortyfive (his wife Margaret). And Andrew Hattery (7-2) with one male to ten years, one male twentysix to fortyfive, two females sixteen to twentysix and one female fortyfive and up (probably one female is a hired helper). The 1810 census of Somerset County lists James Hattery (7-1) with one male to ten years, four males ten to sixteen, one male twentysix to fortyfive (he would be just fortyfive), two females to ten and one female twentysix to fortyfive. The 1810 census lists Andrew Hattery (7-2) with four males to ten years, one male ten to sixteen, one male twentysix to fortyfive, one female to ten and one female twentysix to fortyfive. The 1810 census lists Thomas Hattery (7-3) with one male twentysix to fortyfive and one female twentysix to fortyfive. It appears that Thomas got married and Joseph probably died as he is not listed. In 1816 Andrew Hattery and his wife Rachel (Smith) Hattery sold a farm and probably moved to Brooke County, Virginia as our next record of them is there. On 11 May 1818, James Hattery (7-1) and Margaret Hattery his wife then living in Tuscarawas County, Ohio, sold a farm in Somerset County to Joseph Hancock of the said Somerset County. No Hatterys were found in the 1820 census of Somerset County, Penn. James Hattery (7-1) married Margaret Hunter in 1793. They migrated to Tuscarawas County, Ohio, in 1814. They came in a covered wagon and settled on a farm near Sugar Creek, Ohio. They lived there until they died and were buried in a family plot on the farm. Their children were: 8-1 - Charles Hattery born 15 September 1794 8-2 - Andrew Hattery born 25 September 1796 8-3 -Joseph Hattery born 4 August 1798 8-4 -Alexander Hattery born 30 December 1800 8-5 -Margaret (Peggy) Hattery born 1 December 1802 8-6 -Abel Hattery born 10 October 1804 8-7 -Thomas Hattery born 16 September 1806 8-8 -Mary Hattery born 17 July 1808 8-9 -James Hattery born 6 March 1811 8-10 -Ephraim Hattery born 13 January 1814 Andrew Hattery (7-2) married Rachel Smith probably in Somerset County. At least he lived there after he married and it is likely that he married a local girl. In a History of Northwest Ohio found by Millicent Skaggs in the Mesa, Arizona, Genealogical Library is the following data: lie lived in Brooke County, Virginia and the names of two sons, Josiah and Nathaniel. Later we turned up additional data on Andrew (7-2). Five males beside himself were listed in Andrew's family in the 1810 census of Somerset County, Penn. He probably moved to Brooke County after selling his farm. in Somerset in 1816. The children of Andrew and Rachel were: 8-11 - James Hattery 8-12 - Eaton Hattery 8-13 - John Hattery 8-14 - Joseph Hattery 8-15 - Andrew Hattery 8-16 - Thomas Hattery 8-17 - Edward Hattery 8-18 - Josiah Hattery born 1821 in Va. He died 27 Jan. 1880. (son of 8-2) 8-19 - Lydia Hattery (you will remember Andrew (7-2) had a sister Lydia) 8-20 - Rachel Hattery (and also a sister Rachel) 8-21 - Nathaniel Hattery Sr., born 1822 in Brooke County, Va. Nathaniel died 12 March 1882. No trace of Thomas (7-3) Hattery the youngest son of Joseph (6-1) except the Somerset census of 1810, although we have a dozen unplaced descendants of some Hattery. One claims to be born in Virginia and descended from a Thomas Hattery. Andrew Hattery (8-2) the second child of James (7-1) and Margaret (Hunter) Hattery was born 25 September 1796, while the family still lived in Somerset County, Penn. He was nearly eighteen years of age when the family moved to Tuscarawas County, Ohio. James (7-1) gave part of his land to Ephraim (8-10) hut kept the homestead which eventually became Andrew's (8-2). On 25 November 1832, Andrew married Mary Anti Knisely, born 21 February 1808 to John Knisely, Jr. and his wife Mary (Wolfe) Knisely. Mary Ann died 21 February 1845 and was buried in the family plot. Andrew died 31 March 1879. He was Justice of the Peace for many years. Andrew was a medium tall, slender man with red hair and wore a flowing beard. He was a highly respected man in the community.. Andrew and Mary Ann had the following children: 9-1 - Eunice Hattery born 2 March 1833 at 3 PM in the sign of the scorpion 9-2 - Esais Hattery born 23 February 1835 at 55 mm. AM in the sign of the goat 9-3 - Rufus Hattery born 11 November 1836 at half past: 5 o'clock AM 9-4 - Jonas Hattery born 21 March 1839 at half past 5 o'clock AM 9-5 --Emetine Hattery born 28 March 1841 at half past 9 o'clock AM 9-6 - Zairian Hattery born 24 March 1842 at half past 6 o'clock in the sign of the goat 9-7 - A son dead born 20 February 1845 at 11 AM The above birth records were found in Andrew's handwriting, the last entry read "Mary Ann K. 1-lattery died February .1st A.D. 1845 at 5 o'clock aged thirty-seven years. Both Andrew (8-2) and Mary Ann were buried in the family plot on the farm along with other relatives. In early 1949 before the farm went out of the family the remains of all buried there were removed to Union 1-lill Cemetery. Among them was Mary Jane Miserly, eldest child of Christian and Eunice (9-1) Miserly. She was a young woman of twentyone who had gone in 1878 to visit her grandfather and died while there. It is believed that John Knisely Jar, father of Mary Ann was buried there. The will of Andrew Hattery (8-2) is in Administration hook 6, page 29 in Tuscarawas County Courthouse at New Philadelphia. It was admitted to Probate 10 April 1879 and Letters of Administration given to Azariah Hattery with Esais, Rufus and Emeline as sureties; bond was set at $6000.00. The executors were dismissed 5 April 1884. Joseph Hattery (8-3) the third child of James and Margaret (Hunter) Hattery was born 4 August 1798 in Somerset County, Penn. He died 1846. The name of his wife is not know. Their children were: 9-8 - Phoebe Hattery born 1.834. 9-9 - Ephrairm Hattery born 1836. 9-10.- Rachel Hattery born 1837. 9-11 - Andrew Hattery born 9-12 - Folly Hattery born The data on Joseph Hattery (8-3) is pieced, together from estate and census records. In the Courthouse at New Philadelphia, Ohio in Will Book transcribed 1,2,3, page 288: Ephriam Hattery (8-10) was appointed Guardian in the estate of Joseph Hattery (Case #400 A dated October 1846) of Ephriam, Rachel, Andrew, Folly and Phoebe. On page 205 in the 1850 census of York Twp., Tuscarawas County, Ohio, Phoebe is sixteen years old, born in Ohio and living with Jacob (32 years) and Barbara (32 years) Weldy (born in Ohio and Penn). On page 417 of same book is Rachel Hattery aged thirteen, born in Ohio, living in Sugar Creek Twp., with Benjamin (28 years) and Martha (24 Years) Hochstetter, both born in Ohio. On page 429 in the same book is Ephriam Hattery aged thirteen, birthplace unknown, living in Sugar Creek Twp., with Jacob (30 years) and Mary (26 years) Shonk, born in Ohio and Penn. Thomas Hattery (8--7) is the seventh child of James (7-1) and Margaret (Hunter) Hattery. He was born 16 September 1806 in Somerset County, Penn. Thomas married Barbara - - - -; and died between 1847-50. Their children were: 9-13 - Amos Hattery born 1835 9-14 - Sophia Hattery born 1836, married Frank Gardner. 9-15 - Elizabeth Hattery born 1837, married Jacob Weiss. 9-16 - Allen Hattery born 1838 9-17 - Alfred Hattery born 1840 9-18 - Aaron Hattery born 1842 9-19 - Ananias Hattery born 22 March 1847 9-20 - Abel Hattery - may have been born between 1842 and 1847, his record is very vague. In the courthouse at: New Philadelphia, Ohio, we found on Appearance Docket No. 1, page 22, the case of Andrew Hattery (8-2) Guardian vs. Barbara Hattery now married to Henry Critzinger of said county. The text of the case said that Thomas Hattery died intestate leaving surviving "Barbara Hattery now married to Henry Critzinger and the children Amos, Sophia, Elizabeth Allen, Alfred, Aaron, Ananias and Abel." The 1850 census of Sugar Creek Twp., Tuscarawas County, Ohio, on page 422 lists Barbara as 30 years of age and born in Penn. and John Crit2inger as 25 years of age and born in Germany. All the children except Abel are listed in the household of Barbara. Mary Hattery (8-8) the eighth child of James (7-1) and Margaret (Hunter) Hattery was born 17 July 1808 in Somerset County, Penn.

Certificate 18953 and 18952 __________ "Each year there are new members of the family present as always, some have gone to their final resting place. This brief history is written as a tribute to the memory of Adam and Ann Snyder, the founders of the Snyder Family in Marshall County, Indiana by A W O'Keefe" Snyder Family March 31, 1936 One of the first pioneer families to locate in Marshall County was that of Adam Snyder, who with his wife, Ann Sparks Snyder and their nine children came to what is now Marshall County, in April 1834, two Years before the county was organized. Adam Snyder, the son of Adam Snyder, was a native of Maryland, having been born near Fredericksburg March 2nd 1795. At the early age of seventeen he became a soldier in the War of 1812, and was one of three thousand soldiers under General Harrison who fought the decisive Battle of the Thames, in Canada. It was at this battle that the famous Indian Chief Tecum seh was killed. Years later when questioned about the battle, Adam would make the remark "I saw Tecumseh fall, but I don 't want to talk any more about it." The rifle and powder horn that Adam Snyder carried in the War of 1812 is a cherished heirloom of the Snyder family. handwritten note (In possession at Timothy L. Okeete, Mishawaka, In (1984) M. Durman. One of Adam Snyder's comrades and a close friend, was a young man named Sparks, who after they were mustered out of service, prevailed upon Adam to make a visit to the Sparks home near Prountytown Va. During this visit Adam became acquainted with Ann Sparks to whom he was married on April 27, 1817. Ann Sparks Snyder was born January 10th, 1800.Therefore the young couple were respectively twenty two, and seventeen Years of age at the time of their marriage. Immediately after the wedding ceremony, Adam with others, built and launched a "flat boat" on the headwaters of the Monongahela River in Virginia. Embarking their respective families and earthly possessions, they proceeded down the river on thei r perilous journey west, past Pittsburgh, then a village, into the Ohio River. Their landing was at a point on the North shore of the river in Ohio. From here they proceeded overland to Hardin County, Ohio, where the father of Adam had previously taken a homestead near Roundhead. Near the father's homestead the young couple lived for seventeen Years, during which time nine children had com e to bless their union. Early in the year 1834 the urge had come again to move westward. With the courage of the early pioneers Adam, his wife and children, set out again in two covered wagons bound for what was called the rich Illinois land country. After a six week s journey from Roundhead, during which they sometimes had to stop to cut a way through the forest, they arrived at a point four miles north of Plymouth, where is now located the Fairmount Church. Beside their live stock, wagons and household goods, their wealth was all in schillings, of which they had "two peck measures full." Father and sons would alternate at night in standing guard to protect this treasure from roving robbers, and hos tile Indiana. It was in Marshall County that the destiny of the Snyder family was changed, for Adam was prevailed upon to buy land in Marshall County and make this his permanent home. The land could be bought for $1.25 an acre and Adam bought nearly 400 acres . Also it was pointed out that work could be had in the construction of the Michigan Road. Part of this homestead is still owned by some of the grandchildren and great grandchildren, but the log home in which the family first lived, is long since gone. Shortly after making their camp at Fairmount another and younger pioneer family joined them. A child of the latter family, whose names are unknown, became sick and died. Adam Snyder together with his son John went into the woods and cut a popla r tree from which was hewed a coffin. After a short service the child was buried on the hill where now is Fairmount. This was the first burial and Farimount is now believed to be the oldest cemetery in the county. Adam Snyder was one of those who helped organize the county in 1836. He was the first Judge of the election held in North Township on August 5th, 1836. When the Snyder family first came to Marshall County there were neighter bridges nor fences a nd livestock was allowed to run wild in the woods. There were many Indians, although most of them were friendly. Personally, Adam Snyder was a tall, quiet man, and as one of his children had described him, was "as straight and quick as an Indian and as good a hunter". Although devoting most of his time to farming he was said to be fond of taking his rifl e and spending hours alone in the woods. He was naturally reserved, but friendly in character and his decendants are proud to know that he was regarded as a trustworthy and honest man. To the Union of Adam Snyder and Ann Sparks the following thirteen children were born all of whom lived to a useful adult life. Soloman Snyder Born March 24, 1818 Died Feb 20, 1892 Simon Snyder Born Oct 19, 1819 Died Aug 18, 1878 John Snyder Born Oct 25, 1821 Died Mar 7, 1865 James Snyder Born Oct 1, 1823 Died May 19, 1877 Julia Ann SnyderBorn July 31, 1825 Died Nov 4, 1916 Lucinda Snyder Born Nov 24 1827 Died April 27, 1864 Elizabeth SnyderBorn Feb 22, 1830 Died Sept 7, 1863 Mary Jane SnyderBorn Dec 29, 1832 Died Apr 2, 1886 Delilah SnyderBorn Feb 9, 1834 Died Mar 3, 1916 Isabella Emily Snyder Born Aug 26, 1836 Died May 7, 1907 David Snyder Born Jan 22. 1839 Died July 16, 1892 Amanda Magdalene Snyder Born Dec 5, 1841Died Feb 22, 1879 George Washington Snyder Born Nov 30, 1846 Died Oct 13, 1922 The last four were born in Marshall County. In addition to these thirteen children, are many descendants. Grandchildren, great and great great grandchildren, many of whom still live in Marsall County. Adam Snyder died May 18, 1847. Ann Sparks Snyder died Jan 27th, 1873. They are both buried at Fairmount in Marshall County. There is on record at the County Recorder's office a genealgoical chart of the Snyder family the first of its kind to be recorded in the County. Since this chart was recorded many changes and additions have been made, so that today the decendant s of Adam and Ann Snyder number into the Hundreds, many of whom have held positions of trust and honor in various branches of our State and County Government. The Snyder family holds a reunion each year, usually, in Marshall County. __________ History of Marshall County Indiana Sesquicentennial 1836 ? 1986 Page 401 Written by Bess Snyder Cullison One of the first pioneer families to locate in North Township was that of Adam Snyder, who with his wife, Ann Sparks Snyder, and their nine children came to what is now Marshall County, in 1834, two years before the county was organized. Adam Snyder, whose father was born in Germany, was a native of Maryland. He was a soldier in the war of 1812. He met his wife, Ann Sparks, during a visit to one of his army comrades and good friend, "Sparks." Adam and his bride built and launched a flat boat, loaded with all their possessions, on the Monongahela River in Virginia. They landed at a point in Ohio and proceeded overland to Hardin County, Ohio, where they lived 17 years. Early in1834, they, Adam, his wife, and 9 children; again moved westward in two covered wagons. They arrived at a point four miles north of Plymouth, what was later known as Fairmount. Adam decided to make this his permenant home and purchased 4 00 acres of land, which was selling for $1.25 per acre. Four more children were born to this union. Simon, second son of Adam and Ann, was born in Hardin County, Ohio in 1819. He was married to Anne E. Kipler. Nine children were born to Simon and Anne. Only four reached maturity. Perry Snyder, their youngest son, was born in 1870. His mother died when he was two years old, and his father died when he was eight. He stayed with whomever would take him in, helping with chores or anything a child can do, to pay for room an d board. He married Cora Dell Spaid in 1891, and to this union were born 11 children. Four members of this family still reside in North Township: Cletys Snyder Yocum, Orval, Howard and Bess Snyder Cullison. Howard still lives on the old home pla ce, which has been in the family possession for 80 years. This family history, published 12 years ago when LaPaz celebrated it's 100th anniversary, has many changes. Howard sold the old house and several acres to his grand-nephew, John Sullivan, who intended remodeling but found the structure so deteriorated he decided to wreck it and rebuild. The new house is a replica of the old home, only larger. Built o n the same location, full two-story, baths up and down, an open stairway to second story and very comfortable. Our father's burthday was February 28 and as many as could went home to he lp him celebrate his birthday. Thanksgiving Day was a day to celebrate too, by all of us going out to the farm. We still do, even to the point of some going rabbit hunting. Lulu and howard lived with our father after our mother was gone. Now Howard and Minnie are gone, Ora lives in Plymouth; Rolland in Monticello; Cletys at Lake-of-the-woods; Orval and Bessie in LaPaz. Bess Snyder Cullison | Snyder, Adam D. (I3792)

He was born in the town of Eagle, this county, Mar. 24, 1859, an d is a son of George and Sarah Ann (Myers) Kite, the former of whom was born in Champaign county, O., in 1822, and the latter in Marion county, Ind., in 1829. Their marriage was celebrated in the latter county, in 1848, and they continued to reside in the Hoosier State until 1857, when they came to Wisconsin and settled in Eagle township, Richland county, where the father bought eighty acres of wild land, to which he subsequently added forty acres, here developing a good farm and remai ning on the old homestead until his death, in October, 1822. He wife is still living on the old homestead. Of their nine children five are living. He was a Republican in politics and was a member of the town board for a number of years, having s erved as chairman of the same for several terms. He and his wife were devoted members of United Brethren church, in which he was ordained a minister when but twenty years of age. He made farming his vocation but exercised his clerical functions , having been one of the pioneer clergymen of his church in the county. He was a son of Michael and Catherine (Tofflemeier) Kite, the former of whom was born in Virginia, and the later in Ohio. She died near Terre Haute, Ind., having been commun icant of the Catholic church. Michael Kite came to Richland county about 1853, settling in Eagle township, where he passed the residue of his life, having been eighty ears of age at the time of his death. The maternal grandparents of the subjec t of this review were William and Massie (Conner) Myers, the former of whom was born in Virginia and the later in Indiana. George Kite, the immediate subject of this sketch, was reared on the home farm of his parents and is indebted to the distr ict schools for his early educational discipline. He is now the owner of a well improved farm of eighty acres, and devotes his attention to general agriculture and stock-raising. He maintains a liberal and public-spirited attitude as a citizen a nd his political support is given to the Republican party. In June, 1885, Mr. Kite was united in marriage to Miss Effie Hofius, a daughter of James W. Hofius, of whom individual mention is made in these columns. They became the parents of seve n children: Andrew and Grace died in childhood and the third child died in infancy. Flossie was the next in order of birth; Carrie is deceased, and the two youngest children are Tressie and Ruth.

| 843 | Mom states that she's only been 'really mad' at someone twice in her life. The first time was when she got into an argument with her then mother-in-law, Ruth (Smith) Cartwright when Ruth blamed Vicky for something Norma Jean "Tootsie" had done . "Tootsie" was a brat and Mom knew for a fact that Tootsie had caused the trouble and was Really mad when Ruth blamed Vicky. The second time was when she got into an argument with her next door neighbor - Carol Smith when we were living on Ch ippewa Street. Carol had a son who was the terror of the neighborhood. Carol was the type who believed her son could do no wrong yet so disliked Kenny and Kirk that they weren't even allowed in her yard. One day Carol got mad at Kenny and Kir k and started cussing them out. When Mom heard Carol, she came flying out of the house and confronted Carol; yelling at Carol at the top of her lungs for daring to get after Kenny and Kirk for Anything when her own son was such a terror. Mom s tates that she caused quite a scene. Mom was otherwise a very calm, quiet person who so minded her own business that she didn't even know the names of most of her neighbors much less socialize with them or get into conflicts with them. | Comstock, Charlotte Marie (I5285)

| 845 | Most of this came from a descendancy chart "Descendants of Adam Schneider" sent to me by Bill Snyder, who visited Gerhardsbrunn in the year 2000: Adam was born in the village of Gerhardsbrunn, Germany which is south of Landstuhl, northeast of Zweibrucken, lying between the Rhine River on the east and the Saar River on the west, less than twenty miles from the French border. It is situated on a hill with the surrounding area being flat land; the main occupation is farming. The village has shown evidence of Roman occupation and also suffered greatly during the Thirty Year War. The area has at times been part of France. The houses in the eighteenth century were given letters of the alphabet instead of numbers, such as House "S" or House "MF". In Gerhardsbrunn, no other families could buy into the village, but the original settlers. Land was passed down through families or "houses". The original House "S" or Schneider house was replaced in the early eighteen hundreds on part of the original foundation, which had been built about 1726. Lambsborn, Langwieden and other villages to be mentioned are but a short distance from Gerhardsbrunn. The Labach Church, where many of our ancestors worshipped and were buried, is about two miles from Gerhardsbrunn at the bottom of the hill. The church was built in the fourteenth century, being both Catholic and Protestant, changing as the rulers or conquerers decided; the church is at present Catholic. The cemetery has been re-used as the scarcity of land dictates, so evidence of our ancestors has since vanished. There is a Protestant Church in Gerhardsbrunn built in 1825; the Schneiders were of the Lutheran faith upon coming to America. The village of Gerhardsbrunn lost numerous sons and daughters to emigration and many found their way to Somerset county, Philadelphia -- or passed through the area -- a few being Adam and Michael Mueller (Miller) of the house "D" and Adam, Henry and Jacob Schneider of house "S". Hearing wonderful tales of the new country across the sea, Adam Schneider (age 26) came to America from Germany and landed in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania on September 17, 1773 on the ship "Britannia". (Source: "Pennsylvania German Pioneers" volume 1, 1727 - 1775, by Ralph Beaver Strassburger, LL.D. Published by Pennsylvania German Society, Norristown, Pennsylvania: 1934; pages 749-451. Also in "Names of German, Swiss and other Immigrants -- 1773, pg 408-409. Also recorded in the Family Bible belonging to Adam Schneider "the 17th September are I in Philadelphia arrived in America" Also recorded in "A Historical History of Washington County, Maryland" by Thomas J.C. Williams, 1968). Adam then went to Hagerstown, Maryland where he married Catherine Butmanin (Putman). It is believed that Adam knew Catherine in the old country of Germany--she being his great attraction for America. Catherine had come to America with her father's family (Andrew and Catherine Putman of Eakle's Mills, Maryland) some years before Adam migrated. Adam and Catherine were married on November 1, 1775, according to records of the Frederick county Evangelical Lutheran Church of Middletown, Maryland. They first lived with Catherine's parents at Eakle's Mills, and had a son born there. Then they moved to Baltimore, Maryland where Adam worked as a tailor for three years. When Catherine's father died in 1780, they returned to Pennsylvania and managed the Putman Homestead. Adam Schneider served in the Revolutionary War, as a private in the 2nd Battalion of the Washington County, Maryland militia. He is listed in the 8th Class of Captain Conrad Nichodemus' 6th Company (Washington county militia). In the 7th Class was his future brother-in-law, Henry Baker. The regiment was composed of four companies from Pennsylvania and four from Maryland. The 8th class in the 6th company was called upon for duty on the 14th of March 1781. Source: Sharon Kelso's DAR application, which references "Pennsylvania Archives, 5th series, Vol. 6, pages 229-233, edited by Thomas Lynch Montgomery under the direction of the Honorable Frank M. Fuller, Secretary of the Commonwealth, Harrisburg, PA 1906." Also, Clements, "MD Militia in Revolutionary War", page 237 and DAR, unpublished, "Revolutionary Records of Maryland" Vol. 3, page 48. Also see DAR applications #88865 and #97334; these state that Adam served as a private in Capt. Jacob Bruner's Company, Pennsylvania line (there may be a conflict in records here). There is a record at Washington Pension Bureau (file #S40477) of Adam Schneider applying for Revolutionary War pension. He received a pension from 1820 to 1825. In 1783 the Putman heirs sold the homestead to Christian Weyandt who had married Catherine's sister, Amelia Putman. After selling his share of the farm, Adam returned to Germany with fine accounts of the new country and induced his brothers Henry, age 21, and Jacob, age 15, to return with him to America, they arrived sometime in 1784. It is not known what influenced Adam to leave the fertile valley of Washington county, Maryland for the rugged plateau of Somerset county, Pennsylvania to make a permanent home, but it may have been through the influence of Magdalena Butman Bruner, Catherine's sister, who married Henry Bruner, the second son of Ulrich (Woolrich) Bruner. They were living in Bedford county, Pennsylvania. Adam must not only have been a brave and daring soul, but somewhat of a wanderlust. He again made another big move on September 24, 1787, buying 200 acres from Ulrich (Woolrick) Bruner (Adam's brother-in-law's father), which Bruner had previously bought from Harmon Husband. This is at present the square just north of the Somerset Court House (bordered by N. Center, East Catherine, North Kimberly and East Fairview streets). Ulrich Bruner was the first who laid out lots for the town of Somerset, Pennsylvania and he employed Harmon Husband as surveyor. Bruner also erected a cabin there for his family, several years prior to Adam buying the site in 1787. Adam's house stood in the center of this large lot. On the northwest corner stood a large barn and picturesque watering trough. The said Bruner had originally plotted out the land as Milford Town but it was known to the locals as Brunerstown; it was later changed to Somerset. The land sale agreement between Adam Schneider and Ulrich (Woolrick) Bruner can be found in "The History of Somerset, Bedford and Fulton Counties" by Waterman, Watkins and Company. For the 200 plus acres, Adam paid Ulrich (or Woolrick) the sum of one hundred pounds plus Adam's house and lot in Baltimore, Maryland, which was located on Howard Street. Adam made a second journey back to his hometown of Gerhardsbrunn, Germany at the time of his father's death, presumably to help settle the family estate. The old Schneider estate in Germany must have been substantial inasmuch as his daughter, Magdeline (Schneider) Lichtenberger told her granddaughter Mrs. W. P. Huston, how well she remembered her father when he returned home from Germany. She was a child, but remembered his horse and the huge saddle bags, which he threw into the corner of the room, filled with gold and silver he had brought back from Germany. This was most likely Adam's share of the estate, as well as shares for his brothers Henry and Jacob, who had not gone back to Germany with him. The county of Somerset was created by authority of the Pennsylvania State Assembly in April 1795. On September 12, 1795 a commission was appointed by the governor of Pennsylvania that selected Somerset Town, formerly known as Milfordtown (Brunerstown), to be fixed as the Seat of Justice. Adam was a man of enterprise and soon realized the need of four things necessary for a prosperous town: a church, a school, a place to dispense justice, and a burial ground. The same day, September 12, 1795, Adam Schneider and Peter Ankeny deeded land for the township of Somerset. Adam deeded lots on the west side of the Main Street (Great Road); he grounds he donated were part of his farm and were later occupied by the courthouse, jail, school and Lutheran (now Union) Cemetery. On the burial grounds southeast corner, that Adam gave, he with his brothers Jacob and Henry, George Corpenning and Frederick Neff Sr., acting as charter members, erected a log house which was used as a place of worship and as a schoolhouse. The Rev. Frederick Wiliam Range was the pastor. He is buried with the Schneider family in the old cemetery on the hill above where the old church stood. Adam was among the earliest settlers of Milfordtown (Somerset). Mrs. Susan Ferner once informed David Husband that she visited Milfordtown when there were but four cabins, these were the Armstrongs, Rickards, Schneiders and Weimers. In 1797 Rev. Heckwelder wrote in his journal, "a few miles further on we breakfasted at Snyder's Inn, Somerset, a new town two years old on a dry, elevated situation; there were twenty or thirty houses, mostly two stories." The settlers still needed to defend themselves and usually plowed their fields with a rifle strapped to their backs. On the tax list of the borough of Somerset, Adam is listed as a farmer and owner of an oil mill. He collected ground rents, as was customary in that time. These rents were entailed and collected for a long term of years upon all lots sold by the proprietors within the original limits of the town. As late as 1826, the heirs of Adam were collecting rents. In 1806 Adam Schneider was elected County Commissioner. In 1810 Adam gave a lot on Union Street for the building of a frame church. This church was destroyed by fire in 1824. This may account for the lack of baptismal and marriage records of the Schneider family and, of course, others. On August 28, 1825 the cornerstone was laid for the new brick church, but Adam did not live to see the completion of the new building. This church building was sold by the Lutheran denomination, with the consent of the Schneider heirs. In 1858 it became the property of Isaiah Pyle, then the Catholic Church and later of Neilan Engineering Firm; the address is 150 West Union Street in Somerset, Pa. In deed book 21, pages 274-277, at the courthouse in Somerset, Pennsylvania, the heirs of Adam Schneider are named, giving power of attorney to George Mowry to collect quit rents. At the time of Adam Schneider's death he was "seized" of four tracts of land situated in Richland Township, Cambria county, Pennsylvania. (1) one tract warranted in James Searight of James Dalton containing 439 1/2 acres; (2) one tract warranted in James Searight containing 439 1/4 acres; (3) one tract warranted in Jacob Nagle containing 439 1/4 acres; (4) one tract warranted in Henry Woods containing 439 1/4 acres, said tract adjoining heirs of the decedent and lands of the late Dr. William Smith and others. Information on Adam Schneider and his 11 children (another history reports he had twelve children) found in Cambria County Orphans Court Records for 1 April 1844(Vol. 1, Ebensburg, PA). Page 37 of book "Your Family Tree" in Logan Family History library (US/ Penn/ B2yft/ Vol. 27) !RESEARCH LEADS: There is a discrepancy between two lists of children for Adam and Catherine Schneider. The Laurel Messenger, Aug. 1971, page 8 lists twelve children. The Orphan's Court Will lists eleven children. But the names on the two lists differ. It is apparent that one child died in infancy (John) but that another child was also give the name of John later on. Some of the children may have two names and be listed under a different name on each list. Check this out before having the children sealed to the parents. A historical marker in the town of Somerset reads: "Adam Schneider laid out the north half of the settlement renamed Somerset in 1795. Schneider and his brother Jacob conducted the first store in Somerset. It stood on this site." BURIAL: The Union Cemetery is located on the hill just above where Adam's house and the old church stood. Family members descended from Adam Jr. say the family name is spelled SNYDER. Adam Schneider (b. December 31, 1747, d. February 06, 1826) Adam Schneider (son of Michael Schneider, Jr and Anna Barbara Troutman) was born December 31, 1747 in Gerhardstbrun, Dukedom, Nuedlinger, Germany, and died February 06, 1826 in Somerset, PA.He married Catherine Butman on November 01, 1775 in Hagerstown, Md, daughter of Andeas Andrew Putman (Buttman) and Catherine Barbara Bourghey. Includes NotesNotes for Adam Schneider: The direct family history and genealogy is hinged on the grandson of Michael Schneider Sr., who was Adam Schneider, born Decmber 31, 1747 at Gerhardtsbrum Zueibrehen, Germany and immigrated to America landing at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania September 17, 1773. He was united in holy matrimony to Catherine Putman the daughter of Andrew Putman and wife Catherine Wyandt Putman. Married November 1, 1775. He was a veteran of the Revolutionary War and served with the Penn Line. He was carried on the pension rolls until his death in 1825, and was buried in Washington County Maryland near Keedsyville in Mrs. Kefaufer's apple orchard. Adam Schneider Sr. received a large tract of land as a pension for his service in the Revolutionary War, near and in what is now Somerset, Pennsylvania. Adam Schneider was a man of means and great enterprize, and atonce realized the need of four things necessary for a prosperous town; a Church, School, Place of Justice and a Burial Ground. Consequently on the original plot of the town (Somerset, PA- 1795) ground was set apart and donated for the aboved names purposes, and they have all come down to us intact. Except the old Luthern Church which was sold by Luthern Denomination (with the permission of Adam Schneider Heirs) to buy another place for the new church. The old church was the property of Mr. Isaiah Pile in the year 1909, and was used as a dwelling. Orville Wilbur Snyder More Notes: Information on Adam Schneider and his 11 children (another history reports he had twelve children) found in Cambria County Orphans Court Records for 1 April 1844(Vol. 1, Ebensburg, PA).

Catherine had come to America with her father's family some years before Andrew migrated. Andrew and Catherine resided in Baltimore, Maryland after their marriage until Catherine's father died in 1780. Adam worked as a tailor there. In 1780 they returned to Pennsylvania and took over the Butman Homestead. In 1783 the homestead was sold and Adam returned to Germany. He induced his brothers Henry, age 21 and Jacob, age 15 to return with him to America. They arrived in 1784. It is not known what influenced Adam to leave the fertile valley of Washington county, Maryland for the rugged plateau of Somerset county, Pennsylvania to make a permanent home. It is recorded that in 1787 Woolerick (Ulrich) Bruner sold Adam Schneider 200 acres of land, which Bruner had previously bought from Harmon Husband, in exchange for 100 pounds and Adam's house and lot in Baltimore. This is at present the square just north of the Somerset Court House (bordered by N. Center, East Catherine, North Kimberly and East Fairview streets).

Adam Schneider, with his brothers Jacob and Henry, George Chorpenning and Frederick Neff Sr., acting as charter members, erected a log meeting house on the southeast corner for use as a school house and place of worship. Rev. Lang, Lutheran pastor in the new county of Somerset, served this congregation. Rev. Lang is buried next to the Schneider family. In 1797 Rev. Heckwelder wrote in his Journal, "a few miles further on we breakfasted at Snyder's Inn, Somerset, a new town two years old on a dry, elevated situation; there were twenty or thirty houses, mostly two stories," The Schneider estate in Germany must have been substantial inasmuch as Adam Schneider returned again to Germany in 1790 to share in the family estate. His daughter, Magdelin, remembered that upon his return to America, Adam threw huge saddle bags containing gold and silver into the corner of the room. Adam Schneider served in the Revolutionary War, as a private in the Continental Army, Pennsylvania line.
