Besides Ernst Schneider, there was a Tobias SCHNEIDER/SNIDER, who was a soldier of the British 53rd Regiment, who also settled in Marysburgh, and who, as has been recorded in Reverend Langhorn's Church Register 1787-1813 (see microfilm H-1810 NAC, MG9 D7-56) on 13 July 1788 baptised a son Ernest Hinrich, his mother was Christine. He also baptised a daughter Sophy Elizabeth, on 17. Oct. 1790, according to Langhorn.
