I believe that this man is the Jacob Schneider who was a brother of Anna Margaret (Schneider) Mack. There is a Jacob Schneider in Germantown from 1760 through 1794, and there appears to be only one of them in each record, implying that there was only one living there throughout this period. Jacob isn't listed in the 1734 land records and there are two explanations for this. One, he didn't own any land at that time, which is consistent with him being listed as a laborer in 1794. However, if he didn't have any property, what did he need a will for? Two, he may have moved to Germantown sometime before 1760 after living elsewhere for the previous twenty to thirty years. This is consistent with a historical account in Biographical Annals of Lancaster County [PA]. I wasn't able to find a cemetery record for Jacob so that may be an indication that he didn't have a headstone originally or that the one he did have weathered away to illegibility. I did find a cemetery record for his daughter, Margaret, who was buried at the Market Square Presbyterian Church. She was born about 1735-1736, which is consistent with Jacob being born in the early 1700's. Margaret Snyder was a benefactor of this church so I hope that there may be more information about her in the church records than what is on the headstone. I have ordered a film of the church records so I'll soon see. The following will summaries may or not apply to this family. The first two are for Jacob and his daughter, Margaret. The third may be for Jacob's son, Peter, but I doubt it since his occupation doesn't seem real consistent with Jacob's. The last will has Jacob as a witness.
