A Jacob Kitzmiller had a survey for land in what is now Annville Township, Lebanon County, and near his lived Hans Adam Schneider. Then there are a Jacob & John Kitzmiller that had land surveys in Early Township, and a John Kitzmiller Jr. that had a survey in Cocalico Township. There was a Leonard Kitzmiller that was on the Frederick County, MD non-enroller's list, who owned land very near the Beaver Dam Congregation, and sold property to Samuel Garber all in the 1770's.

Also a very good start to uncovering what I have called the "Schneider-Kitzmiller-Mack Nexus." Now the marriage between old Kitzmiller and Anna Margaret Mackin makes perfect sense since she was an "old" widow. I had presumed that she was a sister to all the other Mack women on the Ship Allen rather than their widowed mother. Thanks for this new (to me) information. Do you know whether or not the Christian Schneider (who married Susanna Mack) was the same Christian Schneider who lived in Earl Township near the Kitzmillers and their Mack wives? I think that William Thomas (of this list) may have addressed this issue in one of his posts or at least he may have some good clues about it. If you have already told the Pennsylvania story of Christian and Susanna [Mack] Schneider, would you please tell it once more.

Does anyone have any dates on the Hans Adam Schneider mentioned in the message appended below?? Did he live out his life at the location mentioned, or did he move on?? I have found some clues suggesting that I might be descended from an Adam Schneider, who died in 1782 in Menallen Twp. in what is now Adams Co., and was somehow connected to the Big Conewago COB. Is it possible that this could be the same person?? Or a son or nephew??
