I was so interested that a few days ago Jan wrote of researching, among others, the SNIDER / SNYDER family of New Jersey. I wonder if there might be a connection with this family I'm working on. Huldah WALLING (b 1828 OH, d 1863 Fulton Co IL) m in Fulton Co in 1855 Thomas SNYDER (1833-1902). After Huldah died, Thomas remarried. But Huldah's father, Peter WALLING (1806-1885) , apparently lived with Thomas Snyder and worked with Thomas until Peter died. Elizabeth Ann WALLING (1839-1905) m in Fulton Co in 1859 David W. SNYDER (183 - aft 1880). Elizabeth Ann Walling was a cousin to Huldah Walling. David SNYDER may have been a brother or cousin to Thomas SNYDER. I work primarily on the WALLING family and would love to establish contact with some of the descendants of the WALLINGS who were in Fulton County in the 1840s-1880s. In general, these WALLINGS are descended from three brothers: John, Peter, and Lewis WALLING. All three of these brothers are buried in Greenwood Cemetery in Canton IL. Judy White
