Their 2 surviving children also came to Kent Co.: Adriana Johanna (1844-1932) who married Marinus van Poortvliet (Van Portfliet) and Jacobus Jan Snoek (1847-1918) who married Catharina Cornelia Quist. I'm interested in hearing from any descendants and exchanging info. My great-great grandmother, Johanna Snoek (1835-1907) married Marinus Nelisse and came to the U.S. in 1875, settling first in Cleveland, then in Chagrin Falls, Ohio. Another brother, Anthony, may also have come to the U.S., but I haven't been able to locate him or his family.
