There is an every-name index for Snell's book and it is available online, if you or your library or school subscribes to HeritageQuest. The HeritageQuest copy seems to have been photocopied from a typescript belonging to the New Jersey Historical Society. To view it, go to HeritageQuest and click on "Search Books," and then on "Search Publications," and then either browse for "[Index to Snell's" being sure to include the bracket in front of "Index," or go to advanced search and put in "Snell" for author and "Hunterdon" for title keyword. Once you get to the document, you will find that the pages are numbered oddly. Somerset County is indexed on pages 1 to 81, but Hunterdon County is indexed on pages a1 to a174. There is no word-find capability in this file, so you have to estimate what page your family's name might show up on and then work back or forth from there. Our library has a paper copy that we made off the HeritageQuest and I will be willing to do lookups for people for whom the online version is not available. Oddly enough, HeritageQuest does not have the full text of Snell's history available, even though they have the index for it.
