    1. [PADAUPHI] Snyder, 1790 - 1850 Lebanon Co. (Palmyra) and Dauphin Co. (Derry Twp.)
    2. Searching for descendants of George Snyder b. Aug, 3, 1790; d. Mar 25, 1851 -- Tombstone listing -- Cemetery of The Lutherische and Reformed Church, south side of West Main St., Palmyra, PA. Possible additional information -- 1830 Census of Derry Twp. (pg. 114) lists a George Snyder, age 40-50 but no son, one female under 5, three females 5-10, one female 10-15, and one female 20-30 that may be the spouse. Jacob Miller and John Kersnlick are neighbors (listed near each other on the same census page). (Note land deed below) 1840 Census of Derry Twp. (pg. 259) lists a George Snyder 50-60 years old having a son 10-15 years old. Only male child listed in 1840. This son could be my great grandfather George Snyder who would be age 16-17 depending when the census was taken in 1840. Female children listed: one age 10-15, two age 15-20, and one age 20-30. None the right age to be a spouse. Spouse appears to have died before 1840. Tombstone listing -- Cemetery of The Lutherische and Reformed Church, south side of West Main St., Palmyra, PA. George Snyder b. Aug, 3, 1790; d. Mar 25, 1851. Deed Book W2:257 George Snyder sold on October 13, 1849 to Thomas Kunkle 12 acres, 72 perches land bounded by John Forney, George Kerst, and Jacob Miller. Same track of land John Horstich (or Kersnlick -- spelling uncertain) and Nancy his wife sold on October 23, 1832 to George Snyder, recorded Dauphin Co. Deed Book V/U ?2, page 27. Signed George Snyder in German. No signature or suggested evidence of a wife for George. This appears to be an estate sale recorded in 1859
