We will share any SNYDER info we have, but most of it is from Arkansas where William J. SNYDER and his wife Martha Ann ROBERTS had their family. William J. SNYDER is my wife Connie's gg-grandfather. According to his obituary, he was b. 17 Apr 1847 at Greeneville, Greene Co., Tennessee. [d. 21 Nov 1893 at Springville, Conway Co., Arkansas] He was the son of William O. SNYDER b. about 1811 in SC and Margaret [-?-] b. about 1812 in Tennessee. It appears William O. SNYDER came to NE Tennessee somewhere around 1830 and married Margaret, as they have a daughter Elizabeth b. about 1833 in TN. It appears William O. SNYDER and wife and family moved to Lost Creek, Newton Co., Missouri about 1858 or so as they are there in the 1860 census and their youngest child is shown as a 3-yr old son Daniel that had been born in TN. His occupation in 1860 was tanner, and sons George and Thomas are shown as farmers. We have them tied to Hawkins Co. TN by the 1850 census[they are listed as family no. 49 in District No. 14]: William SNYDER 39 M W Farmer SC Margaret 38 F W TN Elizabeth 16 F W TN George 13 M W TN Thomas 12 M W TN Mary 10 F W TN Ann 8 F W TN Mark 6 M W TN William* 4 M W TN *[this is Connie's gg-grandfather William J.] Elmira 2 F W TN We will be researching this family in TN next month for three days from the Chattanooga and Knoxville libraries to courthouses and libraries in Greeneville, Rogersville, Kingsport, Blountville and Bristol. Thank you for reading this far. If you know anything more about the William O. SNYDERs while they were in TN or where he or his wife were before, I hope you will reply. I am a retired Navy Supply Corps Officer, and Connie is an RN in Pensacola. We would love to break through the brick wall we have on who Margaret's parents were, and where in SC William O. SNYDER was born and who his parents were....... Bruce Rova (and Connie) Gulf Breeze, FL Important Note: The author of this message may not be subscribed to this list.
