    Notes:

    census record shows his parents both born in PA.

    [A Snider-from Julie Goheen.FTW]
    The first census I find Abraham and Elizabeth are in the 1840. They are living in Smith County, Illinois. I have found an Abraham in the 1830 census but not for sure... There is one Abraham in Greene County, TN but I have no proof that this is our Abraham.

    In the 1850 census Abraham and family are living in Twp 7, Range 11 in Jersey County, Illinois.
    Abraham Snyder, 35, M, farmer, born TN
    Elizabeth, 30, F, born NC
    Susanah, 16, F, born TN
    Nancy, 14, F, born TN
    James, 12, M, born TN
    Hannah, 9, F, born in TN
    John, 7, M, TN
    George, 2, M, IL
    Catherine, 6/12, F, TN

    In the 1860 census, Abraham are living in Jersey Landing Precinct in Jersey County.
    Abram Snyder, 61, M, farmer, born TN**
    Elizabeth, 62, F, born SC**
    Hannah, 20, F, born in IL
    John, 15, M, TN
    George, 14, M, TN
    Catherine, 10, F, TN
    Joseph, 8, M, IL
    Abner, 3, M, born IL

    Lots of discrepancies between 1850 and 1860 census... First, look at Abe and Elizabeth's age. .. they jumped about 30 years in ten years. Second, Hannah is born in IL in the 1860 census and TN in the 1850 census... They were in Smith, TN in 1840 so not sure... Her death certificate says Smith, TN as birthplace. Third, George should be 12 based on the 1850 census, John should be 17 according to the 1850 census. Also the birthplace of Elizabeth went from NC in 1850 to SC in 1860.

    In the 1870 census, Abraham and Elizabeth are in Twp 6, Range 11 in Jersey County.
    Snider, Abraham, 69, b. TN
    Snider, Elizabeth, 55, b. TN
    Snider, Absalom A, 13, b. IL (this is Abner)
    Snider, George W, age 22, b. IL

    Yet again some discrepancies...

    1880 census finds the Snider family in the Illinois Twp of Jersey County.
    Abriham, 80, b.IL Father and mother listed as born in PA
    Elizabeth, 71, b. b. NC
    A. Pollis, 24, b. IL -- this is Abner but not sure where Pollis comes in at

    I am still looking for the marriage of Abraham and Elizabeth. I am pretty sure it happened in TN, but have no proof or date as of yet.


    Residence:
    There's an Abraham and William Snider on 1812 Tax List in Greene County. Also a Samuel Craig

    perhaps this Abraham a child of one of the Taxpayers Abraham or William.

    Research Notes:
    Questioning if Abraham in Mercer County is father of this Abraham. This Abraham says he was born in Tennessee and parents born in Pennsylvania. Abraham who lived in Wolf Creek seems to have died in Pennsylvania, never making it south to Tennessee.

    1830 Greene Co, TN (this is Abraham Snider who married Catherine Shrum, and had a son William. Not likely this Abraham.

    Abraham is total of 7 and David total of 2.

    There's an Abraham and William Snider on 1812 Tax List in Greene County. Also a Samuel Craig

    Smith county is 207 miles west of Greene Co, reasonable path of migration.
    Jersey county is 800 miles NW from Smith county.


    1820 census shows a Jacob in Jackson County;
    a couple 26-44 (1776-1794) and one 1 male over 45 (bef 1775).
    Jacob could be either, prob younger, elder is one Abraham who is taxpayer in 1812.
    also 2 males under 10 (1810-1820), 1 f 10-15

    Abraham could possibly be a male under 10 since he gave a wide range of ages in his census records.


    William Snider in 1797 Sullivan Co, TN tax list and 1812 Greene - Sullivan just east of Greene.
    also Michael and Barney in Sullivan.

    Jonas and Peter in Stewart Co.

    Stewart county is between Smith & Jersey IL

    --------------
    a John Warren, pension of North Carolina military, pension roll 4 Mar 1831, Smith Co, TN - birth year abt 1762.

    ---------------
    update 11/29/2014
    found a family of Sniders in Greene Co TN that seemed suspicious and traced them - turned out they were from VA instead of PA.; so probably not; but going to leave them in the file after all that work. They'll probably connect to somebody eventually.

    Then I found where one of John Warren's granddaughter's married a Snider (Snyder) - Eva Snider m Arthur P. Snyder who was born in PA. Families stick close for generations, even centuries; so figured he could be a cousin of sorts - tracked his family; but didn't see a connection.

    In tracking his family I saw that his sister Mildred Parma Snyder also married a Snyder - Dudley Clarence - also from PA. So, I ran his line, too. Still zilch.

    Not seeing a connection yet between all these, I tracked the Kline family - Germans who migrated thru PA - Jacob Kline m Nancy Elizabeth Snider, dau of Abraham & Eliz Craig. Only thing that I cocked my head at after doing that is saw that an Alfred Skinner was in the household of one of them as a servant in Christian Co in 1900. I can't figure out who he was; but makes me think these families were connected in PA.

    Abraham* married Elizabeth* Craig, (dau?) about 1829. Elizabeth* (daughter of James* Craig and Susanna Abigail* Burchett) was born on 1 May 1811 in North Carolina; died on 15 Jun 1885 in Newbern, Jersey Co, Illinois; was buried in Newbern Cem, Mississippi Twp, Jersey Co, Illinois.

    History of Mercer County
    All History of Mercer County, Pennsylvania: its past and present, its aboriginal history, its early settlement and
    deve results for Brackenridge

    pg 615-616
    "Pioneers -- Thomas McCoy settled in the township (Wolf Creek) in 1796 or 1797, removing thither from Harper's Ferry, Va. He had six sons that settled in the neighborhood, viz.: John, Joseph, James, Thomas, Hugh and William. All grew to manhood, leaving sons and daughters. His neighbors at that time were William Breckenridge, the nearest one; Samuel Waldron, the McKees, William McMillan, Abraham Snyder, William Smith and others. These people had their peculiar sport. One of their tricks was to pull the hair of a comrad who could not say "thump, thunder and thatch." When a German was coaxed into the party and called out "tump, tunder, and tach," he was sure to have his head well plucked. In this game poor Snyder was the sufferer among the Wolf Creek boys."

    page 1028:
    (relating history of family of James M. Coulter, then states of the family, "About 1804 they removed to this county (Mercer), and settled in Wolf Creek Township, which is now the northern part of Liberty Township, purchasing a farm of Abraham Snyder, which is now owned by Edward Denniston and Joseph Moore."

    (Note: Wm Breckenridge mentioned here does not seem to be at least closely related to our Breckenridges who settled in Virginia, unless their connection was in Scotland. This William Breckenridge (Brackenridge) came to America from Campbeltown, Argylshire, Scotland, about 1773, settled first in York Co, Pa; was married to Jane Anderson.

    Parents of William appear to be John Brackenridge and Mary Denniston, both born in the 1720s and both died in Scotland.


    Possessions:
    sold farm to James M. Coulter (per History of Mercer County)
    States Wolf Creek is "now" part of Liberty Twp.
