    Notes:

    [A Snider-from Julie Goheen.FTW]

    Place of birth is uncertain due to two factors...

    On the censuses he lists his place of birth as Tennessee. In his Illinois Civil War Detail Report, his nativity is Mount Vernon, Jefferson, Illinois.

    James A. Snyder had the rank of PVT. He was in Company K, Unit 97 IL US INF.

    His place of residence was Newburn, Jersey, Illinois. He was 5'10" with light hair, blue eyes, light complexion. He was married when he registered. His nativity was Mt. Vernon, Jefferson, Illinois.

    He joined in 22 Aug 1862 in Newbern. He was joined by JJ Briggs. He mustered in 8 Sep 1862 in Camp Butler, Illinois. He mustered out on 29 Jul 1865 in Galveston, TX. He was mustered out by LT Lull.

    At this time I am still trying to find the marriage for James and Rebecca. They are not listed in the Illinois Statewide Marriage Index. I am currently looking in Missouri.

    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.

    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.

    query for Abraham Snider in 1830 Tennessee census records finds Abraham and David next to each other.
    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.

    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.

    not sure of this portion of the line from Elizabeth Craig.
    Have seen that she is daughter of James and Susannah Burchett, and James is son of John Craig and Hannah Davis. However, the tree shows John as son of John 1732-1805 and Mary Molly Cox. No references.
