Hi Phil,
Well, I have to tell you that I have details you don't (apparently), but there are discrepancies between different family sources of mine.This may, in fact, leave you with more questions than answers.Here we go ...
1st.I am related to the Snyder family through my Dad's side of the family.
Richard J. McCormick, Jr.was my father.
His dad, Richard J. McCormick, Sr., married Ruby Fern Frazier
Ruby was the daughter of Dora Weldon Frazier and Cora Jane Snyder.
Cora Jane Snyder was, I think, the daughter of Daniel Snyder and Mary.
2nd.Some of my information comes from the sister of myDad's aunt.This information builds a family history around the names of AndrewSnyder and and Sarah (or Bridget) Mosier.
3rd.The other part of my information comes from cemetery stones, and contact with a Russell Snyder (Hull, IA as of 1982).Russell was very kind and sent me a letter with lots of names and details, almost all of which dovetailed very well with the few facts I already held.Russell's version builds a family history around Daniel Snyder and his wife, Mary.
I suppose I should add that I have learned the hard way in genealogy that both versions may be true if there were divorces, deaths, or simultaneous marriages.Yes, something like this happened in a different branch of my family.
Below is a cut & paste of text info from a file I wrote a long time ago.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Daniel Snyder
Born: 18 Aug 1818; PA
Marr:
Died: 23 Jan 1901; Camp Point, IL
Notes:
From (my Dad's) Aunt Pearl Frazier, "Andrew" Snyder was "Pennsylvania Dutch".
Daniel (or Andrew) was possibly from Easton, PA, about 170 miles North-Northeast of Baltimore, MD.
Aunt Pearl gave me a name and address for Russell Snyder.Russell says the parents of Cora Jane Snyder were Daniel Snyder (DOB: 18Aug 1818) and Mary (DOB: 22 Sep 1836).
According to Russell Snyder, the children of Daniel and Mary were:
Edward W. (father of Russell)
Ervin
Amanda (married an Abbott)
Ellen (married a Felsman)
Clara
Emma (married a Pope)
Cora (married a Snyder)
Dell (married a Messick)
and possibly more
(Again according to Russell)The Snyders are from Easton, PA, and ended up in Illinois.Where and when they arrived to Illinois is unknown.Daniel and Mary likely lived with parents of Russell since Russell's parents buried Daniel and Mary in Camp Point, IL.Russell has an older sister in California who may know more.

Mary Mosier
NOTE: The name of Daniel's (or Andrew's) wife is still much in doubt.
Possible candidates are:
Mary Mosier, Sarah Mosier, or Bridget (??).
Possibly from Liberty, IL.
Mary is from Easton, PA.

I grew up in southeast Iowa.Most of my relatives are from Iowa, and west central Illinois (near Quincy, IL).
Please let me know if you see any significant connections.And PLEASE let me know if you can clear up any of the differences between the Daniel and Andrew versions of the Snyder family.
