I really haven't been able to find much to expand the information on Jacob. After
reviewing your message again and noting the date of your John Candy's birth--1802--I
know that he is not the child of Jacob Candy and Catherine Snyder/Schneider since they
were married in 1805--however, it does not mean that Jacob was not perhaps married before
(he was 19 in 1902 and may have lost his first wife but not their child, this is all
supposition, of course). I have not been able to identify any additional family members
with any certainty and am simply stuck where I am until such time that I or someone else
is able to travel to the region and did into whatever records that might be available
there.
Please keep me posted if you have any success and I will do the same.
