Hi Janet,
I have not yet had time to research this line of my ancestors but I have a
Cora Alice Kerr b. 1864 M. William Menzie and her obit. states her mother
and father were William and Elizabeth Snyder Kerr. Just wondering if my
Elizabeth Snyder Kerr could be related to your Henry? She died in Whitley
Co.

Subject: [INKOSCIU] Elizabeth ?Shelton or ?Shetron, wife of Henry Snyder
(1792/4-1866) of Cumberland PA, Richland OH and Kosciusko IN.
Henry Snyder was born 1792 (Bible) or 1794 (g.s.) in Cumberland Co.
PA,
moved to Sandusky Twsp, Richland Co. OH and about 1854 to Washington Twsp.
Kosciusko Co. IN. He died there in died June 13 1866 aged 72 years but was
buried in Summit Cem. in Whitley Co. IN.
The question arises as to the maiden name of Henry Snyder's wife Elizabeth
buried with him in Summit ( Henry remarried to a Lucinda).
Generally the name is given as Elizabeth Shelton; however an 1850 letter
citing
county histories said Elizabeth Shetron -the 1880 Morrow County
History of their oldest son John Snyder does so.
They had 14 children. Most lived in Kosciusko during their lives. In the
bio of son
Henry Snyder Jr. in the Whitley Co. History, there was no mention
of mother's maiden name.
What have other researchers found?
