We are also not closely related to the Snyder family. But here's how the
Chessers are related by marriage: Blanche Snyder b. Mar. 1883, was the
daughter of Jacob Vernon Snyder. b. 23 Jan 1855 Miami Co. OH and Rosella May
(Gallahan) Snyder b. 1854 Cass Co. IN, youngest son of the Bible's original
owners. They married 28 Apr 1881 in Cass Co. IN. Blanche Snyder married
Carlton Ross on 21 Mar 1900 in Shelby Co. IN. He was b. Jan 1879 Hendricks
Twp. Shelby Co. IN, a son of Henry L. and Louisiana (Salla) Ross. They had
one daughter Irene Ross b. abt. 1907 MO who taught school for a number of
years in Shelbyville and Shelby County. Carlton's oldest brother was James
L. Ross b. 15 Oct 1861 d. 23 Feb 1941 married on 24 Oct 1886 Shelby Co. IN
Icephenia Chesser b. Nov. 1864 Hendricks Twp. Shelby Co. IN d. 1944. James
and Phoena (Chesser) Ross farmed in Bartholomew and Shelby Counties and had
three children the first two in Edinburgh, Johnson Co. IN: Hazel May Ross
b. Aug 1886 d. 1919 unm.; Clarence Louis Ross 17 Mar 1890 d. 12 Mar 1949,
postmaster in Edinburgh, Johnson Co. IN who m. Florence Mabel Smiley 10 Apr.
1914 Johnson Co. IN, no children; and Rita Ruth Ross b. Jan 1895 in Shelby
Co. IN.
Will Chesser (1871 Marietta, Hendricks Twp. Shelby Co. IN-1944 Shelbyville,
IN), father of Warren (living) and Fritz Chesser (1918-1988) and stepfather
of Ruth Taylor (1904-2006), was the youngest brother of Isephenia Chesser
Ross so Irene, Clarence, and Ruth Ross were first cousins and remember
spending time on the farm on the Marietta Road. The land was inherited by
Irene from her father Carl Ross and her Uncle James farmed it for her.
Several years ago before his death, Kermitt Money also related stories to me
about time he spent as a young man with the above individuals because he was
also native to the Marietta area..

requested.
Jacob and Margaret Snyder moved from Ohio to Shelby County, Indiana
between 1855 and 1860. There is also a Michael Snyder who is probably
Jacob's brother also listed in the census records. He came to Indiana after
1840.
