Hi Alma:
Well ,I have part of William Snider's will for now. I got it from Ann Mcgill who had
posted on the GenForum of
genealogy.com in Sept 2000-looking for descendants of William
Snider and Sarah "Backus". I just saw her note yesterday. She only knew , for
sure about James from personal family history.
Anyway, she has a very ill (terminally) husband who is in the hospital but sent me as
much of the will as she has. It is really part of the accounting after the will is filed
BUT it is a start. She will try to get more.
She is a descendant of the Martin L Snyder of the Bio., son of James Snyder of
Tippecanoe.
The names she found for kids are John, Jacob, James, Kitty, Sally, Nancy, Henry, William
and one unnamed daughter. This fits in nicely with Catherine, Sarah, Nancy and Mary in
Illinois and your John, then the James and Jacob in Tippecanoe. Maybe William Jr and or
Henry stayed in Ross????
I quote from part of the probate:

So William Snider of Ross County, Concord Township had a John who looks like he may have
been the oldest child. I bet he is your John Snider. The 407 refered to above is Survey
407 in Concord--part of the description of the land William owned.
Of course none of the kids were married as yet when he died and will was probated so we
don't have that to help us. I bet the Sarah Snider that your John was concerned about
was his mother Sarah who was still living in Ross County as late as 1840 and maybe was
still there when John died before she went to Illinois.
William is buried in the Old Baptist Cemetery in Frankfort, Ross County, Ohio but no stone
has been found. That is where some of my Hulls, and my Cousin Wendell's Sperry's
are buried.
All for now.
