Sweden Township, Potter County, Pennsylvania, USA
Beschreibung
1870 Census showing Jacob and other family members. Of particular interest, is Jacob states that his father was "foreign born". His mother is not listed as such, suggesting she was born in America. He is seen here as neighbor to his grandsons from his son Daniel. Daniel is found on the following page of this record.

Dawn Wick SchillerPotter/McKean County, Pennsylvania Genealogy

Hello all Snyder cousins from Potter county! As a descendant of Jacob Snyder b.1789 and Catherine Houseknecht b.1790 of Sweden Township, I have found a tiny detail about Jacob's parents that might lead to clues as to their identity. This detail is found in the 1870 census of Potter county that lists Jacob and his wife Elizabeth (his wife after the death of Catherine) as well as his grandsons Michael, Jacob and Richard, sons of his own son Daniel, as his neighbors.
As the website Ancestry indicates, many believe Jabob was born to a Jacob Snyder and Susannah Hoover of Pendelton, Virginia. Most of my research of Jacob centers around Lycoming county, Muncy Township. The Houseknechts too, all settled in Moreland. Jacob and Catherine would marry as teens so my guess was that this Snyder line probably originated in Berks and moved inland. Therefore, I never felt comfortable with the Virginia narrative due to distances between Muncy Township in Lycoming PA and Pendelton finding the details of time and place never agreed between the two lines.
But now we have some proof. Here in this census we find additional columns of information that ask about parentage and whether your parents are foreign born. His father is indicated as being "foreign born". This confirms my suspicion that his parents were immigrants. This is a huge piece of information that dispells the myth that he is from this Viginian line (which dates back to colonial Virgina).
His mother, on the other hand has no check mark in this column suggesting she was born in America. This too is significant, as now we can narrow any future searches to a Snyder/Schneider who either emigrated as a child with his family or alone as an adult. Jacob himself always stated he was born in PA. I make the assumption he might have been born in Berks, PA or maybe even in Lycoming county. Unfortunately, no documents of his birth have been found....yet.
So there's my small contribution to our family line. Perhaps we learn of his provenance now that we have an additional piece to the puzzle. Happy hunting Snyder family.
For those of you interested I have a 6-page document of findings on this family. Let me know should you like a copy.

What a great example of seeking evidence from original records and other trustworthy sources while maintaining a healthy dose of skepticism with respect to private trees at Ancestry and elsewhere!
Hopefully, the birthplace of parents columns in the 1880 US census also include helpful evidence.
Good luck making further progress!

Perry Streeter you know, it's not as if I am looking at this doc for the first time. I just decided to revisit all the info and it caught my eye. This little tidbit changes everything.

Yes! When I challenge my own research conclusions from when I was younger and less experienced, I often find "new" evidence that leads to revised conclusions and sometimes new ancestors.

On the other hand, there is evidence that they came down from upstate NY. I'm still trying to sort this out.

I'd love a copy of your document, Dawn. I've been researching a local cemetery here in Port Matilda, PA and I'm finding a lot of Houseknechts scattered around here, too, trying to figure out if we're related. We live on Ardery Hollow Lane, up in the hills; coincidence? Ardery is a family name in our Snyder branch.

John C Wetzel Hi John! I've been wanting to answer you as to why I make the assumption the Snyders came up from Berks Co., (Richmond) PA to Muncy. There is a Schneider line out of Richmond that is documented as having migrated to Muncy, Moreland and Franklin Townships along with Houseknechts. Another name that orbits around is SONES / SOHNS. I have matches to this name. Sones married into Houseknechts but also married Snyders. It's an assumption on my part, I know. I don't find any NY narratives yet. You will find it attached to Jacob Snyder's profile on family tree at Ancestry. It's titled Jacob Snyder of Sweden Township in .pdf format. If that link doesn't get you there, simply PM me an email address. I'd be happy to send it along. Here's the link: Here is the link. https://www.ancestry.de/.../person/262045974630/gallery...

Dawn Wick Schiller Thanks! I'd love to get a copy of this pdf. I can't download it to my laptop and I don't sync ancestry. Nice work, but I'm not convinced yet. Too much going on with them in NYS, as you've also pointed out, although I still have not established the migration, or port of entry, for that matter. Thank you again for sharing this.
