	Snyder sisters Anna Hovey, Helena vanWegen Cowburn Andrus and Alice McCracken Bump...
	20240101GHLn- Dawn Wick Schiller November 22, 2023 · Hello Potter County! I have mystery to solve here. The SNYDERS of Sweden Township, Potter County, go back to 1837 when Jacob Snyder b.1789 and his wife Catherine Houseknecht b.1790 settled there from Springwater, NY originally coming from Muncy, Lycoming county. Their grandson, Jacob Snyder b. 1842, (Father Daniel, Mother Mary Ann Shay) and Betsey Burt (Father Alanson and Mother Anna Lewis) had 3 girls who grew to adulthood, all of Potter County. Their names are Anna Snyder b1865 m. Edward Hovey, Helena Snyder b.1867 would marry Archibald VanWegen and James Cowburn and Fred Andrus. Then there is Alice Snyder, my great grandmother born in 1871 m. Benjamin McCracken, Frank Bump (among others..she married 4 times). The photo shows at least 2 of the 3 Snyder sisters with their daughters and grandchildren. They can be identified from left to right as: Anna Snyder Hovey with her arm on the shoulder of her sister Alice Snyder. The first child is Beth McCracken Cole granddaughter of Alice (from her son Elliott McCracken), then Vera McCracken, Alice's daughter, with her child Betty Jean Doodson (my mom btw b. 1922 and to help you date the photo her mother Vera would die in 1927). The lady peeking around from behind with the pearls is unknown and also unknown is the woman standing in front, with glasses, black coat. This is the mystery person. She looks like a Snyder to me and this is the woman I am trying to identify. I believe this is sister Helena Snyder. Her apparent age in comparison to the other sisters tell me she is of the same generation. (The woman with the scratched-out face is, well, unknown and clearly disliked!). Helena married James Cowburn and had a child Clarence Burt Cowburn of Potter County. She later married Archibald Van Wegen and had a son Maurice. Helena would then marry Fred Andrus also of Potter country and she and her son Maurice Van Wegen lived together until they removed to Michigan. So, perhaps some of you might have any knowledge of Helena and her marriages and children? Perhaps you might have pictures of Helena? Any tips would help. At the time my mother was alive she didn't know who that would be either, so any help would be great. Happy Thanksgiving to you all. Comments Kaye Swift Baxter I’m not certain but I think the woman in the black coat is Betsy Williams Snyder married to Andrew Jackson Snyder , my great grandfather. 5w Reply Dawn Wick Schiller Hi Kaye Swift Baxter, perhaps, however I'm more likely to assume that the woman was born a Snyder and therefore the resemblance. Second Betsey Williams Snyder died in 1897, this picture was taken around 1927. 5w Reply Edited

She is in a very serious condition but it is believed that she will recover if blood poison does not set in. Mrs McCracken was spending the day with her mother, Mrs. Snyder, who lives about one and a half miles from Ulysses. For some time it has been thought that Fred Suhr was insane and several months ago proceedings were begun to have him removed to an asylum but as he seemed improved and harmless, he was permitted to remain with his parents who are highly respected people and who have the sympathy of everyone in the terrible calamity that has befallen them. Fred is their only son and naturally a good ambitious boy and a great source of comfort to his parents. On Saturday he had heard that his cousin Alice was at her mother's home and expressed a desire to see her. His father tried to persuade him not to go to the Snyder home but he insisted. The father feeling un-easy followed him. The unfortunate young man entered the home of his aunt and at once made a desperate dash for Mrs. McCracken with a butcher knife that he had concealed in his coat sleeve. He stabbed her five times in the back, twice In the neck and several times in the face. There are two savage gashes in her throat, just missing the jugular vein, In fighting for her life her hands were terribly cut, the little finger of one hand being nearly severed. The insane boy seemed to have no desire to injure anyone else and Mrs. Snyder fought desperately to save her daughter and but for her aid, Mrs. McCracken would undoubtedly have been killed. The unfortunate young woman was Immediately removed to her home in Ulysses and Dr. Church was summoned and everything possible done to alleviate her suffering. Her throat is so badly lacerated that it is with difficulty that nourishment is taken, still it is believd she will recover. After the horrible assault, Suhr took to the woods and Immediate hunt was made for him but the searchers failed to locate him. However, about ten o'clock he returned to his home and was taken from there to Ulysses where he was locked up. He said that before the attack he hated Alice but that since that he did not. He had made threats against other residents of the neighborhood, among them being O. E. Crandall and there was general uneasiness and alarm throughout the vicinity until he was safely lodged behind the bars. Tuesday morning a lunacy commission consisting of Drs. Church and Eaton of Ulysses and Prothonotary F. N. Newton investigated the case and found the young man insane. He was brought to Coudersport Tuesday and lodged in Jail. The order of Court was that he be taken to Warren by the sheriff and he will be taken there at once.

john wetzel- Article here and death certificate have incident/death occurring 19 April, not 29th, in Lewisville, not Coudersport, although the place is not clear from the article; it is, on the death certificate. :O)

AGED WOMAN DIES IN HER BURNING HOME
The fire company was summoned to the home of Mrs. Anna Hovey on South Main Street, Monday afternoon, April 19, where the house was rapidly being consumed by flames. Blair Lambert discovered smoke coming from the roof and as the door was locked a window was broken out and Mrs. Hovey was found burned to death. It is not known how the accident occurred as she lived alone and was subject to heart attacks.
Mrs. Hovey was the daughter of Mr and Mrs Jake Snyder, late of Sweden Hill, but lived many years with her grandparents, Mr and Mrs Alanson Bert in Ulysses Township. She was united in marriage to Edward Hovey, a blacksmith in this borough for many years. Since his death she has resided alone. She had no near relatives. The body was moved to the Kear Funeral Home but no arrangements for the burial have been made at this time.
The south wing of the house was nearly destroyed, but the remainder of the house remained intact.

Hello Potter County! I have mystery to solve here. The SNYDERS of Sweden Township, Potter County, go back to 1837 when Jacob Snyder b.1789 and his wife Catherine Houseknecht b.1790 settled there from Springwater, NY originally coming from Muncy, Lycoming county.
Their grandson, Jacob Snyder b. 1842, (Father Daniel, Mother Mary Ann Shay) and Betsey Burt (Father Alanson and Mother Anna Lewis) had 3 girls who grew to adulthood, all of Potter County. Their names are Anna Snyder b1865 m. Edward Hovey, Helena Snyder b.1867 would marry Archibald VanWegen and James Cowburn and Fred Andrus. Then there is Alice Snyder, my great grandmother born in 1871 m. Benjamin McCracken, Frank Bump (among others..she married 4 times).
The photo shows at least 2 of the 3 Snyder sisters with their daughters and grandchildren. They can be identified from left to right as: Anna Snyder Hovey with her arm on the shoulder of her sister Alice Snyder. The first child is Beth McCracken Cole granddaughter of Alice (from her son Elliott McCracken), then Vera McCracken, Alice's daughter, with her child Betty Jean Doodson (my mom btw b. 1922 and to help you date the photo her mother Vera would die in 1927).
The lady peeking around from behind with the pearls is unknown and also unknown is the woman standing in front, with glasses, black coat. This is the mystery person. She looks like a Snyder to me and this is the woman I am trying to identify. I believe this is sister Helena Snyder. Her apparent age in comparison to the other sisters tell me she is of the same generation. (The woman with the scratched-out face is, well, unknown and clearly disliked!).
Helena married James Cowburn and had a child Clarence Burt Cowburn of Potter County. She later married Archibald Van Wegen and had a son Maurice. Helena would then marry Fred Andrus also of Potter country and she and her son Maurice Van Wegen lived together until they removed to Michigan.
So, perhaps some of you might have any knowledge of Helena and her marriages and children? Perhaps you might have pictures of Helena? Any tips would help. At the time my mother was alive she didn't know who that would be either, so any help would be great. Happy Thanksgiving to you all.

I’m not certain but I think the woman in the black coat is Betsy Williams Snyder married to Andrew Jackson Snyder, my great grandfather.

Hi Kaye Swift Baxter, perhaps, however I'm more likely to assume that the woman was born a Snyder and therefore the resemblance. Second Betsey Williams Snyder died in 1897, this picture was taken around 1927.

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.

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.

Perry Streeter
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!

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.

Hello Potter County! I have mystery to solve here. The SNYDERS of Sweden Township, Potter County, go back to 1837 when Jacob Snyder b.1789 and his wife Catherine Houseknecht b.1790 settled there from Springwater, NY originally coming from Muncy, Lycoming county.

Their grandson, Jacob Snyder b. 1842, (Father Daniel, Mother Mary Ann Shay) and Betsey Burt (Father Alanson and Mother Anna Lewis) had 3 girls who grew to adulthood, all of Potter County. Their names are Anna Snyder b1865 m. Edward Hovey, Helena Snyder b.1867 would marry Archibald VanWegen and James Cowburn and Fred Andrus. Then there is Alice Snyder, my great grandmother born in 1871 m. Benjamin McCracken, Frank Bump (among others..she married 4 times).

The photo shows at least 2 of the 3 Snyder sisters with their daughters and grandchildren. They can be identified from left to right as:
Anna Snyder Hovey with her arm on the shoulder of her sister Alice Snyder.
The first child is Beth McCracken Cole granddaughter of Alice (from her son Elliott McCracken),
then Vera McCracken, Alice's daughter, with her child Betty Jean Doodson (my mom btw b. 1922 and to help you date the photo her mother Vera would die in 1927).

The lady peeking around from behind with the pearls is unknown and also unknown is the woman standing in front, with glasses, black coat. This is the mystery person. She looks like a Snyder to me and this is the woman I am trying to identify. I believe this is sister Helena Snyder. Her apparent age in comparison to the other sisters tell me she is of the same generation. (The woman with the scratched-out face is, well, unknown and clearly disliked!).

Helena married James Cowburn and had a child Clarence Burt Cowburn of Potter County. She later married Archibald Van Wegen and had a son Maurice. Helena would then marry Fred Andrus also of Potter country and she and her son Maurice Van Wegen lived together until they removed to Michigan.

So, perhaps some of you might have any knowledge of Helena and her marriages and children? Perhaps you might have pictures of Helena? Any tips would help. At the time my mother was alive she didn't know who that would be either, so any help would be great. Happy Thanksgiving to you all.
