Looking for information regarding Clinton Snyder b. 1839 in PA, probably in Northampton Co., PA. In 1840 and 1850 census, he was living in the home of his parents, Thomas and Lavina Snyder. He was one of 7 or 8 brothers. No record after 1850 although some of his brothers moved to Illinois.

Has anyone heard of this man and his family?

I don't have the people you mention in my database, but my mother had a first cousin named Clinton Snyder. He lived 1899-1977 in Kent Co., MI and was the son of Charles L. (1859-1936) and Lillian (Shaw) Snyder. Charles was the son of Alfred E. (1830-1913) and Sarah (Kiefer) Snyder. They moved from Northampton Co., PA to Kent Co., MI in 1859, I believe, with Alfred's parents, Spencer (1795-1880) and Nancy (Davison) Snyder.
Because of the name Clinton, I thought there might be a connection. I don't know of the name Clinton otherwise in my mother's family.

Hi David,

Thanks for the response. The name Clinton SNYDER is not very common, but we seem to have found two different people with that name.

My Clinton SNYDER also came from Northampton Co., PA, probably Allen Twp, b. circa 1839. and moved to Sparta, Livingston Co, NY with his parents, Thomas & Lovina SNYDER, in the late 1840's.

I also had a Charles A. SNYDER (1851- 1928) and a Alfred E. (Earl) SNYDER (1884 - 1971) but neither matches your folks in other details.

But I'll keep looking. Thanks again for your response.
