General Notes: Husband - Jacob Snively

---

Coming to Franklin County, Pennsylvania, [from Lancaster County?] in 1731 he bought land in 1734, about two miles northeast of Greencastle, the same year building a log house. His first purchase was 500 acres to which he afterward added some 1000 acres more. By the above it will be seen he was a man of substance, and evidently of considerable business ability, as he acted for some time as collector of taxes and agent for the Penns.

He and his wives are buried about 100 yards north from the site where he built his pioneer log cabin. The burial place was surrounded by a substantial stone wall, three and one-half feet high and three feet thick, and was eighteen feet square; the center space was filled with earth to the top of the wall, and in this space lay the remains of the pioneers.
One quarter of a mile south of the above burial place is another ground, where lie buried a number of the Snively family.

On the site of his original log cabin, his son, Andrew, built a substantial stone structure in 1781. On the other side of the road, 100 yards distant, this same Andrew built a large brick residence for his son, Maj. Henry Snively, in 1799.

He came to Pennsylvania with his father and settled in Lancaster County, Pennsylvania, but he crossed the Susquehanna and moved westward at a very early period. He was one of the first settlers in the Conococheague valley, taking up a large tract of land in what became Antrim township, Franklin County, east of Greencastle. It is claimed that he built his cabin in 1734, on the site of the stone mansion built by his son Andrew in 1781, and later owned and occupied by Adam B. Zarger, Esq. The Rev. Michael Schlatter, the father of the Reformed Church in the United States, visited him there, in 1749, speaking of him as an "honest Swiss." [BAFC, 217]
