General Notes: Husband - Matthias Snyder

---

In his youth he served as a soldier in the Revolutionary war, enduring the hardships and participating in the struggles and battles of that eventful period. After the war he migrated to Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania, when it was yet a dense forest and an almost unbroken wilderness. He located and settled down four miles northwest of Greensburg in what is now Hempfield township, four miles south of Salem. He held his membership in the Reformed church, Greensburg, which was under the pastoral care of that holy man of God and veteran pioneer minister of the Reformed church in western Pennsylvania, the Rev. John William Weber. He departed this life while yet a comparatively young man, stricken down with fever at the age of forty-five.
He was a shoemaker by trade, but he was chiefly occupied in clearing out his farm.

His two brothers immigrated to Maryland.
