General Notes: Husband - Conrad Snyder, Sr.


He was born in Switzerland, there married, and fled with his wife from his native land to the Netherlands to escape con­scription into the French army. On reaching his destination he learned for the first time of America, and decided to come to this country. He sold his time for transportation for himself and wife, and it is believed that he served seven years in one of the eastern counties of Pennsylvania to pay for his passage. He removed from Philadelphia county to Bedford county, thence to Westmoreland, and in 1800 accompanied his son Conrad and family to Butler county. They settled in Brady township, where he died at the advanced age of ninety-two years.
