The Snyder name is expected to be of German heritage, and to appear as Schneider in early US and German records. Our only knowledge of Harmon Snyder comes from his gravestone and the records of the Salem Lutheran cemetery association, Clarion County, PA. From Harmon's age at death, his birth date is calculated to be about 28 February 1791. He died in 1844. His wife Barbara survived him until 1851, possibly residing with their son Christopher Snyder in Richland township, Clarion County.
A biography of his grandson, D. A. Snyder of Lamartine, Clarion County, indicates that his parents came from Clinton County in about 1841. Thus it is possible that Harmon Snyder and wife Barbara may have resided in Clinton County, and may also have come west to Clarion in about 1841.
The Snyders were Lutherans in Clarion County. A search of Lutheran church records in Clinton County for the marriage of Harmon and Barbara, and the births of their children, is indicated.
This biography is prepared from the records here presented, with no further basis in direct family knowledge or tradition
