Present day location of old Snyder farm is on the south side of Rt. 208, west of the intersection with Turkey City Road, Salem Twp., Clarion Co. PA.  <sup class="reference">[8]</sup>  This farm passed to Harmon's son, Harmon S. Snyder (1865 map), and then to his grandson D.A. Snyder (1877 map).  The other Snyder farm noted on the two maps is presumably that of Christopher Snyder, brother of Harmon S. Snyder.

[edit] NOT A DIRECT ANCESTOR

Harmon S. Snyder is not in my direct ancestry. He is 1 step removed in the following ways:


Harmon S. Snyder " came from Clinton county about 1841" to Clarion Co., PA, apparently to Salem Twp. where his son D.A. Snyder was born. He apparently married after arriving in Clarion Co., as Mary E. Knight, his wife, was born in Clarion Co. Harmon died in 1871.[6]

Birth 1821 Lamar Twp, Center Co. PA
(became Clinton Co. in 1839) 		[3][4][5]
Marriage To Mary E. Knight [6][7]

Present day location of old Snyder farm is on the south side of Rt. 208, west of the intersection with Turkey City Road, Salem Twp., Clarion Co. PA. [8] This farm passed to Harmon's son, Harmon S. Snyder (1865 map), and then to his grandson D.A. Snyder (1877 map). The other Snyder farm noted on the two maps is presumably that of Christopher Snyder, brother of Harmon S. Snyder.

A Benjamin Snyder and wife, both 20-30 yrs, are two residences away. Benjamin is possibly a brother of Harmon Snyder.

The missing daughter is probably Matilda, possibly working in another home. She is probably not married, as she appears in her mother's home in 1850.


Note: Clinton County was created in 1839 from old Center County, and lies north of present day Center County. The Snyder family probably remained in the same location, the Center to Clinton Co. change reflecting only the county name change.
