For many years I've been looking at a family of Samuel & Elizabeth Snyder in Franklin Twp. on the 1850 Federal Census - they have a daughter Lydia that matches the birthyear of my g-g-g grandmother, Lydia (Snyder) Deihl -who, according to her obituary in 1908, was born near Lairdsville.

Well, Friday I got some measure of confirmation from Lydia's death certificate at the PA State Archives. It states that her parents were "Samuel Snyder" and "Miss Lore."

So, going on that + the above census family, I ask anyone who might know, who is Elizabeth Lore, born about 1800?

Any advice is greatly appreciated.
