Searching for Snider

Surnames: Knopf Knupp Lowers Snider Stanbery
I am researching a branch of the Snider family line that at least at one time was in West Virginia. Maybe some descendants still are in West Virginia?

The oldest Snider Ancestor I have found info on is Peter Snider. All records agree he was born somewhere between 1853 and 1855. Census records say he was born in Germany. His marriage certificate, that says he married Eva Knopf (maybe Eve Knupp?) in 1879 in West Virginia, says Peter was born in Monroe County, WV. Eva died in 1942 and her death certificate suggests that Peter pre-deceased her.

Census records say that Peter and Eva had two children and adopted a third. The adopted boy was Charley Stanbery born about 1873 in WV. Their daughter was Emma (maybe Erma?) born about 1886 in WV. I have no other information on these two individuals.

Their natural son was William Snider (also known as Willie) born 1882 in West Virginia and died 1975 probably in West Virginia. According to his obituary, his wife Mae Flinn Snider pre-deceased him. They had one son that I am aware of - Kenneth Snider.

Kenneth Snider was born 1917 in West Virginia and died 1990 in WV. A marriage certificate indicates that in 1943 Kenneth married Bernice Lowers born 1920 in West Virginia and died 2001 in Ohio.

It would be great to find out more about the Snider ancestry as well as perhaps finding any living Snider descendants.

Can anyone help me fill in some of my gaps of information?
