This is not exactly the information you are looking for and I don't know where you are in the research on your Peter Snyder, but I am also researching a Peter Snyder in Stark Co Ohio; Osnaburg Twp to be exact.

My Peter was living in Fallowfield twp Washington Co Pa. About 1823 he and his father in law moved to a farm in the south west corner of Osnaburg Twp. This Peter was born about 1795 an died on Jan 01, 1848 in Stark Co. Three of his five sons were Samuel b:about 1822, Henry b:May 31, 1819 and Peter b:about 1826.

In the A Standard History of Stark County, Ohio, there is a bio on William H. Snyder, who was born on the family farm in Osnaburg Twp. In this bio it says his father was Samuel, his grand father was Peter, and his great grand father was John Snyder. Samuel was married to Lucinda Prouse. As the Bio says Samuel's family can be found in the Osnaburg twp census for several decades.

There is a John Snyder who received a BLM land grant in 1811 in Plain Twp Stark County. He appears to have lived in that township until he died. There is also evidence that the Osnaburg family had ties to the family in Plain Twp.

In the Plain Twp, there is a Nicolas Snyder and his wife Barbara who in 1816 sell property to Jacob, Peter, and Christena. Since the transfers were for a dollar, I assume these are children.

While I have theories about the relationships in these Snyders, I don't want to put them out in the forum, and add to the many superfluous trees that are out there. However, I am willing to work with you, off line, to sort out this family. Once documented the relationship can be published to the form.

If you are interested please contact me through Ancestry, or the email address in my Rootsweb profile, and then we can work through email.
