* possibly a census takers's error. this individual is more likey son Sa

amed J ohn Milton Snider, known to be the child of john and Rachel is buri
ed at H igginsvile Cemetery with his father. It seems unlikely that the
re wou ld be two children in one family with the given name "Jhon" . As f
or Jo hn and Rachel's other son Benjamin Smalley Snider -perhaps with oth
er rel atives. ** Margaret is probably the same individual referred to el
sewhe re as Mary E. (Mollie) Snider. If another daughter mamed Margaret d
id exi st, then she was dead by August 05, 1854, for there is no Margart
