Vermilion County, Illinois "Marriage Abastracts" 1826-1852. John Snider Jr. Married Rachel Smalley 3/18/1841. Benjamin Smalley Faterh signed.
Census 1850 U.S. Federal Census Vermilion County, Illinois. John Snyder 35 Farmer Born Ohio Rachael 30 Born Ohio John* 10 Born Ohio James 8 born Illinois Margaret** 1 born Illinois.
* possibly a census takers's error. this individual is more likey son Samuel. The Ohio birthplace of this child is curious in that John andRachel were married in Vermilion County, Illinois. Another Error? An infant named John Milton Snider, known to be the child of john and Rachel is buried at Higginsvile Cemetery with his father. It seems unlikely that there would be two children in one family with the given name "Jhon" . As for John and Rachel's other son Benjamin Smalley Snider -perhaps with other relatives. ** Margaret is probably the same individual referred to elsewhere as Mary E. (Mollie) Snider. If another daughter mamed Margaret did exist, then she was dead by August 05, 1854, for there is no Margartet in the deed naming John Snider's heirs.
