The 1881 History of Coshocton County sketches four Snyder men and never says how any of them were related, so each household is kept apart here. In the city of Coshocton, Daniel Snyder, born in Tuscarawas County in 1843 to Peter Snyder, a native of Switzerland, worked as a carpenter in Indiana and Kansas City before joining the milling firm of Sayer, Balch & Co. in 1880, while S. W. Snyder, born in the county in 1840, turned a harness shop at Roscoe into a trade in hides, pelts and furs and held half of the Snyder & Andrews livery. In Crawford Township, B. M. Snyder and Dr. S. P. Snyder were both born in German Township, Holmes County, in 1844 and 1852; B. M. farmed and was elected justice of the peace in 1877, and S. P. graduated with first honors from the medical department of Wooster University in 1880 and began practice at New Bedford. Other sketches name Snyder daughters who married into the Andrews, Brown, Hoover and Beam families. Every fact below is cited to a public-domain Coshocton County history.
