Just read your query regarding variations of the Schnerr surname. My 2x's great grandmother was Susanna "Snarr" and she married John Kuhn (Koon)in 1823; and, her father was Joseph Snarr of Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania and his father was Philip Schnerr of Union Township, Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania 1750/1829. Following the death of Susanna (Snarr) Kuhn, John Kuhn married her younger sister Julia "Snarr" in 1847.

My line was Joseph and Margaret Lake, there son Lewis W., born in Ohio married Mary E. (on Herman Cemetary marker) (John) Snare. I have marriage document that gives Joseph and Margent as parents. I would like information on where Lewis is buried.

My Joseph was a brother to Daniel, I believe, my Joseph stayed in Ohio while his son Lewis (born 1855) and Daniel moved to Herman, ILL.

I have much information on the Schnarr/Snare families and would like to share this information.

Hi,
My Snare ancestors came from Suffolk, England & their name seems to have started as Smare.

My grandmother, Emma (Eastep) Snare parents were Calven Eastep (born 1851) and Roseanna Smith, born October 24, 1850.

Hello Shelly Foster,

Your spelling of Suzanna Weight, I believe to be incorrect. Especially the last name "Weight" that means a unit of weights and measures.

The name "Waite" and specifically the name Suzanne Waite appears in the Snare family Bibles and genealogy records written years ago. I am confident of my great grandmother being Suzanne (Waite) Snare married to Madison Snare.

Perhaps you really do have a Suzzanna Weight that is not in my family line. Or perhaps your spelling of Weight is phnetic (by sound) and not the accurate spelling used by Suzanne.

Suzanne or Suzanna Waite was my great grandmother.
She was married to Madison Snare. Suzanne and Madison had a son, David Snare who married Emma F. Eastep. They had children, Robert, Carl, Helen, Alverta, and Martha of whom Carl is my father. My middle name is Carl after my father.

Tell me about yourself and your line.

You can reach me by addressing RCSnare as the prefix to the abbreviation for america online.

Glued in the bible is Henry's Obit notice. At the end of the Obit they mention: "Mr. Snare is survived by his wife and one daughter, Mrs. Thomas E. Africa and by two brothers, Cremiah and Jonathan, of Kalona Iowa and a sister Mrs. Alexander Parks of Entriken ....." Must be the same person mentioned in the other note (sister to the mother of Kate Kissinger of Marklesberg)

Sorry -- I'm really behind ! I was working in the Snare:Africa geneology a few years ago and had to put it aside ... I just started over again. I have Henry Snare's (b.1828) bible here ... inside are little newspaper clippings and hand written notes. One hand written note reads:
"Zack Snare - grandpa Snare's brother -- stone mason, lived in Marklesburg. Kate Kissinger lived on a farm near Maklesburg her mother was sister of grandpa Snare but I don't remember her name (the mother). Another sister lived near Entriken - Flora Parks,-M.G. Brumbaugh's second wife was her daughter".

Not sure if this helps you at all. I think the note was written by Martha Harshbarger Africa (wife of Henry Snare Africa who was the son of Anna Snare and Thomas Africa) ... Martha was my husband''s (Walter T Africa, II) grandmother.

Looking for research connection to Mary Ann Snare, born 1821 in Huntingdon County, Pennsylvania. Daughter of Conrad Snare and Anna Clark. Married Samuel Kissinger. Mary died in 1895. Looking to exchange information.

Re: Snare/Kissinger in Huntingdon County, PA

layers6974 — 2005-02-24 00:45:53Z

Good to hear from you. What's your Kissinger connection? You said you had a good bit of information on Grandpa Sam - I'd be interested in knowing what you have found.

Mary Ann Snare was born January 4, 1821 in Marklesburg, Huntingdon County, PA. She married Sam on October 6, 1842 in Marklesburg. You probably have the info on their 6 children. Lucinda was my great grandmother.

Mary Snare Kissinger died October 17, 1895 in Marklesburg and is buried next to Sam in the Reformed Church Cemetery. I have been back to their home and to the cemetery two different times.

If you know Huntingdon County, you know it is loaded with Snares. Mary's parents were Conrad Snare and Anna Elizabeth Clark.

I don't have Conrad's date of birth. It is estimated at 1796 in Pennsylvania. He married Anna Elizabeth Clark who apparently was also known as Nancy Ann Clark. She was born October 6, 1795 in one source and 1793 in another source. She is from Virginia.

Conrad and Anna had 8 children (according to my records). If you need more on the Snare children let me know. It kind of goes on forever.

Conrad Snare died July 1858 in Marklesburg and is buried at Paradise Furnace.

Anna Clark Snare died July 4,1874 in Marklesburg and is buried with Conrad.

I have Conrad's parents as John Schnerr and Ann _______. John Schnerr was born 1762. He was a ship builder and a farmer. He was injured young and is called a "humpback" in family records. He was born in Germany, lived and worked in Virginia, before settling in Penn Township.

Anna Clark's father was Tuck Clark.

I have pictures of Sam and Mary Kissinger and their kids if you are interested or don't have.

Boy am I glad I read your post! I also come from Conrad Snare and I never could find his wife. I have a good bit of information on Samuel Kissinger, but not on his wife Mary Snare. I do have her dates and their children, though. Do you have any more information on Anna Clark? Thanks.

Re: Snare/Kissinger in Huntingdon County, PA

2004-05-04 11:59:58Z

Sorry I haven't replied in a long time. I told you I had John Schnerr's parents, wife, and her parents...........well, my grandmother [my genealogy mentor :) ] and I found quite a few mistakes there and we're not even sure the wife we have is correct, so I better not send that info to you. I'm really sorry about that.
Glad that bio on Sam was helpful. It's from a book at my local library. I'm not sure the date it was published, but I'll find it next time I go.
I would be very interested in anything you have on Jesse Snare.

Hi there. Can't help with the geneology, but my grandfather David P Snare died in Huntingdon, PA in 1986. I can attempt some research from our end -- there's got to be a connection there somewhere.

David Snare of Blair County, Pennsylvania

2001-05-19 10:01:21Z

My grandfather, David Snare, was born on July 5, 1879 to Madison Snare and Suzanne (Waite) Snare. David married Emma Eastep and resided in Williamsburg, Pennsylvania until his death in 1946. I am unsure if my branch of the Snare's comes from the German branch named Schnerr. In the town of Willimasburg where I grew up there are many families named Snare with whom I can not trace a relationship. I am connected with people named Snare in Melbourne (Victoria) Australia and on the north shore of Tasmania, Australia. These people came from England and are named Snare. Linda Molosky traces her family to Schnerr living in Huntingdon, PA. My grandfather, David, had a brother living in Huntingdon. However, with Pennsylvania having many German immigrants and also English and Polish immigrants, the names Schnerr and Snare may have different roots confused by anyone who changed their name from Schnerr to Snare. I have not encountered the name Schnerr until Linda's response. If anyone has information post it here and also send it to ronald.snare@mindspring.com
