Jacob Snider and his family settled in Alpine, Kent County, Michigan, around 1837-1841, he was one of the first settlers in Alpine (Kent Co, Michigan) and had a farm next to the Platt/Plattee/Platter family (surname is written all 3 ways in several different documents).
John Snider / Snyder, Sr. and
his family landed at Ellis Island, New York shortly before or shortly after
his son John H. Snyder was born. All of the Snyder's can be found on on the
1850 and 1870 Alpine census as well as on
plat maps along with the Ebers, Rusche, and Platt (Plattee, or Platter) families
- they all seemed to live within a few farms of eachother.
There is a note on the 1850 Alpine census that says
the name Snyder was originally Snider on the 1840 Alpine census but we. By
the 1870 census it was just spelled Snyder with no mention of the other spelling.
The most information we have is of John H. Snyder, he moved his family to California sometime around 1890. They moved around and lived in several towns between San Francisco and Los Angeles before they finally settled in Stockton. Some of the Snyder family still resides there today.
Snyder Lithograph in Stockton was started by Lloyd Burton Snyder and is still run today by his family.
