Very soon after 1781 two brothers, Jacob and Nicholas Snyder, came into possession of three hundred and ten acres of land on the mineral spring laid down in Scull’s map of 1759.1...On the 19th of November. 1807, a deed of partition was made by the brothers, Nicholas and Jacob, and the land was divided. 

Jacob [Snyder] married the daughter of Henry Bauman, and in the division took the property on the creek, including the mill, and lived at the mill and kept it until his death, in 1813, aged fifty-three years. He left seven children,--Daniel, Mary C. (Mrs. John Kuntz), Jacob, John, Stephen, Simon, and Solomon.

Daniel [Synder], the eldest, was born in 1794, and emigrated to the West. Jacob [Snyder] married a daughter of Henry Bauman [?], lived at the mill about thirty years, and moved farther up the road, where he built a stone house. He became interested in the Evangelical Association, was prominent in the organization of the society, and building of the church in 1844. He became a local preacher in the Association, and later in life moved to Parryville, where he died. Stephen [Snyder] now resides at Parryville. Solomon [Snyder], the youngest son, owns the mill property and lives there.
