Benjamin married Sarah S. "Sally" Thompson (Kern 1938). She was born 29 June 1815 in New York and died 25 February 1881, age 65 years, 8 months and 28 days (Schuyler County, New York GenWeb–cemetery transcript). Their household appears on the 1840 census in the Town of Hector under the name of Ogden Snyder. There were three individuals living in the household, Benjamin, Sarah and their daughter Sarah, who was around two years of age. According to the census, one member of the household was engaged in agriculutre (1840 United States Federal Census, Town of Hector, Tompkins County, New York, page 436-437). In 1850, Benjamin and Sally Thompson still lived in the Town of Hector. Benjamin was a farmer, he possessed real estate valued at $2,200. The couple had one child in 1850, their daughter Sarah (1850 United Sates Federal Census, Town of Hector, Tompkins County, New York, page 387B, 30 July 1850). In 1854, Schuyler County was created from a part of Tompkins County. The Town of Hector became part of the new county. By 1870, Benjamin and Sarah were living with their married daughter Sarah and her husband James Perry in the Town of Hector. Benjamin was the head of household. He and James were both farmers. Benjamin owned real estate valued at $5,000 and a personal estate valued at $1,500. The family had a domestic servant named Mariah Smith. She was a 15 year old native of New York. The Snyders and Perrys lived in close proximity to many members of the extended Vaughn family. The Sndyer household was dwelling 244, Benjamin's first cousin Ursula Vaughn Morris lived with her husband and in-laws in dwelling 245, his father and two sisters (Mary and Susanna) lived in dwelling 246, his first cousin Rachel Vaughn Allen lived in dwelling 248 and his first cousin Amos Ogden Vaughn lived in dwelling 249 (1870 United Sates Federal Census, Town of Hector, Schuyler County, New York, page 528, 15 June 1870). Benjamin and Sarah were still on their farm in the Town of Hector in 1880. Their daughter Sarah Perry and her husband still lived in the household. Benjamin's younger sister Susannah also lived with the family. Both Benjamin Snyder and James Perry worked as farmers (1880 United Sates Federal Census, Enumeration District 147, 3rd Election District, Town of Hector, Schuyler County, New York, page 359C, 10 June 1880). Sarah Snyder died the year after the census was taken. Benjamin lived for another eight years. They were buried in Hector Union Cemtery, Town of Hector, Schuyler County, New York (Schuyler County, New York GenWeb–cemetery transcript). Child of Benjamin Ogden Snyder and Sarah Thompson:
2544. (i.) SARAH E. SNYDER5, was born circa 1838 probably in the Town of Hector, Tompkins (now Schuyler) County, New York and died unknown. She appears on the 1840 census as a female under the age of five who was a resident of the household of Ogden Snyder (1840 United States Federal Census, Town of Hector, Tompkins County, New York, page 436-437). In 1850, she lived with her parents in the Town of Hector, New York (1850 United Sates Federal Census, Town of Hector, Tompkins County, New York, page 387B, 30 July 1850). She married after 1850, James Perry. He was born 1829 in New York and died 1901 (Schuyler County, New York GenWeb–cemetery transcript). In 1870, Sarah and James lived with Sarah's parents in the Town of Hector, which had become part of Schuyler County when it was created in 1854. James was a farmer, as was his father-in-law Benjamin Snyder. Benjamin owned the land that the two men worked together. James owned a personal estate valued at $1,000 (1870 United Sates Federal Census, Town of Hector, Schuyler County, New York, page 528, 15 June 1870). In 1880, James and Sarah Perry still lived with Sarah's parents in the Town of Hector. James continued to work the farm with his father-in-law Benjamin Snyder (1880 United Sates Federal Census, Enumeration District 147, 3rd Election District, Town of Hector, Schuyler County, New York, page 359C, 10 June 1880). The couple did not have children in 1870 or 1880. James died in 1901 and was buried in Hector Union Cemetery, Town of of Hector Schuyler County, New York (Schuyler County, New York GenWeb–cemetery transcript).
188. (iii.) CATHERINE "KATY" ANN SNYDER4, was born 3 May 1815, in Sussex (now Warren) County, New Jersey and died 2 September 1849 probably in the Town of Hector, Tompkins (now Schuyler) County, New York (Kern 1938; Schuyler County, New York GenWeb–cemetery transcript). Katy migrated to New York with her family when she was about ten years old. She appears on the 1830 census in the household of Isaac Snyder of the Town of Hector, Tompkins County, New York as a female between the ages of 15 and 19 (1830 United States Federal Census, Town of Hector, Tompkins County, New York, page 396). She married Henry Kimble, the son of Rachel Vaughn and William Kimball (Kern 1938). His mother and Katy's mother were step-sisters. Henry was born 16 June 1811 in New York and died 12 May 1866 in the Town of Hector, Schuyler County, New York. Their household appears on the 1840 census in the Town of Hector. There were six individuals living in the household: Henry, Katy, and their daughter Almira and son Gustavus. There were two other individuals in the household, a male and a female, both between the ages of 11 and 15. Their identity is currently unknown. It is possible that these two individuals were hired help. According to the census, one member of the household was engaged in agriculture (1840 United States Federal Census, Town of Hector, Tompkins County, New York, page 436-437). Katy died in 1849 and was buried in Burdett Presbyterian Church Cemetery, Burdett, Town of Hector, Tompkins (now Schuyler) County, New York (Schuyler County, New York GenWeb–cemetery transcript). In 1850, Henry was a widower living with his three children in the Town of Hector. He owned real estate valued at $4,600 (1850 United States Federal Census, Town of Hector, Tompkins County, New York, page 387, 30 July 1850). Henry married a second time after Katy's death. His second wife was his first cousin, Deborah Kimble. Deborah was born 10 June 1822 and died 21 September 1896. The couple had two children, Ophelia and Emily (use the link to Henry's name to access full detais of his children by Deborah). After Henry's death in 1866, Deborah married Phineas Catlin. Henry's will was written on 19 October 1865. He appointed M.F. Brodrick of Havana, New York as executor. His witnesses were John A. Charles and Frederick F. Mills, also of Havana. Henry named his wife Deborah and his four surviving children: Almira, Benjamin O., Ophelia I. and Emily J. Kimbel (Schuyler County, New York GenWeb–will). Henry died 12 May 1866 of heart and lung disease. He was 54 years old. His death was reported in the Havana, New York Republican. Henry Kimble was buried with his first wife Katy in Burdett Presbyterian Church Cemetery (Schuyler County, New York GenWeb–cemetery transcript). Deborah was buried in Highland/Mitchell/Mitchell Hollow Cemetery, Town of Montour, Schuyler County, New York. Children of Catherine Snyder and Henry Kimball:
2703. (i.) ALMIRA KIMBLE5, was born 1839 probably in the Town of Hector, Tompkins (now Schyuler) County, New York and died 1914, possibly in Elmira, New York. She appears on the 1840 census as a female under the age of five who was a resident of the household of Henry Kimble (1840 United States Federal Census, Town of Hector, Tompkins County, New York, page 436-437). In 1850, Almira lived with her widowed father and two younger brothers in the Town of Hector, Tompkins County, New York. The census places her age at 12, she was not attending school. Almira may have been keeping house for her father, as her mother had recently died (1850 United States Federal Census, Town of Hector, Tompkins County, New York, page 387, 30 July 1850). Almira's father did in 1866. She is one of the four children listed in his will, which was admitted for probate on 21 September 1866. The four children were Elmira and her brother Benjamin O. Kimbel, and their half-sisters Ophelia I. and Emily J. Kimbel (Schuyler County, New York GenWeb–will transcript). In 1870, Almira lived with Buel and Marian Sackett (both age 41) and their son Allen B. Sackett (age 10). The Sackett's owned a farm in the Town of Hector, which was now part of Schuyler County. Almira was not quite 30 years old, but according to the census she was an invalid. The census gives a value of $1,500 for her personal estate (1870 United Sates Federal Census, Town of Hector, Schuyler County, New York, page 520, 17 June 1870). Almira does not appear on the 1880 census as living in the state of New York. However, an Elmira Kimble, age 40, does appear on the 1880 census as a boarder in the household of Peter Lanterman of Blairstown Township, Warren County, New York. Elmira Kimble was born in New York, as was her father. But, her mother was born in New Jersey. It is possible that Almira Kimble returned to Blairstown to see the area where her mother and grandparents were from (1880 United States Federal Census, Enumeration District 191, Blairstown Township, Warren County, New Jersey, page 289A, 9 June 1880).
2704. (ii.) GUSTAVUS A. KIMBLE5, was born 1840 probably in the Town of Hector, Tompkins (now Schuyler) County, New York and died before 19 October 1865. He appears on the 1840 census as a male under the age of five who was a resident of the household of Henry Kimble (1840 United States Federal Census, Town of Hector, Tompkins County, New York, page 436-437). In 1850, he lived with his father and siblings on their farm in the Town of Hector, New York. Gustavus and his brother Benjamin attended school together during the census year (1850 United States Federal Census, Town of Hector, Tompkins County, New York, page 387, 30 July 1850). Gustavus is not named in his father's will, which was written on 19 October 1865 and admitted for probate on 21 September 1866. The will named Gustavus's sister Elmira, his brother Benjamin and his half-sisters Ophelia and Emily; but not Gustavus. It is assumed that Gustavus had died by the time his father wrote his will.
2705. (iii.) BENJAMIN O. KIMBLE5, was born circa 1845 probably in the Town of Hector, Tompkins (now Schuyler) County, New York and died after 19 October 1865. In 1850, he lived with his father and siblings on their farm in the Town of Hector, New York. Benjamin and his brother Gustavus attended school together during the census year (1850 United States Federal Census, Town of Hector, Tompkins County, New York, page 387, 30 July 1850). Benjamin's father, Henry Kimble died in 1866. Benjamin is one of the four children listed in Henry's will. The will was dated 19 October 1865 and was admitted for probate on 21 September 1866. The four children named in the will were Benjamin O. Kimbel, his sister Almira, and their half-sisters Ophelia I. and Emily J. Kimbel (Schuyler County, New York GenWeb–will transcript).
189. (iv.) JOSEPH G. SNYDER4, was born 13 February 1818 in Sussex (now Warren) County, New Jersey and died 21 October 1848, probably in the Town of Hector, Tompkins (now Schuyler) County, New York (Kern 1938; Schuyler County, New York GenWeb–cemetery transcript). Joseph migrated to New York with his family when he was about seven years old. He appears on the 1830 census in the household of Isaac Snyder of the Town of Hector, Tompkins County, New York as a male between the ages of 10 and 14 (1830 United States Federal Census, Town of Hector, Tompkins County, New York, page 396). He was still a resident of his parents's household in 1840, appearing on the census as a male between the ages of 20 and 29 (1840 United States Federal Census, Town of Hector, Tompkins County, New York, page 436-437). Joseph married after 1840, Sarah Ann Kimble (Kern 1938), who was known as Sally. She was born 3 April 1819 in New York and died 1908 (Schuyler County, New York GenWeb–cemetery transcript). In 1850, Sally Ann Snyder was a widow. She resided with her late husband's parents, Isaac and Sarah Snyder in the Town of Hector, New York (1850 United Sates Federal Census, Town of Hector, Tompkins County, New York, page 387B, 30 July 1850). There are no children listed with Sally Ann Snyder in the census, hence it is assumed that she and Joseph either did not have children, or that none of their children survived. Sally Ann was still single in 1870. She supported herself by working as a housekeeper in the household of William Vaughn, her late husband's uncle. William Vaughn was 64 yers old in 1870. He also had a farm laborer named Lester Bunch living in the household. Bunch was 19 years old. He was born in New York to parents who were recent immigrants (1870 United Sates Federal Census, Town of Hector, Schuyler County, New York, page 522, 9 June 1870). Sally Ann was still William Vaughn's housekeeper in 1880. William's farm was still in the Town of Hector. He had one hired boy, a 24 year old man named Charles Egan. Charles was born in Pennsylvania, his father was from Ireland and his mother was from New York (1880 United States Federal Census, Enumeration District 147, 3rd Election District, Town of Hector, Schuyler County, New York, page 359D, 10 June 1880). Joseph and Sally Ann Snyder are buried in Burdett Presbyterian Church Cemetery, Burdett, Town of Hector Schuyler County, New York (Schuyler County, New York GenWeb–cemetery transcript).
190. (v.) HANNAH V. SNYDER4, was born 9 June 1820, in Sussex (now Warren) County, New Jersey and died 23 December 1896 (Schuyler County, New York GenWeb–cemetery transcript). She appears to have been named after her maternal grandmother, Hannah Read Ogden Vaughn. Hannah migrated to New York with her family when she was about five years old. She appears on the 1830 census in the household of Isaac Snyder of the Town of Hector, Tompkins County, New York as a female between the ages of 10 and 14 (1830 United States Federal Census, Town of Hector, Tompkins County, New York, page 396). She was still a resident of her parents's household in 1840, appearing on the census as a female between the ages of 15 and 19—she turned 20 eight days after the offical census birth date of 1 June 1840 (1840 United States Federal Census, Town of Hector, Tompkins County, New York, page 436-437). Hannah married after 1850, Erastus S. Hovey (Kern 1938), the son of Ebenezer and Mary Hovey of the Townsend Settlement in Tompkins (now Schuyler) County. He was born circa 1814 in Vermont and died 28 March 1875, age 62 years (Schuyler County, New York GenWeb–cemetery transcript). In 1850, Erastus and Hannah lived in the Town of Catherine, Tompkins County, New York. Erastus was farmer, he owned real estate valued at $1,600. The couple had one child, a son name Jonathan. Sixteen year old Abram Adamy also lived with the family. The census indicates that he was a farmer (1850 United States Federal Census, Town of Catherine, Tompkins County, New York, page 81A). By 1870, Erastus and Hannah had returned to the Town of Hector in Schuyler County. They lived adjacent to their son Jonathan. Both Erastus and Jonathan were farmers. No real estate or personal estate value is listed in the census for Erastus. All values are given to Jonathan. It is possible that Erastus and Hannah had signed the estate over to Jonathan by 1870 (1870 United Sates Federal Census, Town of Hector, Schuyler County, New York, page 519). Erastus died in 1875 (Schuyler County, New York GenWeb–cemetery transcript). In 1880, Hannah lived adjacent to her son Jonathan in the Town of Hector, Schuyler County, New York (1880 United States Federal Census, Enumeration District 147, 3rd Election District, Town of Hector, Schuyler County, New York, page 359C, 10 June 1880).

2795. (i.) JONATHAN P. HOVEY5, was born 1844 in New York and died 1914. In 1850, he lived with his parents in the Town of Catherine, Tompkins County, New York (1850 United States Federal Census, Town of Catherine, Tompkins County, New York, page 81A). He married Sarah L. Irish, she was born 23 June 1838 in New York and died 12 March 1884, age 45 years, 8 months, 19 days. In 1870, the couple live adjacent to Jonathan's parents in the Town of Hector. Jonathan was a farmer. He owned real estate valued at $6,000 and a personal estate valued at $3,000. His father had no real estate value associated with his listing in the census, so it is possible that Erastus had already assigned the farm to Jonathan (1870 United Sates Federal Census, Town of Hector, Schuyler County, New York, page 519). In 1880, Jonathan and Sarah still lived in the Town of Hector. Jonathan's mother lived adjacent to them. Other members of Jonathan's household included their daughter Catherine and 18 year old Fred Withiam who worked as a farm laborer on the Hovey farm. Sarah's sister 48 year old Permelia Irish also lived with the family (1880 United States Federal Census, Enumeration District 147, 3rd Election District, Town of Hector, Schuyler County, New York, page 359C, 10 June 1880). Permelia was single. In 1870, she had been a domesic servant in the home of Ephraim and Anne C. Morris in the Town of Hector. Ephraim and Anne's son Isaac and his wife Ursula V. Morris also lived in the household. Ursula V. Morris and Hannah V. Hovey were first cousins (1870 United Sates Federal Census, Town of Hector, Schuyler County, New York, page 528, 15 June 1870).

SNYDER4, was born 9 May 1823, in Sussex (now Warren) County, New Jersey and died 18 July 1886 in Burdett, Town of Hector, Schuyler, New York (Schuyler County, New York GenWeb–cemetery transcript). She was the last of Isaac and Sarah Snyder's children to be born in New Jersey. Mary may have been named after her maternal grandmother, Maria Elizabeth Schneider. She migrated to New York with her family when she was about two years old. Mary appears on the 1830 census in the household of Isaac Snyder of the Town of Hector, Tompkins County, New York as a female between the ages of 5 and 9 (1830 United States Federal Census, Town of Hector, Tompkins County, New York, page 396). She was still a resident of her parents's household in 1840, appearing on the census as a female between the ages of 15 and 19 (1840 United States Federal Census, Town of Hector, Tompkins County, New York, page 436-437). In 1850, Mary lived with her parents, her sister Susanna, brother Abram and widowed sister-in-law Sally Ann Snyder (wife of the late Joseph Snyder) on the family farm in the Town of Hector, New York (1850 United Sates Federal Census, Town of Hector, Tompkins County, New York, page 387B, 30 July 1850).

In 1880, Mary and William lived in the village of Havanna in the Town of Montour, Schuyler County, new York. William was a retired merchant. According to the census he was blind and he was disabled by "old age". Mary was 58 years old and was "keeping house" with the aid of a 32 year old domestic servant named Catherine McDonald. She was born in New York, the daughter of Irish immigrants. William's son Henry W. Jackson also lived in the household. He was 50 years old and was a retired broker (1880 United States Federal Census, Enumeration District 149, Village of Havanna, Town of Montour, Schuyler County, New York, page , 12 June 1880). Mary died six years after the census was taken and was buried in Burdett Presbyterian Church Cemetery, Burdett, Schuyler County, New York (Schuyler County, New York GenWeb–cemetery transcript).

SNYDER4, was born 17 March 1826, in the Town of Hector, Tompkins (now Schuyler) County, New York and died 3 July 1911, Schuyler County, New York (Schuyler County, New York GenWeb–cemetery transcript). She was the first of Isaac and Sarah Snyder's children to be born in New York. Susanna appears on the 1830 census in the household of Isaac Snyder of the Town of Hector, Tompkins County, New York as a female under the age of 5 (1830 United States Federal Census, Town of Hector, Tompkins County, New York, page 396). She was still a resident of her parents's household in 1840, appearing on the census as a female between the ages of 10 and 14 (1840 United States Federal Census, Town of Hector, Tompkins County, New York, page 436-437). In 1850, she lived with her parents, her sister Mary, brother Abram and sister-in-law Sally Ann Snyder (wife of the late Joseph Snyder) on the family farm in the town of Hector, New York (1850 United Sates Federal Census, Town of Hector, Tompkins County, New York, page 387B, 30 July 1850). She was still unmarried in 1870 and at home with her widowed father. Her older sister Mary also lived with the family. Susanna's young nephew, 4 year old Clarence F. Snyder, also lived with the family part of the time. Clarence was the son of Susanna's younger brother Abram and his wife Marion (1870 United Sates Federal Census, Town of Hector, Schuyler County, New York, page 528, 15 June 1870). Susanna lived with her brother Benjamin O. Snyder in 1880. Benjamin and his wife Sarah owned a farm in the Town of Hector. Benjamin's daughter Sarah Perry and her husband James also lived in the household (1880 United States Federal Census, Enumeration District 145, 3rd Election District, Town of Hector, Schuyler County, New York, page 359C, 10 June 1880). Susanna never married (Kern 1938). She died in 1911 and was buried in Burdett Presbyterian Church Cemetery, Burdett, Town of Hector, Schuyler County, New York (Schuyler County, New York GenWeb–cemetery transcript).

SNYDER4, was born 3 March 1829 in the Town of Hector, Tompkins (now Schuyler) County, New York and died 7 August 1919 in Schuyler County, New York (Schuyler County, New York GenWeb–cemetery transcript). Abram appears on the 1830 census in the household of Isaac Snyder of the Town of Hector, Tompkins County, New York as a male under the age of 5 (1830 United States Federal Census, Town of Hector, Tompkins County, New York, page 396). He was still a resident of his parents's household in 1840, appearing on the census as a male between the ages of 10 and 14 (1840 United States Federal Census, Town of Hector, Tompkins County, New York, page 436-437).

Abram married after 1850, Helen "Marion" Van Court (Kern 1938). She was born 1836 in Steuben County, New York and died in 1899. Abram L. Snyder appears on a list of men living in the Town of Hector, 61st Sub-District in 1863. His age was given as 34 and his occupation as farmer (Schuyler County, New York GenWeb-Census and Directory List). In 1870, Abram and Marion lived in the town of Hector, Schuyler County, New York. Abram was employed as a farmer. He owned real estate valued at $9,000 and a personal estate valued at $2,100 (1870 United Sates Federal Census, Town of Hector, Schuyler County, New York, page 567, 29 July 1870). In 1880, Marion was not a resident of the household, but Abram's marital status was given as married. Abram lived with his sons Joseph, Ellsworth, and Clarence and his daughter Hermis in the Town of Hector. Emma Cox was the family's housekeeper. She was a 30 year old native of New York. According to the census Emma was married, although no husband appears in the census with her. Abram Snyder did not have an occupation listed for him in the census (1880 United States Federal Census, Enumeration District 145, 1st Election District, Town of Hector, Schuyler County, New York, page 337A, 18 June 1880). According to Kern (1938), Abram eventually became a music teacher in Trumansburg, New York.

The 1880 census lists this individual as Hermis and states that she was a daughter of Abram L. Snyder. She attended school during the 1880 census year (1880 United States Federal Census, Enumeration District 145, 1st Election District, Town of Hector, Schuyler County, New York, page 337A, 18 June 1880).
834. (vi.) BENJAMIN SNYDER5, was born 1878, in Schuyler County, New York and died 1880, possibly in Schuyler County, New York. He is buried in Seneca Union/Valois Cemetery North Center 134–1, in the Town of Hector, Schuyler County, New York (Schuyler County, New York GenWeb–cemetery transcript).
Sarah or "Sally" Ogden was born 18 November 1792, in Sussex (now Warren) County, New Jersey. She was the second daughter and youngest of the four children of Benjamin Ogden and Hannah Read. Her father died 26 August 1794 (Armstrong 1979; Union Brick Cemetery), when Sally was 21 months old. Benjamin's will left Hannah use of all of his real and personal property until their children came of age. When the children came of age the estate was to be sold. One third of the proceeds were to go to Hannah and the other two thirds was to be divided among the children. The sons were to receive two shares each, while the daughters eached received one share. None of the Ogden children were specifically named in Benjamin's will which was written on 9 May 1792 six months before Sally was born (Sussex County Surrogate Court Records, hereinafter SCSCR, Wills, Liber 36, folio 124).
Hannah Read Ogden married again, less than a year after Benjamin died. Benjamin had left her a very modest estate of £205.8.1 and Hannah had four young children to raise.Her second husband, the Rev. Daniel Vaughn was the pastor of Knowlton Baptist Church. The church was located in Knowlton Township within the bounds of what is now Union Brick Cemetery (currently in Blairstown Township). Daniel Vaughn had at least 10 living children in 1795, three of whom were married. His married children were: Elizabeth France (born 1767), Jacob Vaughn (born 1769), and Rachel Kimble (born 1772). The unmarried children included Richard (born 1774), Daniel (born 1777), Lydia (born 1778), Sarah (born 1780), Rhoda (born 1783), Dinah (born 1785), and John Vaughn (born 1792). Another son, David Vaughn, was born in 1790 and died young, it is not known if he was still living in 1795. The blended Ogden/Vaughn households included 11 children between the ages of 21 and 3. Daniel and Hannah had seven more children after they married. The first of these, Samuel Vaughn, arrived in December 1795, when Sally Ogden and John Vaughn were both three years old. Samuel was followed by Benjamin (1798), Azubah (1801), Hannah (1803), Phebe (1805), William (1806) and Amanda (1809).
Sally Ogden's step-father, Daniel Vaughn, died on 29 May 1810 (Union Brick Cemetery). Sally was 17 years old when he died. She married Isaac Snyder within the next two years. Their first son, John Snyder, was born on 8 November 1812. Isaac was the son of Johannes and Maria Elizabeth Schneider (Kern 1938). He was born 15 June 1792 in Sussex County. Although Sally was married by late 1812, she is named as Sarah Ogden in the will of her grandfather Gabriel Ogden. The will was written in 1813 and was admitted for probate in 1816. Gabriel named "Amos Ogden, Joseph Ogden, Jr., Mary Howell and Sarah Ogden, children of Benjamin" in his will (SCSCR File 1502S). Gabriel's will would seem to imply that Sally was not married. It gives her sister Mary's married name (Howell). But it does not give Sally's surname as Snyder. Sally was married by the time Gabriel wrote his will. She and Isaac had one child in Novemeber 1812 and were expecting their second child in 1813 (this child was born in May 1814). Why Gabriel used one granddaughter's married name and not the other granddaughter's married name is unclear.
Isaac and Sally Snyder initially made their home in Sussex County. Their first child, John, was born there in November 1812. He died in Sussex County shortly after his third birthday. Five other children were also born in Sussex County: Benjamin (born 1814), Katy (born 1816), Joseph (born 1818), Hannah (born 1820) and Mary (born 1823). In 1825, the Snyder family migrated to the Town of Hector in Tompkins County, New York (Kern 1938). They joinned Sally's extended family in this venture. Sally's mother Hannah Read Ogden Vaughn settled in the Town of Hector, as did her half-siblings Samuel Vaughn, Hannah Vaughn Owens, William Vaughn and Amanda Vaughn Thompson. Three of her step-sisters and their husbands also settled in The Town of Hector: Rachel Vaughn Kimble, Rhoda Vaughn Brown and Dinah Vaughn Owens. Other family members settled in other areas of Tompkins county. Sally's brother Amos Ogden settled in the Town of Danby, and three of their half-sisters also settled in the county: Azubah Vaughn Teeter in the Town of Groton, Phebe Vaughn Owens in the Town of Catherine, and Sarah Vaughn Manning in Ithaca. Sally's step-sister Lydia Manning also settled in New York state. Very few members of the Ogden/Vaughn family remained in Warren and Sussex Counties, New Jersey. They were Sally's brother Joseph Ogden (who eventually moved to Pennsylvania in the 1830s), her half-brother Benjamin Vaughn, and her step-siblings Eliabeth France, Richard Vaughn and Daniel Vaughn. Sally's sister Mary Ogden Howell left the United States in 1809 and settled in Jerseyville, Wentworth County, Ontario, Canada. Where Sally's step-brothers Jacob and John Vaughn settled is unclear.
Sally and Isaac Snyder had two additional children after they arrived in New York: Susanna (born 1826) and Abram (born 1829). By the time the 1830 census was enumerated Isaac and Sally had seven living children. The census lists the Snyders as residents of the Town of Hector in Tompkins County, New York (see Table 1).

The census gives Hannah V. Snyder's age as 15 to 19 years of age. She was 19 years old on 1 June 1840 (the offical cut-off date for birthdays in the census), she turned 20 eight days later. According to the census there were seven members in the household, two of whom were engaged in agriculture. These were probably Isaac and Joseph. The Snyders continued to be surrounded by family in 1840. The census lists the following members of the extended family on page 346: line 3 William Vaughn (Sally's youngest half brother), line 5 Ananias C. Thompson (husband of Sally's youngest half-sister Amanda Vaughn), line 6 Ogden Snyder (Isaac and Sally's eldest surviving son Benjami Ogden Snyder), line 8 Isaac and Sally Snyder, line 9 Ephraim Morris (the future father in-law of Ursula and Erie Vaughn, the children of William Vaughn), line 10 Henry Kimball (husband of Isaac and Sally's daughter Katy Snyder), and line 13 Samuel Vaughn (Sally's eldest half-brother).
In 1850, the Snyders resided in the Town of Hector, Tompkins County, New York. Isaac was a farmer. His real estate was valued at $4,300. Three of the couple's children (Mary, Susanna, and Abam) resided with them, as well as their daughter-in-law Sally Ann Snyder, widow of their late son Joseph (1850 United Sates Federal Census, Town of Hector, Tompkins County, New York, page 387B, 30 July 1850). Joseph Snyder died in 1848. The Snyder's eldest daughter Katy Kimball died in 1849. Their son Benjamin and their daughter Hannah were married. Benjamin lived close to his parents in the Town of Hector. Hannah and her husband Erastus Hovey lived in the Town of Catherine in Tompkins County.
