Looking for any/all info on James SNYDER (b. abt 1844), and his wife Clarissa YOHO (b.23 May 1847), both in Monroe County, from what I've been told up to now. I believe Clarissa's father was Daniel YOHO (b. 1806) who was married to Elizabeth HOWELL. James and Clarissa moved to Indiana and show up on the 1880 Perry County, Indiana census there with their children William, Zack, Elizabeth, Nancy, Melvina, Howard, and Sarah -- all born in Ohio. If my lineage on Clarissa is correct, it looks like I have that side back pretty far. My main frustration is discovering the parents/anything on James SNYDER. Thanks in advance for your help.
