Here is an essential guide to the formation and historical highlights of 100 Tennessee counties in existence at the time of the work's original publication in 1923.

After the Civil War (1860-1865), many new areas of the country were opened up for settlement. John George Snyder and his wife, Sarah Stambaugh, were among the families that moved West, settling in Callaway County, Missouri, where they prospered. Over the passage of time, the ties to relatives back in Pennsylvania became blurred and often forgotten. Such was the case with the ancestors of John George Snyder. The only things left to work with in trying to extend the Snyder line backwards in time were John George's Bible, given to soldiers during the Civil War, and a handful of family photos. Because of the photographs, contact was made with another Snyder family researcher who was able to help piece together some of the family history. Much is still left to be uncovered. This book strives to give as many available facts as possible in the hope that future researchers will be able to trace the family tree further back. Also, information about John George Snyder's descendants has been outlined, including ties to other Callaway County families.
John W. Snyder (1781-1857) was born in New York. He married Elizabeth Kempf (1780-1867) in Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania. She was the daughter of Johann Matthias (Theiss) Kempf (1750-1820) who was born in Grosseifen, Germany. John and Elizabeth Snyder moved ca. 1830 to Ross County, Ohio. Descendants lived in Ohio, Illinois, Kansas, Oklahoma, and elsewhere.
Henry Snyder III was born ca. 1777 in Lancaster Co., Pennsylvania. He was a descendant of Jacob Snyder (or Schneider) who immigrated to America ca. 1739 and settled in Pennsylvania. Henry married Catharine Keplinger sometime prior to the year 1805. They lived in Boonsboro, Maryland and were the parents of seven known children. Descendants lived in Maryland, Ohio, Indiana, Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, Texas, Canada and elsewhere.
