The following excerpt is taken from a biograpical sketch about William Snider:
"The father of our subject, Jacob Snider, was born in Loudoun County, Va., where he was married to Mary Caylor, of whose family but little is known, excepting that her two brothers removed many years ago from Virginia to Ohio, and here died. About 1805, Jacob Snider and his wife, accompanied by their only child, started out from to Old Dominion to Ohio, and enroute hither stopped at Redstone, Pa., where our subject was born March 29, 1805. A few weeks later, they concluded their journey to the Buckeye State, where they settled in Ross County, not far from Frankfort. Two brothers of Mr. Snider, Henry and William, accompanied him to this State.
Four years after locating in Ross County, Mr. Snider, Sr., sold his property there and removed to Fayette County, where he bought one hundred and fifty acres four miles south of Washington Court House.
The father (Jacob Snider) was a Whig in his early days and afterward a Republican, and in his youth served in the War of 1812. For a number of years, he held the office of Commissioner of Fayette County, but was not anxious for official position, prefering the quietude of domestic life."
From the Loudoun Tax and Militia Lists:
Jacob Snider: b. 1779, age 16-17: 1795-1798 not on tax list, appears in 1799 living w/John Littlejohn.
During the War of 1812, Leesburg served as the temporary national archives of the United States. Faced with British invasion of Washington, D.C., the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution, congressional journals, George Washington's correspondence and other official documents were squirreled away in a vacant Leesburg house, with former county sheriff and Methodist pastor John Littlejohn keeping the keys.
