Living in Osnaburg Twp., Stark Co., Ohio in 1829. David is the elusive one of the 13 children. He allegedly moved from Stark Co., Ohio on to Delaware Co., Indiana but no trace has yet been found to document his final resting place.

In the Canton (Stark Co., Ohio) Repository dated 11MAY1837 there is an obituary for a David Snyder of Nimishillen Twp., who died on the first of May 1837. Subtracting 78 from 1837 gives a birth date of 1759 which is within the estimated birth date for David.
