   Other names for Georg were George Daniel Schneider ³ and Daniel Snyder.⁷

   FamilySearch ID: LHFY-1SW

  Death Notes:

Most genealogists derive his date of death from his will. However, since it may have been signed prior to his death, further confirmation is needed, perhaps confirming inscriptions on his tombstone.

  Noted events in his life were:

1. He immigrated to America in the ship Lydia sailing from Rotterdam, last from Dover, James Alien, master, and arrived on 27 Sep 1740 to Philadelphia, Philadelphia, PA. ^{8 9 10} On the ship's roster were 18-year old Johann Adam Schnyder and 19-year old Daniel Schnyder and their stepfather Hans Georg Brosius (age 42) with their mother. Traveling with them is Christoph Geist (age 23) whose son later marries Daniel's granddaughter; the Geists later settle into Northumberland County with the Schneiders. The ship also carried Johann Gerhard Schnyder (age 42) and Arnold Scheider (age 22); further research can reveal if they were related.

Our Keystone Families
by SCHUYLER BROSSMAN
The following information was sent to me by Lucille Procious of Route 1, Box 64, New Bethlehem, Pa. 16242, who thought it might be shared through this column since there is so much interest in these families of Brosius and Schneider, as well as related families through marriage.
In addition, we owe a word of thanks to Maryln J. Wolever of Route 1, Box 111H, Gaston, Oregon 97119, who has helped to organize these notes into a form for more easy reading.
For years, researchers have felt there was a connection between the Schneider and Brosius families of western Berks County, Pa. because of entries in the records of the Rev. Johan Casper Stoever. Lucille Procious has uncovered that relationship from the Latter Day Saints (Mormon) microfilm rolls, 489840 and 493273.
The immigrant was Johann George Brosius, b 1694 and baptized 10 Feb 1694 at Weierbach, Rhineland, Germany. He arrived at Philadelphia on 27 Sep 1740 on the ship "Lydia." With him was his wife, Ann Catharine Simon, b 26 Sep 1692 at Unter Jeckenbach. She was the widow of Abraham [Schneider], who died about 1723-24. With him were at least three of his children and three stepchildren.
He settled west of present day Rehrersburg in Tulpehocken Township, Berks County, Pa. and received a patent for 205 acres on 5 Dec 1750 in what was then known as the Manor of Andulhea. He was naturalized on 8 Mar 1742 in Lancaster County, Pa. (Berks was not formed until 1752.) He and his wife died in Berks County, Pa. Johann George after 1762.

Column #1046, Oct. 1986 contained information on the Brosius and Schneider families of Berks and Northumberland Co., Pa. After years of searching, by many people, it had been found by Lucille Prosious of New Bethlehem, Pa., that John George Brosius had come from Weierbach and George Daniel Schneider from Herrensulzbach, Rheinland, Germany. George Daniel was the stepson of John George Brosius, Daniel's father and died ca. 1723/24 and his mother, Anna Catharina (Simon) had remarried John George Brosius 31 Oct 1724, at Fischbach. They along with three Brosius and several Schneider children came to America 27 Sep 1740 on the Ship Lydia at Philadelphia. George Brosius settled in Tulphochen Twp. and Geo. Dan. in Bethel Twp., Berks Co.
The information given on Anna Catharine Simon bpt. 26 Sep 1692 at Herrensulzbach as dau. of Johann Adam Simon, s/o Johann Peter, b. 30 Nov 1664 and wife Anna Catharina Hoehn, d/o Johann Thomas, b. 16 Aug 1674 and m 27 Apr 1688, all at Herrensulzbach.
After searching the microfilmed records of the church at Herrensulzbach (Film No. 493273 - Salt Lake) and also these same records on the Family History Center Library computer, I believe this ancestry as given is incorrect. It is found that the above marriage of Johann Adam Simon in 1688 does not say to Anna Catharina Hoehn, but to Maria Catharina Hoehn d/o Johnn Thomas. The bpt. record on 16 Aug 1674 says Johnn Thomas Hoehn and Anna Amalia had a dau. named ( )aria, (the M is missing in the center of the book). The records have been searched and no dau. Anna Catharina can be found for Thomas and Amalia Hoehn.
It was found that there were two men by name of Johann Adam Simon marrying about the same time and both having children bpt. at this church. The other Johann Adam Simon s/o Sebastion from Homberg, m. 6 Nov 1683 Anna Catharina Stilgenbauer, d/o Johannes from Hopstatten. Bpt. on 26 Sep 1692 was Anna Catharina d/o Hanns Adam Simon and Anna Catharine, from Ober Jeckenbach. Herrensulzbach church was the parish church and served many of the surrounding small villages. Hanss Adam Simon s/o Sebastian and Maria was bpt. 28 Oct 1658. Sebastian Simon of Langweiler and Maria Schoenen d/o Johannes were m 5 Feb 1656.
John Adam Simon and Anna Catharina had children bpt from 1684-1702 and Johnn Adam and Maria Catharina had them from 1691-1703. They both had a son, Johan Adam, bpt. in 1695.
In light of the fact that the church record does say, in 1674 Maria Catharina d/o Johann Thomas Hoehn and the mar. record in 1688 also says Maria Catharina and she would have been only 14 years of age at mar. I believe that Anna Catharina Stilgenbauer is the Mother of Anna Catharina Simon who mar. (1) Abraham Schneider 19 Apr 1712 and (2) Johan George Brosius 31 Oct 1724.
More on the ancestry of George Daniel Schneider is found in these records. He was bpt. 26 Dec 1721, s/o Johann Abraham, b 15 Jan bpt. 17 Jan in the home because of extreme cold. Johann Abraham m. Anna Catharina Simon. Parents of Abraham were Johann Stephan Schneider, s/o Adam, and Maria Otilia Schneider, d/o Sebastian Schneider of Homberg and wife Anna Margaretha Gerhad, d/o Philip of Homberg. Stephan and Otilia m 23 Oct 1683 and Sebastian, s/o Johann, and Margaretha mar. 27 Nov 1655.
Ray Diffenbach of Elizabethtown, Pa. helped with translation of these records.
Also in these records is the marriage on 10 Feb. 1711 of Johann Nickel Brussi s/o Niclos of Weierbach and Anna Elisabetha d/o Johann Adam Simon and Anna Catharina, from Ober Jeckenbach, they being the brother and sister of John George and Anna Catharina (Simon, Schneider) Brosius.
