There also was an Abraham G. SNYDER, born 13 Dec 1836, married 1 Jan 1861 to Matilda SPANGLE, born about 1843. This SPANGLE, SNYDER family also moved to Hamilton Co. Iowa. Could Samuel David SPANGLE, born 1849 and Matilda SPANGLE, born 1843 be brother and sister? Could Abraham SNYDER, born 1836, and Sarah SNYDER be brother & sister? (Sarah SNYDER VONNIEDA had a child in 1857.) I sure hope someone can solve my mystery about their relationships to each other and provide me with more data. Thanks, Janelle Martin
