1. Margaretha b.2/2/1729 in Europe Baptized 6/8/1735 d.1801 m.Frederick Sparr (b.1725-Germany d.1787) on 4/16/1750.
2. Elisabetha b.7/15/1732 Baptized 6/8/1735 m.Henry Weber(?).
3. (Johann) Jacob b.3/25/1735 Baptized 6/8/1735 d.1829 m.Anna Maria <Unknown> Reference (1) follows this branch many more generations, the Dale Beavans family tree even farther.
4. (Johann) Christian b.3/8/1738 Baptized 4/3/1738 d.1824 m.Elizabeth <Unknown> See IV-A below.
5. (Johann) Philipp b.2/15/1741 Baptized 4/17/1741 d.1799 m.Dorothy Miller or Meuller (sister of Eleanor below).
6. (Johann?) Michael 5/9/1745 Baptised <Unknown> d.9/2/1831 (buried at the New Holland Cemetary) m.Eleanor Miller or Meuller (sister of Dorothy above). See IV-B Below!!

Notes:

1. Johan Christian (and many others) were part of the "Palatine" migration from the area defined by the German/Swiss border in Europe in the early 1700s. He died in 1793 (per a filed Will) in New Holland, Lancaster County, Pa. Johan Christian and Susanna are buried at the New Holland Cemetary.
2. Christian emigrated on the ship "Allen" (2) (3) and arrived in Philadelphia from Rotterdam (via Cowes on the Isle of Wright, England) in September, 1729 with Jacob (Discussion1); "Matheis" (Mathias); "Magdelin"; and Susanna Schneider (Snyder) and many others.
3. There is some conflicting data in references (1) and (2) versus (3) (4) (5) and (6) with repect to which Schneiders/Snyders emigrated when. This can be clarified by reviewing the transcripts of the ship lists (3) and (7).
4. To confuse the issue even further, another "Christian Schneider" had already arrived in Pennsylvania in 1727 on the ship "William and Sarah" (7) (He settled in New Jersey?) and is sometimes confused with the Christian noted above.
5. A "Jacob Schneider" arrived on ship "Phoenix" in 1749.
6. Lastly, reference (15) lists a "Johannes Schneder" arriving on ship "Anderson" in Philadelphia (from Rotterdam via Portsmouth) on September 27, 1752.

Issues: There is much confusion about the arrival and subsequent fate of the five above listed Schneiders. It is not known if the three men were brothers (or related at all) but Susanna (Ranck) Christian's wife. Magdelin was probably Mathias' wife. In any case, there is almost no factual information on the fate of Jacob or Mathias. See Discussion1.
