They lived in the Salzburger community of Ebenezer in Effingham County, Georgia. His father was twelve years old when he arrived in the American colonies with his family from the Palatine area of the Holy Roman Empire, now part of Germany. Christian's grandfather, Hans Michael Schneider, had signed papers of indenture on his family for passage to Georgia. Gen. James Oglethorpe met the boat, "Two Brothers", bought their indentures and donated them to the Salzburger Lutheran community of Ebenezer. They remained with these people after their indentures were completed. Christian was about three years old when his father died. A year later, his mother married John Heinle, Jr. The colonies were in revolt and the British occupied Savannah. Gen. Benjamin Lincoln attempted to recapture Savannah from the British during a siege in the fall of 1779. An American friend, Count Pulaski, was killed and American forces passed through Effingham County in retreat. Christian signed up at age 15 yrs. 7 mos, under Col. Jenkins Davis. He was at the Battle of Cowpens, got separated from his unit, made his way to South Carolina and signed up with stray soldiers that went around the country side looking for action. He heard about the October 19, 1781 victory and surrender of the British at Yorktown where his older brother, John Gottlieb, had served under Gen. George Washington. Christian and his brother's names were spelled SNIDER on military records and they kept that spelling after the war. In the 1790 North Carolina Census, Christian Snider was enumerated in Lincoln County, married with young children. John Gottlieb was next door and other relatives nearby. The extended family soon returned to Georgia where Christian purchased 180 acres on Beaver Creek in Wilkes County and was listed on the 1793 tax list. Christian's mother, Anna Mary Barbara Schneider Heinle, died in Wilkes County, October 9, 1818 and left her assets to Christian. His stepfather had died earlier the same year. Christian was enumerated in the 1820 Georgia Census, Wilkes County. His two sons, Barnett and John P., were married and living nearby in Glascock County. As an older man, Christian lost his wife, married a widow with children, and moved to Henry County where he died. - Blanche Keating Collie Spouses: (1) Unknown Snider (mother of his children) (2) Catherine Crawford Snider Children: Barnett Snider 1790- Elizabeth Smider 1793- Mary Snider Smith 1800-- Hannah Snider Weaver 1803- John P.
