Jamestown, which he selected as
the site for his home. This man
had sailed from Germany into Bal
timore in 1882 with his wife, sew
eral daughters and two sons. Over
looking jobs in the city, he moved
on and made his first lodging a
farm at Steptown. With slaves to
do his farming, he, not wishing to
be idle, trimmed orchards and OBJ
tanned other jobs in which he was
skilled.
Doing some exploring four years
later, he found the site for his
home which he built Immediately
This site is located in what is now
known as Old Germantown. The
house was the first Of the cabins
to have a chimney high to prevent
smoke from filling the rooms, even
J though it was made of wood.
The town was named German
town when Mr.. Snyder paid his
taxes, because of the Germans who
had settled there. Among the other
German families were the Rich
tiers, Metzes and the Leamans. The
first official use of the name was
when his son added to the land
given him by his father.
Jacob Snyder's first impression
was that this was the free land

ed that if would cost him three or
four dollars an acre.
The original home is no longer
standing but the second that he
built, after the road was laid in
1849, is now standing and is oc-

widow of his grandson, VINO died
