In the book "History of Bedford, Somerset and Fulton Cos., PA" there is =
a John Snoeberger of South Woodberry Twp., Bedford Co. as the owner of a =
slave named Benjamin Lyons. Lyons, born c. 1780, was freed at age 28, =
and remained in South Woodberry Twp. where he purchased a farm and =
raised a family.=20

I would like to know if a member of the Church of the Brethren would =
own a slave? I am researching the Snowberger family. I have had a =
request from a descendant of Lyons for information on the man who owned =
her 4 greats grandfather. John Snoeberger was the brother of my 3 =
greats grandfather, Theodore Snowberger. I don't know if John =
Snowberger was a member of the Church of the Brethren or not. I had =
presumed he was since many of this family were.
