      Notes:

      From The Wintermute Family History:

      Frederick was listed January, 1783, as being a member of the Reformed Association od Hardwick. He served as constable for Hardwick Township, Sussex County, New Jersey, in 1776. He is on record for supplying services and supplies during the
      American Revolution in 1780 and 1781. George Windemuth named Frederick Snover as one of "my trusty friends".



      From "The Snover Family" compiled by Edward P. Stone Sr., Amundsen Pub.Co., 1976, and in the NSDAR Library (information copied and sent to me by James Kerr) - "Frederick Snover was born in America.... The place of his birth, as well as where he
      received his education, has not yet been determined." "..was a member of the Reformed Association of Hardwick." "Mister Snover was a zealous patriot, and supplied services and supplies during the revolution." Birth and death dates from this
      book. His 3rd m.was performed by Joshua Swayze, J. P.

      Information from Robert Moore, Canada : place of birth - "likely Trappe, PA"

      In the History of Sussex and Warren Counties by James P. Snell (pub 1881) Frederick and Jacob settled in Hardwick Township (Now Warren County ) as early as 1735 or 1740. This notation seems to be in error as Frederick was born in Penn in 1743
      however the family may have been there as early as 1750 and most certainly by 1763 when Frederick was married. Just who Jacob was is unclear at this time but he was likely Frederick's first cousin, a son of John Heinich Snover The name
      Schnauber was Anglicized to Snover in 1764. Frederick served in the Continental Army during the Revolution,receiving pay during portions of the period from August 1779 to 1787 (He has been recognized by the DAR) His uncle Georg Philip
      Wintermute was a Loyalist and his first cousins Philip, John, Peter, Benjamin and Abraham Wintermutes were members of Loyalist regiment "The Butlers Rangers" and were regarded as heroes in the Niagara area of Ontario where they settled after
      the Revolution. ***Frederick was a constable for Hardwick Township in 1776. Frederick was a member of Hardwick Lutheran Church at Stillwater.

      Frederick's will was dated 23 June 1828 and is contained in Warren County Probate Records (G.S. #566,393 No. 1920)
