Sylvester and Polly Snow arrived in northwest Ohio about 1846/1847, after residing in New York and Pennsylvania. In 1847, he made a land purchase in Williams Co. Ohio which is today located directly south of Pease Cemetery, near Pioneer (Williams Co.) Ohio. He is last enumerated in the 1860 Census, Bridgewater twp., Williams Co. Ohio with his wife, Polly, and son, Milton. Sylvester and Polly are believed by researchers to have been the parents of 11 children:

Harrison
Eunice Almira
Lucretia
Richard Sullivan
Orin Perry
Sylvester Jr.
Isaac Cutter
Edwin Joseph
Gilbert Spencer
Samuel Milton
Adalaide

(In 1849 members of the Methodist Episcopal Church located a cemetery on land furnished by Ezekiel Masters. This M.E. cemetery was active until 1881, when a cemetery association was formed and additional burial land purchased to the west of the old cemetery. This cemetery, along with the M.E. cemetery, became known as Franklin Cemetery. Today the two cemeteries are known as West Franklin Cemetery. Many of the older burials and/or stones in the old section are said to have been moved from the old Asher Ely cemetery, located near West Unity in Williams Co. Ohio. Burials and/or stones may also have been moved from other area cemeteries.)
