"List of Foreigners imported in the ship SAMUEL of London, Hugh Percy, Master, from Rotterdam but last from Deal. Qualified August 13, 1733. Some of our ancestors disembarking were: ... Johannes Snapp 37, wife Barbara 34 with children Johannes 12, Lawrence 10, and Barbara 3, and Lawrence Snapp age 21, no doubt a younger brother to Johannes Snapp." p.172.

"Most of them disembarking were of the Dutch Reformed Faith (the Schnepp/Snapp family was German Lutheran however), the families clung together, built their church and intermarried for the next 30-40 years ... Aboard the "Samuel" were these with ages given as of August 1733, and the two spellings of their names if they differed for they were evidentially listed as they stepped off the ship, and then later to move through a line of another recorder.

Johannes Schnepp (John Snapp, Sr.) was one of the earliest settlers in Virginia's Shenandoah Valley, settling near the Jost Hite group that had settled on the Opequon Creek in 1732. When Rev. Johann Casper Stoever visited the fledgling community of Virginians in the Spring of 1735, Johannes Schnepp and Barbara were among those who had a child baptized. Hans Schnepp was also one of the signers of a road petition by Shenandoah Valley settlers to the Orange County Court in July 1737. "Orange County, VA Deed Books 3 & 4, pp. 112-3.

John Snapp, Sr., John Jr. and Lawrence Snapp were naturalized in Frederick County, Virginia on May 21, 1746.

John Snapp, Sr. received a warrant for 400 acres of land 27 Feb 1749 where he lived on little North Mountain near the branches of Cedar Creek. (house on the plat). This land was adjacent John Snapp, Jr and was surveyed by John Baylis. Chain carriers were John Fewcatt & Andrew Longacre. Patent was granted for this land on 14 July 1750 from Lord Fairfax. (Virginia Northern Neck Land Grants, Vol II, Book G)

The Snapp family lived in that part of Frederick County, Virginia that became the Shenandoah County in 1772. In the early days of voting in this country, each person voting was required to sign a list of names following the candidate. The names of John Snap, John Snap, Jr., and Law Snap are found in the 1758 vote of Frederick County for the House of Burgesses, as having voted for then Col. George Washington. This was George Washington's first successful election to public office. He was but 26 years old at the time. Most of his support came from soldiers or militiamen or from farmers who knew of his work as a surveyor. These Snapps were among the 309 citizens who voiced their vote for George Washington in this election.

     Johannes Schnepp was born on 24 January 1633 at Entzheim, Alsace. He married Brigitta Schwing. Johannes Schnepp married Maria Ammel, daughter of Johannes Ammel and Maria Roesch, on 16 May 1664 at Illkirch-Grafenstaden, Alsace. Johannes Schnepp died on 16 December 1701 at Pfaffenhoffen, Alsace, at age 68.

     Note: Lawrence Snapp came to Pennsylvania in 1733 on the ship Samuel out of Rotterdam, arriving 17 AUG 1733. He was 10 years old at that time. Shortly thereafter he moved with his parents to the Opequon settlement of Jost Hite in northern Virginia near present day Stephens City. About 1745 he married Margaret Stephens (there is no proof that Margaret was a Stephens or a Gaines, but it should be noted that family tradition of one branch of the Snapp family indicates she was a Gaines. Evidence seems to indicate that Margaret is the daughter of Peter Stephens however. The Snapp and Stephens families lived in the same neighborhood, they stood as sponsors at baptisms for each others children, they had property dealings and the names of some of the children of Lawrence and Margaret reflect the same names found in the Stephens family. Also it would be highly unusual for the Germans to marry outside of their own group in this generation and Gaines is believed to be an English name). Lawrence purchased or rented a small farm near his father. About 1754 he moved to Strasburg in what is now Shenandoah Co. VA where he became a merchant of general supplies. About 1764 he purchased Jacob Funk's mill on Tumbling Run sometimes known as Snapp's Mill Run (approx. 1 mile west of Strasburg). Shortly thereafter he became an Elder of St. Paul's Lutheran Church and with the creation of Dunmore Co. in 1772 (eventually to become Shenandoah Co.) he was elected a vestryman of Beckford Parish. The stone dwelling which he purchased of the Funk heirs, newly erected by them in 1762, stands today at its original site. The building is mentioned in his will as his dwelling house adjacent to the mill. His business was already moderately successful at the beginning of the Revolution. From 1776 to 1778 he with 3 sons lived and worked in Philadelphia where, according to local history in Shenandoah Co, it is believed they sold supplies to the Continental Army at Valley Forge and New Jersey and may have known Baron Von Steuben. Anyhow, he made large profits. Returning home in 1780 he settled at Tumbling Run and in 1781 he purchased more land in Shenandoah Co. and let his sons run his store in Strasburg. He died May 1782 at Tumbling Run. A large part of this Snapp farm at Tumbling Run later became the site of the battle of Fisher's Hill in the Civil War.

Wayland, A History of Shenandoah County, Virginia, PP 406-408.
In the pastor's study, St. Paul's Lutheran Church, Strasburg hangs an old parchment signed by Lord Fairfax, whereby 200 acres of land on the west side of the "North River of Shenandoah" were granted on December 23, 1771, to Hieronomus Baker, Martin Roller, Laurence Snapp, and Henry Felkner, elders of the Lutheran Church and congregation. The records of this church indicate that a building was erected in 1769. this was probably the first church house built by the Lutherans at this place. It is probable that a church building which stood in the vicinity in 1747 and thereabout was the joint property of the Lutherans and the Reformed."

     Robert Charles Schofield was also known as Charles Thomas Skolfield. He was born on 27 November 1873 at Weld, Franklin Co., ME.¹ He was the son of William Stanwood Skolfield and Mary Ann Swett.¹ Robert Charles Schofield began military service on 15 June 1898 at Ft. Sheridan, Illinois, U.S. Army, enlisted 15 June 1898 at Boston, Massachusetts, discharged 16 Feb 1899 at Fort Sheridan, Illinois; re-enlisted and discharged 21 Jun 1899; listed in the 1900 Census: Infantry, Seventh Regiment, Company K, Sergeant, stationed in Nome, Alaska.

He married Mildred Butcher, daughter of Joseph Milton Butcher and Lydia Ann Munson. Robert Charles Schofield and an unknown person were divorced before September 1918; Robert's WW I draft registration gives his mother's address as his nearest relative. He died on 3 June 1944 at Bishop, Inyo Co., CA, at age 70 BIOGRAPHY - From: Descendants of Thomas Skolfield, 1707-1796 by Ester S. DeVries; copied from findagrave.com:

Charles Thomas Skolfield / Robert Charles Schofield, was born 27 November 1873 in Weld, Maine; married Millicent Richmond Noble, daughter of James Byron Noble and Caroline Richmond, on 15 April 1895 in Phillips, Maine. They were divorced after 10 April 1897 and were remarried 19 April 1924. He married, second, Mildred (--). He died 3 June 1944 in Bishop, California.
Born a Skolfield, he was also known as Robert Charles Schofield. His birth is not recorded in the Weld Town records of the Maine Vital Records office. The date of 27 November 1873 was apparently received from a family record but his son, as informant, gave the birth date as 27 November 1874 on his father's death record.
His birth date is 21 November 1873 in his military record at the National Archives. As his older brother Clement was born 29 August 1871 and brother Marcel 26 May 1876, Charles' year of birth could have been either. His stated age of 21 at first marriage to Millicent agrees with 1873, but his age 49 at remarriage to Millicent agrees with the 1874 date. As Charles T. Skolfield was born 21 November 1873 at Weld, Maine, he enlisted 15 June 1898 at Boston, Massachusetts, and served as a sergeant in Company K, 7th U.S. Infantry until his discharge 16 February 1899 at Fort Sheridan, Illinois. He reenlisted 17 February 1899 at Fort Sheridan in Company K, 7th U.S. Infantry and remained with that company and regiment until separated 21 June 1901.
Following his military service he was engaged in mining activities in the west and was employed for a time by the Southern Pacific Railroad. He was a resident of Phoenix, Arizona, in 1924 when he remarried his first wife Millicent. From 1926 to 1935 he was employed by the California Electric Power Company. At the time of his first marriage in Phillips, Maine, his surname and that of his father appear as Skolfield but when he enlisted in the army it appears as Schofield. It is not known when he changed from Charles Thomas to Robert Charles but it may have been very soon after completion of his military service because his son says he has always known his father as Robert Charles Schofield.
