DNA Connections
It may be possible to confirm family relationships with Adam by comparing test results with other carriers of his Y-chromosome or his mother's mitochondrial DNA. However, there are no known yDNA or mtDNA test-takers in his direct paternal or maternal line. It is likely that these autosomal DNA test-takers will share some percentage of DNA with Adam:

Greetings Ellen

Could you kindly assist?

Data Doctor reports an error with respect to the wife of Adam Snoke [Snoke-30] –. The error concerns an unknown person who is alleged to be his first wife Sophia [Unknown-14477]. When I compared Adam’s Snook’s information on Family Search id KCLD-5JV I found he had one wife, and her name encompassed the names of Sophia [Unknown-14477] and Maria Butterbaugh [Butterbaugh-167], which I believe to be incorrect. I then checked the sources on Family Search, where I noticed the names of Sophia and Maria were used as mothers of Snook children, coincidentally they both gave birth to children within the same time period which reinforced my conclusion that Family Search information was incorrect. What I can determine with sources is the fact that Adam Schnock married Maria Butterachin 1 April 1789 in Rocky Hill, Frederick, Maryland. Maria had the following children. 1. Johannes Schnock the son of Maria and Adam baptised 24 May 1790, Rocky Hill, Frederick, Maryland 2. Heinrich Snock was born 26 December 1799 in ?? Maryland 3. Susanna Schnogh was baptised 2 May 1802 in Ladiesburg, Frederick, Maryland

Sophia had the following children – 1. George Michal Schnook the son of Sophia was baptised 4 August 1799 in Creagestown, Frederick, Maryland. (note this profile clashes with Johannes above – Frederick Hill and Creagestown are 6 miles apart, one profile is a baptism the other a birth) 2. Susanna Schnock was baptised 23 May 1801 in Creagestown (note this profile clashes with Susanna above – Creagestown and Ladiesburg are less than 10 miles apart.) 3. Christina Magthlaena Snog was baptised 27 July 1817 in Creagestown. If she was Maria’s child Maria would have been 55 years old in 1817.

In summary Sophia and Maria were not the same person. Adams Father Simon had two sons one called Adam the other John Adam, did Maria belong to one and Maria to the other? Any help in resolving this conundrum would be most welcome. Please note I posted the attached to 2G2 happy hunting Paul

Research on the paternal line for my grandchildren gave me the information that Adam Snook (1768-1831) was the son of John (1728-1787) from NJ to Frederick Co., MD; married Hannah (unk). Their son Adam married Maria "Mary" Butterbach (1764-1863). Their son Henry (1799-1838) married Juliana/Judith Haugh (1803-1881). Noland 588.
