Conrad Schnob/Schnable married a Elizabeth Barbe Pfeiffer,
Looking for more information on Pfeiffer and or Conrad Schnabel.
Conrad Schnabel was a Hessian-Hanau Jaeger (Soldier) who fought for
the British in the American Revolution.
There is an excellent Hessian researcher named John Merz you may want
to look him up.
A great many German immigrants came over during the American
Revolution and then stayed in States or moved to Canada as my
Grandfather did.
However a George Shnob moved to Plattsburg NY and raised his family
there. He was originally a Schnabel as well.
Conrad stayed in Quebec after the American Revolution and fathered six
children that we know of. The sons and daughter spelled their last
name a number
of ways.
My direct grandfather was Jean Baptiste Schnabel/Chenable and my name
eventually turned out to be Schnob so the tradition of misspelling the
family name
goes back a long way.
I have since changed my name to Jack Scott. How is that for a stretch?
In anycase below is the following
He came from Lower Saxony just south of Hannover German in 1777 and he
married Elizabeth Barbe Pfeiffer. I am looking for more on the
Schnabel
family or families in Quebec.
