George J. or I. Snell with wives Elizabeth living in or near the Town of Palatine, N. Y., in the early 1800's. Identified is the Geo. J. or I. 4 Sneli (Jacob G. 3, Jo- han George 2, Johannes 1) who married Dec. 23, 1804, Elizabeth 4 Waggoner (Johan Jost or Jo- seph 3, Johan Peter 2, 1). Who was the other George J. or I.
