LORENTZ SCHNEPP: Information on this Lorentz Schnepp family from Daniel Bly's "From the Rhine to the Shenandoah". Came to America with his older brother Johannes in 1733. Probably in Virginia as early as 1734. His name appears on an Orange County, VA tithe list in 1737. When Rev. John Casper Stoever made a circuit of Virginia in April, 1739, Lorentz Schnepp had a son, Johannes, baptized with his brother, Johannes, as a sponsor. Lorentz moved to North Carolina quite early as his name does not appear with his brother's in the naturalization records of Frederick County in 1746. His name appears a petition for land in central Carolina in 1750. By 1761 Lawrence Snapp was a landowner with 795 acres on the Yadkin River in Rowan County, NC where a sizable German settlement was established
