History of Snydersburg, from Carroll Co Times
After [Christian Snyder's] marriage to Magdalena Throft, November 14, 1785 at Hanover, Pennsylvania,
he purchased 7 acres of land from Peter Zentz in 1800 at a place called Cranberry Meadows, near the
present Snydersburg.
[Note that Abraham Zentz, whom I have as this Peter's grandson, married a Snyder.]

1810 census Baltimore Co MD p552 has
Peter Sence Sr 4 M <10, 1 M 10-16, 2 M 45+, 2 F <10, 2 F 10-16
The next two entries are Peter and Phillip, both 26-45.
1800 census for Baltimore Co MD is lost.
1790 census Baltimore Co MD p195 [Patapsco Lower Hundred]
Peter Sentz 3 M 16+, 1 M 0-15, 5 F
[Peter c55, Adam 29, Peter 23, Phillip 12, Maria c50, Maria 18, Margareth 15, Ann 13, Catharina 27]
Son Jacob is already married, but I don't see him listed separately.
Also listed on p195 is
Christopher Sentz 7 M 16+, 2 F
On p191 is
Adam Sentz 1 M 16+, 2 M 0-15, 3 F
and on p196 is:
Adam Sentzes 1 M 16+, 1 M 0-15, 1 F
Adam Sentzes Jr 1 M 16+, 2 M 0-15, 1 F
Christopher should be Peter's brother Christian.
Both of them had a son Adam. Peter's was born 1761, and Christian's was born 1756. Either one could
be the one listed separately, or could be one of the males listed with his father.
Neither would be old enough to have a Jr old enough to be listed separately, so the Sentzeses must
be a different family.
