It wouldn't be surprising if he were from the Penn bunch. John Snively, on the next page of that 1820 census, probably belongs somewhere on my chart, and my guess without further research is that his family probably originated in Penn. (there were only two Snively families that arrived in the US, one came to Penn, I think the other- not mine- ended up in Virginia some where, but I'm not sure).
Another thing that I suspect happened in Mennonite families sometimes is that if a child ceased being Mennonite, they, er, disappeared from the family records. I'm pretty sure that happened with my G-G grandfather, based on information that the other branches of the family had up on-line (everyone in his sib. group except him :P ). We had the info, but they didn't.
