John Snively in York in 1820 is probably yours?! Huh. Awesome that you spotted that. Makes it sound like Belmont Co., Ohio was filling with Pennsylvanian ex-patriates. Can you make a guess where in Penn. Snively might have come from? Because people tended to go where they knew people and there are only four pages of households in York in 1820. They might mostly be from the same place.
Also you make me wonder about Reason's relationship to the rest of the family. If Joseph, et. al. were Mennonite and Reason left the faith, maybe he got left off the records like you say. I also only have Charles Fahs Coffman's info about Joseph's children's names, and he doesn't include Reason, though Reason is exactly the right age to fit in with the others.
