Two sons of John Snook ventured out to Ohio.  William Harrison Snook in 1801 and John March Snook in 1802.  (History of Warren County, Ohio by W. H. Beers & Co., Page 712) and settled in Deerfield in Warren Co., Ohio.  William later returned to New Jersey to bring his father, mother, and the rest of the family to Deerfield.  Unfortunately, his father died Nov. 2, 1808, shortly after arriving in Ohio.  (Memoirs of the Miami Valley, Ohio Vol. III, page 206, published by Robert O. Law Co., Chicago, 1919) and all papers pertaining to his estate have either been misplaced or lost.  The first reference naming some members of this family is given in Deed Book 3 Page 249, Warren Co., Ohio, where Hannah, widow of the late John Snook, and her daughters, Elizabeth Trump, Charlotte Sutton and Alice Snook, sell land to William and John M. Snook on Nov. 23, 1808.  Alice Snook died in the year 1810 and her brother William Snook was appointed administrator of her estate on June 18, 1810.  When Hannah Snook died her son, John M. Snook, was appointed administrator of her estate on Sep. 14, 1835.  The court proceedings concerning her division of her estate (Chancery Record #6, pages 54-58, John M. Snook vs. Joab Snook & others, Warren County Court House, Lebanon, OH) reveal the names of her children and grandchildren living at the time.  Her son, William Harrison Snook, died in 1827 so he was not named as heir but his children were.  Hannah's heirs are given as follows:

John M. Snook Warren Co., OH

Elizabeth Trump Warren Co., OH
