This book is online in Google Books.  Searching for "Moon", I found on page 63:  Casper Moon, SR, Casper Moon, JR., James Moon, John Moon, Nathaniel Moon, Thomas Moon,  and William Moon.


Snyder county was formed in 1855 from parts on Union county.  Union county was formed in 1813 from parts of Northumberland county.  Northumberland was formed in 1772. 

I believe my husband's ancestor William Moon went to Tennessee by 1788 and likely came from Northumberland County, PA.

Margaret Ellen Shrader 1848-1926 and her son, Asa Lavata Van

I found this picture posted on the photo website Picasa in 2010 and the website has since been discontinued.  The photos were linked to the original owner, however the links no longer work.  The photo was labeled "Margaret Ellen Shrader 1848-1926 and her son, Asa Lavata Van ,  Margaret is the daughter of George Washington Shrader b-1816 and Mary Ferguson, & the sister of Andrew Edward Shrader b-1864."  I believe this Margaret is a sister to Dialtha Shrader Moon.

Andrew Edward Shrader 1864-? & Rebecca Narissus Elder 1866-1959

Here is another picture I found on the photo website Picasa in 2010.  The photo was linked to the original owner, however the website has been discontinued and the link no longer works.  The photo was labeled by the owner as

Andrew Edward Shrader 1864-? & Rebecca Narissus Elder 1866-1959, Andrew is the son of George W. Shrader 1816-? & Mary Ferguson and G/S of Christian (Christopher) Shrader 1775-1843 & Mary Webb 1788-1871).

I believe Andrew Shrader is the brother of Dialtha Shrader Moon.

Margaret Shrader 1834-1906

I found these great pictures on a website called Picasa in 2010 which has since been discontinued.  The photos were linked to the original owner, but the links no longer work. This picture was labeled

"Margaret Shrader 1834-1906 Married John Calvin Fox 1828-1863 Margaret is the daughter of Christian (Christopher) Michael Shrader 1775-1843 & Catherine Armbrister 1781-181"

I do not know if the information is correct.   My husband's great great grandmother is Dialtha Shrader Moon, daughter of George Washington Shrader and Mary Ferguson.  I think the Margaret Shrader pictured here is Dialtha's aunt.  Here is another site I found with the same photo also labeled as Margaret Shrader:  http://dickdfox.tripod.com/index-43.html
