Robert Sneden was the son of Nicholas Sneden and Marie _____. He died after January 31, 1734 in Eastchester, Westchester County, New York ["Westchester County, New York, Deed Records, Book G", pg 344].
He made his occupation as a carpenter and farmer.
On January 4, 1697, Robert '"Sneathing" of Flushing bought from John Boud of Oyster Bay "a certain Island or Neck of land containing about 50 acres lying within ye bounds of Oyster bay, northward from Musketa Cove as the same is now laid out and marked."
In 1698, he was listed as a "ffreemen-men" at Flushing in a census.
On October 18, 1704, Robert "Snething", house carpenter, bought from Daniel Simkins for 21 pounds, an additional lot of 9-1/4 acres and four rods within the limits of the Musketa Cove Patent. This lot was bordered by lands owned by himself and Nicholas "Snething".
On January 4, 1713, Robert "Sneathing" of Oyster Bay, "yeoman," sold to Adrean Hegman of Brockland, Kings County, New York, in consideration of 400 pounds, three tracts of land in the Township of Oyster Bay. He signed the deed "Robart Senethen." Sarah "Senathen" also made her mark.
By a deed dated December 1, 1713, Richard Osburn and his wife, conveyed to Robert "Snealling" of Queens County on "ye Island of Nassau," yeoman, several tracts in the Patent of Eastchester for 340 pounds.
On March 5, 1715, he is mentioned in his brother Nicholas' will as "my bro. Robert Snethen."
At Eastchester, Robert Sneden was a prominent member of the community. At a town meeting held October 15, 1715, Robert "Sneddon" and two others were appointed to meet with one Moses Hunt, attorney, regarding a parcel of land Hunt had leased from the town. Also at that meeting, it was voted to sell to Robert "Snedon" 20 acres of land to the south of his existing lands, for 40 pounds.
At a town meeting held October 15, 1716, Robert "Snedon" was elected town treasurer for the ensuing year. "The Said freeholders did agree by Voate that Jonathan Odle of Eastchester Should go to Robert Snedon treasurer for ye Said Town and in & for ye behalf of him Self and ye Reste of ye freeholders of ye Said town take Security of ye Said Snedon of all Such money As the Said freeholders hath intrusted and Lodged in ye hands of ye Said treasurer. . . ."
At a town meeting held February 27, 1716/17, it was voted to send Jeremiah Fowler and Robert "Sneddon", treasurer of the town, to New York to "audit ye accts of ye Said town with ye ( ) lawyers and others imployed in ye said towns business and when soe done to make Return to ye freeholders of what ye Said freeholders is in debt to those imployed as afoursaid . . ."
On March 25, 1717/18, at a town meeting, it was again voted that Robert "Sneaddon", treasurer, and Justice Noah Barton "go to New York to make up the accts of the town."
Apparently the audit revealed deficiencies, because at a town meeting held April 22, 1718, it was voted to send Robert "Sneadonn" to New York to one Mr. Bickley to pay him money. Robert "Sneadon" and Nathaniel Tompkins were also chosen to lay out lands voted to be sold to William White and to John Fowler. He was also chosen as one of the appraisers of Intestate Estates for the ensuing year.

On November 15, 1723, his cattle "ear mark" was recorded in Eastchester.

On December 31, 1724, he was elected treasurer again for the ensuing year, as well as being again elected to inventory Intestates' Estates, as fenceviewer, and to lay out lands to be exchanged by the town with Henry Fowler.
On January 16, 1726, he purchased additional land at Eastchester from Isaac Odell, for 150 pounds.

He was reelected to the same offices on April 2, 1728. He was also appointed with others to lay out a lot for a school house.
At a town meeting held January 30, 1728/9, the freeholders posted bond, Robert "Sneadden"'s portion being 32 pounds.
On April 1, 1729, he was elected sheep master and overseer of the highways.
