We are researching the SNOWs of Canso, Guysborough Co., Nova Scotia. My GGgrandfather was Henry Snow, b1840, d1881-1891, who we think married Emeline Feltmate, b 6 Jul 1850, and they had Joseph S. Snow and Ollivia C. Snow. We would appreciate any help in this search: especially from "1941 hank" on the yahoo net that posted a message that we do not have authorization to answer. Linda ROBERTS and Bob WHITE

Hi Richard and Marcene, My greatgrandmother Martha SNOW was born in Newton Co, Arkansas in 1861. I looked for your John H and I don't have him listed but it certainly is possible that he is related. Martha's parents were Ahijah SNOW and Barbara CASEY. If you find a connection to this line let me know and we can share info. Jan Colorado

MARCENE2@aol.com on 11/16/98 07:12:37 PM To: Richard D. Jefford II/AM/LLY cc: Subject: Snow connection Richard: I am looking for a john H. Snow who at age 40 married Nancy Oxford age 29 on 18 Oct 1866 in Newton Co. the marriage book says he was from Carroll C. There were several Snow families in Newton in the 60 and 70 census. Could John H. have been visiting family and also wife hunting? I don't find him in the census of Newton so I guess he went back home. Nancy is the one I am looking for. She could be the Nancy Oxford McAgee who came from GA with her husband and was widowed in Newton Co., AR. Maybe she didn't give her married name when she married John H. only her maiden name. Thanks Marcene

Does anyone on the Hubbard, Snow or Palmer list have anything which might connect to this? My thinking is that since Rebeckah Snow & TFP named first daughter Lydia Hubbard Palmer, that this could be the maiden name of Rebeckah's mother (it is not a Palmer name). Ludia's husband might have been Joseph Snow or Samuel Snow or . . . .? We know that Rebeckah had a brother named Samuel Snow, and both families were in Warsaw Co. NY census 1820. Also Rebeckah named her first son Joseph, so possibly Joseph was her father's name. Do any of these names mean anything to anyone on the Hubbard list? FIRST GENERATION Thomas Force Palmer (1787-1865) NJ>NY>OH>IL and his wife Rebeckah Snow (1790-1854) RI>NY>OH>IL, marr May 20, 1815 at Broadalbin, Montgomery Co. NY. This is SW of Saratoga. They then located to western NY: Warsaw, Wyoming Co. where on Aug. 12, 1817 their second child was b., daughter . . . SECOND GENERATION LYDIA HUBBARD PALMER (we know nothing of Rebeckah Snow's parents, and so think that her mother or grandmother might have been a "Lydia Hubbard" . . .? Anyway . . . . Lydia Hubbard Palmer b. NY and she continues the westward treck with her parents to Chatham, Mediana Co., OH by abt 1832, remaining there until about 1842, when her parents move further west to Sugar Grove, Kane Co. IL. In the meantime, on Jun 12, 1839 Lydia marries to ORRIN GRIDLEY. No record of where, but likely Medina Co. OH (possibly Illinois?)

I am new to the list and would like to contact Snow researchers working on the same line that I am. It is as follows: Sarah Snow m Samuel Stow, Jr. 19 Dec 1704. From the information I have found, Sarah's father was James Snow b 1642, Woburn, MA, m to Sarah (--------); father Richard Snow b 11 Dec 1608 m to Avis Barrat; father Patrick Snow m Marie Sweate. I am not confident of the documentation for this line, as I have not derived the information from original records. It is not yet proven in my records. Hope to hear from other Snow/Stow researchers. (Talk about tongue-twisters - there are also Stones in this Stow line.) Thank you. Anne Benson
