MESSAGE FROM ROOTSWEB: We're preparing for the latest upgrade to the GenConnect System. There's a few things you need to know about this upgrade ..... The entire GenConnect system will be upgraded starting at midnight on Saturday September 5, 1998. This will require that we shut the system down. The reason is twofold ..... it's not just a patch .... it's a re-write of the program that runs the system. Also, the Global Search engine has been revamped and mega-enhanced, which will require a total rebuild. No new postings can be allowed during this rebuilding period. Downtime is estimated to be 8 hours max (yep .... it's a huge system now!). Anyone attempting to use the system during this downtime will be given notice that it's being upgraded .... no-one will be left in the dark. However, you could help us make this a smoother transition if you would spread the word on any and all of the major mailing lists that you may be subbed to (ROOTS-l, xxROOTS-L, your county lists, surname lists, etc.). Will you help us by doing this? Below are some of the new features that the latest version (1.10) will contain. Please feel free to include those items listed as 'Visitor Toys' in any announcement you make. This is the most exciting version of genbbs yet, and we're thrilled to be bringing it into production. I encourage anyone with questions about the conversion to sub to the GenConnect-L list, if you're not already. Simply send an email to GenConnect-L-request@rootsweb.com with the word subscribe in both the subject and as the only word in the body. Turn off all signature files, please. Once again ..... the upgrade will begin at midnight on Saturday, Sep 5, and should take no more than 8 hours. Please help us announce this. There will be no official notice once the conversion is completed. The new version will be in effect for all to see, and will serve as notice. This is just the latest improvement, and we've all anxiously awaited this moment. Happy Hunting!!!! The GenConnect Team .....

Hello: Can you tell me your source for information on Nicholas 1 & 2. I have the Mayflower Vol 6 book and when it was published they did not know who Nicholas Snow of the ship Anne was the son of. Your information looks wonderful and I would like to incorporate it with mine but I would like to see the proof before I do so. Thanks, Juanita

Don: I have been looking for someone doing research on this family of Snow's in Newton Co. I have a paper written by someone in your family but I can't remember who. I will find out in the next few days as I am going to Deer and Wayton to talk to some Taylors. Do you know Wilbur Taylor 91 years of age? I have talked to him in the past but I talked to his dau. today and he will be back in about 3 weeks and she will call me to come up and talk to him. Solomon Snow's children and his brother William "Billy" Snow's children came together to Newton Co in the early 1850's and some of the girls I have not been able to figure out. This paper I have says your Leacy Snow was the dau. of my Solomon & Mary Elizabeth Coe Snow. I do not show that but she is the right age to be on of them. I hope Wilbur will be able to figure this out. I am also interested in your Hicks family. Are you a descendant of Jane Hicks from NC? My GG grandfather, Francis Marion Millsaps lived close to her and I understand some of their children married. I heard they all came to Newton co together I suppose on a wagon train. Do you know anything about this? I also know that the Henderson family was married to someone in our Snow family but again which family?? I hope I can get some of these questions answered in the next few weeks. Wilbur's dau. says his mind is still very good so I need to go as soon as possible and try and get everything I can from him. I am going to take a tape recorder. I will share what I get with you. I am going to research the other Breedlove family up there and some of them are marr. into the Taylor family. A Shannon Henderson was the librarian at Arkansas Tech University here in Russellville and he is one of yours, do you know him? Let me hear from you.

In a message dated 8/31/98 0:08:14 AM EST, kirkemo@olywa.net writes: << Hello, I just recently learned of my descent from Nicholas and Constance (Hopkins) Snow. I have reviewed two principal sources: 1. "Mayflower Families Through Five Generations" by John Austin, and 2. "Cape Cod Series Vol. 1, History and Genealogy of the Mayflower Planters" by Leon Hills. It appears nothing is known about the ancestry of Nicholas, but I'm hoping something more recent may be available. I'd also be interested in any resource material available with useful information about Nicholas. >> 30 Aug 1998 Hi Jane & Gordon In MF5G Vol. VI <Hopkins - lst ed> Judge Austin indicates that Nicholas Snow "may be the Nicholas bp. 25 Jan. 1599 at St. Leonard's, Shoreditch, London, England, son of Nicholas Snow of Hoxton, Co. Middlesex. "May be's" in genealogy often get translated into "definites" and far too many sources about Nicholas Snow quote this as factual information, when indeed I have never seen anything close to primary evidence that links the Nicholas Snow with the Nicholas baptized in St. Leonards. It seems important that genealogists working on the Nicholas and Constance Snow family make certain the "maybe" is properly footnoted. Little has been found of Stephen Hopkins first wife, whose is the mother of Nicholas Snow's wife Constance or Constanta as she is called by Governor Bradford in his "Plimouth Plantation". However, a Hopkins researcher informed me some months ago that he had found primary evidence of the wife's first name and other important data when presented <soon> in one of the leading genealogy journals and will shed more light on this undiscovered part of Constance Hopkins maternial side. So new research is always turning up and hopfully someday the parentage of Nicholas Snow shall be found. Do keep in mind the great fire of London which destroyed a mile of the city in the 1660's. Many valuable church records were lost and I suspect some that relate to the pilgrim company who settled at Plymouth in 1620. Snow was a common English name and found in many of the county shires of England. For example in NEHGR Vol 39 page 166: Genealogy Gleanings in England under the will of Joseph Walker, mention is made to kinswoman Mary wife of Nicholas Snow, Armorer of London. Nicholas Snow's daughter Sarah married a Walker. While there is nothing to suggest that this NIcholas and Mary are kinsfolks of our Plymouth/Eastham Nicholas Snow it does indicate other possibilities exsist concerning the English orgins of Nicholas Snow which should be explored. Perhaps with the spread of the inter-net information those of us interested in Nicholas Snow's orgins will find some hard evidence of his parentage? Some sources concerning Nicholas Snow of Plymouth and Eastham, Massachusetts are: (1) Library of Cape Cod, No. 34, "Nicholas Snow of Eastham, by James W. Hawes, Yarmouthport, Mass., C. W. Swift, Publisher and Printer. The "Register" Press. 1916. 24 pages. It is a well written document with sources documented, so that one might follow the references to read the primary source documents. <This booklet is not easy to find, but copies are located in the NEHGR Lending Library and the State of Maine Library in Augusta and the Eastham Historical Society, P.O. Box BB, North Eastham, MA 02651 had copies for sale @ $10.00 each but this was 1988, so it could be more now. The Cap Cod Series included some 100+ booklets published about early cape cod. Sometime in the early 1990's a Col. Leonard Smith gathered them all together, added an every name index for the whole series, and published them in a Two Volume set titled: "Cape Cod Library" of Local History and Genealogy A Facsimile Edition of 108 Pamphlets Published in the Early 20th Century Genealogy Publishing Company, Inc. 1001 N. Calvert Street, Baltimore, MD 21202 (1992) If your interested in reading original source documents the twelve volume set of Plymouth Colony Documents is great reading. Starting in the early 1630's you will find reference after reference to our Nicholas Snow and his family. These records were published in the 1850's under direction of the Massachusetts Commonwealth and are often available in many State Libraries or private libraries with large genealogy holdings. In 1968 AMS Press, Inc. New York, N.Y. 10003 reprined the entire 12 volume set and reissued the 12 volumes in a six set publication. Some libraries carry the newer 1968 six volumes containing all of the original 12 volumes. You will find Nicholas Snow's appoinments to a variety of public service tasks. His serving on judicial bodies, and other references, including allocations of lands. His arrival on the Ship Anne in 1623 is well documented in "Of Plimouth Plantation." a manuscript written by Gov. William Bradford and printed in a variety of books. The Book I have is Bradfor's History "Of Plimoth Plantation. Printed under the direction of the Secretary of the Commonweath of Massachusetts. Boston. Wright & Potter Printing Co., State Printers. 1898. Bradford's description of the arrival of the passengers is graphic to whit: p 171-175 "About 14 days after came in this ship, caled ye Anne, whereof Mr. William Peirce as mr., and aboute a weeke or 10 days after came in ye pinass which in foule weather they lost at sea, a fine new vessell of about 44. tune, which ye company had builte to stay in the cuntrie. They brought about 60. persons for ye generall, some of these being very usefull persons, and became good members to ye body, and some were ye wives and children of shuch as wee hear allready. And some wee so bad, as they were faine to be at charge to send them home again ye next year. ... <some> passengers, when they saw their low & poore condition a shore, were much danted and dismayed, and according to their diverse humores were diversly affected; some wished them selves in England again; others fell a weeping, fancying their own miserie in what yey saw now in others; other some pitying the distress they saw their freinds had been long in, and still were under; in a word, all were full of sadness. Only some of their old freinds rejoyed to see them, and yt it was no worse with them, for they could not expecte it should be better, and now hoped they should injoye better days togeather. And truly it was no marvel they should be thus affected, for they were in a very low condition, many were ragged in aparell, & some litle beter then halfe naked; thought some yt were well stord before, were well enough in this regard. But for food they were all alike; save some yt had got a few pease of ye ship yt was last hear. The best dish they could presente their freinds with was a lobster, or a peece of fish, without bread or any thing els but a cupp of fair spring water. And ye long continuance of this diate, and their labours abroad, had something abated ye freshnes of their former complexion. But God gave them health and strength in a good measue; and shewed them by experience ye truth of yt word, Deut. 8.3. Yt man liveth not by bread only, but by every word yt proceedeth out of ye mouth of ye Lord doth a man live. This arrival goes on for several more pages discussing the general famine and how they would feed the new comers. These will still hard days for our ancestors even two years after their arrivial at Plymouth in 1620. But they did survive. The Mayflower Descendant has many references to Nicholas Snow which include his will, his sharing in the Division of Land <1623> His sharing in the Division of Cattle <1627> The first 46 volumes of this Mayflower Publication has been put on CD ROM and is available at a very reasonable cost through the Sales Office of NEHGS in Boston. Would be most happy to share lines with you as I am a descendant of Nicholas and Constance through their son Marke Snow. Can accept GEDCOMS or letter attachments. Welcolme to the Snow List.

Hello, I just recently learned of my descent from Nicholas and Constance (Hopkins) Snow. I have reviewed two principal sources: 1. "Mayflower Families Through Five Generations" by John Austin, and 2. "Cape Cod Series Vol. 1, History and Genealogy of the Mayflower Planters" by Leon Hills. It appears nothing is known about the ancestry of Nicholas, but I'm hoping something more recent may be available. I'd also be interested in any resource material available with useful information about Nicholas. Is anyone else researching Nicholas and his family? I would be delighted to hear from you and to share information. Gordon Kirkemo

Hello again, I did not include one generation on the message just sent regarding Abner Snow. Please correct the generations with the Capitalized names. In my records Mark married twice. Once to a Hannah Sears and once to Susanna (West) Whelden. This Mark Snow is the son JONATHAN SNOW AND THANKFUL FREEMAN. JONATHAN IS THE SON of Nicholas Snow who is the son of Mark Snow who is the son of Nicholas and Constance Snow. Let me know if you need more information on this part of the family. I do not think Ray Sears had information on Mark's father. Regard, Jeanne Rinear rancher@alaska.net
