In the book, Gold Rush Women written by Claire Murphy/Jane Haigh on pages 34 and 35 there is some information regarding Chrystal Snow Jenne. I have found other information regarding her father and the George Snow family and have compiled it here. I am hoping to find the ancestors of this gold seeking family. George Snow and Anna Unknown met in a gold camp in California, USA and later married about 1881. They gave dramatic performances around the Northwest. Monte Snow was born in unknown place on West Coast of USA in 1882 Crystal Brilliant Snow was born in an unknown place on the West Coast of USA in 1884. When George heard rumors of gold in the Yukon Basin in 1887, he quickly accepted a six-week engagement in Alaska. In Juneau, Alaska George found it more profitable to entertain miners than to join them prospecting for gold. The Snows brought the first legitimate theater to Alaska, presenting classical plays as an alternative to the town's bawdy dance halls and vaudeville shows. Three-year old Crystal and five year old Monte sang for the miners, who would throw them gold nuggets in a show of appreciation. Since supplies came to Juneau only once a month by boat, Anna scrambled to sew costumes for each new show. Over the years, George frequently left his family for long periods of time to prospect for gold in the Interior of Alaska. Crystal's mother eventually insisted the whole family accompany him. Their friends in Juneau thought they were crazy to go into such wild country, especially with children. But Crystal wasn't afraid. She was determined to prove that she could be one of the first little girls to climb the Chilkoot Pass. In the spring of 1894, the Snows lashed their bedding, clothes, tools, a tent and a year's supply of food to a Yukon sled and spent weeks on the trail ferrying their supplies up and over the pass. Every night at camp, Crystal and her brother helped out by cutting wood for the fire. Once over the summit, they reached the Yukon River. From there they traveled several hundred miles to Forty Mile mining camp in the western Interior of Alaska. Life was easier in the new settlement. The family stayed with John and Bella Healy, old friends from Juneau, until their own cabin was built. Crystal and Monte went to school at the Buxton Mission run by Anglican Bishop William Bompas and Crystal learned to speak Athabaskan. Her father was prospecting again, so she, her mother and brother entertained the miners to support themselves. Unable to stay put for long, George took off again in 1895 for the new gold strike near Circle City. When a broken collar bone prevented George from mining gold, the Snows built a log opera house and, once again, entertained the residents of a boom town. In Alfred Brooks', Blazing Alaska's Trails page 333 regarding Circle City, "This town had its "opera house" where in 1895 George Snow, the pioneer actor of the Yukon, gave performances with his troupe which included several women." In Bill Hunt's, North of 53 degrees, regarding Circle City page 20, "Harry DeWindt's, an English traveler stopped in Circle in 1896. Circle's entertainments did not appeal to the English visitor. He had heard that the previous year a theatrical company of six women and five men had struggled over the Chilkoot Pass to present a "drama of the blood-curdling type," but only the dance halls were operating at the time of his visit." In Pierre Berton's, The Klondike Fever p. 32 "By 1896 it [Circle City] had a music hall, two theaters, eight dance halls, and twenty-eight saloons. It was known as "the Paris of Alaska," where money was so free that day-laborers were paid five times as much as they were "Outside," as the Alaskans called the rest of the civilized world." "In the big new double-decker Grand Opera House, George Snow, half miner, half entrepreneur, who had once starred with Edwin Booth in California, produced Shakespearean plays and vaudeville turns. Snow's children appeared on stage and picked up nuggets thrown to them by miners hungry for entertainment." Rumors of a big strike slowly filtered down the Yukon River to the bustling "Paris of Alaska" and the Snow family soon left Circle City to follow the gold to the Klondike in 1896. In Pierre Burton's, The Klondike Fever, page 91 "[In Dawson 1897] Harry Ash, the big, florid bartender from Circle City…[had the] Northern Saloon [which] was little more than a plank floor with a tent covering, but the very sawdust on the floor glittered with fine gold. On May 23, Monte Snow, a teen-age boy from Circle whose father had arrived with a theatrical troupe, walked into the saloon and was greeted by Ash, who pointed to the sawdust-covered space in front of the bar. "Take that sawdust, go down to Joe Ladue's [sawmill] and get two more sacks. Pan it out, and I'll give you what you get." Snow did not think this worth while, but when Ash offered him twenty-five dollars for all the gold he could pan from the sawdust he changed his mind. In two hours he took out two hundred and seventy-five dollars in fine dust which had sifted out of miner's pokes slapped onto the bar above. All business was transacted in gold. Banknotes, indeed, were so scarce that when the occasional twenty-dollar bill turned up it could be sold for twenty-five dollars." In another version of Monte Snow's panning for gold Ellis Lucia, in Klondike Kate 1873-1957, pages 51 and 52 relates the following. "Prices were high and climbing steadily as the rip-roaring camp [Dawson] spread out across the bottomland. Dance hall girls were getting one hundred dollars a night, plus whatever they could make on the side. Cigars went for $1.50 apiece, tea for eight-times its value "Outside," cabins for $200 a square foot, and lots for sums up to $12,000. Anyone with ingenuity and initiative quickly realized there were less strenuous ways to find gold than working at the claims, of miners were fun-loving fools. When the son of George Snow, a theatrical producer from Circle City, strode into Harry Ash's saloon one day, Ash offered him rights to the sawdust by the bar. The boy thought him crazy so Ash promise[s] him twenty-five dollars to pan it out. Inside of two hours the youth panned $275 in dust that had sifted from miners' pokes while they were standing at the bar. It wasn't long before waiters and handy men in the saloons were staking "sawdust rights" in the bars and dance halls, and the barkeeps quickly learned how to short-change the miners by underweighing pokes and keeping resin on their fingertips, to which some of the dust would stick. Yes, there were other ways of mining gold—and the early tinhorns and slickers hadn't realized as yet what a giant bonanza they were sitting upon. The Klondike soon would produce the maddest, gayest, lustiest, most expensive whing-ding in frontier history." Again in The Klondike Fever, page 379, "Monte Snow and his sister once picked up one hundred and forty-two dollars thrown at them as they danced and snag on the stage, while little Margie Newman, "The Princess of the Klondike," sometimes stood heel-deep in nuggets after she rendered a sentimental song." The Snow family mined for gold all through that cold winter of 1897-1898 and struck it rich at last. The Snows left for Seattle in 1899, carrying more than $80,000. But George Snow lost it all when he poured all their money into a theater company that failed. The family ended up so poor that Crystal had to pawn her nugget necklace. The money was used to buy tickets for the family's boat trip back to Juneau. Because Crystal had so seldom attended regular classes, sixteen-year old Crystal enrolled in school in Juneau as a fifth grader. Monte graduated in 1903 and Crystal in 1905. Crystal was the only member of the second high school class to graduate in her beloved territory of Alaska. {rancher note: Alaska was a District until 1915 when it was made a Territory} Monte at some point wrote the following poem while in Juneau: "Alaska, My Alaska" (Tune - Maryland, My Maryland) Oh Land of gold I sing of thee, Alaska, My Alaska. Thy snow capped peaks I love to See, - Alaska, My Alaska. >From Arctic ocean's frozen shore, To Baronof of Russian Lore Thy mighty rivers, I adore Alaska, My Alaska. In 67 by Seward's might Alaska, My Alaska Thy imost wealth was brought to light, - Alaska, My Alaska. Tho slow thy growth thru many a year- Thy motto has been Persevere, Thy fame is sung both far and near, Alaska, My Alaska. Oh! May thy future shine most dear, - Alaska, My Alaska. And in the hearts of men grow dear Alaska, My Alaska. Henceforth, Oh land of ice and snow, - The wealth from out Thy hills shall flow - And cast o'er all a radiant glow Alaska, My Alaska. (Composed by Monte Snow, Class of 1903, Juneau High School) Crystal became a professional singer and later a teacher. She married Dr. Jenne, a dentist, and raised three children in Juneau. She served two terms in the territorial house, only the second woman ever to do so, and she was Juneau's postmistress. Crystal Snow Jenne died in Juneau at the age of eight-four in 1968. Her life encompassed the changing of Alaska from an unexplored wilderness to the forty-ninth state in the union, a remarkable era. In Pierre Berten's The Klondike Fever pages 442 and 443 we hear of Monte Snow one more time. "Klondike legends die hard…. I call your attention to an incident that took place at a Sourdough Convention on the Pacific coast some years ago, and which featured Mike Mahoney, the hero of Merrill Denison's book Klondike Mike. For years, Mahoney, (who is popularly supposed to have carried a piano over the Chilkoot Pass) used to entertain at various gatherings by reciting Service's "The Shooting of Dan McGrew." The recital was enhanced by the fact that Mahoney claimed to have witnessed the incident and could, on request, give a glowing and detailed eyewitness account of it. When Mahoney's talent were finally pressed into service by the Sourdough association, one member, Monte Snow, decided that he had had enough. Snow…had far more right to the name "sourdough" than any others in the banquet hall that evening. His father, George Snow the entrepreneur, had taken him over the Chilkoot when Monte was still a boy. He had been brought up in Circle City before the Klondike strike and had reached Dawson early in 1897. He knew very well that there never had been a Dan McGrew in Dawson or a Malamute Saloon, and he determined to expose Mahoney. Before "Klondike Mike" could rise to speak, Snow was on his feet to announce in ringing tones that the featured guest of the evening was a charlatan making stories up out of whole cloth. But, to his dismay, the assemblage of old-timers shouted Snow down and then gave Mike Mahoney the greatest ovation of his career. They did not really want to hear the truth." Any help on this family would be appreciated. Jeanne rancher@alaska.net

There were SNOW families living in New England that may have married into AUSTIN, HIGGENS, RAND, SMITH, & WALLIS families. Does anyone have records of marriages between any of these families?

Snow, Edmond (born abt 1752, died1823 in Greenville Co. SC) Please send me information about any Edmond (or Edmund) Snow in VA or NC. I already have information about an Edmond Snow witnessing a deed in 1780 in Surry Co. NC. Edmond's wife was Sarah (possibly Robertson). Known children are: Barksdale Snow, Isham Snow, and John Robertson Snow. I would like information about any Snows or their descendants in upper South Carolina. Thanks for any help you can give me.

Daughter of Anthony Snow and Abigail Warren, Alice married Robert Barker (1649-1729). They had at least one son, Caleb Barker. Did Alice and Robert have other children besides Caleb? What are Alice's birth and death dates and locations? Mimi mbarkers@swbell.net

In the Chronological History of John Snow of Orange/Albemarle Counties, VA that I recently posted on this site, there was mention of Frost Snow. One of John's sons was Frost & Snow, Sr. (my greatx5 grandfather), who, with his son (Frost & Snow, Jr.) moved from Albemarle County, VA to Surry County, NC about 1786. However, the census records of Surry County for 1790 and 1800 show another Frost Snow there who had, by 1810, moved to Lincoln County, KY where he died ca. 1832. The origins of this third Frost Snow have remained unknown. However, about a month ago, I was in the Clerk's Office of Bedford County, VA and found, in the Court Order Books (#3, part 1, pages 479-481, 1763-1771), records of depositions given 10 December, 1768 in the trial of James Bigger for the felony charge of horse theft. One of those who gave a deposition was Frost Snow "age about 24 years". This would make his date of birth ca. 1744 and would not match either of my direct ancestors. Could this be the "third" Frost Snow of Surry County and is he a member of the Snow family that settled in Bedford/Campbell County area in the mid 18th century? Hopefully there may be further data in the records of Campbell County which was formed in 1782 from Bedford County. The 'tip" on the Bedford record came from a cousin of mine, Velpo Robertson, who has been very helpful to all of us researching the Snows of Orange and Albemarle Counties. He had been told of the presence to this record and passed the tip on to me. Kirk Sheap in VA

Here is a puzzler for you Snow Flakes: From two diaries kept by J. Elza Armstrong and John Edwin Banks on their way to the gold rush: p 7. May 19: <1849> [Armstrong] We came to the Big Blue River. We crossed without much difficulty. There were a great many wagons awaiting to cross. There was a grave on the bank of the river. It was a Catholic. The Independence road and the St. Joseph road come together. (7) [Banks] this day we crossed the Big Blue. p 8. Two big trains immediately behind us. The water is nearly three feet deep, the stream wide. Such whooping and yelling, "Who Whoy" is amusing. Today we passed the intersection of the Independece road. Saw two graves. The crosses: "I.H. Snow, her lies a Catholic," and John Graham, died March 27, 1847." The only old graves I have seen. They rest from their journey. Distance fifteen. From the Buckeye Rovers in the Gold Rush. Edited by Howard L Scamehorn, Ohio University Press. Athen Ohio 1965. The bold and underline is mine for emphasis. Anyone like to venture where our Isaac Snow, a Catholic hailed from???? The book is an interesting chronology of the these two's trip to the Gold Fields if this topic interests anyone. I found it gave a great flavor to life on the wagon trains. Ernie

Hi to all. Back on list, still seeking ancestors of Rebeckah Snow. Facts: 1. Born vicinity Providence, RI Oct. 1, 1793 2. Married Broadalbin, Montgomery (Fulton?) Co. NY May 20, 1815 to Thomas Force Palmer (1787 NJ - 1865 IL). 3. 1810 Montgomery Co. NY census lists a Joseph Palmer (her father?). 4. 1820 census living Warsaw, Genesee Co. NY with Thomas & children. 5. Next line on census shows: Samuel Snow, with wife & small children. Assume he is her brother. No proof. 6. Children born NY: Margaret McCoon Palmer. 1816/1834 dsp.; Lydia Hubbard Palmer 1817. Marr 1843 Orrin Gridley. They moved to Clear Lake IA. Died there 1903 (am searching for their descendants, possibly Iowa, names: Gridley, Duke, Rankin, Cooper, Gohlman). Chloe Allen Palmer b. 1825 marr Noah Post 1854. Died Kansas 1907. Their descendants are know. None have knowledge of Rebeckah. Joseph Snow Palmer 1819-1892. He is the first son. Descendants known. None of these names: Margaret McCoon, Lydia Hubbard, Chloe Allen, or Joseph Snow are from Palmer side. So it's possible they could be on Rebeckah's parents side. Her father thus possibly Joseph Snow or Samuel Snow (though her possible brother in 1820 census does not show as Samuel Snow, Jr.) The daughter's names . . . could one be the maiden name of Rebeckah's mother? 7. SNOW 1790 RI census lists: (I have not checked actual RI census to see possible names of those listed just before or after) . . . . Joseph Snow and 2 females. Joseph Snow and 2 males under 16, 1 female. Samuel Snow and 1 other male over 16, 2 males under 16, 4 females. Also in census are: Daniel, James, James, Josiah, Sarah, William, Zebadiah. Has anyone done any specific research or have knowledge of these 1790 RI Snows and their descendants so that some might be eliminated (e.g., no daughter named Rebeckah)? That would be a great help. 8. HUBBARD 1790 RI census. It lists 3 Hubbards. Anyone know anything or have Hubbard in their early Snow line? 9. McCOON 1790 RI census. . . didn't see any. Is one McClune. 10. ALLEN 1790 RI census . . . many of them By about 1837-38 Thomas & Rebeckah were in Sugar Grove, Kane Co. IL, and ten years later to LaSalle Co., where she died in 1854 and he 1865. Thanks for help and ideas.

Here is the second part of the information I have on John Snow of Orange/Albemarle Counties, VA. Kirk Sheap in VA 1742 (14 March [Old Style therefore 1743 today]): Louisa County, Virginia John Snow is one of the petitioners for a road to run from "Coursey's Road to Rocky Creek". He was appointed overseer of that portion of the road that ran below Buck Mountain Creek. The overseer for the portion above the creek is Henry Bunch. 1744 (12 November) : Louisa County, Virginia John Snow is to be summoned to Court for not keeping the road in good repair. 1744 (22 January [Old Style]): Louisa County, Virginia John Snow is discharged from being surveyor of the highways from Henry Bunch's road at Buck Mountain Creek to Coursey's Road. He is replaced by Andrew Rae. The presentment to the grand jury for failure to keep the road in good repair was dismissed. (Albemarle County, Virginia was formed on 16 October, 1744 but the northern portion of the present County remained part of Louisa County until 1761.) 1755: Louisa County/Albemarle County, Virginia John Snow receives a grant of 400 acres "on the branches of Buck Mountain Creek" which is land on which he was most likely already residing. 1756: Louisa/Albemarle County, Virginia John Snow receives two grants of land. One is for 200 acres "near the Great Mountains" and the other is for 119 acres "on Buck Mountain". Buck Mountain is located to the west of present day Earlysville. 1757 (21 April) : Louisa/Albemarle County, Virginia John Snow "of the County of Louisa and Parish of Fredericksville" sells 200 acres of land to Benjamin Brown of the same County and Parish. 1758 (14 March) : Louisa/Albemarle County, Virginia John Snow and his wife, Sarah, sell 200 acres of land to John Goodall of Orange County. This land is part of a tract of 400 acres on which is found "Snow's Race Ground". 1758 (September) : Bedford County, Virginia John Snow is listed as a member of the Bedford County Militia and it may be from this that the name "Trooper" is given him. Bedford County was the county adjacent to the south of Albemarle at that time and, on 27 August, 1767, the Will of John Pate of that county was witnessed by Frost Snow. (Was this the same John Snow of Louisa/Albemarle Co. or possibly a son of Henry Snow of Bedford County? As for Frost Snow, the Court Order Books of Bedford County [#3, part 1, p. 479-481] have testimony given by Frost Snow, aged about 24 years, on December, 10, 1768 in the trial of James Bigger for the theft of a horse. This may well be the �third� Frost and Snow of Surry, Co., NC) 1764 (9 March) : Albemarle County, Virginia By order of the Vestry of Fredericksville Parish, the land of John Snow is processioned. Present for John were his sons Frost and Ice. Those whose lands were also processioned or were due to be processioned but were not because of no one being present to show the lines were Capt. David Mills, Giles Rogers, James Keaton, William Dolton, William Thompson, David Fraizer, James Ennis, Thomas Jermon, Richard Vernon, Gabriel Maupin, William Hargis, John Holdbrook, John Goodall, John Martin, Samuel Garlick and Samuel Dolton. 1767 (25 November) : Albemarle County, Virginia The Vestry of Fredericksville Parish appoints William Tompson and Giles Rogers as processioners for the lands between Buck Mountain Creek and the Old Cove Road to the Ragged Mountains. The lands they later processioned or attempted to but could not because no one was present to show them the boundary lines were those of John Dickerson, Giles Rogers, George Rogers, James Ennis, Samuel Garlick, Lucy Mills, William Thomson, John Holbrook, John Goodall, James Keaton, John Martin, John Snow, Richard Vernon, and Rice Curtrie. 1769 (9 February) : Albemarle County, Virginia John Snow is listed in the Vestry Records among the insolvent in regards to his tithe due the Fredericksville Parish. Note is made that he is "twice listed". 1783 (11 February) : Albemarle County, Virginia John and Sarah Snow sell to Robert Keen of Albemarle County 200 acres of land. This is witnessed by Frost & Snow, Richard Snow, and Frost & Snow. 1784 (July) : Albemarle County, Virginia The Will of John Snow, dated 1769, is probated. In it, he leaves his estate to his wife, Sarah, and, at her death, to his son, Richard. This will was witnessed, in 1769, by Achilles Rogers, Giles Rogers and William Cave. Besides what is mentioned above, the Records of the Vestry of Fredericksville Parish (Albemarle County) contain many mentions of John Snow along with his other sons Frost, Ice (who died in 1779 in Albemarle County) and John (who is termed an "idiot"). There is no mention that I can find in these Vestry Records of Richard. There is, however, a mention, on 25 November, 1767, of a refund of an overpayment of a levy being made to "John Davis Snow's son". This may not be our John Snow since he is also mentioned in the same minutes.

I recently mentioned that I was researching John Snow of Spotsylvania/Orange County, Va who later moved to Albemarle County. Here, in several parts is a chronological history of him. Kirk Sheap in VA. JOHN SNOW OF ALBEMARLE COUNTY, VIRGINIA A CHRONOLOGICAL HISTORY 1732 (< 5 April) : Spotsylvania County, Virginia John Snow is mentioned in the County Court Orders as security for Benjamin Hensley in a trespass case. 1734 (January) : Orange County, Virginia John Snow is named as an overseer of a highway and later as "surveyor" of the highway "from Todd's Path to Chew's Mill". Orange County was formed from Spotsylvania County on 20 September, 1734. (Please remember that until the calendar correction in 1752, New Year's Day was 25 March so that 1734 of that time ran from 25 March of what we today would call 1734 through 24 March of what we would today call 1735.) 1736 : Orange County, Virginia John Snow receives a grant for 400 acres of land. This may well have been land on which he was already residing. It is believed that this land lies on the south side of present day U.S. 33 about 6 1/4 miles east of present day Ruckersville (the junction of U.S. 33 and U.S. 29) He is also mentioned in a tithable list as having 11 tithables in his household. (As of May, 1723, a tithable in The Colony of Virginia was defined as all white males 16 years of age and older as well as all male and female Negroes, Mulattos and Indians who would be taxed to defray County Court and Vestry expenses except those the Court excused for reasons of charity.) On 26 July, John Snow was summoned to Court on the charge of having committed "trespass, assault and battery; damage 20 pounds current money" on John Red but the charges were subsequently dismissed. 1740 (May) : Orange County, Virginia John Snow brought a suit of attachment against the estate of Patrick Walsh (Welch) and won. 1740 (July) : Orange County, Virginia John Snow and his wife, Sarah, lease and release two parcels of land in St. Mark's Parish. One is of 206 acres at "John Bryson's line" and is to Henry Rodgers of Spotsylvania County. The other is of 200 acres "in a valley" to Matthew Gayle of Spotsylvania County. Both are witnessed by John Mallory. For both, Sarah relinquishes her right of dower. The deed to Matthew Gayle is also witnessed by Henry Rogers (signed this way) while that to Henry Rodgers (?Rogers) is witnessed by Matthew Gayle. 1741 : Orange County, Virginia John Snow served on a jury in the case of Thomas Redd vs. David Gayle. 1742 (24 March) : Orange County, Virginia John Snow, now recorded as living in Louisa County, Virginia, sell two parcels of land of 200 acres each. One is to John Halford of King and Queen County and the other is to Thomas Ballard of Orange County. The land is recorded as being in St. Thomas' Parish. There is no record mentioned of Sarah relinquishing any right of dower to this property. (St. Thomas' Parish was formed from St. Mark's in 1743 but is this date for the formation of St. Thomas' from the old style calendar or the new?)

I have been researching the Snow family of Orange/Albemarle County, VA. The first such record deals with John Snow (my greatx6 grandfather) who "appeared" in Spotsylvania County (Orange was formed from Spotsylvania in 1734) in 1732. There are several mentions of a John Snow in Accomack County, VA in the 17th century as well as a mention of a John Snow in the Colonial Records of VA on June 10th, 1679. Here an order is given to Capt. Talbot to discharge "John Snow, a tobacconist and recently a planter in Virginia, was recently impressed on his return to the colony on a merchant ship." I am interested in the possibility that this John Snow may have been a resident of Accomack County and any information on him and his family would be greatly appreciated. There are Snows listed in the Vestry records of Christ Church Parish in Middlesex County, VA in the early (1730's) 18th century and this county is located across the Chesapeake Bay from Accomack County and is on the Rappahannock River, a waterway by which many moved west into such areas of the Colony of VA as Spotsylvania County. Any information on the Snows of Accomack and Middlesex/Essex Counties would be greatly appreciated. Kirk Sheap in VA.

Does anyone have info about a William Snow who apparently was married to Nancy Tinsley and signed a deed in Barren Co., KY in the 1840s? Nancy's family (and possibly William's) was from Amherst Co., KY, Sumner Co., TN, and probably Allen or Barren Co., KY. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, GayNell

All on Snow list . . . I continue my search for ancestors of Rebeckah Snow, born vicinity of Providence, RI on Oct 1, 1793 and died LaSalle Co. IL Oct 26, 1854. She married to Thomas Force Palmer on Oct 20/20 1815 at Broadalbin, Montgomery Co. NY. Names of her parents presently unknown. In the Warsaw, Genesee Co NY 1820 census, Thos. & R. are living next door to a Smauel Snow. I suspect he would have been her brother. In the 1800 census there is a Joseph Snow living in Montgomery Co. NY. Thos. & R. named their first son, b. NY 1819: Joseph Snow Palmer. Their first dau. was Margaret McCoon Palmer. 2nd dau. Lydia Hubbard Palmer. Neither of those names appear anywhere in the Palmer line, and so likely were names on the Snow side. Anyone have any ideas? Please see attached from Bruce V. Snow and let us know if you can help. Thanks. Peter Burrows, Annapolis, MD

Hi Rooters, I'm looking for the parents of Churchill Snow born 8/11/1794 in Bridgewater MA, died 3/23/1873 in Chicopee, MA who married Eunice BOLTON 9/9/1820 somewhere. They had a son Eliab born 1827 in Chicopee who married Lydia or Linda BISBEE. Thanks, Sue smartin@javanet.com

There could be an intention recorded in Spencer? Should you link her to this Augusta in Spencer and do not have information going back on the Richard Snow of Woburn line, drop me an e-mail and I'll see if I can be of further help. Did not find any Zenas Snow or Barizillia Snow who seemed to be associated with the Richard Snow of Woburn line. These sould like decendants of Nicholas Snow of Eastham and Plymouth, Mass. Several of their descendants removed to New Hampshire and Vemont. Another Augusta T Snow b 19 Oct 1831 in Brewster, Mass and daughter of Obed Snow and Temperance (Winslow). As yet, I have not identified her husband, if indeed she married. Her line is as Such Augusta (7) , Obed (6) , Reuben (5), Nathaniel (4), Edward (3), Lieut Jabez (2), Nicholas (1) Another Augusta Snow b. 16 July 1841 in Swansey, N.H. m. Nathaniel Henry b. 13 Jan 1848. This undocumented data comes from the History of Swanzey p 448. She is the daughter of Edwin Snow and his wife Hannah ______. This Augusta Snow's line goes as follows: Augusta (9), Edwin (8) Peter (7) Ivory (6) Joshua (5,4) Nicholas (3) Marke (2) Nicholas (1) and Contance Hopkins (2) Stephen (1). Have found some errors in the History of Swanzey data. Have excellent documentation from Peter (7) back to Nicholas (1) after Peter have not confirmed the History of Swanzey data with vital records appropriate New Hampshire towns. Swanzey, N.H. is located about 20 miles east of the VT/NH border and some fromt this family removed into Vermont. While is probably doubtfull this is your VT Augusta it is one to keep in mind if all other leds fail. Drop me an e-mail if I can be of further help or if you connect through documentation your VT. Augusta. Best Regards Ernie Christensen, Fort Myers, Florida

To further clarify Delaware and Mayflower, Stephen Hopkins' Mayflower Families book follows the descendants of those who came to Plymouth. The "Mayflower Families, Vol. 6, 1st edition. Now a later 2nd edition has come out with corrections. In this book he follows the family of Stephen Hopkins through 5 generations. His daughter, Constance by his first wife, married Nicolas Snow at Plymouth, Massachusetts. They had 12 children one of which was John B. Snow. John B. Snow married Mary Smalley and they had 9 children one of which was Isaac. Isaac married Alice Unknown and by 1720 had moved to Delaware where William B. Snow was born. To follow just one passenger, Constance Hopkins, took me to Delaware, North Carolina. I followed the line through Tennessee, Arkansas to Washington and later to Alaska where I am now. Probably the first 12 children stayed pretty close to Plymouth but by later years the descendents were in Maine, Connecticut and many more "states". Jeanne rancher@alaska.net
