Hi Diane, and the rest of the SNOW mailing list. Yes, I'm aware of the links you mention for the Woburn Richard Snow; in fact, before I knew better I sent them in to the Ancestral File as fact. But in checking into it, it doesn't seem to be correct since the Richard Snow's in Barnstaple were still there in 1642 to sign the Protestation Role in Barnstaple and our Richard Snow was in Woburn, MA on a tax list in 1642. The Annis Barrat supposition as his wife comes from the fact that on the ship Expedition which had a Richard Snow on it in 1635 (I think it was) to Barbados, there was an Annis Baratt, the only person named somewhat like the Woburn Richard's wife Avis's name. So people seem to have assumed they got married. But there is no proof that the Barbados Richard is our Woburn Richard and likewise there is no proof that the Barbados Richard and Annis ever got married. Nor that the Barbados Richard was the Barnstaple one. In short, everything that I have seen is supposition about our Woburn Richard. The ages of the Barbados Richard and the Barnstaple Richard are off by a year or two and there is no evidence that the Barbados Richard ever came north to America. There is a Snow living in Bridgetown, Barbados right now who is trying to check out that Richard for me to see what became of him and who he married. If it turns out that that's our Richard, that gets us one step closer to identifying him in England. But the ship that Richard came on from England sailed from Gravesend, which is way over east of London, not from the West Country around Barnstaple, Devon at all. So the next problem would be to find which Richard that one was in England. Also, the pattern for naming kids was to name them for grandparents and other family members and there are no Patricks, etc., among the Woburn Richard's descendants and no John's, etc, among Patrick's relatives. My kids and I have had a major project for many years of trying to put the Snow families together in England and in America to see if we can find a clue as to which England Richard is our's (and your's). We've got all the Barnstaple and Hartland Snows put together in families, as much as we can do now, and none looks like it fits. We even made up a computer index to the entire Barnstaple and Hartland Parish Registers in this project. We've sent copies of those indexes to several libraries, including the FH Library in Salt Lake City, and the County Record Office in Barnstaple. Another thing I'm trying to check out now is a Richard Snow from Glouster who was a son of a John Snow there and who couldn't probate his father John's will in 1645 due to some reason that we don't know yet. I've seen the will in the PRO in London with the notation on the side that son Richard couldn't probate it. I need someone in Glouster to go to the County Record Office there and see if there is any info in that Record Office about it. If the reason that Richard couldn't probate his father's will was that he was in America then, then that's our Richard. I've gone through all the Snow wills in England for that time period to see if any mention a relative in America, and so far, none do. My descent from the Woburn Richard is through his first son John (We don't know where he was born, either.), Zerubbabel, John, Zerubbabel, Levi, Erastus, Erastus Beaman, Eldon, me. If anyone has any more info on all this, please let me know. Don Snow At 11:45 PM 9/24/97 -0700, you wrote: ><snip> > > My SNOW line is through Richard SNOW of Woburn, MA, in the late >>1600's.

Yes, I found a copy in London at the Society of Genealogists' Library in 1990 and xeroxed it there. We were spending 6 months in London then, so I wrote to James G. Snow in New York from London and heard nothing from him. When I got back to the States I telephoned and his wife told me he had died in the late 1980's and that their attorney son who lives in Brooklyn, NY, I think, had all his genealogy stuff and would continue on the SNOW research. I think she said he got most of his info from the New York Public Library. I haven't heard anything from them since about 1992 and I never followed up to contact the son. Somewhere I have his name written down. Their SNOW line came to America through Newfoundland and Maine, if I remember correctly. My SNOW line is through Richard SNOW of Woburn, MA, in the late 1600's. We don't know where he came from in England, though most people assume he was from Barnstaple, Devon, England, but there is no proof and a good deal of evidence that he wasn't from there at all. I happen also to be descended from Nicholas Snow of the Mayflower people, but on my mother's side.
