Ruth in NC Plymouth Colony: Its History and People 1620-1691 Part Three: Biographical Sketches Biographical Sketches Snow, Nicholas xxx �Of the three Snows who married into Mayflower families, Anthony came over the latest, being first recorded on 7 May 1638 when he requested three acres of land from the court (PCR 1:83). On 9 November 1639 he married Abigail Warren, daughter of Mayflower passenger Richard Warren (PCR 1:134). He served on the grand jury and in other public capacities. He moved to Marshfield, and later, on 5 June 1651, he became a freeman (PCR 2:167). He served as a constable for Marshfield and as a Marshfield deputy. He died in August 1692, having made his will 28 December 1685, codicil 8 August 1692, and in it he named his wife Abigail; his son Josias Snow; his daughters Lydia, Sarah, and Alice; his grandson James Ford; his daughter Abigail's children; his granddaughters Hannah and Abigail Ford; his son Josias's wife; and his brother Joseph Warren was to be one of the overseers (MD 5:1). His daughter Abigail had married Michael Ford. Anthony also had a son who died young. As is shown by a deed (PCR 12:176) from Thomas Church to Anthony Snow and Richard Church, Snow was a feltmaker by trade. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ -- Plymouth Colony: Its History and People 1620-1691 Part Three: Biographical Sketches Biographical Sketches Snow, William xxx �Nicholas arrived on the Anne in 1623, and by the time of the 1627 division he was married to Mayflower passenger Constance Hopkins, daughter of Stephen. Banks wrote that he was of Hoxton, County Middlesex. He was a Purchaser and was on the 1633 freeman list. On 5 January 1634/35, the servant of Nicholas Snow, unnamed, was willing to serve out his time with John Cooper, according to the terms of the indenture (PCR 1:33). Twyford West, whose indenture had been assigned by Edward Winslow to Nicholas Snow, complained to Winslow that he disliked being with Snow, and on 11 February 1635/36 voluntarily increased his indenture from six to seven years in consideration of Winslow reacquiring his indenture from Snow (PCR 1:37). Snow served as highway surveyor, on the grand jury, and in other similar positions, and as a Purchaser he enjoyed various land grants. On 1 December 1640 he was one of several highway surveyors presented for not mending the highways (PCR 2:5). He was one of the Plymouth residents moving to Nauset in the 1640s, and he was a surveyor, deputy, tax collector, constable, and selectman there (PCR, passim). In 1664 he was among those allowed to bring liquors into Eastham (PCR 4:100). He died 15 November 1676, having made his will 14 November 1676, and he named his wife Constant and his sons Mark, Joseph, Stephen, John, and Jabez, and after his wife's death his livestock and moveable estate would be divided among all his children (MD 3:167). He also had married daughters Mary, Sarah, Elizabeth, and Ruth, and Bowman thought he had three other probably married daughters. For additional information see Mrs. M. L. T. Alden, "The Snow Genealogy," NEHGR 47:81, 186, 341, 48:71, 188, 49:71, 202, 451, 51:204, 64:284, which should be used cautiously.
