He lived in Hinds Co., MS, 1850-1920. Update 24 September 1999. Hi Pat, Ernie Christensen here in Fort Myers, Florida. In the unpublished typed manuscript titled: The Richard Snow Family, complied by, George Burwell Snow, D.D.S. with copies of the manuscript placed in several libraries by his wife about 1923. The manuscript, unfortunately contains no documentation, but I've found in using it, there is a high degree of acuracy. Great pathfinder leading you to seek out the actual sources. Think it might be your Mark, but further reaseach is required. p 185 Mark Snow <7th generation from Richard Snow of Woburn> son of Samuel and Dorothea (Richardson) Snow, b. _____. Studied medicine in Rochester, N.Y. commenced practice in State of Ohio.
