    1. [SNOW] REBECKAH SNOW (1790-1854) RI-NY-IL.
    2. I continue to seek information about REBECKAH SNOW. She is name sake of our daughter, and was my grandfather's grandmother. Beyond that I know little, most particularly names and info of her parents is unknown. Additional details are: Rebeckah Snow was born at Providence RI on Oct. 1, 1790 (d. 1854 IL). Her father may have been Joseph Snow, likely b. ca. 1765 +/- She probably had a brother Samuel Snow. Sometime before 1815 her family moved to Galway NY or vicinity, and she was married May 30, 1815 at Broadalbin, NY to Thomas F. Palmer (1787-1865) Their five children were all b. NY: Margaret McCoon (sp?) Palmer b. 1816 prob. Galway NY. died 1834 unmarr Chatham, Medina Co, OH 1832 Lydia Hubbard Palmer b. 1817 NY marr 1839 Orrin Gridley prob. Chatham OH. She died 1903 poss Clear Lake IA. I have names of her children and am researching (with difficulty) her descendants. Joseph Snow Palmer, b. 1819 at Warsaw, Genesse Co. NY (in 1841 this became Wyoming Co), marr. OH 1845, died 1892, bur at Prairie Center, IL. I have names of his children and am researching descendants, with some luck. Eliza Ann Palmer b. 1822 at Warsaw. Marr 1841 Lorin A. Williams. Both died IA. All desc. have been traced. Chloe Allen Palmer b. 1825 at Warsaw. Marr 1854 Noah Post. D. 1894. All desc. have been traced. Ephraim Milo Palmer b. 1828 Conewango, Cattauragus Co. NY. marr Prairie Center IL 1858 Sarah H. Butler. All desc. have been traced. Ephraim was the name of Thomas F. Palmer’s father. I have struggled with the source of these names, hoping that they would provide clues to the names of Rebeckah's parents. So far not too much luck. None of the above children's names except for Ephraim relate in any way to the family of Thomas F. Palmer, So I remain convinced that children’s names must relate to Rebeckah's ancestors. Only the last, Ephraim, has a Palmer related name on the husbands side. So I surmise that the names of her 1st son, and three daughters must have been on Rebeckah's parent's side; possibly her mother or either/both of her grandmothers, etc. 1820 census, Warsaw, Genessee Co., NY Rebeckah and her husband and small children are listed next door to Samuel Snow, also with wife and small children. Anyone on the list have anything which might connect to the above? Peter Burrows, Annapolis, MD
