Notes:

John was 60 years old when he died at Duck Creek, Kent County, Delaware. He settled at Truro on property given to his father by grandfather Nicholas Snow. John bought land at Lebanon, CT in 1710-11 and was founder of the Truro Church (Truro, Barnstable County, MA) 1 November 1711. Elizabeth Snow, wife of John, was admitted to the church 30 August 1713. He served as deacon from 1717/18 to 1726/27 and as Truro's town clerk. On 20, November 1721, Deacon John Snow, wife, Elizabeth and son, Joshua witnessed the will of Joseph Young of Truro; she swore as to attestation on 30 January 1722/23 and Deacon John swore 4 July 1723. On 11 January 1726/7 he was chosen ruling elder of the Truro Church. On 31 March 1728, he was "discarded for suspected adultery and other misdemeanors." Probably as result of his troubles, he moved ca 1728 to Duck Creek (now Smyrna), Kent Co. DE where his brothers, Elisha and Isaac had settled in 1711. John was there by 7 May 1729 when brother Isaac sold him 246 acres on the north side of the southwest branch of Duck Creek. John conveyed this tract to brother Elisha 11 Nov. 1734, with brother Isaac serving as witness and no spouse participating.

The will of John Snow of Kent Co. Delaware, dated 9 oct 1738 and proved 14 Oct. 1738, mentioned wife, Hannah and son David; brother, Isaac was named executor, and witnesses were Elisha Snow, Abraham Cockrill and Thomas Harrod.

The first wife, Elizabeth apparently remained on Cape Cod. She may be the Elizabeth Snow whose cattle mark was recorded at Truro 29 April 1736. No record of divorce or probate has been found for her. John's children by his first wife appear to have remained on Cape cod and were not mentioned in his Delaware will. They are identified in a family record prepared by his grandson, Dr. Samuel Nye (1749-1834) as follows:

"Children of my maternal grandfather; Joshua Snow, Isaac, Anthony, Amasa, Ambrose, John, Elizha, Mrs. Annable (Elizabeth Snow), Mrs. Young and Mary Nye."

Notes:

Nicholas, born in England, lived to be 77 years old. He came to New England on the "Anne" in 1623 leaving from Southampton. He settled in Plymouth and became a freeman in 1633. He worked during his life as a carpenter.
His wife, Constance Hopkins Snow came over on the "Mayflower" with her father, step-mother and other siblings.

Crossing the Atlantic in the same boat was Anthony Annable, his wife, Jane Momford and small daughter, Sarah. Descendants of these two families would
join together three generations later.

One source says he was born in Shoreditch, London, Enlgand (Laurie McDaniel Howland/http://www.ilos.net/~lhowland/html-ne/dat280.htm)

Nicholas was made a freeman at Plymouth in 1633, ten years after his arrival in New England. He was named in 1634 to lay out highways at Plymouth, and he served there as arbitrator, surveyor of highways and on juries. By 165 he had settled at Eastham where he served as clerk, selectman, deputy, constable, highway surveyor, excise collector and on court committees.

The will of Nicholas Snow of Eastham, dated 14 November, 1676 and proved 5 March 1676/77, left livestock and household goods to wife Constant for life use and then to son, Jabez, and devised various parcels of land to sons, Mark, Joseph, Steven, John and Jabez. The description of land near the testator's house mentioned "son Thomas Paine" (actually son-in-law) as an abutting owner. Nicholas also gave, after the death of his wife, the sum of ten shillings "to the Church of Eastham for the furniture of the Table of the Lord, with pewter or other necessaries." He named Deacon Samuel Freeman and John Mayo as executors. Letters of administration were granted to Constan, Mark and John Snow on 6 March 1676/77. A lengthy inventory, including many cooper's and carpenter's tools, was sworn to by widow Constant on 22 March 1676/77.

Governor Bradford wrote between 6 March and 3 April 1651 that "Constanta is also maried, and hath 12 children all of them living, and one of them married.

Note:The last three children, alive in 1651 as per Governor Bradford's account, may be sons who predeceased their father,Nicholas Snow without issue, thus not mentioned in his will; or may be daughters. Note that Nicholas did not specifcally name his daughters in his will. Josiah Paine, town clerk and historian of Harwich, wrote that Nicholas and Constance had a daughter named for her mother who was the first wife of Daniel Doane of Eashtam. Daniel was born probably in Plymouth, ca 1636; d. Eastham 29 Dec. 1712 in the 76th year of his life.

Nicholas married Hopkins Constance before 22 May 1627 in Plymouth, Plymouth County, MA. Constance (daughter of Hopkins Stephen and Machell Mary, perhaps) was christened on 11 May 1606 in Parish of Hursley, All Saints Church, Hampshire County, England; died on 25 Oct 1677 in Eastham, Barnstable County, Ma. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]

Notes:

She lived to be 70 years old. All of her children survived to adulthood.

In the Mayflower Passenger List by William Bradford, he called her "Constanta". He said she and her husband lived twenty years in Plymouth Plantation. William Bradford wrote "Of Plymouth Plantation" between the years of 1630-1654.

Constance came on the Mayflower with her family. Nicholas Snow came on the Anne in 1623 and was made a freeman at Plymouth in 1633.
In the will of Nicholas, a lengthy inventory, including many cooper's and carpenter's tools, was sworn to by widow Constant on 22 March,1676/77.

Govenor Bradford wrote between 6 March and 3 April 1651 that "Constanta is also maried, and hath 12 children all of them living, and one of them married.

Notes:

Notes:

John came to New England on the "Francis and James" (or was it the William and Francis?) with Winslow in 1632, arriving in Boston on June 5th. He resided in Plymouth and became a freeman on March 1, 1642. He removed to Eastham, Barnstable County in 1645 and Piscataway by 1670 with the first settlers.

During the time he lived in Eastham, he was the Constable in 1646, Surveyor in 1649 and was part of the Grand Inquest of 1654, 1660 and 1665. Land was granted to him in 1658 between Bridgewater and Weymouth and in 1662 near Taunton.
