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.
