Stephen Snow was born in 1681, the 3rd son of Joseph Snow and his wife Mary (Higgins) Snow. He was born on Cape Cod, in the town of Eastham, settled by his grandparents in 1645, Barnstable County, Plymouth Colony, New England (later called "Massachusetts"). Some accounts state that he was a "mariner" or seaman in his youth - perhaps a fisherman as that was a common profession at that time and place. In his youth he was called "Stephen Jr" to distinguish him from his uncle, Stephen Snow. Later, he had a son, Stephen Snow Jr.[1]

Biography

Stephen Snow was born in 1681, the 3rd son of Joseph Snow and his wife Mary (Higgins) Snow. He was born on Cape Cod, in the town of Eastham, settled by his grandparents in 1645, Barnstable County, Plymouth Colony, New England (later called "Massachusetts"). Some accounts state that he was a "mariner" or seaman in his youth - perhaps a fisherman as that was a common profession at that time and place. In his youth he was called "Stephen Jr" to distinguish him from his uncle, Stephen Snow. Later, he had a son, Stephen Snow Jr.[1]

On July 12, 1705, in Eastham, Stephen married Margaret Elkins, b. April 26, 1683, in Salem, Essex Co., Massachusetts Bay Colony, New England. They had 10 children together:[2]

MARGARET SNOW b: 14 MAY 1706 in Eastham, Barnstable, MA STEPHEN SNOW b: 21 MAR 1708 in Eastham, Barnstable, MA LYDIA SNOW b: 26 MAR 1710 in Eastham, Barnstable, MA SARAH SNOW b: 13 FEB 1711/12 in Eastham, Barnstable, MA ELKINS SNOW b: 24 MAR 1713/14 in Eastham, Barnstable, MA JANE SNOW b: 22 APR 1716 in Eastham, Barnstable, MA ROBERT SNOW b: 22 FEB 1717 in Eastham, Barnstable, MA JOHN SNOW b: 30 MAR 1720 in Eastham, Barnstable, MA MERCY SNOW b: 12 DEC 1725 in Eastham, Barnstable, MA RUTH SNOW b: 12 DEC 1725 in Eastham, Barnstable, MA With such a large family to raise, and possibly when he inherited some land from older members of the Snow "clan" of Eastham, Stephen became in independent property owner and farmer. His 1769 Will calls him a "yeoman" indicative of owning property.

Stephen Snow died in August 1769 in Eastham, Barnstable, Massachusetts Bay Province, New England.
