Richard Snow, born 1608 in Devon, sailed for the New World in November 1635 on the "Expedition" and was sent to Barbados. It is probable that he there met and married Annis Avis (called "Annie") Barrat who arrived in Barbados in 1635.[1]

Richard and Annis must have decided they preferred to raise their family in America because they left Barbados in approximately 1638. If they married in 1638, in Barbados, this explains the oft-cited September 16, 1638, birth date for their first son, John Snow, in Massachusetts. And they may have renewed their marriage vows in New England if proper records of the first marriage had not been preserved... It is highly unlikely they would have been admitted to the colony with a "bastard" son.

It should be noted that the IGI (Int'l Genealogical Index) records a marriage between Richard SNOW and Annis BARRITT in Bristol, England, in November 1635. As she was from the same village as Richard Snow, they may have married before embarking together on the Expedition.[2]

All of this data, from original sources, supports that Richard Snow was from Barnstaple, Devon, and emigrated first to Barbados and then to Massachusetts. His wife was Annis Avis "Annie" (Barrat) Snow.

I think we should adopt the IGI record of 20 Nov 1635 in Bristol, England, for their marriage.[3]
