About Mary Snow

Mary (Snow) Paine was related to a passenger on the Mayflower.

Biography

Mary Snow was born probably about 1630 at Plymouth Colony, the daughter of Nicholas Snow and his wife, Constance (Hopkins) Snow.[1] She married Thomas Paine sometime before April 1651.[1]

The nine children of Thomas Paine and Mary Snow Paine were:

Mary Paine, (eldest child)[1][2] married first James Rogers;[2][3] married second 24 April 1679 Israel Cole;[2][3] died before 21 January 1723/4[4]

Samuel Paine, born about 1652;[1] married 31 January 1682 Patience Freeman[2][3] (see research notes); died 13 October 1712[2]

Thomas Paine, born about 1656/7;[1] married first 5 August 1678 Hannah Shaw;[5][6] married second 8 March 1714/5 Elizabeth Tolman;[7][8] died 23 June 1721[9]

Elisha Paine, aka Eleazer, born 10 March 1658;[1][10] married 20 January 1685 Rebecca Doane;[2] died 7 February 1736[2]

John Paine, born 14 March 1660/1;[1] married first Bennett Freeman;[3][11] married second Alice Mayo;[3][11] died 26 October 1731[11]

Nicholas Paine, married about 1699 Hannah Higgins;[3][12] died before 16 January 1733[12]

James Paine, born 6 July 1665;[1] married 9 April 1691 Bethiah Thacher;[3][13] died 12 November 1728[14]

Joseph Paine, born after April 1666;[1] married 27 May 1691 Patience Sparrow;[15][16] died 1 October 1712[17][18]

Dorcas Abigail Paine, married about 1689 Benjamin Vickery;[3][19] d. 30 Oct 1707[19]

There is little other record of Mary Snow Paine, but she was said to have been a "faithful wife, a careful mother, a good and quiet neighbor, and a diligent reader of God's Holy Word." Her son, Deacon John Paine , wrote of her last hours and death in his diary, as follows: "On the 28th day of April, 1704, my honoured mother, Mary Paine, departed this life, being suddenly taken and struck with death, she having been in reasonable health all day, was taken ill about sunset so she never after spoke reasonable but decaying gradually gave up the Ghost about the dawning of the day..."[20] Mary (Snow) Paine predeceased her husband Thomas by several years.[1]

Research Notes

Massachusetts Marriage Records have as the recorded date of Samuel Paine and Patience Freeman's marriage 31 January 1689.[21] The original record for their marriage can be seen in the Eastham VRs, and the marriage year is 1682.[22]

About Nicholas Snow

NOTE: From The American Genealogist XIV:229, the theory is posed that he was the Nicholas Snow, son of Nicholas Snow (and Elizabeth (Rowles) Snow), baptized on Jan 25,1599/1600 in St.Leonards's Shoreditch, London. However, an article in the Spring 2013 Mayflower Descendant indicates that this child was buried three days later. So the birth/baptism, and the parents, of the Nicholas Snow who married Constance Hopkins are still not known with certainty.

He married, before May 22,1627, Constance Hopkins of the Mayflower Pilgrims. That is the date of the Plymouth Cattle Division and they are listed as a married couple as the 6th & 7th persons in the 7th company, which was headed by her father, Stephen Hopkins.

Children: Mark Snow, Mary Snow Paine, Sarah Snow Walker, Joseph Snow, Stephen Snow, John Snow, Elizabeth Snow Rogers, Jabez Snow, Ruth Snow Cole, two unnamed children who were living in 1651, and Constance Snow Doane*. Constance, if she existed at all, was their youngest child -- no further children were born subsequent to 1651.

*The last daughter is not mentioned by name in the article on Nicholas Snow in Great Migration Begins, Vol III (1995), pp.1701-4. However, she is included among his children by name in Mayflower Families, Vol 6, "Stephen Hopkins", pp. 9,10.

Origins

His parents are unknown. Please do not add parents for Nicholas without citing sources. Thank you!

The Nicholas Snowe who was baptized 25 Jan 1599/1600 in St. Leonard Shoreditch, Hoxton, North London, was buried 3 days later on 28 January.

Please see: Caleb Johnson, "Nicholas Snow: Not from St. Leonard Shoreditch, London," Mayflower Descendant 62: 1 (Spring 2013), 39 ff.

_______________________

Constance Hopkins (baptized May 11, 1606 – October 1677), also sometimes listed as Constanta. She was probably born in Hursley, Hampshire, England. Constance was the second daughter of Stephen Hopkins, by his first wife, Mary. Some believe she was named in honor of Constance (Marline) Hopkins. Constance, at the age of fourteen, along with her father and his second wife Elizabeth (Fisher), accompanied by brother Giles, half-sister Damaris as well as two servants by the name of Edward Doty and Edward Lester were passengers on the Mayflower on its journey to the New World in 1620. Along the way her half-brother Oceanus was born, the only child born on the Mayflower journey. Her headstone marker, placed in 1966 by descendants, states in part “Wife of Nicholas Snow, Eastham’s first town clerk 1646 – 1662”.

Constance married Nicholas, sometime before the Division of Cattle which occurred May 22, 1627. Nicholas came to Plymouth on board the ship Anne in 1623 and was made a freeman at Plymouth in 1633. The inventory of Nicholas Snow's estate made at his death lists a wide variety of cooper's and carpenter's tools; this may indicate his trade. He was town clerk at Eastham and held several other local government offices.

According to Governor William Bradford, who wrote between March 6 and April 3, 1651:

“Constanta is also married, and hath 12 children all of them living, and one of them married”.

Stephen b. Plymouth, 1636, married (1) Susanna Rogers (Deane), daughter of Stephen Deane, married (2) Mary Bigford (Cottle, Bickford), daughter of Edward Cottle and Judith, last name unknown

John b. Plymouth, December 11, 1638, married Mary Smalley, a twin daughter of John Smalley and Ann Walden

Elizabeth b. Plymouth, 1640, married Thomas Rogers, son of Joseph Rogers, the son of Pilgrim, Thomas Rogers

Jabez b. Plymouth, 1642, married Elizabeth, last name unknown, she was possibly the daughter of Ralph Smith

Ruth b. Plymouth, 1644, married Lieutenant John Cole Sr., son of Daniel Cole and Ruth Chester

Josiah Paine, a Town Clerk and historian of Harwich wrote “Nicholas and Constance had a dau. named for her mother who was the first wife of Daniel Doane of Eastham…”

Constance (unproved), b. Plymouth, married Daniel Doane

unnamed

Anthony (not if he was born in 1619), b. Plymouth, married Abigail Warren, daughter of Richard Warren

Constance Hopkins is the central character in Patricia Clapp's young adult novel Constance: A Story of Early Plymouth.

Any time I see the marriage location listed as "Westminster, St Martin Fields, London," (in that order) I know we have trouble. See problems with the dates for three (3) Nicholas Snows in Middlesex between 1559 and 1599/1600. (and the mythical

"Elizabeth HARWOODE" and the "Bowes, Yorkshire" problem)

-- http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.snow/2864/mb.ashx . .. . .

The Nicholas that everyone is trying to identify as the husband of Constance Hopkins, isn't. The Nicholas baptized 25 Jan 1599/1600 was BURIED 3 days later. See http://socrates.berkeley.edu/~ahnelson/PARISH/Leonard.html

See how the 1644 death date for Elizabeth ROWLLES got invented

-- http://boards.ancestry.com/surnames.snow/2863/mb.ashx. . . . All these people are already duplicated (mostly with errors). No need to add new IDs for anyone who thinks they're even remotely connected to the Mayflower. People have been making stuff up for them for the last 100 years and none of it has panned out. We know who got married when and they're never seen again. Always looking for any actual records (not family trees) anyone can provide. Thanks.

Snow History, Family Crest & Coats of Arms

Snow is a name of Anglo-Saxon origin and came from the baptismal name for the son of Snow, a personal name in the same group of names that also included Winter and Frost. These personal names were given to children as a result of prevailing weather conditions during their birth. Baptismal names began to appear as surnames relatively late in the growth of the naming tradition. This is a little surprising, given the popularity of biblical figures in the Christian countries of Europe. Nevertheless, surnames derived from baptismal names grew in popularity during the Middle Ages, and have become one of the foremost sources for surnames.

Early Origins of the Snow Family

Snow Spelling Variations

Spelling variations in names were a common occurrence before English spelling was standardized a few hundred years ago. In the Middle Ages, even the literate spelled their names differently as the English language incorporated elements of French, Latin, and other European languages. Many variations of the name Snow have been found, including Snow, Snowe and others.
