Deputy to the General Court from 1648 to 1652. Selectman from 1663 to 1670. Also surveyor of highways. He was born in England and died at Eastham November 16, 1676. About 1625 he married at Plymouth Constance Hopkins, daughter of Stephen Hopkins, both of whom came on the Mayflower in 1620. From this union came 12 children. His home was at Skaket, now Orleans. To commemorate his sturdy manhood with the assurance of his faithful service to the company of pioneers with which he was associated, this memorial is erected by his descendant in five lines, Elbridge Gerry Snow, 1916." http://www.capecodgravestones.com/easthampixweb/snow77cove.html http://www.pilgrimhall.org/hopkinsconstance.htm | SNOW, Nicholas (I77066)

| 4310 | A reading of Coburns Creek Cemetery conducted in 1999 and reported in "Cemeteries of Union District, Harrison County, W.Va.," p. 4, reports the death date on Nancy McGlothian's headstone as Aug 8 1888. But her death record clearly shows that she died at Zypho (a community that no longer exists), Harrison County, on Aug 8 1898, age 86. Her parents were identified as John & Millie Snider.
