Research notes

Her mother, Hannah may or may not have been Hannah Snow, the granddaughter of Mayflower passenger Constance (Hopkins) Snow,^[3] but the Mayflower Society has been approving applications through her children's lines for many decades.^[4] No primary sources have been located to prove the maiden name of Hezekiah Doane's wife. No marriage record for this couple is extant. Hannah Snow's father, John Snow did not leave a will, and probate records did not name his children.^[5]
