Title: History of the Family of Benjamin Snow who is a Descendant of Richard Snow of Woburn, Massachusetts Abbreviation: Fam. of Benjamin Snow Author: Wilcox, Owen N. Publication: Gates Legal Publishing, Cleveland, Ohio, 1907 Note: The copy of this work at the NEHGS contains a page bound between pages 6 & 7 that reads: CONT CONT CORRECTION NOTE. CONT The reader will note that on page seven of this book appears the statement that Richard Snow of Woburn died in 1711, and that consequently he could hardly have been one and the same with Richard Snow of the ship "Expedition". My authority for the date of the death of Richard Snow of Woburn was Sewall's History of Woburn. This date was evidently an error, for Richard died, as I have since learned, on May 5,1677, leaving a will dated 30 (11) i.e. Nov 30, 1676 [kge: shouldn't this be Jan 30, 1676/7?], and which was probated June 19, 1677. By this instrument he bequeathed property to his wife Ann, and sons, John,James, Samuel and Zachary. CONT CONT This information effectually removes all the haze and uncertainty respecting Richard Snow's years that appear in this Volume, and the identity of Richard Snow of Woburn with the Richard Snow of the ship"Expedition" becomes not only possible, but quite probable. CONT CONT The compiler hopes that this explanatory note will overcome any falseimpression which he may have unwittingly created by his printed words,and he feels sure that it will add considerably to the genealogical value of the book Repository: #R5
