Notes

I moved this unsourced statement from the bio, but it can be put back if sources are identified and added to support it:

They had their first-born son, Isaac Snow, at the end of 1777 in Eastham, Barnstable (Cape Cod), Massachusetts.

While it is not unreasonable that they might have had a child in 1777, the General Society of Mayflower Descendants does not currently (2023) document Isaac as a child of Ephraim and Martha (Rogers) Snow.^[6]
