Two additional children are mentioned in at least one other family genealogy but with no birth/christening dates:^[6]

1. Ruth Snow (not in Joseph's will so probably died as a child)
2. Silvanus Snow (who is mentioned in Joseph's 1761 will as a "minor," so he was born after 1752).

Mary (Sears) Snow died between 1753 and October 1759 (exact date not found). Her husband, Joseph Snow, survived her passing. He passed away in Harwich (Brewster), Barnstable Co., Massachusetts Bay province, New England, on April 30, 1761 after having remarried in 1759. ^[7]
