Zerubabbel Snow was the second son of John Snow and Mary Green of Woburn MA. His mother, Mary Green (b. Jan. 1644), was the daughter of William Green who was born on October 16 1591, in Devon, England, and Hannah (Carter Parkhurst) Green who was born on March 20, 1596, in Ipswich, Suffolk, England. His father (b. 1640) was a son of immigrants Richard Snow and Annis (Annie) Avis (Barrat) Snow[1]. Woburn's vital records record his birth as May 14, 1672[2]. He was named for the Old Testament figure: Zerubabbel, who led the Hebrews back to Judah from captivity and laid the foundations for the second Temple in Jerusalem ca. 525 BCE.
Zerubabbel Snow married Jemima Cutler on September 22, 1697[3] at age 25 and they had nine children: 7 sons and 2 daughters. They spent their entire lives in or near Woburn MA and Zerubabbel died there, according to Woburn's vital records, on November 20, 1733.

Publication: Gates Legal Publishing, Cleveland, Ohio, 1907. Note: This work mistakenly cites a death date for ancestor Richard Snow of 1711, when he would have been 105 years old if he were the same Richard Snow who emigrated on the ship "Expedition." The correct death date is May 5, 1677, making it likely that the Richard Snow of Woburn MA and that of the "Expedition" were the same man.
