Notes for: Nicholas Snow

A plaque in the Eastham, Massachusetts, Town Hall reads as follows:

"To the memory of Nicholas Snow, who arrived at Plymouth on the Anne in 1623 and was an original purchaser and one of the first founders of Nauset in 1644, an incorporator of the town renamed Eastham in 1651, the first clerk of the town holding that office seventeen years from 1646 to 1662. Deputy to the General Court from 1648 to 1652. Selectman from 1663 to 1670. Also surveyor of highways.
He was born in England and died at Eastham November 16, 1676. About 1625 he married at Plymouth Constance Hopkins, daughter of Stephen Hopkins, both of whom came on the Mayflower in 1620. From this union came 12 children. His home was at Skaket, now Orleans.
To commemorate his sturdy manhood with the assurance of his faithful service to the company of pioneers with which he was associated, this memorial is erected by his descendant in five lines, Elbridge Gerry Snow, 1916."
