He died 25 Nov 1706 in Woburn, Middlesex, Massachusetts, USA. John married Mary Green on 1666/1667 in Woburn, Middlesex, Massachusetts, USA. John Snow (Richard) was born about 1640 at an unknown place and spent his life from early childhood until his death on 25 November 1706 in Woburn. He married there by 1667 Mary Greene and in 1671 had occasion to sign a receipt to her uncle Capt. John Carter for her share of her father's estate., He had received during his father's life, and doubtless at the time of his marriage, land to live upon and meadow and this property was confirmed to him by his father's will in January 1676. He, in common with his three brothers, was bound to provide food and fuel for their mother. . . . . . . Of the seven children of John Snow, at least four married and reared families of well behaved children. . . . . . . . John Snow died intestate in November 1706 and on April 1707 his widow and children signed an agreement as to the disposition of his property. At his death his estate owed L16 to his eldest son John and L12 to Timothy, as though they might have helped to maintain the family. By this document, the widow Mary was to use for life all the household stuff and one-third part of the other movables, housing and lands; John was to retain the home and over twenty acres already in his hands on condition that he pay L12 to Timothy and L3 to his sister, Hannah Cutler. In view of their payment of certain amounts to the other heirs, Timothy, Zerubbabel, were to divide between them, the remainder of the housing and lands, including the widow's third after her death. The description of land includes reference to the Hungry-plain field.

Zerubbabel, b. 14 May 1672 «b»Cyberancestors - http://cyberancestors.com/cummins/PS31_398.html«/b» Zerubbabel Snow was born 14 May 1672 in Woburn, Middlesex, Massachusetts, USA. He died 20 Nov 1733 in Woburn, Middlesex, Massachusetts, USA. Zerubbabel married Jemima Cutler on 22 Sept 1697 in Woburn, Middlesex, Massachusetts, USA. Zerubbabel was a famous Indian fighter in the early days. Later he would move to the area arounde Concord, New Hampshire, and live there for a while. While living in Concord, he was hunting one day and as he heading back to camp as night was starting to fall, he became the hunted. A large pack of wolves chased him, until he was able to climb a tree. Zerubbabel fired at the wolves untill all the balls of shot he had with him were gone. Then he cut the buttons off his coat and fired those at the wolves. The wolves refused to nleave and hung around the tree all night. Finally at daylight they gave up and left the tree. After the wolves left, Zerubbabel climbed down and made his escape. Because of this incident, a nearby pond just east of the Merrimack river was given the name "Snow Pond". I have no other records of Zerubbabel's family except this. In the book "Snow Estes Journal" a grandson who had become the Presideent of the University of Kansas old the same tale of him being a famous Indian fighter. Zerubbabel evidently lived for a time near Concord, New Hampshire but apparently returned to Woburn before his death.
