Not directly related to him, but I am a descendant of Nicholas Snow, 1621, Plymouth and so was he. We share a common ancestor. I grew up in Winthrop MA, where ER Snow grew up. I know the street he lived on as a boy and my cousin had him as a history teacher, before he left teaching to go into radio. My sister was in the same classes as his nephew. I personally know many of the places he names in his books. By tracing the family line to Nicholas Snow, we are Mayflower descendants. In the 1760's, King George opened the Acadian lands to the colonists for settlement. Many left for NB and NS for free land. Nickerson, Snow, Smith, Phinney, Tower, Cole and many more moved north. Another group of Snow families in NFLD seem not to be connected to the colonists. Possibly they came directly to NFLD from England. There may be a connection, but further back in England. Glad to have found this site on the Snows.

My surname is obviously Rowe. Born to A USAF Bostonian father and grandparents, my adolescence was spent in NH with visits to Roslindale(Boston suburb)all the time. I grew up with ERS and listened to many the tale of piracy, and sea stories. We used to seem him several times a month and enjoyed many the clambakes, lobsterbakes on the beaches. I have always wondered the relation to him(if any). I do know our Rowe family has surnames of Bates, Morgan, and not sure about Snow. I do know that we have Wesley(s), Edward(s), and John(s) as first names. It's been a family rumor that my 6-8 times grandmother(Rebekah Rowe Morgan)was either a mistress or wife of the buccaneer pirate Henry Morgan. I also know that we have ties to Newfoundland, Scotland, England, and possibly Spain. Interested in finding out more of my genealogy, yet just never ventured into it. Times creepin' up on me, so I figure I best get started. Which brings me here. Interesred in any replies.

Can anyone tell me of the Rowe-Snow connection?
