• Notes

  From the Wikitree page for this Sarah Snow: A Sarah Snow was born at Eastham, Massachusetts, about 1741, to Aaron Snow and Sarah (Gross) Snow. There is a reasonable circumstantial case that she is the Sarah Snow who married Eleazer Walker in 1760. A search of the Eastham birth records in the Mayflower Descendant turns up no other Sarah Snow likely to have been of the right age to marry Eleazer Walker and who is not otherwise accounted for. Eleazer and Sarah Walker named their first two sons Aaron (the first died at the age of 3), and there are no known Aarons in the Walker line. One other Sarah Snow was born in New England in the period to a father named Aaron, but her marriage to another man is documented. The Snows moved to Connecticut five years (or more) before the marriage of Eleazer and Sarah, but it is likely that they retained ties to Cape Cod, especially after Aaron’s death about 1758, and Sarah may well have returned to Eastham when it came time for her to marry. If this identification of Sarah Snow is correct, then Eleazer and Sarah (Snow) Walker were third cousins, both great-great-grandchildren of the immigrant Nicholas Snow and the Mayflower passenger Constance (Hopkins) Snow.
