- Not that it would be authoritative, merely illustrative of the uncertainity, Source:Portrait and Biographical Album of Branch County, Mich, p. 637, says, "Though there has been considerable search, no record has been found of the marriage of Caleb. The traditions of the descendants of Ruth are to the effect that her name was Hannah Wilcox, while the descendants of Snow have it that her name was Snow. The former say she was a young English girl, ill-treated by a stepmother, and married young to get away from her home. It is possible that he was twice married." If Caleb had one wife, and the age at death is correct, the first child was born when she was 16. If the gap between Sarah and Josiah/Snow indicates a remarriage, then it would be typical that his second wife would be younger. With two wives, there is even the possibility that both answers are right! There is no sign of such a remarriage in the Hanover records, however.
