Probably the wrong Lydia Snow [10 June 2009]

A death date of 16 Jun 1712 in Harwich that used to be on this page, appears to not be possible, since the deed cited provides evidence that Lydia lived at least until 1714. It was not indicated where this date came from. If from a death record, there many Lydia Snows and it is probably a misidentification, but that is indeterminable because no reference to the basis was given. The only reference to that date for Lydia Snow that I find is a deed by her brother George Shaw to Thomas Mayo, Jr., that she witnessed with her husband Nicholas on 16 Jun 1712 (See Source:Mayflower Descendant, p. 14:78.) Both that deed and the 1714 deed cited indicate that Lydia lived in Eastham, not Harwich. --Jrich 13:50, 9 June 2009 (EDT)
