In 1760 John Snow’s family claimed residency back to 1678. Could be on a maternal line though.

This article claims the Snows originated in Devon, with John Snow and Sons owning property in Harbour Grace dating back to the late 1600’s

In Jersey John Snow witnessed this will in 1734:

Snow and Mauger families
William Snow married to M Mauger
There are many letters of marque still in the possession of Jersey families. They were granted to ancestors who laid the foundation of the fortunes which their descendents still enjoy. The old house, pulled down and rebuilt by the late John Laurens and now known as Lansdown House, was built by a celebrated privateer named William Snow in 1704, and in one of the outbuildings there used to be a stone marked WS MM. Snow’s brother-in-law, John Maugier, was another privateer and his letter of marque for the Jersey Sloop, 30 tons, granted in 1692, is the oldest known commission in existence. It belongs to Miss Clements of Millbrook.
Maugier lived in Les Prairies, Millbrook. A descendent of his was Capt John Clements, who in 1836 was in command of the celebrated barque Eliza, owned by Mr Nicolle, and one of the oldest vessels afloat. This vessel had been captured from the Americans in 1807 and was lost at sea on a voyage to Brazil in 1891, when she was reputed to be 135 years old. Another Snow commanded the privateer Marie in 1692.

…….When peace was again restored in 1713 the Butlers returned to Port de Grave, where the family had a prior history in the seventeenth century.
John Butler and his wife of unknown name may have both died not long after their return to Port de Grave from Little Belle Isle. Their early deaths may account for the fact that Thomas Butler, their son, was brought up in the family of Thomas Snow on a neighbouring property

I think it understates the presence of the Snow family in Newfoundland. I think there were 2 John Snows in Newfoundland or 1 John Snow remarried and had 2 families. There are too many early references appearing now that cannot be accounted for

Hi Group.
I am writing to the list with this request in aid that there might be
someone out there specifically in Jersey
that might be able to help us out.
Our 7th great grandmother was Rachel SNOW, b1690(baptised February 25)
married to Thomas Martel 1716
Rachel’s parents were Richard SNOW of England(no specific area
mentioned) and Rachel Rougier(Rouget)
At the baptism were Sr. Nicolas Rouget and Judith Lihou. (Was this
couple Rachel’s grandparents?)

my notes indicates that there is a book written about the
Messervy family and one Thomas Snow married into that family.
Would like to be able to get this book. Any books anyone could recommend
would be great.

Janice,
I could only find one in the St Andrew’s registers! If others were born, it
will be in other parishes, or out of Guernsey.
However, I did try to find out more in the Priaulx the other day:-
Marriages – St Peter Port
Mr Cesar PIGUENIT m Elizabeth SNOW 17 Sep 1787
Jean SNOW m Marie MAUGEUR 21 Nov 1792
Jean TORODE so Daniel m Elizabeth SNOW do Jean 22 Mar 1796
Alexander SNOW so William of Stonehaven, near Aberdeen, Scotland
m Mary Le LACHEUR do Elisha of St Peter Port 15 Sep 1798
Thomas SNOW so Jean m Marguerite FLAMBE do Hellier 28 Oct 1800
Henry Le LACHEUR so Henry of St Peter Port
m Elizabeth SNOW native of Jersey 10 Oct 1801
Nicholas ROTTENBURY, so John m Elizabeth SNOW do Jean 16 Oct 1809
Marriages – St Saviours
Jean SNOW, fils Jean et Elizabeth ESNOUF native of the parish of St Peter in
the isle of Jersey
m Suzanne MAROT do David and the late Suzanne DU VAL of St Peter Port on the
15 May 1762
I checked my files. I have Rachel Guilbert wife of Le Sieur Thomas
Martel, married 21st August 1751 at St Andrew’s church. Rachel was born in
May 1726, the 7th child of Jean Guilbert and Elizabeth Brehaut – Rachel was
born at La Villiaze, St Andrews. My records show that the Thomas was the
son of Thomas Martel and Rachel Snow of Le Niot. Does this ring your bell!
I do think that this last one shows the intermarriage between the islands at
the time. It’s just plodding through the registers that’s needed now by
someone!
regards
Peter
