"Abigail Snow Probable Wife of Daniel Small of Truro and Provincetown, Massachusetts"
By Steven Edward Sullivan, M.A.
Page 137

"In this article I will articulate the theories, arguments, and lines of evidence that collectively suggest the probability that Abigail Snow (born at Eastham, Massachusetts, on 14 October 1673, daughter of John and Mary (Smalley) Snow) [1] married Daniel Small, son of Francis Small (Edward) and his wife Elizabeth (__) of Sturgeon Creek, and Kittery, Maine, and of Truro, Cape Cod. .. If this hypothesis is correct, the many thousand descendants of Daniel Small could claim descent from Mayflower passenger Stephen Hopkins, whose daughter Constance (Hopkins) Snow was paternal grandmother of Abigail Snow.

"While the names of Daniel Small's children are revealed by deeds and baptismal records, the name of his wife (or wives) is entirely unknown. Lora A. W. Underhill concluded her sketch of Daniel Small by noting that 'the name of his wife does not appear in any existing records,' and in her discussion of Daniel's son Isaac she further observed that 'there is absolutely no trace of Daniel's wife, or wives.'  My own investigation confirms that apparently no record now exists that identifies the name of Daniel Small's wife. Convention records and sources are lacking or woefully inadequate at best, and traditional methods and techniques of genealogical research fail to whisper even a clue as to her identity. A variety of less conventional records and sources and less traditional methods and techniques had to be utilized in order to construct this interesting, plausible, and provocative hypothesis.

Thomas Browne 1666-1747 Mary Ayer 1664-1748

-M-
8th Great Grandparents

Thomas
was a Quaker

Thomas Browne
Parents: George Browne and Mercy Wright

Born 27 May 1666 Barking, Essex, England

Occupation:  Shoemaker

Immigrant from England to the colonies in the winter of 1700-1701
Married Mary Ayer 17 Jul 1694 Plaistow, Essex, England

The following is from the "we relate.org" link in the source section

From the Large Cabinet Drawer A.

Photostat of certificate, partly written and partly in the form used by Quakers in England. The certificate is of "Thomas of Barking in the County of Essex, shoemaker, Son of George Browne, late of the same place, Mealman, Deceased." dated this seventeenth day of the fifth month called July, in the year, according to the English account, one thousand six hundred ninety and four." There are at least 37 subscribing witnesses, some of the names being illegible. As the photostat is badly smudged, no attempt was made to copy the certificate here, but the following interesting letter covers the facts relating hereto:

The Cottage
Smithville, Burlington co., NJ
9mo 21st 1936
Mr. George MacReynolds, Librarian
Doylestown, PA

Dear Sir,

On Saturday last, I left with a woman in charge of the Historical Society's rooms a photostat of the marriage certificate of Thomas Brown & Mary Eyre (Ayre, Ayer), made in Plaistow, Essex, in 1694. The original parchment was, in 1890, in possession of the late John Shaw Brown, of Swarthmore, PA, one-time owner of the Bucks County Intelligencer.

I had lost trace of this document for many years, but found at the Historical Soc. of PA a negative made by my friend, the late Gilbert Cope, and had a few copies made, one of which I promised to Mr. Russell Hayes, of the Friends Historical Library at Swarthmore. 

The copy I left for your collection was intended for Warren S. Ely, but his decease precluded my giving it to him. The reason I passed it on to you is that possibly some descendants of Thomas Browne, through female lines, may be interested, Bucks County being the home of Thomas in his late years, and for two or three generations his descendants intermarried with other Quaker families in that section - Dyers, Shaws, Michener, Paxson, Ellicott and others.

Thomas Browne and his family came to Philadelphia in the winter of 1700-1701, lived on Second Street near the site of the present Christ Church, exchanging that property in 1708 for 245 acres in Plumstead and in 1722 an additional 500 acres in Buckingham, dying in 1747-8 at his home at Brownsville, now Gardenville. Friends Meeting was held in his house 1727, 8, and 9, and in 1730 he and two of his sons transferred for a nominal sum, 15 acres for the use of Plumstead Meeting, then organized.

The descendants are mainly through female lines, but I may note Thomas Brown, Minister among Friends, Philadelphia, 1787, London 1788; also, Major General Harvey Brown, graduate of West Point, etc. The Ellicott genealogy gives many descendants due to numerous marriages to Brown's daughters who were born Brown. Among these, I may mention is M. Cary Thomas, of Bryn Mawr College.
Being interested in genealogy, I wrote a number of notices of Bucks County families for the second edition of General Davis' History. If you know of any descendants of Thomas Browne interested in the family history, I shall be glad to hear of them.

Sincerely yours, F. Wiston Browne

Died 17 Jul 1694 Plaistow, Essex, England
