Nicholas Snow, not long after his arrival, became acquainted with Miss "Constata" or Constance, an elder daughter of Mr. Stephen Hopkins, who had but a few years before braved the dangers of the Atlantic in the Mayflower and escaped the first winter's distress, and took her for his wife, who, before 1650, had borne him twelve children, all then alive. The date of his marriage does not appear; but he was married before 1627, as by the record of the division of the cattle, May 22nd, he and his wife Constance received their share, they belonging to Mr. Stephen Hopkins' company, which was composed of thirteen persons. In 1633 he was a freeman and a tax payer in Plymouth....

Notes:

Came with his fathr to America in the 'Mayflower' in 1620, when a lad of 12 to 13 yrs old; and his father dying early in 1621, left the boy upon his own resources. He settled at Duxbury and later went to Sandwich where he resided for a time; and in 1655, he removed to Eastham, Mass., permanently locating thre - where he died.

Name:
Lieut. Joseph Rogers went to Eastham soon after the settlement opened, paid his proportion of the purchase money, and at once took a leading part in the affairs of the new township. He came over in the Mayflower, with his father,Thomas Rogers, and appears to have been the only member of his father's family that ventured in that famous vessel. At the time, it appears, he was a lad. He doubtless was the eldest of his father's children, and, perhaps, came to have care of his father, who, it is inferred from what Bradford has stated, was a widower. His father did not survive the first winter; he took the distemper which carried off so many of that noble band, died, and was buried, as is supposed, with the other victims on Cole's Hill. Some years afterwards the remaining portion of his family found their way to this country, where they married and settled. With whom Lieut. Joseph lived during that terrible winter and spring, after burying his father, does not appear. It certainly must have been a dreary winter to him as well as to the other survivors. the bill of mortality as given by Prince, the chronologist, as gathered from Bradford's papers, shows that the little band of worthies was incapable of doing much more than to attend to the sick and to bury the dead, for the first four months. the number of deaths occurring in December was six; January, eight; February, seventeen and in March thirteen. Elder Brewster and Captain Standish were among the very few that escaped the sickness. They have been highly spoken of by the Pilgrim historian for their great services during the sickness.....

In 1647, at the June session of the Old Colony court, he was proposed as a suitable person for a lieutenant at Nausett to "exercise the men" in arms, and was appointed. He held this position till 166, when his lieutenancy was revoked, and he was released from further duty as militia officer. He was however, reappointed lieutenant of the Eastham Company in 1664, succeeding Lieut. Wm Merrick or Myrick. In February, 1652, with other persons from various parts of the colony, he was appointed to la out the way fro Sandwich to near Eel River in Plymouth. In 1658, he was one of the Council of War, and that year had liberty to purchase tracts of meadow at Pottonumecot, near the mouth of the river.

Joseph married Hannah ? about 1632. Hannah died between 02 Jan 1677 and 1678. [Group Sheet] [Family Chart]
