Source*Source(s): History of the Family of Benjamin Snow, O.N. Wilcox, 1907, pg 13 and History of Plymouth, New Hampshire, Volume II, Genealogies, 1906. 
Birth*4 April 1759 Nehemiah Snow (RevWar Patriot) was born 4 April 1759 at Nottingham West (now Hudson), Hillsborough Co., New Hampshire, In "Naissances, 1815-1879...", there is an entry for Nehemiah Snow 16-04-1759 / 06-07-1834 Anglican, Canton Hatley witnesses R. Vincent & J. Weston. There is also a note de Compton - fermier with no translation (French to English translation shows it to be farmer). Even though this book is for births, deaths are included, and one is inclined to think that the births are *from* the death records, not necessarily *recorded* in St Francis. Hence the assumption that he was born in NH and died in Canada. Further examination in the NH records proved the assumption of his birth being in Hudson NH Records of Marriages, Births, and Deaths, 1720-1898 (SLC 2167545) pg 107.1 
He was the son of Henry Snow and Miriam Rust.

(aka Memphremagog), Quebec, Canada; "Nehemiah Snow, Farmer of Compton was born April the sixteenth one thousand eight (sic, s/b seven) hundred & fifty nine & baptized February the twenty third one thousand eight hundred & forty in presence of the subscribing witnesses by me.
C Jackson Minister of Charleston Hatley"
(hard to read witnesses).4 
Death*5 April 1840He died on 5 April 1840 at "of" Compton, Compton Co., Quebec, Canada, at age 81 "Buried April the eight one thousand eight hundred & forty Nehemiah Snow, Farmer of Compton in the presense of the subscribing witnesses by me (He died on the 5th inst aged eighty one years)
C Jackson Minister of Charleston Hatley"
(hard to read witnesses)
     Conflict explanation: Church of England Record showing 5 Apr 1840 is a primary source, Naissances gives date of 6 Jul 1834 but is only a secondary source, thus in error or someone else.1,2,4 
Burial*8 April 1840He was buried on 8 April 1840 at St James Cemetery, East Hatley, Stanstead Co. (aka Memphremagog), Quebec, Canada, "Mr Nehemiah Snow died April 5, 1840."4,5
