     "Some genealogists question Joseph Snow's marriage record; possibly because, so far as official records show, he did not marry Mary Higgins until he was 35, very old for that era. Thus, he is credited with having married a ____? Rogers before 1670. Other accounts have him married to an "Elizabeth Smith" in ?? and/or a "Hannah Storrs" or a "Mary Storrs." Certain sources also contest his wife Mary Higgins' being the daughter of Richard Higgins & Mary Yates, both early Massachusetts settlers. It has also been said that Joseph's wife Mary Higgins (or Mary UNK), whom he married in 1670, died between 1694 and 1698 and that Joseph then married Mary Storrs and that she is the "widow Mary" named in his 1717 Will and 1723 Inventory. In the current state of research, these alternatives should be mentioned here but unless and until credible sources are found, they remain unproven. The "majority" story is that Joseph Snow married Mary Higgins in 1670 and they had 11 children and that she died after his January 1723 passing, being named an Executor of his will with their son Josiah Snow."³
