===First Generation===
Almost nothing is known about [https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Unknown-601919 Mary], the second wife of [[Brown(e) (Y-DNA) |Peter Brown(e)]]. She married Peter by 1631<ref>[https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Hard-111 WikiTree profile for Mary] gives her the surname of Hard and states they were married at Plymouth 27 Oct 1630. No source was stated, and this information is not found in reputable references.</ref> and survived her husband by at least one year.<ref>Plymouth Colony Records 1:28 (dated 27 Mar 1634), but was probably dead by Oct 1647 when one of her daughters sold her father's land without referring to the widow's dower rights. (TGMB I:261). Roser's ''Mayflower Passenger References'' (p. 156) states an article in the ''Mayflower Quarterly'' 53:13 questioned whether she married second, James Lendall of Duxbury, but concluded this was unlikely.</ref> Peter and Mary had two children; a child who died young and Rebecca.

===Second Generation===
[https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Browne-65 '''Rebecca Browne'''] was born in Plymouth about 1631.<ref>Her father died in 1633 so she could not have been born after 1634.</ref> She married about 1654 to [[William Snow (Y-DNA) |William Snow]].<ref>Plymouth Colony Land Records 5:197</ref> William and Rebecca had eight children: Mary (c1658) William (1662), Hannah (1664), Joseph (c1664), James (c1665, never married), Lydia (c1667), Benjamin (1668) and Rebecca (1671). All eight were named in their father's 1698 will but ufortunately, William only gave the first names to his daughters (even those known to have been married). Thus we are not certain of whether all his daughters married and who their spouses were.

===Third Generation===
[https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Snow-259 '''Mary Snow'''] was born presumably in Bridgewater about 1658. There are conflicting reports about whether she was the wife of [[Rickard (Y-DNA) |John Rickard]] (brother to Samuel & Giles Rickard who married her sisters) or whether Mary never married. mtDNA testing of a living "umbilical" descendant of John & Mary Rickard supports this claim. John Rickard and his wife Mary had eight children; three sons and seven daughters  (Mary, Lydia, Mercy/Marcy, Patience [1689 unk if marr], Joanna, Abigail [1694, unknown if married], & Rebecca).

[https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Snow-193 Hannah Snow] was born about 1664 (possibly in Bridgewater) and died at Yarmouth 29 Mar 1723. She married twice, first to [[Rickard (Y-DNA) |Giles Rickard]] 7 Nov 1683 at Plymouth, and second to Joseph Howes on 9 Mar 1713/4. Her first husband's will failed to list any children (and bequests were made to his siblings children) so it is assumed they had no surviving children. Hannah would have been too old to have had any children by her second marriage.

[https://www.wikitree.com/wiki/Snow-192 '''Rebecca Snow'''] was born in Plymouth 23 Jul 1671 and died 4 Apr 1740 in Plympton. She married Plymouth 31 Dec 1689 to [[Rickard (Y-DNA) |Samuel Rickard]]. They had six children, three sons and three daughters (Hannah, Bethia & Mehitable).
