4)  NOTES (with source citations as indicated in brackets):    

Elizabeth Paine was born 2 June 1702 in Eastham, Massachusetts, the third daughter and seventh child of John and Bennett (Freeman) Paine[1-3].

She married Jabez Snow (1696-1760) on 27 October 1720 in Eastham[3-5].  They had six children between 1722 and 1740, all recorded in the Eastham town records.

Elizabeth's father, John Paine, wrote his will on 14 July 1731, and it was proved on 19 January 1731/2[6].  He bequeathed an equal portion in quality and quantity of the remaining personal estate to his seven daughters, including Elisabeth Snow.

Her husband, Jabez Snow, wrote a will in 1760 that provided Elizabeth with her widow's dower thirds in real and personal property, and the widow's dower was set off in 1761[7].  However, the estate was insolvent, and the other two-thirds of the real and personal property of Jabez was sold at auction in 1762.  The

Elizabeth Snow died 6 July 1772 in Eastham[3,8-9], and was buried in Cove Burying Ground in Eastham[10].

When Elizabeth died in 1772, her one-third portion of her husband's real estate was sold at auction - the settlement of the portion was approved by the Court on 9 March 1773[12].  The personal estate of Elisabeth Snow was filed for administration on 1 October 1772 in Barnstable County Probate Court, and the Court appointed Edmund Hawes to be the administrator[11].  An inventory of the personal estate was taken by Gideon Freeman, Josiah Merrick and David Doane on 7 October 1772, and totaled  £18 17s 8d.  The Account of the administrator totaled £13 8s 10d, and was approved by the Court on 9 March 1773.
