Will of Aaron Jenney of Dartmouth, Yeoman, dated 14 March 1760
Simeon acted as a witness
Aaron Jenney was the father of Mary Wrightington; could she be mother of wife of Simeon's future son Job?

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
John Joshua and Simeon are listed as living in BRS (Bristol?), pp. 429 & 430 in the Index to the 1870 Mass. Census. Job, however is listed as Job Omen, and living in PLY p. 88 (Plymouth?)
interesting to see Job go to Plymouth. One personal theory is that Peter Oman, his grandfather, came from Plymouth.

Will: *** SEE FAMILY WILLS SECTION FOR COPY ***

Notes for DESIRE SNOW:
1) Marriage of Desire Snow to Simeon Omen is confirmed in Vital Marriage Statistics of Dartmouth which lists them both being of Dartmouth
2) No birth records for Desire Snow in Dartmouth
3) Mayflower Families Through Five Generations, V.6, 1992, published by the General Society of Mayflower Descendants lists from the will of Joseph Snow (the settlement of said estate being administered by Joseph Snow, of Harwich, gentleman, both his [Joseph's] father-in-law and second cousin, on 07 May 1761], (Desire being 13 years of age at the time): "Isaac Foster of Harwich, blacksmith, was appointed guardian of the following minor children of Joseph Snow, late of Harwich on 01 July 1762: Silvanus, Desire, Sarah and Mercy Snow."
4) Did this Desire Snow of Harwich move to Dartmouth and therefore be one and the same Desire Snow who married Simeon Omen?
5) With the confirmation of brith date of Desire Snow of Mayflower bunch being 1748 in Harwich, as stated in Vital Records, she would have only been 9 years old at the time of her marriage to Simeon in 1757 (also confirmed in vital records of Dartmouth). It seems unlikely that they are both the same person.

Vital Records Town of Harwich, Mass. 1694-1850, Loiuse H. Kelley & Dorothy Straw, pub. Harwich Historical Society:
Intention of marriage Mr. John Goild Ju & Mrs. Desire Snow both of Harwich March 9, 1771
1771 Nov 21 John Goild Ju & Desire Snow married by Rev. Mr. Dunster

1800 census lists Isaac Fosters in Barnstable Co., Hampshire Co., Middlesex Co., & Worchester Co. (Barnstable & Bristol Counties both organized 1685 w/ Parent County being Plymouth Colony)

LYDIA OMAN, b. Abt. 1775, See notes for explanation of date, of New Bedford, Mass.; d. Aft. 1815 ⁶³; m. JOSEPH PIERCE, November 30, 1806 ⁶⁴; b. Unknown, Of New Bedford, Mass; d. Unknown.

Notes for LYDIA OMAN:
Will of her father, Simeon, states, "I give to my daughter Lydia wife of Joseph Peirce". That will was dated 1815. So the death date of 1770 could not be true for this Lydia. Also, she would have been married at 49 years of age.
Perhaps there was a first Lydia, who was born in 1757, just after her parent's marriage, and she died in 1770. Then the next baby girl born, in the mid to late 1770's, was named Lydia again.
