{{Unreferenced section|date=February 2022}}
Snow was born in [[St. Johnsbury, Vermont]] to
Levi and Lucina (Streeter) Snow. He was taught about [[Mormonism]] by missionaries [[Orson Pratt]] and [[Lyman E. Johnson]] and [[Baptism|baptized]] into the [[Church of Christ (Latter Day Saints)|Church of Christ]] in 1832. On August 23, 1832, Snow and [[Amasa M. Lyman]] were ordained to the [[Priesthood (Latter Day Saints)|priesthood]] office of [[Elder (Latter Day Saints)|elder]] by [[Joseph Smith]] and [[Frederick G. Williams]], and the two of them immediately departed on a proselytizing mission.

In 1833, Snow returned to Vermont and married Susan Slater Lang. He remained in Vermont until 1834, when he went to [[Ohio]] to become a member of Smith's [[Zion's Camp]] expedition to [[Missouri]].

His first wife, Susan Slater Lang, died in Ohio after delivering their only child, a daughter, Susan Lizette Snow (born March 14, 1841), who later married Orson Pratt Jr. After the death of his wife, Susan, Snow married Mary Augusta Hawkins on August 25, 1841. This wife bore to him the following children:  Cora Georganna Snow (1843–1915), Adelaide Louisa Snow (1852–1919), Zerubbabel "Zera" Levi Snow (1854–1922), George Wellington Snow (1856–1938), Herbert Walderman Snow (1863–1938) and Marion Mason Snow (1856–1939). In 1856, Snow married Mary Lavina Sawyer (née Stone), a widow who had a son (Walton O. Sawyer) by her previous marriage. This union did not produce Snow with any children.

In 1835, Snow was ordained to the priesthood office of [[Seventy (Latter Day Saints)|seventy]] and became a member of the [[First Quorum of the Seventy]]. Snow and his family migrated with the Latter Day Saints from [[Ohio]], to [[Iowa]], and finally to [[Utah Territory]].

In 1852 Snow was a [[Missionary (LDS Church)|missionary]] for [[the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints]] in [[Virginia]] and Ohio. After serving as an associate justice of the Utah Territorial Supreme Court from 1850 to 1854, Snow also served an LDS mission to Australia from June 1856 to December 1858. On February 19, 1869, Snow was elected as the Attorney General of the [[Territory of Utah]]. He died in [[Salt Lake City, Utah|Salt Lake City]], Utah Territory.
