BAPTISM: Unpublished typed manuscript by the Rev. LaRoy Sunderland Hand: His memoirs, his progeny and his ancestry, compiled by Edmond Hand Norris, FHL book 929.273 H191n, p. 3, "The Early Hand Family." She was heiress to lands in Tonbridge, Stansted, Wrotham and Asshe in County Kent, England, as shown in the 1623 will of Henry Gransden, father of Alice and Frances as well as the 1615 will of their grandfather, Nicholas Harris. (Research commissioned by Genevieve Tylee Kiepura in 1950, and published in the 1955 and 1955 articles in The American Genealogist, reprinted in Unpublished typed manuscript by the Rev. LaRoy Sunderland Hand: His memoirs, his progeny and his ancestry, compiled by Edmond Hand Norris, FHL book 929.273 H191n, p. 3 "The Early Hand Family.") On 20 Sept. 1636 Alice Hand was granted administration as next of kin on he estate of her couin, James Gransden. "A Hand Family," Harriet W. Hodge, p. 3-8 "The Early Hand Family," HER NAME: Alice Gransden, mother of Elizabeth Gransden Hand was buried in Westminster Abbey. She was no one special. Back then anyone whose family could pay the price of a grave could be buried there. She is a part of our heritage as she is the mother as Elizabeth Gransden hand. As for the debate over Alice or Elizabeth Gransden marrying John Hand....back then, many girls had the first name of their mother and a middle name that speperated them from the mother. It was as if it was "daughter of Alice, Elizabeth.." In a document by John Hand, the son of John Hand and Elizabeth Gransden, the son refers to his mother as "Alice". Evidently that was her choice. There are records in East Hampton and Cape May that refer to her as Alice.

In Dorothy Hand Dymond's book, "The Genealogy of the Hand Family and Related Families", she references an article in The American Genealogist by Genevieve Tylee Kiepura, "English Ancestry of Alice (Gransden) Hand and Frances (Gransden) Stanborough," Whole No. 121, Vol. 31, No. 1, Jan. 1955, pp 1-15. Not only do I have the letter from the English researcher, Sydney Smith, dated October 27, 1999. I also have the parish records of John Hand's birth, his marriage to Elizabet and the baptism of their son John, who was born in January 1935, the same year that the family sailed for America. Neither of us is wrong....It is just a matter of understanding that Alice Elizabeth Gransden could legally just use the name Elizabeth on her marriage record. She could also prefer to be called Alice. Alice Elizabeth Gransden married again after the death of John Hand. her second husband wasEd ward Codner. They were married in Lyme, CT.
