Note

DEATH: She apparently died by 1811 when her Widow's dower was distributed to her children. Hiram Jarvis Hand of Litchfield for $51 bought from John Allen of Litchfield part of the estate of Timothy his father and part of the dower of the widow Rhoda Hand. It was land set out to the heirs of Timothy and Rhoda Hand. 25 October 1811 (Litchfield Deeds, Vol. 26, p. 410, FHL 4753.) Ancestral file has her death date 30 April 1831, but that is obviously incorrect. 1810 CENSUS: No entry for Timothy Hand. Rhoda Hand lives next door to her son Guy in Litchfield. She is in the age bracket 45 and older. There are 2 other females (one 16-25 and one 16-44, obviously Sarah and Tryphena) and one male (16-25) in the household. (Hiram would have been 27 but was married in 1813 so it is probably him.) HER SON STEPHEN'S PROBATE Probate of Stephen P. Hand: Fortune Lavina Hand, a minor of 16 and daughter of Timothy Hand of said Litchfield, dec'd, is appointed a new guardian. Probably Stephen P. Hand was her former guardian. Gideon Allen is appointed guardian and Peter Sherman of Litchfield is his surety, bound to the court for the penal sum of $1,000. On p. 147 is a list of creditors on the estate of Stephen P. Hand. It is a long, long list. Guy Hand and Elizabeth and Tryphena Linsley are named and Rhoda Hand "for the legacy due Fortune L. Hand" which is written $216.47. Guy and Tryphena are his brother and sister, and Rhoda is his mother. His sister Rhoda was married in 1796 and would be called Rhoda Foote. (Litchfield District Probates, Vol 9, pp. 56, 59, 147, FHL film 4734, dated March 2, 1810, March 22, 1810 and Sept 20, 1810.) TIMOTHY'S PROBATE: Hiram Jarvis Hand of Litchfield for $51 bought from John Allen of Litchfield part of the estate of Timothy his father and part of the dower of the widow Rhoda Hand. It was land set out to the heirs of Timothy and Rhoda Hand. 25 October 1811 (Litchfield Deeds, Vol. 26, p. 410 (FHL 4753.)

Rhoda Bradley, Nov. 24, 1768, by Rev. Joseph Bellamy, of Bethlem." If Daniel Bradley and Abigail Hand are the parents of Rhoda, Timothy Hand was her first cousin.
