BIRTH: In the probate of the estate of Stephen P. Hand of Litchfield, dec/d. John Allen Adm. and David Wesseth became bound to the court for a penal sum of $2,000 when the estate was declared insolvent. Inventory to be completed in 8 months. (p. 56) On p. 59 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. (Litchfield District Probates, Vol 9, pp. 56, 59, 147, FHL film 4734, dated March 2, 1810, March 22, 1810 and Sept 20, 1810.) If she was 16 in 1810, her birth would have been 1794. In "A Genealogical Register of the Inhabitants of the Town of Litchfield, Conn," by George C. Woodruff, 1845, (FHL book 974.61/L1 D2w.), P. 103. Levina is listed with her family, but is not given a birth date.
