Note

BIRTH: "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. Stephen is listed with his family, but is not given a birth date. He is placed after Rachel and before Guy. 1810 CENSUS: The only Stephen Hand in any Census is in German Flats, Herkimer, New York. He is 26-44 as is his wife. Two other males under 10 and one female under 10 are in the household. Since the present Stephen stayed in Litchfield, I believe he lived with his parents, died at about age 30 unmarried, and was never on a census. DEATH: His probate was brought to court March 2, 1810: Administration 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.)
