note
The Lynn birth names Robert Jr. and Tabitha; that the Boston joiner is that child is the Rand genealogy's (no. 22, "son of Robert (7)"). In 1733 the Narragansett grantees list has, for a Lynn soldier of 1675 named Rand, the claimant "Robert Rand, son." Robert Jr.'s probate (Essex, 1717/18) would settle it.

note
By Rev. Benjamin Wadsworth (Boston Marriages 1700-1751, p. 25). On the same page, by Rev. Thomas Bridge, 12 May 1709, "Robert Rand & Eliza. Welch": the sailmaker.

Father of Susanna (Rand) Ellingwood. Born at Lynn, the eldest surviving son of Robert Rand Jr. and Tabitha Ivory, he went to Boston and became a joiner. He married Susanna, daughter of Richard Cheever the cordwainer, in January 1709/10, and they had eight children: Mary (1710, m. Robert Mansfield), Richard (1712, died young), Richard (1713-1736, Harvard 1734, whose stone is also in the Granary), Susanna (12 Feb 1715/16), Robert (1719), Bartholomew (1723), Zechariah (1725-1757, a sugar-boiler) and Abigail (1728) (source). His wife died in 1748 and he on 11 Feb 1752, and was buried in the Granary.

His estate provided for his Ellingwood grandchildren: in 1753 a guardianship for one of Israel Ellingwood's children was granted "in right of his Grandfather Robert Rand late of Boston Joyner" (record).

Two Robert Rands married in Boston in 1709, and the trees have merged them. The other, a sailmaker born at Charlestown on 18 June 1684, son of Thomas Rand and Sarah Longley, married Elizabeth Welch; his birth and his wife's name have been carried onto this Robert and his grandmother.

Open questions

  • His probate (Suffolk, 1752), to go with the 1753 guardianship.
