Notes
Grandfather of Susanna (Rand) Ellingwood. Of Lynn, the son of Robert Rand of Woodend. On the last day of January 1683/4 he married Tabitha, daughter of Thomas Ivory; his brother Zachariah married Anna Ivery two months later (record). Their children, born at Lynn: Robert (6 Oct 1686), the Boston joiner; Zachariah (1688), who lived a week; Zachariah (1689); Hannah (1691); Thomas (1693), who died at three weeks; Mary (1695, m. Thomas Rhodes); John (1697/8, died 1699/1700); and Lois (1700).
A “Robert Rand” was credited for service under Capt. Samuel Brocklebank on 24 Mar 1675/6, in King Philip’s War: the company of the “Hungry March” and the Marlborough garrison, whose captain was killed at Sudbury a month later. Which Robert is not stated; this one, about twenty-two, is the likelier (source). When the Narragansett townships were granted to the soldiers’ heirs, the Lynn list of 1733 has a Rand soldier with “Robert Rand, son” as claimant, in the township that became Amherst, New Hampshire.
He died on 6 Dec 1717, “in his 64th y.,” as his gravestone has it.

- His probate (Essex, 1717/18), which should name his son Robert of Boston, joiner.
