This whole family was record in the Jonathan Hand Family Bible.

The family Bible transcription indicates Jonathan died 11 Apr 1819. The year on his headstone is rubbed off, but does seem to indicate 11 April. However administration of his estate was granted to Sarah and Jonathan on 16 Apr 1814. So the bible transcription must have misread this.

Sarah Hand is mentioned as a daughter in the will of her father William Reeve as "my daughter Sarah Hand" and also in her step-mother's will as "Sarah Hand widow of Jonathan Hand."

Research Notes

Sarah is probably the daughter Sarah Hand referred to in the will of William Reeve of Essex County, New Jersey.
