notes

Alice was baptized at Turnbridge 28 Nov, l613 - the daughter of Henry and Alice Gransden. Henry of Gravesend, Gentleman, and Alice Hatcher of Westminster (now London), widow, were married at the Parish Church of St. Martin's- le-Grand the 12th of June, l609. That wooden church was dedicated in 1050, and would now-if extant- be in the shadow of the mighty St. Paul's Cathedral when the sun was in the West. The district is and was then called Cheapside near Westminster. St. Martin's may have been burned in the Great Fire of 1666. The ancestry of Alice Grandsen Hand has been published with interesting details. It is apparent that this generation of Henry and Alice Gransden were people of property and some wealth whether or not Alice had property in her own right after the death of Henry.

John Hand, his wife, and father came as Puritans to the Massachusetts Bay Colony in America in 1635. His father returned to England “and was murdered on the high seas on his return to America.” The Puritans went first to Lynn, MA, later in 1640 to Long Island where they settled in Southampton. In 1648/9 John was one of the founders of Easthampton, Long Island (originally named Maidstone).

Alice (Grandsen) Hand Codner died in Saybrook, CT after 7-25-1687.
