Thomas Hand

Name - Thomas Hand  
Birth - 1646 Southampton, Long Island, NY 
Death - October 02, 1714 Cape May, Cape May, NJ 
Occupation - Whaler 
Settled : 1693 In Cape May Co, NJ 


MyTrees - Robin Campbell:
"He and his family lived at Wainscott, Long Island until about 1693 when
they moved to Cape May Co, NJ. Thomas was a whalerman and it was no doubt
the whaling industry that brought him to cape May. He was probably
associated with his brother Shamgar in this work."
There is some speculation that the mother of Thomas Hand's children was
Martha or Hannah Osborn. However, the preponderance of the evidence
points to Mary Talmadge. I will keep Mary Talmadge as mother of the
children but will retain Martha or Hannah Osborn as a wife of Thomas
until I have more concrete evidence.
Hand Family Lineage Cape May (handfamily.org/xxwillis.htm):
"Thomas was married twice and there is no date ofr either marriage so the
children have to be placed by the following circumstantial evidence. The
youngest child, Recompense, was born in 1690; and the wife and mother
apparently died as suggested by the name. It is likely that Mary Talmadge
was the mother of Recompense Hand as has been credited by earlier
researchers as she was the first wife. Mary Talmadge was the daughter of
Captain Thomas Talmadge of Easthampton. Thomas was later married to
Katherine Tubbs (NOTICE THE SPELLING!)was the daughter of John Tubbs, or
Katherine Meadows who apparently came with the family to Cape May about
1693. This Hand family lived at Wainscott (Easthampton), Long Island
until about 1693 when they moved permanently to the little settlement on
the bay side of Cape May."
