Bob Sweezey quotes the following found at the Ancestry.com Message Board, written by B. Randall. I have not been able to locate this source:
"Nehemiah Hand, a farmer, drowned at Smith's Point Inlet at the age of 41 years, 1 month and 10 days on November 5, 1813. He was married to Mary Hubbard and left her and eight children - the youngest, Nehemaih Hand, born after his death. Mary Hubbard Hand was born 2/1/1784 at Fireplace, Long Island, NY and died at the home of her son, Nehemiah "Boss" Hand in Setauket on 5/15/1871. She remarried Thomas Wood Rowland 12/25/1814, and her third husband was David DeForrest. She and Thomas Wood Rowland had five children. Who were Mary's parents? Who were her children with Nehemaih - I have Hiram, William, Hulda, Silas, Nehemiah but do not have the names of the other three children. Her son Nehemiah was a shipbuider in Setauket. He and his first wife, Mary Bennett, had three children - Robert, George and ?. He married #2 Phoebe Etta Tyler of Smithtown and #3 Mary Call. I am seeking information on Mary, her parents and her children."
