- [The census record history creates an ambiguity as to her name. In the 1880 census, Mary Hand (age 44, b. 1838) was enumerated as the head of the household, with children Henry G. (17), Frank H. (14), Jetur W. (12), and Nellie S. (6). In the 1880 census, the older children are clearly that of the 1870 census that had George Hand as the head, and Harriet as the inferred mother. George died in 1878. (Nellie was therefore born after the 1870 census.) Harriet of the 1870 census was born 1835. In the 1900 census, Harriet was living with her son Henry, and in 1910 she was living with her daughter Nellie. I therefore am concluding that Mary and Harriet are the same person, with Mary being an alternate name. Mary was her mother's name. I have recorded it here as her middle name.]
