From Bill Hand 02/05/00:
I understand that John Hand was Saxon (?) and had some prob
lems with the English Crown. That may be the reason he left
. He did come over on the warship "HMS Falcon" to Lynn, Ess
ex, Massachusetts sometime about 1634, then on to New York.

John and Joan were married in a religious ceremony in 1594 in Tonbridge, Kent, England. They had four sons and a daughter, named Mark, John, Mulford, Richard and Mehitabel.
