General:
Baptised July 5, 1753, twin to Richard.

A family burying ground lying on the westerly side of said road adjoining land of William Howe. The burial ground is not mentioned in later deeds, and a story said a barn was built over it. Apparently George had built a house next to his father on two acres his father sold him in 1859 on the northerly corner of his barn.

William Rand was born in Rye, NH where he was baptized July 5, 1753, son of William and Elizabeth (Hodgkins) Rand. He married at Rye in 1773, Sarah Rand, daughter of Samuel and Sarah (Dowst) Rand. He and Samuel Rand bought land in Epsom in 1774, and was in Epsom to sign the Association Test. His homestead was in the area of Lazy River on Goboro Road. His children are listed in the old town books as: William 1774, Olive 1776, Molly 1779, Sarah 1781, Barkey 1783, Tobias T. 1785, Thomas 1787 and Betsy Wood, 1790. In a story written by his grandson Samuel G., that late in life "he went to a neighbor one day, the path through the woods was by spot trees, It snowed, and on his return he could not see the spot trees. He lost his way and wandered about int he woods all night, froze both legs and had them taken off just below the knees. he was a large powerful man."
