Message: The Mehetable P. Handy on the stone monument I believe is Mehetable Pope Handy that married Jabez/Jabes Handy. Jabez & Mehetable had a daughter named Mehetable, but according to Family Search she did not die in New York, and was NOT young. Mehetable that was the daughter of Jabez Handy & Mehetable (Pope) Fish Handy was born on 12/31/1766 in Sandwich Mass. and died in Leeds Maine on 2/27/1842. Two things: 1. There are two memorials for a 5 year old Mehetable in the same Cemetery as Jabez & Mehetable; 2. The daughter lived to be 76 not 5.
Mehetable P. Handy and her husband Jebez' names are BOTH on the stone.

I found a copy of a transcription of the burials at the Albert Pierce Farm. It has a Mahitabel Pope Handy (1802 - 1808), memorial# 128868592, and her grandparents. I linked her to her father, Elisha Handy, # 124187396, and made a linked comment to this memorial. Also requested that Elisha be linked to his parents.
I think they are the same person. Where is she actually buried? Was she moved from the Albert Pierce Farm to be by her father?
You may want to link your memorial to Elisha Handy, # 124187396.
