Mehitable was the fifth of eleven children born to Captain Ebenezer Titus and Mehitable Knapp.
She married Moses Rand in Norton on October 29, 1805. At the time she married, she was about 29, and perhaps a decade older than Moses. After they married they resided in Malden.
The "Genealogy of the Rand Family in the United States" says that Moses and Mehitable had a daughter Fanny in 1811 and Elizabeth in 1817. However the 1810 census indicated they already had a daughter. The 1817 birthdate for Elizabeth Allen Rand is likely a transcription error, as later census records indicate that she was born about 1808.
Aside from the two children mentioned in this genealogy, Massachusetts death records indicate Moses and Mehitable had a daughter Susan born in 1816 in Malden. Their son George William Rand was born in Charlestown in 1818.
It seems that Moses and Mehitable relocated to Charlestown between 1816 and 1818. Moses does not appear in the 1820 census or any subsequent census records. The last found record of him is an newspaper notice in 1820 in Charlestown. That there were no additional children is an indication that he either died or left his family.
In subsequent years it appears that Mehitable lived with her adult children. In the 1840 census, George's household included a woman in her 60s, and Mehitable would have been about 64 that year. In the 1860 census M. Rand lived with Elizabeth and her husband Samuel Fillebrown. Mehitable died in Cambridge, Massachusetts on October 29, 1860. Her burial place is unknown.
As for Moses's children: Susan married Jonathan Bass. There are no additional records on Fanny, so she might have died young.
