Robert Rand, immigrant ancestor, came from Ipswich, Suffolk, England, probably in 1635, and settled in Charlestown, Massachusetts, where his wife Alice, nee Sharpe, was admitted to the church in that year and where in the following year their son Nathaniel was born. In the town Book of Possessions, dated 1638, mention is made of property owned by Robert Rand, including one house on the west side of Windmill Hill, sixty-six acres and "three commons." He died in 1640, perhaps at Lynn, where he lived for a time. He received a bequest in the will of Robert Keayne, a former employer. In 1658 his widow, Alice Rand, and her son Thomas jointly had a grant of thirty-four acres of woodland and nine commons.
His children with Alice:
Robert Rand 1622 – 1693
Margery Rand 1624 – 1714
Sgt Thomas Rand 1627 – 1683
Susanna Rand 1630 – 1728
Alice Rand 1634 – 1721
Nathaniel Rand 1636 – 1696
Elizabeth Rand 1639 – 1702∼Born by about 1601 (based on estimated date of marriage). Came to Massachusetts Bay in 1635 & settled in Charleston. (On 11 July 1635, the town of Charlestown ordered that "Goodman Rand [is] granted to sit down with us, upon condition the town have no just ground of exception"). Died by 26 January 1649[/50?].
Married by about 1626 Alice _____. She died at Charlestown on 29 July 1691, "98". (This age at death is almost certainly inflated by a decade.)
Pope has muddled up the records for this immigrant and another Robert Rand who resided in Lynn. In 1898 Florence Osgood Rand claimed that Robert Rand of Lynn was son of Robert Rand of Charlestown, but the evidence behind this claim is insufficient.
