Notes

From these and other concurrent facts, it is evident that Richard Hendy, the Norwich proprietor, and Richard Handy, of Killingworth, were one and the same person.

Hannah, the wife of Richard Handy, was a daughter of John Elderkin. Only three children appear as heirs, Jonathan, Richard, and Hannah. Elderkin was their guardian, and settled the estate. Richard lived in the family of Elderkin, and became an inhabitant of Norwich. Hannah married Samuel Belding of Wethersfield, Jan. 14, 1685.
