About Rebecca Meigs

John Meigs was born 11 Nov 1670 in Guilford (New Haven) Connecticut, and died 19 Feb 1718. He is a son of John Meigs and Sarah Wilcoxson. John was a Congregational Deacon. He married 20 Jul 1694 in East Guilford, to Rebecca Hand. Rebecca was born about 1670 and died in 1719.

Rebecca’s parents are in question. Some have her father as Stephen’s brother John Hand (which would not affect her line further back on that side). Some have her mother as Sarah Stratton, who is Stephen Hand’s first wife. Any users of this data should realize that Rebecca’s parents and maternal grandparents may turn out to be incorrect. We place her for now as a daughter of Stephen Hand and Rebecca Bushnell

John and Rebecca had seven children:

  1. John Vincent Meigs (1697 CT - 1767)
  2. Stephen Meigs (1699 CT - 1759)
  3. Recompense Meigs (1701 CT - 1760)
  4. Irene Meigs was born 10 Mar 1703/04 in East Guilford (New Haven) Connecticut.
  5. Samuel Meigs [1954] (1706 CT - 1751) married Mindwell Norton.
  6. Phineas Meigs (1708 CT - 1782 CT)
  7. Sarah Meigs (1713 CT - 1796)
