Lois Ward, born September 21, 1723, was a great-granddaughter (on her paternal grandfather's side) of John Ward and a great-granddaughter (on her paternal grandmother's side) of Samuel Kitchell. John Ward (1620-1694) and Samuel Kitchell (1635-1690) were among the original white settlers who had come from the New Haven colony with Robert Treat to settle in Newark in 1666.
Lois was married in 1748 to William Hand. The couple had 11 children. For a time, the family lived at the Hand House (still standing) in present-day Maplewood. Both died in Livingston in the early 1800s.
