Research Notes
A few Ancestry trees have her as daughter of Benjamin Hand and Elizabeth Whittier, but without sources. FindAGrave has these parents also. Sources would be great.
The DOBs for children are from Ancestry, no idea whether there are sources for the births.

Profile now reports she was the "daughter of Benjamin Hand and Elizabeth Whittier," but from the Research Notes section, these associations seem unsourced or lack reliable sources needed to support Pre-1700 profiles.
The comment in Research Notes reads, "A few Ancestry trees have her as daughter of Benjamin Hand and Elizabeth Whittier, but without sources. FindAGrave has these parents also. Sources would be great."
Is there any proof that Benjamin's daughter was the woman who married at Burlington, New Jersey, to Ezekiel Eldredge and at Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, to Jacob Spicer
