A family member supposedly did some research on our Hancock line and stated that the following people were born in Tallapoosa Parish, Alabama. John Jackson Hancock on December 15, 1850; Sarah Josaphine Hancock on October 29, 1852; Floyd Wesley Hancock in 1854; and Amanda Martille Hancock on March 25, 1855. Supposedly these births took place in or near an area called Skiletlick. The fathers name would have been Thomas Hancock and the mother Bethany Weldon Hancock. Is there such a place? How were births recorded then in Tallapoosa Parish? Was this family listed in an 1850 census in Tallapoosa Parish? I would appreciate any help I might receive with the gathering of information on this family. Thank you so much. Sharon Dixon
