Hi Helene, You sure have been quiet lately! I was beginning to wonder if we'd start rumors about you like we did Arvil! :c) I do have a question/thought---I wonder if we use this URL and Google's service will that add to the amount of Spam we will receive or does Google have a "privacy policy"? So often the search engines either sell or make available our email addresses to spammers or the spammers target their sites for "hits". Anyone have any thoughts on this?

Hello, At the present, I am suspecting that the William Hancock below is the William Hancock b 1797, the s/o Joseph Hancock (b 1759) of Hanover Co., VA & Nancy Ann Dickenson. Joseph (b 1759) was bro/o Austin Hancock, Sr. of Louisa Co., VA & Ann Nuckolls and believed bro/o (Capt.) John Hancock (Y-DNA ancestor) of Louisa Co., VA, KY, & OH and their believed brother, William Hancock (b abt. 1755) of Orange Co., VA. The brothers are believed to be sons of Benjamin Hancock & Mary Beadles. No other Y-DNA testees for this particular HANCOCK family line is known at the present. We are matching with other unknown DNA family, but connections are unknown at this time.

You can tell the cousins that you have heard from the ghost of Arvil Hancock and he says that the reason he has been so quiet is because he remembers what Abe Lincoln said: "It is better to keep your mouth shut and look like a fool than to open it and remove all doubt."

Hi Carol, If you're referring to Col Nicholas Spencer, Deputy Gov of VA....it looks likely there was no daughter named Elizabeth. Col Spencer did not name one in his will (she was speculated to be an "unproven" daughter). He never left any property to an Elizabeth Spencer. I correspond with a descendant of Elizabeth Spencer and she recently determined Elizabeth was likely the sister of Col Nicholas Spencer. I don't recall what proof she had, sorry. I also don't know if her Elizabeth Spencer married a Hancock The above named Col. Nicholas Spencer married Frances Mottram (d/o Col John Mottram) who was the sister of my Ann Mottram who married Capt Richard Wright, styled "of London", who was the s/o Rev Francis Wright of Bolton-on-Swale, Yorkshire & Anne Meryton (d/o the Very Rev George Meryton, Dean of York, Chaplain to Queen Anne and a descendant of Charlemagne). The Wrights descend from ancient Viking families in Yorkshire and the Kings of Scotland (more Vikings). There are also Normans in this line (still more Vikings) Capt Richard Wright died young, leaving young children and a young widow. In his will, he specified that his brother-in-law, Col Nicholas Spencer serve in a guardianship capacity and oversee the education of his children, which he did. Col John Washington (great grandfather of George Washington) also named his good friend and business partner, Col Nicholas Spencer as guardian to his daughter Anne. Two of Spencer's wards, Major Francis Wright and Anne Washington married (my line). Back to Spencer....these were old family ties.There are Washingtons buried at Althorp (Spencer family seat). Winston Spencer Churchill is also a descendant of the [de] Spencer line. The Washingtons had "Old World" ties to the Fairfax family as well. The Spencer line has been documented (and is on the net in several places). I know they've been discussed on [email protected] One of the Medieval genealogists (Leo van de Pas) recently made his d'base available for people to search at www.genealogics.org I'm sure Leo has the Spencers in his d'base since royal genealogy is one of his specialties. The Wright-Washington line (Northern Neck of VA) is on my mom's maternal side, while Clement Hancock & Anthany (Tidewater VA) are on her paternal side. Hope this helps.......~malinda p.s. I'll copy Aunt Peggy and Virginia on this. If they have any additions or corrections, I'll let you know p.p.s.

Okay, now I understand the confusion. The next time we update the Hancock Project I will be sure it says Pine Hill, Rusk Co., TX. As for contacting Arvil, he changed his email address when he became inactive in genealogy research, so your message, most likely, didn't reach him.

I'm sorry. I started trying to contact him last February and so I don't remember where I saw it. I have looked at too much data since then. Pine Hill is in Rusk Co, Tx. He is buried in Pine Hill Methodist Cemetery. Rusk, Tx is in Cherokee Co and many people get the two mixed up. I don't know why we Texans had to make cities and counties so hard. <g> None of the cities are in the counties that have the same name.

I have not tried to correct anything; but I just tried to email Arvil. Since his documentation is so good, I just thought that he might want to correct this. (It isn't a big deal) Some people ask for corrections. Karen

When I say that Arvil has thoroughly documented his line, I mean his "direct" line. No researcher has the time, nor the inclination to document every person connected to his line. Arvil, and most researchers, accept data from cousins assuming that it is correct. I have over 15,000 names in my database that is online, most of it came from cousins and I get corrections at least once each week from people who find it. I don't know where you mean that Arvil has your Dawson Alexander Hancock listed, but he is not a webmaster, and did not upload any of the data on the Hancock Project. Chart #1 was contributed by all researchers from that line and carefully merged together. There are lots of errors in it, but not by design. Only Lisa and I can correct the data which is there, but the correction will appear on the database in our computers and will not appear online unless and until we have the time to change the website.
