The latest match is another in the Capt. John Hancock line. http://www.small-stuff.com/HANCOCK/DNA/results.htm Julia French Wood

A note I had under Stephen's son, John William - Found a John W. Hancock marrying Saloms T. Price on December 23, 1871 in Owen County, Indiana (Book 31, Page 67). Also found a will dated 9/10/1920 in Owen County (Book 9, Page 27). Could not be this John W. (dates) but possibly his children??

Becky; Thank you for the information on Anderson Hancock. I have just started working on this line after a tip I received, so I don't know if they were mine or not; but Eliza. E is the right age to be my Elizabeth Hancock. And there is a Rebecca Jane there. My Aunt Jane was supposedly named after a sister of Elizabeth's. There were very few Hancocks on the Fountain County census records for 1860 and 1870. The WPA's for Fountain Co led me to check in Boone Co. A family of Hancocks had moved to Stone Bluff in Fountain Co that had an Elizabeth about the right age to be ours, so I assumed it was. After all, we did have the marriage records. Well it turns out, I was wrong, while my Elizabeth was married and living in Vermillion Co Ind, in 1880, this one was at home. Since Fountain co, she had lived in Edgar and Vermillion Co Illinois. She married and died in Vermillion Co Il. I feel the families do connect and tips from Boone county Indiana led me to check out Anderson or Andrew Hancock in Edgar county. So I still don't know if there was a match or not, but do appreaciate the info you sent. At least I do know that Eliza. on that census is the right age. My Elizabeth has a birthdate of May 1856 on the 1900 census.

I don't know if you looked at the website for the FRENCH results, but there are six matches (you read them across not vertically) and there are 25 markers in every person's results. It they match 25 of 25, 24 or 25 or 23 or 25 they are considered to be of the same male line. Note, the Y-DNA goes from father to son to son forever, therefore the surname is always the same. Hector's surname is Hancock and Joseph's is French so they are not in a direct male line unless one was adopted and does not have the correct surname. When Hector's markers come in, I will compare them to Joseph's in any case to be sure. I agree that Joseph may have been Hector's nephew or of some other relationship. Julia

Joseph's results are in but he didn't match anyone. The interesting thing is that we have six matches, and my nephew's DNA is one of the six. I was stuck on my line for years and have now, connected to all the New Jersey Quakers. None of them knew of each other and we, appartently, hale from England. I will give you the URL at the end, but want to explain the chart. The colors represent matches. The rule is that if two or more participants match on from 25 to 23 out of 25 markers they are considered a match. The mis-matches, called mutations, occur about once in every 20 births, but can occur at anytime or not at all. It is like dealing cards you never know what cards you will get. Of course a match means that the two have a common male ancestor somewhere up their family line. Hopefully, by comparing paper research they can find where they connect. http://www.small-stuff.com/FRENCH/ Julia

Hi Julia, Maybe this is a dumb question, but is there any way to check if Joseph French's DNA has a match with Susan Hancock's(Hector's)DNA to see if they are related? Of course it wouldn't mean anything if it was off of his wife's line. Just a thought. He could have been related. Thanks for replying. Was it 25 to 23 matches? That seems like a lot?

I would love to find out any information on JOHN MILLS HANCOCK. My gr-grandmother, Mary Henwood, was born in Stoke Climsland, Cornwall, was married to William James Francis. They had two children, Sidney born in 1862 and Minnie Ann born in 1864. William was killed in a mining accident, and Mary married John Mills Hancock sometime between 1864 and 1869. I believe that John Mills Hancock was born in Exeter, Devon, birth date unknown. I do not know the name of his parents. I have found a John M. Hancock married to a Mary Francis Henwood 31 January 1869 at Old Church, Saint Pancras, London. I always thought they came to the United States in 1867, so this might not be the right one. I did find them in the 1880 U.S. Census in Brewster, New York. Any help would be much appreciated. Astrid (Laurel, Maryland)

I would love to have the book. The William wife Fanny are my greatgrand parents. I will be glad to pay you for the book and also pay for the postage to send it. I have been looking for information on William for years. I hope to hear from you soon.

EdnaRuth, One more quick note. There is also a Rebecca in the 1910 census. she is with(either visiting or living) her daughter and son-in-law. Wheatley, James 44 KY " Lillie 41 " (she could have been born after the census was taken. Maybe Rebecca was pregnant when the census was taken. She would be just the right age.) " Lillie M 16 KY HANCOCK Rebecca 81 KY mother-in-law. Widowed. mother of 7 living children. This census was in Union Co. KY. The town was part of Mag. Dist. # 6. Page 190, Roll 504. All the ages seem to fit. I think it could be Anderson's widow. In the other census, there are 6 children, and this Lillie could be the 8th child. She could at the point of the 1870 census have a married son or daughter. Have you found their marriage license , or know where they were married? Becky

Hi, One quick correction, Zanesville, Post Office, Town 10, Range 5. Also, George T. was born in KY and was being the Farm Hand. Becky

He is in the 1870 census in the Posey IN, Mount Vernon City. 117 Hancock, Addison 26 KY Farmer " , Annie 25 " Keeping House " , Nannie 2 " " , Benjamin 1 " This census was taken 8 Jun 1870.

Anderson Hancock's middle name was Jackson. I have also seen messages where he was referred to as Andrew Jackson Hancock. His family was from Va and Ky. I believe he was connected to the Hancocks in Boone and Fountain Co Indiana. His wife was from Indiana and they may have moved back there after Anderson's death, before returning to Illinois. His wife, Rebecca died in Springfielld Illinois.
