Hello Mary. I replied to your mother Doris tonight before realizing that I also had an e-mail from you. As a result, I am copying this message to her. Before I say more, let me share with you an e-mail I received from someone named Bob Hopkins. It reads as follows: There is a John L Hancock born 1770s probably in VA (or on the VA/NC border) that is a son of Benjamin 1740 and Sarah Lane. This John L was in Cumberland Co KY before 1800 and then disappeared. (He may have died or simply moved on by 1815.) John L Hancock and Tabitha Ballew married on 19 Jul 1806 in Wayne Co, Ky. Benjamin 1740 may be a son of Benjamin 1710 but this has not been proved. BobHop End of Bob's message...... This sounds like the same John L. you discussed in your e-mail. The problem I'm having is that my John L. has to have had a son named William in South Carolina about 1800. The John L. mentioned above doesn't seem to have been in South Carolina around that time and didn't get married until 1806, though he is old enough to have been married earlier to someone besides Tabitha. I wonder if it is possible that there was an elder John Hancock with a son named William living in Warren County, MS at the same time there was an elder John Hancock in the neighboring Copiah County with a son named William. By the way, I found a marriage record on ancestry.com for a John L. Hancock marrying Cynthia Boothe on June 19, 1840, in Copiah County, MS. I am really interested in pursuing this but probably can't do so until next week because of deadline pressures at work (I'm Director of Publications at Texas Tech University). I will be back in touch, however. Doris, would you please send Mary the information I sent you? If you learn more, please share it with me and I'll do the same with you as soon as I can get back to my research. You are right about Robert and Thomas. They were probably sons of one of John L.'s children.

I have been trying to make a connection to this family. My gr grandfather was Robert Scott Hancock and he had a brother names Thomas I Hancock. They lived in and around Phoenix, Yazoo County, MS. I was told that John L was married to a Tabitha Belien but the only John L I have been able to find is John L married to Tabitha Ballew. I think this could be the same family. My mother and I think that Robert and Thomas were sons of one of John L's children. The family seems to have come from Virginia, to Kentucky, Tennessee and finally settling in Mississippi. The names of his son's as far as we can tell were John L, Joel W, William, Tarleton, Leonard, Isaac, Josiah Flowers, James, L W, and George M. George M's will mentions his sister Nancy. The dates I have are George M born Va 1805, LW born 1816 Tn, James 1807 KY, Leonard 1815 Tn, Tarleton born 1811 KY, and John L born 1817 Tn. These dates are just from information gathered in the census records. John L is found in 1850 Warren County, Ms census married to Maria age 24, with children Charity age 8, Mary A age 6, Caroline age 4 and James W age 1. Tarleton E was in the same census with Sarah age 21, and Daniel age 2. Leonard was age 35, Artimissa age 23, and his mother Tabitha age 68, this would mean she was born in 1782. I did find someone else with a Tarleton Hancock and I think they must me connected somehow but it is not our Tarleton because the year is wrong. I also looking at the census records for 1830 & 1840 and found John L and William, but I also found that in 1840 the name right before John was Leonard Below. Could this be a relation? Since, John L's son is named Leonard and his wife is Tabitha Ballew this could be a brother. Hope you know some things we do not. Sincerely, Mary ==== HANCOCK Mailing List ==== This is a closed list.

Julia, When I ordered the DNA kit for my father earlier this week, my cost was much higher than what you quoted below. I signed up for the 25 marker test for $231. The 12 marker test was $159. My order confirmation says that I am getting the Y-DNAPlus test from Family Tree DNA. This company apparently has two ordering sites on the web and the price is different on each site. I ordered from http://www.familytreedna.com/order_form.asp. The other site (http://www.familytreedna.com/surname_join.asp?code=C11261) is cheaper but it's the same company. I guess I need to contact them and find out what's happening.

from the Jasper Texas Newsboy this was put in the Thomasville paper. Found it on a trip to Georgia library. At the residence of Mr. C.A. Hancock in Newton Co, Texas, January 28th, 1880, Mr. W.R. Hancock, aged 79 years 7 months 9 days died. He was born in Pitt Co, NC June 19 1800, came to Thomasville, Georgia in 1821, and thence to Newton Co., Tx in January 1872 and has been confined to bed for 6 years. This obit would be referring to Charles Allen Hancock and his father William Richard Hancock. Those who have been trying to tie him in with James and Mary Frizzle Hancock may find use of this information. It is my belief that William traveled to Texas with his son Jonathan Hancock. He had lived with Jonathan many years in Thomasville and once they arrived in Texas, William probably went to live with Charles. Paricia Haynes, descendant of Charles Hancock through his son Tom.

the sad fact is women didn't have any rights back then and if the children were old enough to work they were put under someone else's care . Usually young children were allowed to stay with their mother. When I say old enough to work this could be as young as 7 years old. And if their father owed money they were often used to pay of the debts for him.

Hello Linda, do you any of these papers? Also if you are related to the James Monroe that was the son of Benjamin and America Hancock, we have some info on the Wallers going back to the Royal families of Europe. Alan Jeffrey

I am not sure, but I think I remember reading that guardians were expected to be male. I think this is a carry-over from the way of thinking toward bastardy bonds then. Some male had to be responsible for underage children to make sure they were provided for and did not become a burden on the state.

Hello All, I am hoping that someone can help explain something to me. Can anyone help explain how Guardianships were done in the early 1800s and why a mother had to go to court to be named the Guardian of her own children. I have a document from 1851, Todd Co. Ky. that shows that Benjamin Hancock died before July of 1851. None of his family stepped forward to be executor of the estate so the court stepped in Oct. 14, 1851 and seized it. In June 1852, Preston L. Yancy was named, Guardian for the two youngest children, James Monroe and Dabney Hancock, which were minors. America M. Hancock was the mother and alive at the time. Why wasn't she named Guardian or why did she even have to be named that, since it was her children. Preston L. Yancy was also the Plaintiff in the court cases following involving the sale of the estate. Alan Jeffrey

There is a John L Hancock born 1770s probably in VA (or on the VA/NC border) that is a son of Benjamin 1740 and Sarah Lane. This John L was in Cumberland Co KY before 1800 and then disappeared. (He may have died or simply moved on by 1815.) John L Hancock and Tabitha Ballew married on 19 Jul 1806 in Wayne Co, Ky. Benjamin 1740 may be a son of Benjamin 1710 but this has not been proved.

Tori, this is how middle name used to work - most of the time. Example: James Hancock marries Suzy Hardee They name their son James Hardee / Hardy Hancock Or there is an important or loved relative, The son or daughter is given the first name of that person as there middle name. In one of my wife's lines almost every male was either James, Charles or William and those that missed out got both of them for good measure. So we get James Charlie, James William, or William Charles, etc. Now if you really want a problem. In Europe, unless you where High Born you did not get a middle name until about 1600 when Tax Collectors had to find a way to improve collections for the kingdom. Middle name could then be your town, your occupation or even the name of the Census/Tax collector.
