Your input will be valued. South Carolina is one of the worst places to research, because of the lack of records. There were other Hancocks in SC, but not mine, so I am not familiar with the lines. Perhaps someone from one of them will be able to help you to connect or to let you know which ones do not connect to you. The DNA test will, definitely, prove whether you are, or are not from the William of England line. We call that line, Chart #1 because of the Hancock Project that we began years ago and have posted on the Internet. We have three matches from that line, so we have established a Haplotype for the line. Julia French Wood

I am just now connecting an idea I had to what you sent------- does it seem to you that middle names were used from surnames? If so this could really connect families. Mine used middle names of Bowen and Tilllllman, and Newton. I see you list some,,,,,, like Graves and Monroe. I've looked for when my John Hancock should have been in VA, and I see those surnames also.

I am stuck on finding the parents of an ancestor (John L. Hancock) who was born between 1770 and 1780. I can't seem to get beyond this point. If anyone reads the information below and wants to comment, I would appreciate hearing from you. My grandfather was Charles Thomas Hancock (b. 9/16/1873 in Bell County, TX), who was the son of William Powell Hancock (b. 6/19/1833 in Copiah County, MS). W.P. Hancock was a Texas legislator and one of the founders of Salado, TX. He is buried in Wingate, TX (near Abilene) close to my grandfather and a lot of other Hancocks. William P. Hancock was the son of William Hancock (b. 1800/1 in South Carolina), who was the son of John L. Hancock (b. abt. 1770 to 1780). I'm having a terrible time getting beyond John L. I know that he had at least 10 sons and 1 daughter as revealed in the 1830 Census in Copiah County, MS. The 1840 Census says he was still there and had only 6 sons and 1 daughter still at home. According to the age given on the census records, John L. would have been born between 1770 and 1780. His son William was still living in Copiah County at that time but moved his family to Texas in 1846 and settled in Cass County before moving to Bell County 5 years lat! er. Because of the family naming patterns, I speculate that my line probably goes back to William Hancock (son of Thomas in England) who came to America about 1619. He had at least 3 sons who came to America after he was killed by Indians at Jamestown. The names Thomas, William, John, and Robert get repeated constantly in William's early family and are repeated constantly in my own latter-day family. As an example, my 3g grandfather is John; my 2g grandfather is William; my 1g grandfather is William, my grandfather is Thomas, my father is William, and my son is William. Because I am stuck on John L. Hancock in the 1770s, I can't finish the connection to the sons of William from England. So I've decided to do the DNA testing on my father, William Dee Hancock. He is 93 years old. By comparing DNA with some of the people who can make definite connections to their early ancestors, I hope to get the right line and perhaps make my way to John L. in the 1770s. Your input will be valued. Sue Hancock Jones Lubbock, TX

We have more matches in our DNA Project and they are posted on the website. Let me know if there are questions or errors. We should be getting more results in soon. Some are running very late. We have 18 members of the testing group, but not all Test Kits have been returned to the Lab. Be sure to "Reload" the page if you have been there before. http://small-stuff.com/HANCOCK/DNA/results.htm Julia

Can anyone tell me if there is going to be a Hancock reunion this summer at the Pinegrove Church in Ga? Thanks, Ken

William Crawford Hancock Sr is my ggg grandfather. His son, William Richard "Uncle Dick" Hancock was the great grandfather of my mother, Mary Louise Randolph Whitehead.

Well said, Julia. David, please do post your Hancock line as none of us are really sure how far back our Hancock lines do go. Perhaps another male (one or more) in your direct line would be willing to share the cost of the DNA testing for your line with just one of you turning in the kit to be analyzed. You would get the same results and all of you would benefit from the results as well. Just a thought. Jean Hancock in TX P. S.

Most participants contact others of the lines that they suspect that they may connect with to encourage them to participate and in some cases offer to pay for the test in order to be sure the line is represented. If the UK is under-represented on our Hancock list or in our DNA testing, the blame must fall on the UK researchers, as everyone is welcome.

I agree with your conclusion that these folks are most probably of the Surry Co VA Hancock line (dead ended at the moment with Clement Sr and Anthany).....HOWEVER. > > There's a problem....how d! o you explain that Clement Jr (s/o Clement Sr & Anthany Hancock) was already deceased (with a deceased young daughter named Susannah) in 1758 when his father died ? His widow Mary (nee Harrison d/o John Harrison) sold his land in Surry Co VA a few years later. Thus...he can NOT be Clement Hancock b 1754. I'm totally lost...are you saying that Clement Jr's wife was Mary Harrison (NOT - RENFROE), d/o John Harrison? The children that I have on record for Clement Jr. and Mary Renfore are: 1. Joseph (m. Mary Brady); 2. William (md., Mary Hatcher); 3. Unity -- my ancestor (m. Judkins Hunt, Jr.); 4. Clement, III (m. Temperance Jackson); 5. John (m. Eleanor Jackson), 6. Enoch (name for Mary's father), 7. Joel (m. 1st., Elizabeth Brady? and 2nd., Marther Reeves and 8. Mary Hancock (m. Adam Clay). My records show that Clement Sr., had another wife (unk.). Clement St. and Anthany (mnunk.) children were: 1. Anthany; 2. Letitia (m. Frederick Greene -- related to Rev. M! yles Greene m. Elizabeth Hunt, d/o Capt. Judkins Hunt, Sr. and Martha Batte); 3. Lucy (m. William Mitchell) -- your ancestors; 4. Sarah; 5. Hannah; 6. William (m. Rebecca Jones); 7. Mary; 8. Clement Jr. - ???? (m. Mary Renfore); 9. Benjamin Hancock (m. Sarah Stainback). There was an adopted son, Robert Dudley Hancock (m. unk. Elizabeth). The Hunts also were related to the Jones and Stainback families. > > There is a more likely probability this Clement was the grandson of Robert Hancock of Surry Co VA and his wife Mary Doby. The details should be in the HANCOCK-L archives. This Robert Hancock is likely either an older son or younger brother of Clement Sr. This same Robert Hancock is also the most likely progenitor of Bill Felknor's line. Further details of this are also in the list archives from years ago. You might want to search them and see what you think. Do no have anything regarding a Robert Hancock and his wife Mary Doby, Surry Co., VA. My records show Clement Sr.'s parents -- William Hancock and and Eliza! beth Phillips. So perhaps Robert Hancock was the brother(???) of Clement Sr. > > I'll copy Aunt Peggy on this . It's her research work.

Thanks...it would be interesting if somone from Bill Felknor's line could be tested too. > What DNA ??.......did Alvis do a DNA sample ?

HANCOCK'S can anyone help me? I am searching for any connection for my line. I am as far back as John Hancock b- cir 1811 VA, m- fannie Shepperd(any spellling) b- cir 1817 KY (THIS FAMILY JUST LOVES TO USE MIDDLE NAMES) there children are- Robert-b-cir 1838 Martha-b-cir 1836 James Richard 3/1839 Lucy E 1841 John C 1843 Newton H 1845 (could be Harrison) Fanny B 1847 Allen Bowen 1851 Elias tillman 3/1853 ( all are born Bedford, Trimble County, KY) I find a Lewis and Robert in Oldham county KY, in 1830, only 2 with children about John's age, yet neither prove to have him in 1820. Oldham is the only place I belive bedford KY to be before its formed in 1837. I am not at the moment able to search anywhere but online, and I am stuck on every side of my tree at 1840. I am trying to learn how, but is not easy, what am I doing wrong? Thing that gets me is some of these middle names, 'Newton' is repeated several times. 'Bowen' 'Tillman' both are surnames in Virginia. I know I'm rambling, but I am so confused!!! I've met other related to other sides of my fam, except this side, and this is the most active site I am subscribed to, befounds me. This family has been nothing but trouble since I started! Any advice would be greatly appreciated (Alan I have something to send you I found- give me afew) Tori Tioraidh an drasda, Tori - [email protected] Searching- COUNTS(Crouch, Sartain,Williams,Raper, Martin), HANCOCK(Adams, Abbott, Shepperd, Leach,Imel,Speck, Sprunger), MCNIEL(Gaddy,Brown,Lindsey,Mason,Moon)CAREY(Hancock, Catterton,Gibson,Dodder(Dobson),Leach), and any family connections. _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?
