Hi Malinda, Thanks for the information. I believe they a possible key to locating him after VA is connevted to the Arledge family and possibly the Featherstone family. Some Arledges were in Madison County, AL and they may have migrated about the same time to AL. Ann Hancock, wife of Clement is buried in the Arledge and Jones Cemetery in Houston Co Texas. Somehow they all moved from SC/NC to AL and some on to Texas. Thanks again, Bill Felknor billf2k@yahoo.com _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?

I don't know where he lived in NC/SC, but he was born 6 March, 1755 and christened 13 April 1755 in VA, per the"Register of Albemarle Parish Surry and Sussex Counties 1739-1778", Gertrude Richardson/Colonial Dames Edition . His godparents were Frederick Green [who married Letitia Hancock d/o Clement & Antheny Hancock], David Mason [two of Clement's granddaughters married Mason brothers, John & James] and Antheny Hancock [this could be either Antheny w/o Clement Hancock Sr..or Antheny d/o Clement & Antheny Sr]. His parents were Robert Hancock Sr and Elizabeth (nee Doby). There are many deed records in Surry/Sussex Co VA that show a very close relationship between Clement Hancock Sr and Robert Hancock Sr...close enough to suggest they were either father and son or brothers, with Clement playing the role of guardian. ~malinda Bill Felknor wrote: > Hi, > Can anyone help me with where Robert Hancock(born 1753-1755) lived in North or Souh Carolina prior to migrating to Madison County Alabama.

Hi, Can anyone help me with where Robert Hancock(born 1753-1755) lived in North or Souh Carolina prior to migrating to Madison County Alabama. There seems to have been a family connection between the Arledge's and the Hancock's prior to Alabama. Any suggestions or ideas would be most appreciated. Thanks Bill Felknor billf2k@yahoo.com

To all my Hancock cousins and friends, I want to say that all the prayers have been felt and appreciated, and most of all, they seemed to have been answered. Without them and modern, medical science, my little Angel wouldn't have made it this far. She was three months old on the 9th of Oct. and weighed six pounds. Just then ready to be born. And has, already, had more medical surgeries and overcome more problems than most experience in a lifetime. She is still fighting, and although back on the ventilator, is making slight progress. Thanks, once more, for all the prayers and well wishes. Julia

Julia, You have Hancocks pulling for you so the prayers should give you strength as well as positive influence on that little one's life. Hang in there. For everything there is a reason and maybe it is to teach us patience and to look inward. Hence I have learned much patience in trying to find Isham Hancock's parentage in Georgia.

Things have been so bad that I didn't have time, nor did I want to talk about it. My little granddaughter was only home for 24 hours and was rushed back to ICU. She has had five surgeries in the past month, and is fighting for her life. It must be that Hancock blood that keeps her going, as she has overcome, seemingly, overwhelming odds, so far. My husband had complications from his five by-pass heart surgery from a Staph infection that he picked up from the hospital. He required more surgery and finally came on last Saturday. My Mom has a few good days, but mostly, bad, and I am still tending her every need. My heart is still with all of you, though, and I do my research whenever possible. There is so much online, now, whenever I get a clue, I can find lots on my family on the USGenWeb and on personal webpages, via a search. I just recently got a clue on my LINDSEY family. My ggrandmother, Matilda LINDSEY, married my William Henry HANCOCK in Prairie Co., AR in 1865, and I have been looking for her family for years. I knew that he was in Panalo Co., MS in 1850, and I ordered his Civil War, CSA, records. He spent all his furlow time in Desoto Co., MS and says that he was born in Hernando, MS. Since he married so close to the end of the war, I decided that he must have met his wife there in MS, so I searched all the surounding counties, and found Daniel B(urfoot) LINDSEY in Marshall Co., MS in 1850 with Matilda, age 5. Daniel, his wife and his first two children were born in NC, but I couldn't find where. I decided to trace "all" his children and their children until I got a clue, and it worked. In the most unlikely place, I found the answer. I ordered the Civil War records of Matilda's brother, Daniel G. Lindsey, and on one sheet it says, "this soldier is wounded, and on furlow, visiting relatives in Washinton Co., NC, and is in need of a new uniform". I did a quick search of the Washington Co., NC census of 1860, and found that the only LINDSEY there was a J.J. LINDSEY and his wife, Matilda. (My Matilda's eldest brother was named, J.J., also). I traced this family to Currituck Co., NC and voila, found my Daniel Burfoot Lindsey. It only took me six years to find them, but except for the census records and military records, all that I found was either on my CD's or online. And all that I found was in the past few months. This is a great computer age that we live in. I was thinking of Odessa and the other Hancock researchers who have their family in Marshall Co., MS. Although, I didn't find any Hancocks in Currituck, and didn't find just how my Hancock's and Lindseys met, there are many familes in the Marshall Co., MS area that are from Currituck. The migration was Marshall Co., MS>Desoto Co., MS>Phillips & St. Francis Co., AR. Daniel Burfoot LINDSEY died in 1868 in Phillips Co., AR, but his eldest son, J.J. remained in Desoto Co., MS. Don't over look those siblings, and don't fail to look at every peice of paper that you can find.

Thanks, Odessa. That is the kind of proof that we need to see. It is too bad that the gentleman who stated that Gabriel was the son of Hector isn't online, and on this list, as I suppose he was jumping to conclusions about Gabriel, just because the name is the same as Hector's grandson. Proves that in genealogy research, we can never jump to conclusions.

Hello Julia: I guess tracking Joel Hancock's has become a hobby of mine, since I can't get past my G-G-Granpappy Joel of Georgia! The problem is a surplus of Joel's------Joel's here; Joel's there; Joel's Joel's everywhere!!!! Right now, I'm just hoping for a miracle!! Good to hear from you, BTW!! Alvis

Odessa: Good to hear from you again!! Yes, the Joel of Tuscaloosa Co, & Madison Co. are one & the same. This is the 'ol boy that got indicted for murder in Madison Co., & I've never been able to find the result. As you probably know, the Madison Co. Courthouse has burned 2-3 times--the only records that remain are the "Jones Records". Alvis

Alvis there was a Joel in Tuscaloosa county in the late 1830's and the info that I remember indicated that he was from Madison county. I do not know if he was the same Joel. Odessa

I have an Andrew Jackson HANCOCK born in Wilson County, Kansas, 1862. His parents were John Hancock, Jr. and Nancy Foreman. He married Lillie Lovett June 1885 in Wilson County. I have more information if there is any connection for anyone. Jean Hancock Proud
