Jean, are the dates correct below? I have a few that are slightly different. I don't think that Mary Corn with whom her mother was living at her death, had any children. So she couldn't have handed the bible down to a child. I will check her will to see if it is mentioned. She is the one who founded Sharp's College for Women in Winchester, TN, and at her death she freed her slaves and paid for their transport to Liberia. BTW, my husband is descended from Margaret (Peggy) SHARP, sister to the four who married CORNs.

Alicia- I am sorry but I do not have any MASS (Yankee) Hancocks. Mine were all south of the border. (Most of those named Francis however were Francis Marion)Good luck. Thanks.

Hi Tom, Well, I had to go back into my Hancock file to find out where I did get that Bible information. I thought I knew but wanted to verify it. The Bible information came from a Bible Record ("The New Testament, Edinburgh, 1800 in Jesse Corn's handwriting) according to Gary Cornn (he spells his name with 2 "n"s) via email gcornn@yahoo.com, August 27, 1998. I also relied upon a lot of information that Dr. Bob Hopkins generously shared with me about the Corn family. Another source of information about the Corn family cemetery was received by me from Larry D. Christiansen LCandBC@aol.com and a Virginia Web Site: ftp://ftp.rootsweb.com/pub/usgenweb/va/patrick/cemeteries/corn1.txt on 6-16-01. Additional Source on Corn Family: Lorna Corns-Workman pworkman@newwave.net WebPage: http://www.newwave.net/~pworkman/lorna.htm According to Gary Cornn (he spells his name with 2 "n"s) via email gcornn@yahoo.com, August 27, 1998, George was not named in his father's estate records of 1809. I have the notation that he is buried in the Corn-Stovall cemetery and that he probably died prior to his father's death in 1809. If you wish, I'll be glad to send you all the information that I have collected on the Corn family. However, please understand that this is information that I have not personally researched but have gotten from various sources both from the Corn side and the Hancock side. My guess would be that since Nancy Corn died at the residence of Mrs. Mary Sharp, her daughter, near Winchester on June 17, 1848 that the Bible was passed down through Mary Sharp's line as that is usually the way of things today. Since so many of the Corn children married members of the Sharp family I'm sure they all felt they had a part of the Bible. Mary was not the oldest dtr. but she was the one Nancy was living with when she died. Hope this gives you some leads to search for the Bible.

Rena: is there any info about a Garrard Co KY. Do you know where that is? What is a large city. I see a Lancaster. My people lived there and then, Indiana.

Thank you Julia, I'll also search further on the net for these records. I thought I had seen somewhere that their bible records were used when Nancy applied for her widows pension, but I've not managed find that article again. If Nancy had used it then (the 1840's), the bible would probably have been left in the hands of our Tennessee Corn & Sharp cousins. Anyway, I'm glad you also have some recollection and hopeful that further information may be available.

any idea who siblings might have been for this william or offspring of elisha? trying to find a connection to a rev daniel han(d)cock in snow hill md, but not having much luck so far. There are a couple of elisha's in his descendants however -- just pulling a string and wondering where it might lead.

I think that I have seen it in the Rootsweb archives, but can't remember where, and I most likely copied it, too. A search of the archives may find it, and give the location of the real thing.

As a middle child, I have a propensity to attempt to mediate and to reconcile contradicting matters, as will be reflected in my comments which follow: >> Hi Jim: I also am a middle child. When I first heard about the "birth order" theory, I immediately recognized that it didn't seem to prove out in my family. So I tested it out on a number of other families, including some in my family tree. I now consider it in the same category with Astrology. The enigmatic Mr. William Hancock continues to elude us. The more we learn, the less we know. In an attempt to get a better look at some of the old documents that have been so frquently cited but which most of us have never seen, I have been in correspondence with the library at the University of Virginia. Mr. Edward Gaynor, Head of Technical Services, Special Collections, Alderman Memorial Library, has been trying to help. In the J. Rives Childs history of the Hancocks in Virginia that was published in the Virginia Magazine of History and Biography back in the 1920s, Childs makes the statement: "The connection of William Hancock with the Virginia Company is attested to by Brown, Genesis, AND THE DEATH OF WILLIAM HANCOCK AT BERKELEY IS NOTED BY THE VA HISTORICAL COLLECTIONS, VOL 8, PAGE 278." Mr. Gaynor, at first, did not recognize "VA Historical Collections." After some searching, he found that the citation refers to: Abstract of the proceedings of the Virginia Company of London, 1619-1624, prepared from the records in the Library of Congress by Conway Robinson, and edited with an introd. and notes by R. A. Brock (Collections of the Virginia Historical Society; new ser., v. 7-8). According to Mr. Gaynor, page 278 does indeed mention "William Hancocke" as an "Adventurer" for the Virginia Company in 1620. But it does NOT state that he died at Berkeley Hundred, or indeed whether he actually came to Virginia. At the moment, we know that a William Hancock was an Adventurer in the Virginia Company of London, Second Charter, 1609. That is documented. Any other information about him is unproven, as far as I know. Arvil
