Hi Folks, America Elizabeth "Merkey" Hancock was born November 25, 1851 to Charles Jackson and Achasia Clementine Warren Hancock in Springfield, Green Co., Missouri. Charles and Achasia were from Sycamore Creek, Wilson Co., Tennessee. America was the first of their 14 children born in MO. Charles and his family went to MO with another brother and their mother, Frances Adams Hancock to MO to visit with another Hancock brother prior to going to TX. There was even another America Hancock born in 1866 who was the granddaughter of Richard Ramsey Hancock. Looks like America was a popular name for the Hancocks. And, Dr. Bob is right about the Dabneys----we have them as far back as 1804 (so far that I've found) in my husband's line.

I read of a man who stood to speak At the funeral of a friend. He referred to the dates on her tombstone >From the beginning...to the end. He noted that first came her date of birth And spoke the following date with tears, But he said what mattered most of all Was the dash between those years. (1934 - 1998) For that dash represents all the time That she spent alive on earth... And now only those who loved her Know what that little line is worth. Rena Wells rwells@apex.net

Jim I edit manuscripts, books, etc. and I think you're on the right track in corrections re George and sonRobert. We all know how much poetic license they took in 'them olden daze'! I'm not of this line but just enjoy the repartee. Alicia in FL

I have to add this one-The Hispanic people feel there are 3 deaths: The physical death The spiritual death The death when no one any longer remembers you. I thought that was a thoughtful one. Now back to work.

Jim, you are coming through okay to me. Wandra

Carolyn, I don't know if I've talked with you about Thomas Hancock before or not, but from all indications in records I've found on him and his family, I think he was born in Hertford Co., NC. It seems to point in that direction anyway.

Thanks Bob, from what I understand there were two America Hancocks. One was an America Womack and the other was America Waller. America Waller I know married Benjamin Hancock in Louisa co Va. Feb. 23, 1821 in Louisa Co. America Waller was born about 1809 in Va. and Benjamin Hancock was born about 1799 in Va. Other Hancock's in Todd Co Ky with them were W>A> Hancock b. abt.1816, wife Sarah b. abt. 1816 in Va.--- Susan Hancock b. abt 1806 in Va. and Joseph C. Hancock b. abt. 1818 in Va. Wallers in Todd Co. were Benjamin b. abt. 1812 wife Mary b. abt. 1814---------- and T.C. Waller b. abt. 1798, wife Martha b. abt. 1802 in Va. America Womack and William Hancock, all I know about them is he died before 1860, and she was born in Va. about 1805. Their children that I am sure about are Mary E.C. Hancock b. abt.1835 and married Pleasant Wheeler in Union Co. Ky March 8, 1854, James M. Hancock b. abt 1838, and Dabney b. abt 1845. I recognized the Dabney as a connection to the surname Dabney's who married Hancocks and I'm sure there is a connection. But I don't have a positive one and not on Sarah Caroline either---------Alan Jeffrey KJEFFREY@peoplepc.com

Hi Ardath I have no info, but another possibility about the birthdates (March vs. August 1811) is that the birth month of "3" was misread as birthmonth of "8", or vice versa. This has happened in my non-Hancock side of the family.

Sorry list: This is getting goofy, but what I meant by my recent letter regarding anyone wanting a copy of my prior letter on Robert Hancock (and wife Margaret) was that for some unknown reason my letter was received with extra language in it; such as this, "then it could have been copied wrong. If Simon did however, have possesio=n of=20 it, it's harder to explain...and =A0We might apply this to othe=r=20"). Anyway, the same thing just happened to Arvil and again to me. So if anyone wants to keep up with these exchanges and not have to read those goofy letters, contact me for a direct resend. Again, I'm sorry about the confusion and the extra email space being used on accoun of it. If it happened again on this letter I quit! Jim Hancock

This may not help but I have an America Hancock est born 1845 who was a d/o Charles Hancock 1823 Wison Co TN. I have no other info on America.

In light of all the recent really good discussion, can anyone tell me which family my Thomas Hancock belongs to. This particular Thomas was born about 1780-90, had a wife Mary Saunders He was elected Sheriff in Randolph Co., NC 1826-27 Some of his children were: Virginia Abner b. 1811 in NC John Pipkin b. 1816 NC (was a cobbler in Missouri during civil war) Hillary Hogan b. 1820 Nancy Elisha Henderson Thanks so much for any help.

Hello Arvil: I appreciate your latest comments! 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: 1). You have established that our William is not the same as the one who m. Susan Poynter in England. So his ancestry remains unknown. You also find no estate there on our William. This all fits okay. Until we learn otherwise, I am content with the possibility that the Bible is accurate as to William the immigrant coming over in search of forest; his being killed in the massacre in 1622 (I think your old letter dealt very thoroughly with the possibility that he did die in the massacre); and with son Augustin coming over in 1630 to claim the estate. We don't know what financial difficulties William may have been experiencing when he came here. His investment was small and he was not styled "Gentleman" as an investor in the London Company. He was young and maybe just starting in his ship-building business. For all we know he had borrowed heavily in England. If he had left a substantial estate there, why wasn't it found? He may have gotten into some financial trouble and felt the need to make the trip to Virginia with hopes of succeeding. He would send for his family later.   Possibility: If our William left no estate in England it would explain why son Augustin came over anyway. Augustin may have had nothing to gain financially by remaining in England, so he came to America in hopes of claiming something from his father's estate. The Bible only gave Augustin's motive for coming here, not that he had succeeded. When Augustin came over he may have found no estate, and that the land had in-fact been granted to someone else. To continue with your thoughts, once he found nothing in America, Augustin went back to England. He therefore left no known Virginia records of his stay here. 2).  A look at the later part of the Bible record according to "Johnstons of Salisbury:" The Bible record is right on target as to George (b. 1724), marrying Mary Jones, and as to the names of their children. This has been substantiated by the deed records. The Bible also has this George as being the son of Robert Hancock. This is exactly where the deed records are pointing us. We have agreement here between the Bible notes and the deed records, in that George Hancock had wife Mary Jones; that they had children (as named in the Bible); and that Robert was George's father. This is major!   Some comments on the other part of the Bible which says "George died, leaving one child, Robert, born 1679, died 1732. Robert left children, Robert, b 1711; he was ancestor of Colonel Wm. Hancock, of Bedford county, Virginia; Edward, born 1713...:"   I agree with you that Robert, b. 1711, couldn't have been the ancestor of Col. William, b 1720.  But that is exactly what the text we have says. We know then that that part is wrong, and that whoever wrote the notes simply failed to use parentheses and otherwise put this part of the sentence in it's proper place. To be accurate then, it should have read "George died, leaving one child, Robert, b 1679, died 1732 (he was ancestor of Colonel Wm Hancock, of Bedford co., Virginia). Robert left children: Robert, b 1711; Edward, born 1713..." This we know. We know of that error in the Bible record, and that with proper placement in the narrative the material fits just fine.  We might apply this to other parts of the Bible notes also.  For instance:  From other sources we know that Robert and Johan (Ligon) Hancock had a son, Robert, Jr., who married Margaret. We know that Robert, Jr died, and that his wife Margaret, had many land dealings with people having the same names as those referred to in the Bible as children of Robert (1679-1732). I see know no way around it. This info, taken with the previously mentioned deeds confirming George Hancock and wife Mary Jones, strongly tie these lines together, and compel us to rethink the Bible record here. One way to 'reorganize' this part of the Bible record to make it fit with the deed records, is for it to have said: "George died, leaving one child. [Period, disconnecting from the next part]  "Robert, b. 1679, died 1732. Robert left children, Robert, born 1711..."   I guess this is possible, but it's probably pushing it a bit. A natural reading of what we have reads smoothly, i.e. "George died, leaving one child, Robert, b. 1679..." We don't really know who had possession of the Bible. It may have been someone more contemporary than Simon (whom we think had the Bible).  If so, then it could have been copied wrong. If Simon did however, have possesion of it, it's harder to explain, since we know that he was contemporary with the info about "George leaving one child, Robert."   However, this is all just supposition, and it might be best to say that whoever wrote that material down actually thought it was true, but was simply wrong. I wish I could come up with other ways to reconcile all this. I am continuing to look at the Virginia records for more clues. As always, my best to you, Jim

My name Alan Jeffrey. I am looking for the Ancestry of Sarah Caroline Hancock. She was born about 1826 in Louisa Co Va. in about 1826. She is in the 1850 Todd Co. Ky Census, married to Will Jeffreys. Living close to her is Benjamin and America Hancock. Then in the 1860 Union Co Ky. Census she in Morganfield with her husband, Wm. L. Jeffreys. And living close to her is an America Hancock. But the only person I can find married to an America Hancock is William Hancock. America's children in 1860 were listed as James M. (22) born in Va. and Dabney (14) Ky. I am told that this is also Caroline's mother but we can't make positive connections.

I recieved this message and I don't know what it is about. Please explain.
