And all the Hancock's are in the U.K. Wishing you good health and a rainbow day, Minnie Ann Jesus , A Never Ending Friend !

Are they all in the UK ? If so...it's useful to know where they were concentrated, if that information is given. I found books that were ordered from England by George Washington and some of his Wright cousins . Some of the items were ordered from John (?sp) Cary (their agent in London). There was nothing to overtly indicate whether George Washington was living in London or not just after the Revolution .....except , we all know that he wasn't....<grin> I noticed that there were a few of the same books that were ordered by several men who may or may not be my folks ... all from Virginia.....guess they were a popular read at the time.

The age calculator I use gives a birthdate of 30 Mar 1823 for the above person. Using the 8870 gives a year of 1822, month of 15 ( that's a new one on me!) and a day of 30. Linda

Although our James Hancock is from S.C. in abt. 1797. We don't know his father or mother's name and we have no list of siblings. We know who his desendents are but don't have any other facts to go by that might answer your question. I guess the next questions are do you have any Hancocks in Jefferson County Al. or other information on Tornton that you and I can try to tire in to?

Thank you, we did have a rainny day in La Quinta, and at the end a rainbow. MM

Sue, I was just thinking that maybe the person was Blessed because, they were dead . Maybe the person who put those words there, felt that it was better to be dead then to live such a tough life. Wishing you good health and a rainbow day, Minnie Ann Jesus , A Never Ending Friend !

Thank's Sue, It sounded strange to me but after I wrote I started thinking about it and came up with the same answer as you. Wishing you good health and a rainbow day, Minnie Ann Jesus , A Never Ending Friend !

From Sue in La Quinta, CA. The only dead would mean to me that they were only dead but they live in the hearts and minds of their friends and family and are living in heaven blessed and with God. MM
