So far, no one on the Hancock DNA has matched Hector. If there is a male descendant from one of Hector's other sons, Nathaniel, Henry, Joseph, John or William, that would help out a lot.

Have to agree Sue, I am going to work on Audrey's as I have 2 distinct Hancock lines; one in the South and one in the North and both are early. Edward is not a common name in either line. William however is! -----Original Message----- From: Sue Jones via Sent: Saturday, October 04, 2014 9:47 PM To: AudreyHancock1939@sbcglobal.net ; hancock@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [HANCOCK] William Hancock I've been looking into the Hancocks that Audrey posted tonight and found a Salem, NJ, Hancock family in a genealogy chart located at..... http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/b/u/r/Dorothy-C-Burt/GENE29-0098.html These are ancestors connected to the surname Cook. If you scroll down, you'll find the Hancocks. This seems to be the same family that Audrey posted today. There is mention of Allowayes Creek in New Jersey. Is this a family represented on our Hancock DNA chart? Julia will want to know that the surname French is also mentioned in this genealogy, but perhaps this is not new information to anyone but me. The reason I grew interested in the family was because Edward Hancock and William Hancock were each appointed guardians on Oct. 28, 1737, of teenage boys with the surname of Daniel. My William Hancock (b. 1801 SC) has yet to find a group on the Hancock DNA chart, but on the Family Tree DNA matches of all surnames, my Hancock keeps coming up with a close connection to three people with the last name of Daniel. My family and this family are only 2 mutations apart in Y-DNA37 markers. When you are up against a wall genealogically, you get excited about anything that might be a new clue!!

I noticed a few years ago that many of the New Jersey lines that connect to the French and Hancock lines in New Jersey were, later, in the Craven, Jones, Carteret area of North Carolina. The children of Henry Allways of Craven County, married into my Jones line that is inter-married with my Hancock line of Craven County. The interesting thing is that he ran a tavern and had daughters named Comfort and Content Allways. There was, also, an Allways Creek in NC. As was in New Jersey. Also, the father of Phoebe Bloomfield who married a male from my French line in New Jersey died in Craven County, NC leaving a Will naming his daughter Phoebe French.

Since I have never learned, for certain, from whence the Craven families came, I watch all messages that mentions their names. The problem is that we only have one DNA test of the Hector line and it doesn't match my Craven Hancock line. We need more than one test to confirm but it appears that there are no other Hector descendants available to test. The same for the French lines in New Jersey. My line has been tested and has over 30 matches, but the Burlington line only has one male who claims to be from that line and he doesn't match my French line, the same for the one test in the French line in Craven County, NC. The one test doesn't match my French line. It is, always, possible to have an unknown adoption in a line that changes the DNA but the testing of more male descendants is needed. New Jersey is on the Atlantic Coast as is North Carolina and I have noticed other surnames of my North Carolina lines were in New Jersey as well, but with them, too, I haven't found the connection. The DNA of Dear Jean Hancock's Slocomb line in Craven County, NC matched the line in New Jersey area.

I've been looking into the Hancocks that Audrey posted tonight and found a Salem, NJ, Hancock family in a genealogy chart located at..... http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/b/u/r/Dorothy-C-Burt/GENE29-0098.html These are ancestors connected to the surname Cook. If you scroll down, you'll find the Hancocks. This seems to be the same family that Audrey posted today. There is mention of Allowayes Creek in New Jersey. Is this a family represented on our Hancock DNA chart? Julia will want to know that the surname French is also mentioned in this genealogy, but perhaps this is not new information to anyone but me. The reason I grew interested in the family was because Edward Hancock and William Hancock were each appointed guardians on Oct. 28, 1737, of teenage boys with the surname of Daniel. My William Hancock (b. 1801 SC) has yet to find a group on the Hancock DNA chart, but on the Family Tree DNA matches of all surnames, my Hancock keeps coming up with a close connection to three people with the last name of Daniel. My family and this family are only 2 mutations apart in Y-DNA37 markers. When you are up against a wall genealogically, you get excited about anything that might be a new clue!!

I've "rescued" two photographs of Leora BEECHLEY, both taken in Ashland, OH. The first is one of Leora BEECHLEY, Grace ROWLAND, and a "Persian Boy" with a note that it was taken "at Ashland". This photograph appears to have been taken in the early 1900's with the three likely in their 20's at the time. I believe that they may have been attending Ashland University. The second photograph is one of Leora BEECHLEY which was taken at the Miller Studio in Ashland, OH. It was also taken in the early 1900's with Leora appearing to be in her 20's at the time, this one also includes the reference "at Ashland". Based on limited research I was able to gather the following information regarding Leora and her family: Leora L. or S. M. BEECHLEY was b. 28 Feb 1889 in Auburn, IL to parents Levi Michael BEECHLEY (b. 1855 in Dayton, OH-1930) and C. Anna SHOEMAKER (b. 1855 in PA). Leora was one of 5 children born to this couple including, Charles A.; Lillie E.; Clarence; Melvin; and Leora L. M. BEECHLEY, all born between 1877 and 1889. Leora married John HANCOCK (b. Springfield, IL and together they had a son, Euclid Roger HANCOCK b. 19 Dec 1924 in Springfield, IL and died 5 April 1935 in Springfield, IL and buried in Auburn, IL. Leora died 24 May 1933 in Springfield, IL and is buried in Auburn, IL. Census records provide the following details: 1900 census of Chatham, IL: Levy M. BEECHLEY, age 45, born Apr 1855, married 24 years, born OH, parents born OH, a Farmer Anna BEECHLEY, age 45, Jan 1855, married 24 years, 5 children/5 living, born PA, parents born PA Charles BEECHLEY, age 22, born Jul 1877, a Farm Laborer Lillie E. BEECHLEY, age 18, born Jun 1881 Clarence BEECHLEY, age 15, born Jun 1884, at School Melvin BEECHLEY, age 13, born Dec 1888, at School Leora S. M. BEECHLEY, age 11, born Feb 1889, at School + 1 Farm Laborer 1910 census of Springfield, IL: Lee M. BEECHLEY, age 55, married 33 years, born OH, parents born PA/?, a Traveling Salesman Lilly E. BEECHLEY, dau, age 27, born IL, parents born OH/PA, a Music Teacher Melvin C. BEECHLEY, son, age 23, born IL, parents born OH/PA, a Grocery Salesman Leora M. BEECHLEY, dau, age 21, born IL, parents born OH/PA, a Music Teacher I am hoping to locate someone from Leora's family so that these photographs can be returned to their rightful place, with family. If you are a member of this family, or you know someone who might be, please contact me. Thanks, Shelley
