I am still interested in the descendents of Major Hancock (born abt. 1745 in VA, died about 1840 in Missouri) and his wife Ann Thomas (born abt. 1746 in VA, died about 1783 in VA). I am descended from their daughter Susannah who married Charles Moreland Oct 22, 1790. I would be very pleased to exchange information. I am very sorry to hear about Dale Hancock's dying. He was an excellent genealogist and a very nice fellow. Eldon J.

Dear Hancock family, I have just received a notice that our dear friend, Dale Hancock, of Mississippi passed away on December 17th and know that many of you would want to know. Odessa & Helene and I decided that since we haven't heard from many of our Hancock friends here on the Hancock list in a long while, it is time that we all checked in and said hello and maybe you will give us an update on what is happening with you and yours. I am the same (just a lot older). Still doing genealogy research as often as possible, among other hobbies and have 10 grandchildren to keep me hopping. Julia French Wood Hancock list Adm.

Hi Everyone. This is Helene. First the bad news: My husband of 58 years, Marion "Tex" Udell Pockrus died Oct 5 here at home after a month of acute leukemia. He'd been sick for many years but kept a positive attitude. Sure miss his kibitzing about all this. Tex's grandmother Virginia Hancock married Rufus Pockrus. Her father was Elijah O. Hancock who was born in Georgia in 1838 and Isham Hancock was his father. Although the 1850 census says he was born in GA, it appears he was born probably in Randolph Co., NC to John who signed with a "J" Hancock and Sarah Augustine,( or was the last child of J Hancock's first child Isaiah who married Cassandra Deane.) I feel the naming patterns and moving patterns point to J. and Sarah Augustine as parents. However there is also an Isham in "J" Hancocks family born before 1867 that I have no children or marriage for. Could he be Odessa's Isom Hancock? I am finally getting some interest in the DNA on Isham Hancock .I am sure he had 2 families. One in NC (Oliff Bolin) and one in Alabama. He went back and forth between the two and Betsy in Alabama actually had the sheriff look for him (Isham H. Hancock)at one time when I believe he was in NC. Some of this has to actually be put on a time line. No burial placed can be ascertained for him in AL. Will be working on it this year. The censuses that don't show in Alabama are in NC and Vis versa. Very interesting. Helene From: "Eldon J.
