Hi Julia, I'm still attempting to trace the ancestry of my Joseph Hancock. My great grandmother's family history states that he was born in England 13 November 1743. A history of Milford, Mass says that he was impressed on a British ship and jumped ship in Boston. In 1772, he married Susanah Mellen in Hopkinton, MA, then moved to Milford, MA about 1790. He and Susannah had nine children. About 1800, he and his family moved to Washington Co., NY, and I haven't been able to trace him after that. His daughter Sena (Asenath) married into my Lewis line. I've been able to trace most of the children for a few generations, but I haven't located any English vital records that I can attribute to him. I work on genealogy research nearly every day.
