St Joe (not Joseph in AR apparently) is a small town along the Buffalo River in Searcy Co. AR. I first searched there when chasing my grgrandpa, William Pitchford Stone, b 1844, Forsyth Co, GA. He and wife Sarah Elizabeth Christopher Stone, moved there from Blount Co, AL after 1866 when his side lost in the Civil War. Brothers Francis Asbury Stone and James Stone moved to Boone Co, adjacent to Searcy Co. Their father, Wiley Stone, b 1806, SC and wife Candace Buckner Stone, moved with them. The Stone neighbors were the James Clayton Hancock family and farmed alongside the Stone place. So James Hancock m Mary Etta Stone and James picked Martha. There is a PBS video tape of the Buffalo these days called "The Buffalo Flows". It is a fine introduction to this scenic river. I have never seen it but would like to very much. Audrey, you may remember that years ago we met when I was explaining how I was trying to offer a prize to the student in the high school in Dufur, OR who found the gravesite for William Pitchford Stone and wrote a short essay of what could be discovered locally about this veteran of the 28th AL Inf. I lamented that the high school history teacher didn't see my effort in the spirit intended. As I recall you were sympathetic. I will pass along all the comments here to my Hancock - Creel cousins up there in OR. Yes we did find Wm P's unmarked grave through the efforts in Dufur of the "Daughters" , an organization honoring the history of the south. They assisted in getting an appropriately marked grave marker and we put on a dedication that was very jolly for descendants numbering up to a hundred in the Odd Fellows Cemetery on a hillside in that rolling farm country about 15 miles south of The Dalles along a "cut off" trail originated by those who wanted to quit the Columbia and head overland to the lush valleys to the south. ron in CA On 3/15/2014 10:56 AM, Audrey Shields Hancock wrote: > Ron, > For those who tested and are in Chart 3 Group, you may wish to visit this > website and the links thus included on the site. > > http://tinyurl.com/9kn89gw > > Audrey > > > -----Original Message----- > From: hancock-bounces@rootsweb.com > [mailto:hancock-bounces@rootsweb.com]On Behalf Of JULIAFWOOD@aol.com > Sent: Saturday, March 15, 2014 10:49 AM > To: hancock@rootsweb.com > Subject: Re: [HANCOCK] Hancock DNA-Attn: Ron...James Clayton Hancock & > AmyReynolds > > > Thanks, Audrey, I knew I had heard those names before: I checked my old > files from our original DNA Website and here is what I have from the 3 > persons who tested from that line: > > Note: I would be interested in what County of Arkansas, is the town of > St. Joe.
