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!!

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.
