Hi Bettie, I just found "an" Eli Hancock in Indiana who puchased land from the Gov. It is on the GLO. I think it was in the 1830's or 40's. I was looking for a Levi and found this one this afternoon. Maybe you should take a look at it. If you can't find it let me know. I am sure someone could tell you how to bring up those land records. Ardath
