Hi, Alicia, Yes, I gave you the address of the Mass. Archives at Columbia Point, Boston, MA. No, my Hancocks were in Middlesex and Worcester Co.'s in MA, but I have the CD for western Mass. issued by the NEHGS, and it lists Hancock's from Springfield. I prepard a couple of pdf extracts of the pages and sent them to someone on the list (short-term memory loss- I can't remember who), but I don't know if she was able to open them with her Adobe reader. I don't have the CD for Norfolk Co., as yet, otherwise I would look on that for "your" William. You might try entering his name on the form for the Patriot Index on the dar website: http://www.dar.org/ Bonnie
