Jean- Thank you for the message on LEWIS Hancock. I agree with you on "Lewis Ross". I think that is not the name of the Lewis, s/o Benjamin and Nancy Corn Hancock but there was definitely a younger Lewis Ross. The will of Samuel in Wilson Co (Arvil's gx-gf) was awarded to "Samuel lewis" and this award led to "Samuel Lewis" becoming the name of Lewis, Major's son. (Nothing unusual here-- we could even invent another Major.) Everybody seems to have the same records but different interpetations. bobHop Visit our home page http://mx4.xoom.com/bhop1 Major family names- Abel, Adams, Anders, Bellisfield, Brock, Byers, Davis, Dement, Field, Guffey, Hancock, Hockaday, Hopkins, Irvine, McClanahan, Scarbrough, Shipley, Strother, Stonestreet, Wade, Wampler, Westlake
