There are descendants of Jonathan Hancock still in the Newton and Jasper Co area. Could you send me the details and let me try to contact one and see where it leads. Patricia

In regard to the two messages copied below; were these HANCOCKs (William, Jonathan) living in GEORGIA? I have been chasing my HANCOCK line for several years and haven't yet found a connection with other Hancocks so far. I was just hoping to glean some information and make a connection here if they were from Georgia. Thomasville is a town in Georgia and also there are Newton and Jasper Counties here where I live and very near where my known HANCOCK line was living 1820-1924. From there they moved to Griffin GA, Spalding County where most of my line ended. There is one son from the direct line, William C. Hancock still living in FL that I am aware of. Can we make a connection?

Do you know of any males with the Hancock name?

Yes, but, unless they are genealogy researchers, they may not understand the importance of the DNA testing or want to spend the money. As you know, it requires a male of the surname of Hancock. A match with another Hancock participant proves that they are from the same line, so the desire is to match with someone who has proven their line way back. We have 18 participants to date, so the chances for matches is getting better and better, We have many matches, and have identified four separate lines at this time. The cost is $99.00 for the 12 marker test and $169.00 for the 25 marker test. Let me know if there are more questions.
