There is a John L Hancock born 1770s probably in VA (or on the VA/NC border) that is a son of Benjamin 1740 and Sarah Lane. This John L was in Cumberland Co KY before 1800 and then disappeared. (He may have died or simply moved on by 1815.) John L Hancock and Tabitha Ballew married on 19 Jul 1806 in Wayne Co, Ky. Benjamin 1740 may be a son of Benjamin 1710 but this has not been proved.
