There's a Handcock on the list circa 1624.....just FYI, ~malinda Recently found this online list of High Sheriffs of the County and City of Londonderry from 1600-1750. Thought someone might find it interesting. Derry Sheriffs 1600-1750 Barbara Rumsey has written a book called "Colonial Boothbay, Mid-1600s to 1775". Section 2 of the book "covers the 1730 Scotch-Irish resettlement of Townsend, as Boothbay [Maine] was then called." Rumsey lists quite a few Scotch-Irish surnames which is always of particular interest. Rumsey is the Director of the Boothbay Historical Society and the book can be ordered direct through: Books, Tapes, Videos, CDs at the Historical Society. (No relationship, except a happy reader and descendant of several Scotch-Irish from that region). Carol Reed Kennedy
