Hi, Alan & Gladys, I'm sorry but I don't know anyone who has this problem. This is the first time that I have heard of such a disorder. Gladys is descended from Thomas Graves Hancock, Sr. & his first wife, Jemima Hayden, via James Hancock the son mentioned below in Glady's e-mail. Thus (Capt.) John Hancock & Nancy Ann Graves of VA, KY, & Butler Co., OH were ancestral grandparents of both Gladys and my hubby. My hubby descends from brother, John A. Hancock, and Gladys descends from Thomas Graves Hancock.
