Bob, The John D. Hancock that I was refering to was the Grandson of James Hancock, Jr, and "Jestern". His father was Durham Hancock. He was born in 1809, and died in 1870. This is much later than the John D. that you mention. Bill

I'm anxious to know if there are any participants in the DNA project who are from the James and Jestern line. : ) My descendant was a female. Bob wrote: >The John D.
