Bill, my branch comes down from Samuel Hancock and Mildred Dawson; Dawson H. Hancock and Sarah "Sallie" Harris; William Dawson Hancock and Nancy Elizabeth Gollithan; Henry Edward Lee Hancock and Maggie Evelyn Neil; Howard Franklin Hancock and Mary Virginia Gentry, to me, Kathryn Neil Hancock. Actually, I think our branches were the same (Thomas, William, Simon, William) until this second William and we split there. My gggggg grandfather,Samuel, (son on the 2nd William) b. 1675, Lower Norfolk County, Virginia; d. 1733, Henrico County, Virginia and your relative, William Hancock, JR, b. 1674, Lower Norfolk County, Virginia; d. 1730, Bath County, Virginia, were brothers. Check your records and see If I'm right. That's what I have. Thanks! Kathryn
