My Hancock's are from southwestern Va. Earliest ancestor is Obediah Hancock showing up in Wythe county 1840 census. His son, George Washington Hancock married Julia Wyrick in 1853 Wythe county,Va. George's son, Marcus Walker Hancock born 1855 is my great-grandfather. Walker had 7 children. His son, the sixth child,Andrew Ballard Hancock is my grandfather. Andrew died in the 1918 of the spanish flu. My mother the only child of Andrew and Edna Pauley Hancock. George's marriage to Julia is the preacher's return only, no parents listed. George Washington Hancock is listed as one of Obediah's children in Kegley's Lost Children of Wythe book. George is not listed in Obediah's family in the 1850 Wythe census. The 1840 census only list head of household, male/female and ages. George fits in the 1840 census and that fit is missing in the 1850 census where names are also provided. George and Julia show up in the 1860 Wythe census, along with my Marcus Walker Hancock now listed. Walker married a Mahaila ? who was born in 1860 Giles county,Va. Mahaila is my Andrew's mother, although her maiden name remains a mystery. Mahaila died in 1910 when in Va. there were no records recorded. All records only list her as Mahaila E. Andrew was born March 17,1897. Andrew married Edna Mae Pauley in Bristol, TN. March,1917. My mother was born April,1918. Edna and Andrew both died in Oct.,1918. My mother was raised by her maternal Pauley grandparents. So many Hancock questions.
