I found the marriage of John Hancock & Mary Elizabeth Witt on a FTM CD, Sec. IV, Ch. 42. It gives the date of their marriage as 9 Feb. 1804 in Patrick Co. VA. I believe they stayed in VA. John was the son of Benjamin Hancock and Nancy Corn. I also have the following children of John and Mary Elizabeth Hancock: Lewis D. 1812 Benjamin 1814 Martha S. 1816 Charles abt. 1817 John Witt 20 Oct 1818 Peter G. 1820 Is anyone on the list researching this family, and can confirm this is correct?

The more I read of this line, the more I wonder if mine might connect, as the given names in my line keep showing up in this one. Is there a Jonathan Hancock in this line born June 23, 1765-1769? This one was supposedly born in Maryland, but no researcher has ever been able to find a trace of him there. It would appear that there was some sort of rift in the family, and this Jonathan did not want to associate with the rest of the family. I am beginning to wonder if he just picked Maryland out of the air as his birthplace, and was really born somewhere else, so no one would ever know who his parents and siblings were. Any thoughts and comments from all you super sleuths are welcome.
