Ardath, Thanks for the information. I'm descended from Benjamin, Major, John W., William Lewis, Lewis T. and my g-grandmother, Josephine "Josie" Hancock in Webster County, Ky.. She married George Virgin and had my grandmother, Lucy Parolee who married John Brooks in Webster Co., Kentucky. Sue > Major Hancock married Ann Thomas, daughter of James Thomas. This Major Hancock was born in 1735. His 2nd wife was Mary Moreland. He died in Clay Co. MO. in 1839. > > Major Hancock born 1772 was a son of the above Major Hancock. This Major married Mary Page. He died in Hall GA. He is the one that seems to be very mixed up, as far as researchers go. He was born in VA, and married there but moved to Spartanburgh SC > > , and then to Hall County, GA. where he died and left a will. > > Many people have him mixed up with another Major Hancock who was the son of John D. Hancock. The son of John D. was born in 1770 and died 1840 in Wayne Co. KY. I believe he married Jane Parry Morrow. > > Major Hancock born in 1792 was the son of Benjamin Hancock and Nancy Corn. He married Elizabeth Fuson, and a month and half later left for Champaigne Co. OH. He was a well respected minister until his death. He also farmed to support his family. They > > were married in April and by the end of May, they started out for OH. He died there in 1879. > > I have had all of these Majors mixed up, so I can understand your confusion. If anyone on this list thinks I am still wrong, Please, write to me, and straighten me out! > > Ardath > > > ==== HANCOCK Mailing List ==== > Check out our HANCOCK Project World Wide at: > http://members.aol.com/heatherjvw/Hancock/
