Was Richard Hancock's middle name Ramsey? He was born 16 Apr. 1783 in either Fluvanna or Patrick Co. Can anyone tell me which it was? He died in Wilson Co. in either KY. or TN. which? He married Mary (Polly) Adams. She was the daughter of Jacob Adams and Mary Cooper born in MD, on 12 May 1773. Mary & Richard were supposed to have had 2 sons and 1 daughter, does anyone know their names or dates of birth etc. Polly Adams & Richard Hancock were married 10 Nov. 1806 in Wilson Co. TN. Mary (Polly) Adams according to info that I have, was married before to Christoper Cooper. This could have been a cousin - no proof. A brother of Richard's, Lewis Hancock also came to TN. possibly with his brother Richard, and married Frances Adams in 1812, also in Wilson Co. TN. Was Frances a sister to Polly? These 2 Hancocks were sons of Benjamin Hancock and Nancy Corn. She died in IN.(1816) while visiting a son and Benjamin died on his way to visit his son's in TN. He left 6 children as orphans. They were wards of an older brother Lewis Hancock, and his wife Frances. Is there anyone who can correct, answer the questions or shed more light on this family? Ardath
