He is commonly said to have been born 1735 to 1742 depending on the source and to have died after 1820 in Greene Co TN or in 1849 Clay Co MO in the home of a son Benjamin.. In reality, he left Greene Co TN in 1820 and went to Mo with three of his sons. ( Again these sons are not posted or acknowledged by most Hancock researchers.)
