My Hancock's that I've been able to trace so far lived in southwestern Va. They came from the Halifax area possible from KY prior. My grandfather, Andrew Ballard Hancock was born in 1895,Bland County,VA. His father, Marcus Walker Hancock was born 1855 Wythe County,Va. Walker's father was George Washington Hancock born in 1833 Cabell,VA.(part of present WVA.)according to his civil war pension application. George's father isn't proven. According to Kegley's Lost children book, George's father was Obediah Hancock. George married Julia Ann Wyrick January,1853. The marriage record is the preacher's return only with parents not listed. No surety is listed prior. George is not listed in the 1850 Wythe census with Obediah's family,the first census listing names other than head of household. George would fit in Obediah's household in the 1840 Wythe census. Does anyone know about Obediah Hancock? Many of the residents of Wythe migrated to Indiana during this time. Are there any Southwestern Va.
