Karen, my Hancocks were in Patrick Co from 1805. I know they were there then because my GGGgrandfather married my GGGgrandmother then. His name was Absalom Hancock. I believe he was in Halifax Co, VA prior to that. Halifax is the only county that I have found so far that had the biblical names. Absalom named his son Peter Fleming Hancock. I believe he got those names from brothers and/or father in Halifax Co. There was also an Obediah there, I think. Was it yours? Wandra
