Jan, Here is what I have on Henry Graves Hancock and so some of the children listed in your e-mail is in conflict with the ones found in the 1850 Federal Census. I will send added info in a private e-mail to you. There is a Sarah, but she was born later. And the Sarah given in your e-mail would have been born before Sarah & Henry married (which of course could not have been, but unlikely since there is a later Sarah). I also do not see these listed in any census. 10. Hannah E. b 1839-1-24 and 11.Harriett M. b 1841-4-8 Audrey HENRY GRAVES HANCOCK Henry Graves Hancock, son of (Capt.) John Hancock & Nancy Ann Graves, was born 19 March 1796 in probably Woodford County or Franklin County, Kentucky. He and some of his siblings removed to Ohio with his parents eventually locating in Reily Township, Butler County. Here he apparently grew to manhood and on 23 May 1822 he married Sarah Ella Watson in Butler County, Ohio. Here they made their home until about 1835 when the family relocated to Jackson Township in Ripley County, Indiana. Other siblings also moved to Ripley County, Indiana as adults, as did nieces and nephews. They were the parents of eight children born in Ohio and three children born in Indiana. 1830 U.S. Federal Census Butler County Hanover Twp.
