Hi Everybody - When entering information about old John D. [Hancock] in my genealogy program, I realized that all I seem to be able to find about his Rev. War service is that he served as a private, or maybe a Major. There are sources cited on the WWW.Hancock Project but it will be a while before I can check them out, so I was wondering if anybody has any definitive information? Has anybody actually pulled his service papers? I checked the mailing list archives because I thought maybe this had been discussed before, but I couldn't find anything. I don't even know if he was Militia or Continental? (thanks to Mel Gibson and The Patriot, I now know the difference :-) Thanks, Debbie in rather damp Ohio _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com
