Unfortunately, I cannot shed light on the identity of your ascendants, but perhaps I found a clue in your ancestor's military service record to where he spent his youth. Namely, Platte County. Let me elaborate. I looked up Green Hancock' military service record in the online Missouri Secretary of State's Office website (just plug that in with quotation marks around it in Google.com). The Missouri State Archives at the Secretary of State's building in Jefferson City seems to have several cards for Green, so the following is a combination of those. Private Green (nickname "Spruce") Hancock served in Captain W. H. Frazer's Company B of the 10th Cavalry Regiment (CSA). He enlisted 5 Aug 1862 in Vernon County (see paragraph below). Evidently Green served the rest of the war in this company and regiment because he surrendered at New Orleans 26 May 1865 and was paroled at Shreveport, LA on 7 June 1865. His residence is listed as Platte County, Missouri at the time of his surrender and parole (which leads me to suspect he was raised in Platte County, or that he was fearful his Bates County family would suffer if he stated his residence was in Bates County). You mentioned the family story that at the Battle of Pilot Knob Green pulled the wounded Billy Kemper off the field. I found two cards for a Private W. T. Kemper or William Kemper also of Company B (and Company A) of the 10th Missouri Cavalry Regiment of Major General John Sappington Marmaduke's Dviision. Kemper's home was Papinsville, of the southeast corner of Bates County, located very close to Pleasant Gap. If Green Hancock did assist a wounded Billy Kemper it must have worked, since Kemper survived to attend the 9th Reunion of Ex-Confederates in Kansas City in 1891 and also the 6th Annual Reunion of the U.C.V., Marmaduke Camp No. 615 at Butler, Bates County on 2 Aug 1902. The date and place of Green's enlistment tells me he enlisted during the lightning fast large-scale recruiting drive that several Confederate colonels orchestrated across southwest and west-central Missouri in August 1862 under pressure from pursuing Union cavalry. Note that this was hundreds of miles behind Union military lines. Under these circumstances, it is possible that the closest of these recruiting parties to where Green was living in August 1862 was in neighboring Vernon County. That is the extent of my ability to advise you about Green Hancock's military experience based on what I found. I cannot speak further about Green's Company B of the 10th Missouri Cavalry, because my specialty is guerrilla warfare in Missouri and someone more conversant about regular southern forces will have to tell you more about what the 10th accomplished. I hope that helps.

Obatala, in a Smithsonian article entitled, "The unlikely story of blacks who were loyal to Dixie," also warned African-Americans (including at the time 'National Urban League' director Vernon Jordan & public official Andrew Young), that "educated" Black families "with deep roots in the South, may conjure up to us the ghosts of martyred Union soldiers and runaway slaves. But in fact their historical ancestors might just have worn the butternut of the Old South rather than the blue of the Union Army." Many recent publications such as Ervin L. Jordan, Jr's, Black Confederates & Afro-Yankees has aptly demonstrated this point for Virginia for example. Perhaps some of those African-Americans who are currently 'offended' by 'Dixie Days,' would not be, if they traced their family history in detail. In fact, as is well known by now, there is no 'monolithic' Black or White community. Just as there are White Southernors who are proud of their 'Unionist' leanings or service during the Civil War, we also have many African-Americans who are proud of their 'Confederate' heritage or ancestry, be it Black or White, such as Bob Harrison, who serves as a re-enactor with the 37th Texas Cavalry, or Nelson W. Winbush of Ripley, Tennessee, who proudly displays a Confederate flag, whose grandfather served under Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest. There's also Lillie Harding Vertrees Odom, an African-American living in Gallatin, Tennessee, one of the last 'living daughters' of the Confederacy and a member of the UDC, who earlier this year turned 90 years of age, daughter of a white Kentucky Confederate soldier. As she wisely stated in an interview, "The white Vertrees never tried to hide my father and who he was and we didn't hide who we were. We were all tied by something that happened before we were born and nobody could change it, so why hide it?" When confronted by her African-American friends about being a member of the UDC, and asked why she would associate herself with a period, "when most blacks were chattel, without rights," Lillie replied: "I was raised to care about others whether they were black or white. That's not happening now. Folks don't realize you've go to have love in your heart. You've got to have it if you want to be happy in the end. I don't want to sit with the devil..." African-American H.K. Edgerton of Asheville, North Carolina, a strong supporter of the Confederate flag understands what Lillie Odom means, as do popular Black writers such as Walter E. Williams and Thomas Sowell. Former slave George L. Knox, considered to be the most prominent Black citizen in Indiana after the Civil War, understood this as well, as witnessed in his autobiography, Slave and Freeman. Perhaps however, the person who understood it most, was famed African-American, Booker Taliaferro Washington, a former Virginia slave and later educator of the Tuskegee Institute of Alabama. Recently Mike B., gave an example from the popular work, Confederates in the Attic, relative to a Black Southern pastor's opposition to Confederate monuments in his town, as symbols of oppression or racism. However, Booker T. Washington, on November 10, 1904, in a letter to Atlanta banker, E. H. Thornton, treasurer of the 'Gen. John B. Gordon Monument Fund,' stated: "Enclosed I send you my check for twenty-five dollars as a small subscription towards the erection of the monument in memory of the late Gen. John B. Gordon. Just before he died he visited the Tuskegee Institute and spoke in our chapel to our students and teachers, together with a large number of white and colored citizens...his instructive, tender and sympathetic words will remain for a long time one of the most precious memories of this institution. I am led to make this contribution further because General Gordon represented in a most perfect degree the cultivated, brave and unselfish Southern man who was not only interested in the white race but in the elevation of my own people. He was indeed a true type of the connecting link between the best class of Southern white people and the truest type of my own race, and I believe that in the future there will be many to emulate his example." (See, 'The Booker T. Washington Papers, Vol.8, p.128, The University of Illinois! Press., 1979, 2000). Lets hope all of us, can live up to Lillie Odom and Booker T. Washington's dream, and be proud of our 'heritage' and 'history,' and at least have respect for one another's views; a discourse hopefully based upon fact, rather than emotions derived from half-truths or misrepresentations, generated by a 'politically' motivated media or academia, as is regrettably, often the case.

Hello Thanks for the book info. I'll watch for it. I'm not familiar with Flat River area. Could you explain where that is, and a little about your Wood line? My Wood line in MO begins with John Claude (went by Claude) Wood, b. 1880, Bates Co, MO (my grandfather). He married Maude Blanche Hancock, daughter of the Green Theodore I have been posting quieries about. His dad, James Elbert Wood, b.1846, Athens, TN. James married Mary Bell/Belle Hancock-evidently a different Hancock line than my grandmother Maude Hancock Wood-as far as I have been able to determine. James' dad was John Wood, b. 1818 Washington Co, TN. This John Wood was a Union soldier during the civil war, was a prisoner at Cahaba, and was being transported back home on the Sultana steamboat. You can read about both these subjects online. The Sultana was transporting many of the prisioners being released, when it exploded. John was a survivor, having been rescued and treated for scalds. Gene E. Salecker wrote "Disaster on the Mississippi", if you're interested in a book on the subject, or you can go to Rootsweb Archives, and plug in Sultana, or disasters.

It was a very confusing time and records were not necessarily perfect. It's just that I haven't found a nephew by that name, but did find a son, so I'm just wondering.

GREEN T BLURB FOR POSTS I'm searching for ascendants of my grandmother, Maude Blanche HANCOCK who was born and married into the WOOD family in Bates Co, MO. I found her father, but I'm having trouble getting beyond her father, Green Theodore or Theodore Green HANCOCK b.abt 1846/47, Platte Co, MO, moved to Bates Co, MO around 10 or 11 years old, d.1934, Bates Co, MO. I understand that the Butler, MO courthouse was burned during the civil war, and records are few. He is in the later censuses, with part of his family. I found Green's birth in Platte Co, MO, with a Mosier HANCOCK as his father. No other place have I found Mosier. Checking rootsweb for Mosier gave me only "sound-alike" of Major. But I found no connection of a Major to Green, and found no connection of a Theodore to Green. Green's father was supposedly born in MO, and his father in turn, in TN. So I checked the censuses, and this is what I found: 1870 US Census: M T HANCOCK 50 (b. 1820) Male White B. MO State MO Co. Bates Location Pleasant Gap (This may be Mosier or Major Theodore Hancock, possible father of Green Theodore Hancock. Green T. was not in this list of children (Martha 19, John 17, Mary 15, David 11; Green would be about 23-24 at time of this Census). The birth date and place are good to be Green's father. Also, in family stories there is mention of Theodore as his father. A newspaper clipping mentions his father as being Maj. Theodore Hancock. Someone in the family said Green had been a confederate soldier during the civil war, and that he had "pulled" a wounded Billy Kemper off a battle field; that he had fought at the battle of Pilot Knob (also called battle of Ft. Davidson); and that his travels during that war led him all the way to Texas. I did find confirmation that he was in the confederate army during the civil war, having signed up in a county near Bates, MO. He married 1878, Bates Co, MO, a widow with two small children. Her name was Lucina/Lucinda Poindexter, b. 1847-1857-Bradley Co, TN, d. 1895, probably Bates Co, MO. I have also seen her listed as Louisa. She was a widow of William DeSpain, having married William 1873, in either Bradley Co, TN, or Webster Co, MO. (There are in the Fed. Censuses, several listings of a Theodore HANCOCK, b. Abt 1847, married to a Lucinda Mellon, living in MO. These are not the people I'm looking for.) My immediate questions are 1. Where did Green spend his youth; 2. who are his ascendants? I'm not sure where else to look. Any ideas? Thanks, J Wood __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!

Thanks Kathleen, You mentioned everything except how to post a query. I seem to have forgotten. Do I hit "reply" like this?

Dear List Members, If you are interested in knowing about other genealogical mailing list available, one of the very best inventories of genealogical mailing lists is John Fuller's Genealogy Resources on the Internet located at http://www.rootsweb.com/~jfuller/gen_mail.html If you ever need to unsubscribe from this list or any Rootsweb list all you need to do is visit Password Central located at http://passwordcentral.rootsweb.com/ Follow the instructions and you will received an e-mail of all lists you belong to and from it you can unsubscribe from the ones you want to. Always know that I will be more than happy to help you if you are having problems unsubscribing, you only need to ask. Please send this request to KathleenBurnett@earthlink.net not to the entire list. If you would like to visit the Archived messages of this list, go to http://archiver.rootsweb.com/ and type in the name of the list you would like to search and from there you can search by dates. If you are having problem and I do not answer you right away, know that I will. I like many of you work full time outside of my home. I am fortunate that I can check my e-mail any time I wish, but know that there are spaces of time I cannot. I always check my e-mail each and every evening and will respond to message as quickly as possible. There are a few items I would like to suggest for the benefit of each of us. 1. When sending a posting to the list it would help if you would put the subject of your posting in the subject line. Doing this also might give you a better chance to attract the attention of someone who has the information you are looking for or the attention of someone who is searching for the information you are posting. Many members are on many many lists and when they see a subject line that reads "My Ancestors" they just delete it. 2. When posting a query regarding a surname it would help all of us if you would put your surname in CAPS. This way the members can easily pick out the surnames you are looking for. On the other hand when the entire message is in CAPS we feel that we are being yelled at. 3. Please remember to delete the tags and un-needed words when you re-send a message to the list with your answer. If you don't check this, your responses can become quite large and may cause problems with some of our member's servers. This member who might not be able to receive your message because of its size, just might be your long lost second cousin with all the answers you are looking for. 5. Remember to keep your Virus protection up to date and never open any attached file unless you are 100% sure what it is and even then you are taking a chance. 6. Now, the hardest thing is when one of our own, a fellow member becomes upset about a posting from one from one of us. It is so hard not to jump in and add our two cents. I want you to know how much I appreciate it when you just let these posting go by and delete them. Know that I am behind the scenes taking care of the problem. If you ever have a concern that I might have missed a message that needs addressed you are welcome to contact me during the day at Kathleen.burnett@era.com or in the evenings at KathleenBurnett@earthlink.net. 7. If your list has the gateway open, meaning the messages posted on the board also hit he list, know that every once in a while a SPAM message that is caught by the Board filter slips through the gateway and hits the list before it can be stopped. JUST DELETE IT. By responding to the list regarding he offending message, you just continue it on, and there is not one thing I can do about it at that point. Please remember, so that this list is better for each of us, the posting of virus warnings, test messages, chain letters, political announcements, current events, items for sale, personal messages, flames, etc., in other words Spam is NOT ALLOWED and will be grounds for removal. Consideration for exceptions, contact me at KathleenBurnett@earthlink.net I want to thank each of you for your continued support of me and your willingness to help make this list the success it is. It is your list and is here for your benefit. If you have suggestions or comments you would like in future reports, you only need to send them to me.
