List Readers, I have had three e-mails today about the note I posted on the featured photo. That proms me to tell you this family story. When I was about ten or twelve years old, I spent the night at the Jess Corn family household and while at dinner that night, around a large oak table, Jess Corn engaged the family with a few stories. He asked me about my family and I told him about what my grandmother had told me about the Hancock family. That one little word started the conversation that lasted for over an hour. Jess told me and all at the table about how his great great or great great great [can't remember which] grandfather John Hancock helped write the Declaration of the Independence. He told how the Corn family moved from Virginia to Franklin Co., TN. So I went home and told my grandmother about the story and she said - oh, my goodness, our Hancock family lived in Wayne Co., KY, it was our Berryhill bunch that lived in Winchester. He must be confused. Then she added - but my Grandpa Hancock said that his Grandpa Benjamin Hancock was a brother to John Hancock who helped write the Declaration. I sure would like to talk to him, she said. But of course, she didn't. Then, a few years passed and my grandmother became a widow. So she then hired Elsie, Jess' youngest daughter to come and spend nights with my her. That is when she figured out that the Corn story was accurate. She then told me that John Hancock's daughter, Nancy who had married into the Corn family and had moved to Winchester, TN, and that the story they told was the same story her grandpa told - the same story that he wrote about in his diary. Her grandpa went to Wayne Co., KY, so those two legs of the tree had no communication or any way to share the story - but almost two hundred years later tell the same story. Then sometime after that - I found another leg that had the story. I noticed in a Wilson Co., TN, Goodspeed that the same John Hancock story was told in print. Gee, now we have three legs of the story telling the same story. It is amazing because the story matches. I think this is the most awesome family story that I have ever heard passed down by mouth - a story that didn't change - that remained accurate even though it was told over and over. I wish I could go back in time and hear Jess Corn tell it one more time. If I could - then I'd record it and send it to the people who cobbled up World Connect with information that is impossible to document. I did see that one researcher told the story and had it right. Ah-hh, one out of twenty isn't too bad. Hope you enjoyed my Sunday entertainment and maybe I even took the bumpy ride out of your Sunday. Donna Cooper

And to add another question to the mix:  Does anyone know why Franklin co., TN was chosen as a relocation spot for many families in VA?

Good Morning, from the old house project and slave quarters of Donna Cooper. Our featured photo for the week is of the Akin family. Amy LeWarne shared it with us. She doesn't have a lineup for the boys. I am hoping that someone out there can tell her which boy is which. Thanks, Amy. http://www.rootsweb.ancestry.com/~mobarry/oddsnends/bryfams.htm The Akin family descends from Rev. G. B. and Mary Minerva (Burris) Hancock, [ my g. g. grandparents]. Amy is also a descendant of G.B.Hancock. G. B. had a brother at Newtonia who was a dentist named Martin Luther Hancock. To the Hancock family researchers we had DNA done to prove our line back to Virginia. Our Benjamin Hancock, Sr. was a brother to John D. Hancock of Goochland Co., Virginia. Goodspeed of Wilson Co., TN, the Barry County Corn family and G. B. Hancock's diary all report that he helped write the Declaration of Independence. I think that they lived near the Jefferson family. The Corn family of Seligman descends from John D. Hancock. Joel Chitwood family of Wheaton was married to Nancy Hancock. Nancy was a daughter of John D. and Elizabeth (Maddox) Hancock. The Littleberry Mason family of Cassville might have a connection to them too, I think. Some of their descendants will know more about that probably. Benjamin Hancock Sr.'s sister, Judith was married to Richard Wade.I don't know if they are related to the Barry County Wades or not. I never checked in on that. John D. and Benjamin's parents were Benjamin and Jane (Armager) Hancock. I am not sure about the spelling of Jane's name. DNA proves that the Wiley family buried in Marrs Hill is connected, too. They come down through John Hancock born 1743 with descendants of Guilford Co., NC. Odd that some of them are buried in the same cemetery as our G. B. is. The William Hancock who was killed at Bacon's Rebellion was the grandfather of our ancestor according to DNA. >From another researcher - William Hancock was hired by King James the 1st, to settle the town of New Bern in the new colonies. He was Staying at Thorpes house, when the area Indians massacred the whole settlement. His older son William came to take over the business, but died soon after going there, and that is when Simon Hancock, his son, came to the United States. This Hancock family descends from Thomas Hancock(e) who was born about 1525 in St. Mary Woolnot, London, London, England. One of his descendants, a William Hancock came to America in 1619. He was a member of The Virginia Company Of London which was created by King James I for the purpose of colonizing in America. The first settlement was established at Jamestown in 1607. As an investor in the Virginia Company, William traveled to Jamestown in 1619. He was a member of a group that founded Berkeley Hundred. On 22 March 1622 the settlement was attacked by Indians and William, along with many others, was massacred. Shortly after 1630, three of William's sons came to America. Augustine, Simon and William became prominent planters in Virginia and established families there that today include several thousand descendants. From Virginia, their descendants migrated throughout the southeastern and Midwestern states and today are living in all parts of the country. William Hancock's son John Hancock born 1670 and died 1732 in Surry, VA, married Jane Holt, daughter of Major Randall Holt and Elizabeth Hansford Wilson. John and Jane had William born about 1700, John 1702, Joseph 1704, Elizabeth 1706, Mary 1708, Duejates 1710 and Martha 1712. Oh, and before I go away - Judith who married William Clark - of the famed Lewis and Clark pair is a distant relative to the line, too.

This article reminded me of the cemetery project underway in Barry County and I thought I'd share. Most all of us probably have a relative or know of someone buried here. Troops Photograph Every Arlington Grave "Night after night this summer, troops from the Army's historic Old Guard have left their immaculately pressed dress blues, white gloves and shiny black boots at home to slip into Arlington National Cemetery in T-shirts and flip-flops to photograph each and every grave with an iPhone. Military officials hope they can eventually use the photos to create an online database for the public. Four million people annually visit the cemetery..."

Didn't a tornado/cyclone touch down in Corsicana in the forties?

>From Goodspeed's 1888 History of Barry County: The county court was petitioned in January 1870 by John B. Fly & George F. Perry. to change the name from Gadfly to Corsicana.   Nancy Wickam   From: Betty Lamberson <betquilts@leru.net> To: Donna Cooper <donnac58@yahoo.com>; mobarry@rootsweb.com Sent: Thursday, August 25, 2011 3:57 PM Subject: Re: [MOBARRY] Info about Corsicana, MO Well, I am going to try,  I am a lifelong resident of the area, (70 plus years) I currently live less than 1 mile south of Corsicana, MO Which is now a Ghost town, There are mostly poultry houses located there. I have asked that question many times.  I do not believe there is an easy answer? Some of the known facts are : The  town was originally called Gadfly after an early settler named Jasper Fly who owned a General Store, located on the banks of Joy's creek (also named after an early resident.) on this creek sprang up a village and at one time had two mills owned by Lorenzo  Jackson Blankenship family. a flour/ feed mill and a carding mill.  (Lorenzo's oldest daughter was born there in 1851). Most of the families who settled near Gadfly came from VA most likely about the late 1830's - 1840's At the time just before the Civil war they had a PO called Gadfly. Due to the mills, Gadfly was the victim of more than one civil war skirmish.  Even though the residents tried to remain neutral and even wrote up articles of neutrality.  It is my understanding that the PO was abandoned during the Civil War. In 1869 after the war the PO was named Corsicana.  About that time several immigrants from France and Italy came to Barry County and Settled south of Monett and even nearer Gadfly.  I have suspected the new name was named by one of those Italian/ French families in honor of their homeland? The Swindle family was a prominent family in Gadfly and owned land  from Joy's creek south to Pogue's creek.  One of the Swindle sons was educated and started a subscription school  for older students prepatory for teachers, nearby which was called Swindle College.

We tried very hard to come up with more History about Corsicana while compiling the Wheaton Echoes Book,  As most of the children around Corsicana went to school in Wheaton.

Regarding Planchons and Narrells, Lena M. Narrell b. 1915 -1958 and Joe W. Narrell b. 1914- 1958 are buried in Muncie Chapel There are other Narrells there also. I believe the O in Norrell is a typo? Guy Planchon was a son of Paul William Planchon and Madeline Louise Bouvier. Guy was one of 6 children. His Grandparents Catherine Courdin b. 1844 maried John Pierre Planchon and they were some of the early Planchons who imigrated from Italy and France border land during the Crimean War. They went first to Uruguay and about 1870 came on the the United states with the Waldensian Community and settled south of Monett. They lived around Wheaton and Rocky Comfort Mo as Katherine Planchon graduated from Rocky High School in the late 1940's. If I were looking for buriel places of Planchons and Courdins I would certainly look in the Waldensian Cemetery near Monett The Wheaton Echoes Book has a picture of the Narrell family on page 553, a picture of Guy Planchon on page 500 and a picture of Katherine and Guy Planchon (father and Daughter) on page along with some history on page 393. also on page 32 is the Wheaton City 1920 census and it lists two Planchon families both of which were born in South America and parents in Italy Betty Lamberson ----- Original Message ----- From: "Donna Cooper" <donnac58@yahoo.com> To: "Jim Staley" <jstaley2@earthlink.net> Cc: <mobarry@rootsweb.com> Sent: Wednesday, August 24, 2011 10:50 AM Subject: Re: [MOBARRY] Guy John Planchon Hi, thanks, but if you have notes for our cemetery files then you need to put them in the cemetery temporary folder - so that I can post the pertinent details correctly. I don't post from e-mail messages anymore. It is too hard to keep up with all of the information like that. I see some information that the list readers might help with so I am sending this message on to the list mail folks. Some of them might be able to add to your data.
