Ms Queries Forum Reply Here: http://genconnect.rootsweb.com/gc/USA/Ms/Franklin/10900 Surname: HANCOCK, SMITH, FREEMAN, McMANUS, TEMPLE, LEWIS ------------------------- I have that the parents of Robert Ellison HANCOCK as Dewitt H. HANCOCK (1872 - 1958) and Minerva Letha TEMPLE, who m. 8 Feb 1894 in Franklin Co., MS. Minerva's parents were Calvin Lawrence TEMPLE (1824 - 1895) and Sarah Adeline McMANUS (1834 - 1886), m. 13 Mar 1856 in Franklin Co., MS. Dewitt's parents were Ellison HANCOCK (abt 1829 - ) and Ageline FREEMAN ( - 30 Jan 1920 in MS). I do not have parents of Ellison HANCOCK; however, Angeline FREEMAN is d/o James A. FREEMAN Sr (1795 SC - 1862 Amite Co., MS) and Elizabeth SMITH (1793 - 1845) who married 10 Apr 1817 in Amite Co., MS. I'm interested in the family of Robert Ellison HANCOCK Sr and his wife Ruthie LEWIS, d/o Cornelius Byrd LEWIS and Julia Octavia LOFTON. This is a branch of my LEWIS family that descended from Elisha LEWIS (1760 Craven Co., NC - 22 Jul 1829 Lawrence Co., MS).
