Joanne: Archibald Griffin was my great-grandfather. His wife, Frances Adaline Hancock, was the daughter of Elbert Hancock (b. 1817) and Miranda Crawford Hancock, not Thornton & Eliza's daughter. This information is confirmed on Frances' death certificate. Frances was born Feb. 8, 1839 and died of a stroke in Polk Co. AR on Jan. 8, 1917. We have been unable to determine the identity of Elbert's parents, but strongly suspect that Thornton is his father because both left SC and were in Pickens Co. AL at the same time. Elbert and Miranda are on the 1850 census of Marshall Co. MS along with their daughter, Frances A. That is the last time Elbert is found. In 1860, Miranda is in Itawamba Co. along with Archibald and Frances (Hancock) Griffin and Thornton's other children. I have e-mail addresses of two other people researching Thornton Hancock but will send them to you privately.
