Its been a long while since I sent a query regarding my Hancock ancestors, so perhaps there are some of you who have run across something that might help me. At present I am looking for information on the following William Hancock was born December 18, 1799, son of Jonathan and Catherine Young Hancock. He was a tanner and currier in Wilkesbarre as early as 1820. Later he moved to the borough of Luzerne where he lived until his death on Jan 7, 1859. He was commissioned as associate judge in Luzerne County courts Nov. 10, 1851. William was twice married: 1st to Laura Smith b Jan 12, 1800, m Feb 13, 1821, and d Nov. 4, 1846. Laura was the daughter of Obediah and Lucy Wright Smith. William and Laura are supposed to have had 6 children together. 2nd to Elizabeth Sill Denison b April 20, 1812, m Feb 15, 1848, d May 1855. She was the daughter of Lazarus and Elizabeth Carpenter Denison. William and Elizabeth are supposed to have had 3 children together. I am presently searching for the names of Williams children by both his wives, and any information that may be available on them. Any information or assistance would be most sincerely appreciated. Thanks, Maggie Hall
