Noah, I know that my great grandfather was a Hancock due to an affair my gg grandmother had. My gg grandfather raised him as a Smothers. My great grandfather was Frank Smothers who married a Sarah Louisa Estis or Estes. Frank was born in 1857 and died in 1943. Sarah was born in 1859 and died from a fall in 1942. I know Frank's children were very religious and very superstitous. I was born without arms and have always used my feet. For a long time they thought I was cursed and would not allow any of their children to be around me. As time went by they came around and we all became very close. BTW: I am college educated, a counselor, a wife and a mother of two of the most beautiful children (all parts are there). Lindsay is 18 and about to start classes at Ole Miss. Colin is 12 and all boy. Jan Smothers Bryant Oxford, Mississippi
