There was a William Morris in Smith County but his wife was Dora and he had a brother named Albert. They did not have a son named Albert. This William was born 3/1876 and Albert 6/1880. I was not able to find Jeremiah C "Jerry" Hancock in the 1880 records. This is what the census records provide. Jeremiah C Hancock, b.6/1866, in Texas, father from AL, mother from GA had been married to Lula Hendry for 33 yrs in 1900. Lula had given birth to 6 children by 1900 with 5 surviving. Lula stated she was born in Texas, father TX and mother GA. In 1910 Lula stated that 4 additional children with total of 9 surviving.

Roscoe, b. abt 1906 Lewis Hancock had married Lucindy/Lucinda White about 1919 and were residing with her mother Rena White who was born abt 1855 in MO. Lucindy was born abt 1886 in TX her father was from AL. Lewis and Lucindy had Ruth Hancock b. abt 1909. Lewis second married a Nellie, b. abt 1897 in TX, parents from AL. Three additional children shown in 1920 were Ange?, b. abt 1915; Christine,..1917; Walter...1919. About 1923 Lewis third married Irene "Yatea", b. abt 1905 in IL, parents from IL. Lewis and Irene had Ellen...1924; Cristabel...1926; Louis/Lewis...1927; Carl...1929 and Virgil Roy...10/13/1935. Some of these children possibly still living. Walter O Hancock married Stella abt 1925 at the age of 30. Stella had previously been married to a BEENE and had a son A. George Beene, b. abt 1918. Walter and Stella had W Edwin, abt 1926; John D, abt 1928. Did not find a Lula HENDRY in the 1880 census records either. There was a Lula HENRY...b. abt 1872 who had a twin sister Mira. This Lula was in Atascosa County....parents David N, b. abt 1836 in TN and Nancy b. abt 1838 in TX. You can query the 1880 census through the LDS files at www.familysearch.org
