Theda,
Here's what I found on the Hancock's in the US Census -
1860 - Jackson Twp, Monroe Co, IA
Hancock, William V age 33 b. IN, with wife & children & Sarah age 60, b KY.
1860 - Spencer, Owen Co, IN
Hancock, William age 60 b VA
Matilda age 61, b IN
William age 21 b IN
Andy J age 17 b IN
James age 14 b IN
1880 - Owen Co, IN
The above brothers - Wm & Andy next door to each other with families. Brother James in
house with Andy. I didn't find the father WM or mother Matilda in any 1880 record in
US.
Hope this helps,
--

Debbie -
I wish I had more information on William Hancock. I do know he was born in
Virginia in married there, that that he married Sarah Asher in Jefferson County,
KY. I can identify him in some of the census records by matching the ages of
the children, but that is all I can do. His son, William Vardenman Hancock,
moved to Iowa about 1850. Keeping track of all the William Hancocks really
gives me a headache. Thanks for replying to my query.
