Daniel HANCOCK is of another HANCOCK family other than those mentioned
below.
Harrison HANCOCK is of an unknown line at this time. The family of (Capt.)
John & Nancy Ann (GRAVES) HANCOCK, did have a Harrison HANCOCK, but of a
later time period. Anyone know anything about this Harrison HANCOCK.
Henry G. HANCOCK is Henry Graves HANCOCK, s/o (Capt.) John & Nancy Ann
(GRAVES) HANCOCK of Butler Co., OH.
John A. HANCOCK is John Adams HANCOCK, s/o (Capt.) John & Nancy Ann (GRAVES)
HANCOCK of Butler Co., OH. John A. & Lucy (SMITH) HANCOCK lived the
majority of their lives in Reily Twp., Butler Co., OH where they died. I
believe the above name is John A. HANCOCK (not John H.), as numerous
descendants and brothers and their descendants are found in Ripley and
Decatur Cos., IN.
Thomas HANCOCK, s/o John A. & Lucy (SMITH) HANCOCK, was born in Butler Co.,
OH where he married Butler Co., OH to his believed 1st wife, Emeline MISNER,
who died very early in their marriage after having believed son, Sylvender
HANCOCK b 1833. Thomas then went to Marion Co., IN where he married Mary
"Polly" AYERS/EGGERS/OYERS and they removed to Decatur Co., OH where they
remained the remainder of their lives. Ripley Co., IN & Decatur Co., IN are
side by side counties and Thomas appeared to have lived on the border.
HANCOCK & TUFTS Nothing is known of this partnership.
William HANCOCK, s/o John A. & Lucy (SMITH) HANCOCK, of Butler Co., OH,
married in Butler Co., OH to Catharine McKASSON, removed to Ripley Co., IN
where he died and where Catharine remarried to Sylvester DORSEY. William &
Catharine had two children: Sara HANCOCK & John A. HANCOCK
