Subject: HANCOCK-McKASSON-DORSEY-SMITH-GRAVES
Seek information on any of the families herein mentioned:
William HANCOCK, s/o John A. & Lucy (SMITH) HANCOCK and gs/o (Capt.) John &
Nancy Ann (GRAVES) HANCOCK, b ca 1812; married 8 Dec 1833 Butler Co., OH to
Catherine McKASSON/McKESSEN. They went to Jackson Twp., Ripley Co., IN
where he appears in the 1840 Census. He wrote his will 30 July 1846 Ripley
Co., IN, and it was probated 20 Dec 1846 Ripley Co., IN. It is believed
that she with her children then returned to Butler Co., OH for Guardianship
Papers exist there for John M. (aka John A.) HANCOCK and Sarah HANCOCK in
1851.
Now, I have a marriage record also from Butler Co., OH dated 14 or 24 Dec
1846 for Mrs. Catharine HANCOCK to Sylvester DORSEY.
I also have an IGI marriage record for Catharine HANCOCK who married 21 Jul
1850 George M. SMITH.
Could she be the same person or two different Catharines? One family record
said a Catherine was the dau/o (Capt.) John & Nancy Ann (GRAVES) HANCOCK,
but I could not verify that in any other record.
Anyone every heard of any of these people?
