At this site we have genealogy (family history) for
Hancock
or Hancocke family from 1525. This Hancock family descended from Thomas
Hancock(e) who was born about 1525 in St. Mary Woolnot, London, London,
England. One of his descendants, a
William Hancock
came to America in 1619. He was a member of The Virginia Company Of
London which was created by King James I for the purpose of colonizing
in America. The first settlement was established at Jamestown in 1607.
As an investor in the Virginia Company, William traveled to Jamestown in
1619. He was a member of a group that founded Berkeley Hundred. On 22
March 1622 the settlement was attacked by Indians and William, along
with many others, was massacred. Shortly after 1630, three of William's
sons came to America. Augustine,
Simon
and William became prominent planters in Virginia and established a family
line that today includes many thousands of their descendants. From
Virginia, their descendants migrated throughout the southeastern and
midwestern states and today are living in all parts of the country.
Simon Hancock had a son named William, (this line had many Williams and
Simons) One ot this William Hancock line moved to Craven Co. North
Carolina and then on to Lowndes, Berrian, Colquit and Cook counties of
Georgia.

Mary Ann Monk, born 1748, and they had 10 children. Henry Parrish moved to
New Hanover County, NC., but whether before or after marriage cannot be
deternined. He served three years in the NC Continental Line for which he was
paid by the State of NC, and also granted bounty land there. Soon after the war
he moved to Wilkes County, GA, where he was granted 200 acres of land and also
in 1787 bought 92 acres more on the Ogeechee River, from a Benjamin Few ( the
signer of the Constitution ?) a few years after he moved to Bulloch County where
he lived until his death. His will dated June 23, 1800, was probated June 30,
1800, so he died between those dates. Executors of the will were his wife Mary
Ann, John Daughtrey and Jacob Mincy. The will gave his estate to his wife for
her lifetime, then to be divided between his 10 children. Note--- Mrs. Florrie
