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.

Henry
Parrish, the Revolutionary War ancestor of the Parrishes of South Georgia
and Florida, was born in Spotsylvania, VA., about 1740, a son of Joel Parrish
who died there testate in 1791. Henry Parrish, about1770 married 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 Hendry of Adel, was
the first descendant of Henry Parrish to become a member of the Daughters
of theAmerican Revolution on the record of his service; she became a member
in1949, and is a member of the John Floyd Chapter, and her National Numberis

administrator of their father's estate in Bulloch County, November 10,
1808. William Monk married Jerushia Parrish, born 1773, sister of Henry
Parrish, Sr. William Monk was a Revolutionary soldier and served as a private

unmarried children moved to Lowndes County, also others of the family connection.
She is shown in the 1830 Census of Lowndes as the head of a family consisting
of self, three sons and two daughters. In 1850 she was living with her
