Hancock Cemetery, 62-2 Summary Report, page 17

---

Cemetery. Accordingly, the grave most likely would have been emplaced in the Hancock Cemetery. Furthermore, if there was ever a Hancock family member buried either originally or by transfer to the Hancock Cemetery, and if that person had an inscribed tombstone, then that stone could be the only basis for ever calling this cemetery the Hancock Cemetery. In such a case, the Hancock family member would not necessarily have had to own or live very near to the cemetery. Hopefully, someday a detailed land record or other document will be found to mention the first uses of the cemetery. For now, that investigation remains pending for future research into all of the deed records and title abstracts for the area. By John P.
