THANK YOU FOR COMING IN. TO BEGIN WITH I AM STILL WORKING ON ALL OF THE INFORMATION THAT IS ON THE TREE. DON'T HOLD ME TO WHAT YOU FIND. I AM SURE THERE ARE MISTAKES IN IT. I AM SEARCHING FOR EVERYTHING THAT I NEED TO CORRECT EVERYTHING. IF YOU CAN HELP PLEASE DO.I STARTED MY RESERCH BECAUSE MY GRANDPARENTS NEEDED THE HANCOCK GENEALOGY. ONCE I GOT STARTED ON IT AND ASKING QUESTIONS, I DECIDED TO WRITE A BOOK ON THE HISTORY AND GENEALOGY OF EAST TENNESSEE AREA AND THE SMALL AREA TOWNS. THOSE ARE WHERE EVERYONE WAS PRETTY MUCH RAISED UP AT. THOSE TOWNS ARE KODAK, TUCKAHOE, HENRY CROSS ROADS, STRAWBERRY PLAINS.
THE NAMES THAT I AM WORKING ON AND COLLECTING INFORMATION ARE: HANCOCK, HANCOX, HANDCOCK, WISDOM,BROOKS, BROCK,EMMERT,MITCHELL, MILLER, WILLIAMS, ELLIS, CLARK, CLARKE, PALMER, ROBERTS, LANES, ANDERSON, WISDOM, HUFFAKERS, HILLARDS, STYLES, STILES, RUSSELL, WORTHY, SMITH, ELLIS, WILLIAMS. THERE ARE SO MANY MORE THAT I AM RESEARCHING.
I GOT VERY EXCITED ABOUT THE PAST HISTORY AROUND HERE. THE ELDERS THAT I TALK TO TELL GREAT STORIES. I DID NOT KNOW THAT THIS PART OF KNOX COUNTY WAS NORTH CAROLINA BEFORE TENNESSEE BECAME A STATE. I AM LOOKING FOR OLD STORIES AND PICTURES. I WANT OUR CHILDREN TO HAVE SOMETHING TO LOOK BACK ON. THE DAYS WHEN WE WERE LITTLE ARE GONE. HELP ME TO PRESERVE WHAT WE CAN.
PLEASE NOTIFY ME IF I CAN HELP YOU.
HAVE A GREAT DAY AND REMEMBER TO ALWAYS THINK POSITIVE AND HAVE FAITH THAT YOU CAN DO WHAT EVER YOU WANT TO DO.
THANK YOU,
PATRICIA HANCOCK MAPLES (PATTI)
