Notes

"Richard left Tennessee and bought land in Texas, made money ranching, and then went back to Tennessee, where he took care of his father, and eventually inherited the home place.
He was the first Hancock to come to Texas, with the rest following and settling on the land he had purchased."

"Richard Alexander Hancock married Ann Jeff Sneed. There is a correct report of Richard's and Ann Jeff Hancock's issues. Richard Alexander Hancock lived on Sycamore Creek until 1879. He bought a farm on Kennedy Creek some few years before he moved to it. The farm was in Wilson Co. when he bought it. It is attached to Cannon Co. now. Hally Bryan, daughter of Richard Alexander Hancock lives at the home place on Kennedy Creek. T. M. Bryan, Hally’s husband, died in 1938. Richard Alexander Hancock born Jan 17, 1827, died July 29, 1897.

"Richard Alexander Hancock was born Jan. 17, 1827, died July 29, 1897. Ann Jeff Sneed, wife of Richard Alexander Hancock, was born Jan. 29, 1835, died Jan. 2, 1908. He was tall and strongly built, fair complexion, blue eyed, and by way of misfortune neuralgia, busted or put out one of his eyes. He was of a kind, affectionate disposition and very pleasant to be in company with. He was discreet in his talk and spurned all ill mannered talk. He was a strong advocate of good school and churches and freely gave of his means to support such. He was affiliated with the Baptist Church. He was a rock ribbed Democrat. He was magistrate of the 10th Civil Dist. of Cannon Co. and was state representative of Wilson Co. He was neighborhood advisor and arbitrator when the occasion required it of him. The latch string of his door hung on the outside and within his breast the pulsations of a true heart throbbed for the interest and future welfare of humanity.

Richard Alexander Hancock married Anna Jeff Sneed, dau. of the venerable John Sneed of Kennedy Creek. Three sons and four daughters were the only children.
Delta, the oldest son born Jan. 23, 1859, died May 1880. Sad indeed. In the month of May 1880 I went to Mr. C. B. Summar's shop with my father. A storm came up and a heavy rain. When it ceased, or near that time, Quent Hancock came down the creek riding a mule in a fast run. He stopped at the shop and informed us that Delta had been accidentally shot by Morgan Bullard. I went with father & Horace Knight up there. We found him in a very critical condition. Jerry Collins was there also. The house was soon full of people. Dr. Everett was called. He said death would be the result.

DELTA

Remedies and the tender care of loving friends were of no avail for cure. He was wounded on Friday near 11 o’clock and died on Sunday evening 44 min. after 11 o'clock. I was helping fan him when he died. France Ellege & George Hancock was fanning him when father and I arrived. We relieved them for they were wearied. I looked upon that noble, rotund form that had so many times dangled me upon his knee. I looked upon that idol of a kind indulgent father and broken hearted mother as he swayed to and fro under the sting of deathly pangs. At last the fatal minute came. A gasp for breath, a twitch of the nerve, and Delta was no more."
