Biography

Note: The Susannah Hancock, who married Andrew Griscom, was NOT from the Hancocks/Chambless families of Salem Co. as some believe.

Susannah was the daughter of John and Mary (Gurnell) Hancock of Evesham Township, Burlington Co. NJ. She married Andrew Griscom at the Chester Meeting in July of 1737.[1][2][3][4]

Her widowed mother had married George Matlack. Per Asa Matlack it was "a great wedding" on account of "the splendid entertainment.”[5].

See husband's profile.

Susannah was born in 1722. She passed away in 1750.

Hancock-7808 and Hancock-1 are not ready to be merged because: The two are not ready to be merged. Hancock-7808 appears to be a Salem County, NJ Hancock member and from my research our Hancock's were not from that location.

Hi Laurie,

I agree with your concern. I would recommend merging and using all the info from Hancock-1. There is no evidence of a Susannah Hancock from Salem Co at all from wills, marriages, church records, etc. I think the birth location was an error. With the married name of Griscom, this has to be the Burlington Susannah. This is just cleaning up an orphaned record.
