There is no “Benjamin Hancock Cemetary “. Benjamin died on his way with his younger children to Watertown, Tennessee to live with his older sons. He was buried on the roadside a few miles from Lebanon, Tennessee. I noticed the bio of his wife stated she was buried in this “Cemetary”. My 95 year old uncle ( he has passed) when he was a teenager knew where he was buried on the road side but this is now lost to the ages now.

This couple are my fourth great grandparents and Benjamin Hancock is my DAR Patriot.

Hancock-5239 and Hancock-1656 appear to represent the same person because: they share a similar birth year and a similar spouse, Nancy (Anna) Corn, who appears will soon be merged.
