Biography
Robert Smith Attachments 14 Feb 2020, 13:27 (2 days ago) to me
Hi, Keith…James Hancock III is from Craven County (Yep, that’s right!). He was a sailor, and during the war of 1812 he was at New Orleans (I found his “passport”)…he is a great-uncle of some degree of my wife. Rob…..I forgot to mention that he was a volunteer in the Choctaw Battalion during the Battle of New Orleans.
