Biography

Hannah (Unknown) Bancroft is a part of US Black heritage.

Hannah was born about 1817 in Massachusetts.

She was the mother of Civil War soldier John H. Bancroft of the 54th Massachusetts Volunteer Infantry - the first regiment in the United States made up entirely of enlisted men of color - who made the ultimate sacrifice for the freedom of all.

Residences

1850: Roxbury, Massachusetts with her husband, children and 70-year-old S. Giles

Census Race

1850: Black

Research Notes

S. Giles (Simas? Simon?) living with them in 1850 is the right age to be her father, so her maiden named might be Giles. Further research needed.
