T.M. Where is your paternal line from? Did you know that Day is a surname known among Saponi families? I don't know if Hancock might be a varient of Haithcock, which is one of the most common Saponi names. We passed over the Otter river on our way to the Monacan pow wow. Have you tried looking in the records of the criminal courts of the day to see if there was evidene of a trial?

Thanks for the offer for help with research. Sorry I didn't see you post earlier, I was distracted by all the ghosts in the adjacent thread.
