Susan F. Pence1,2
F, b. August 19, 1831, d. March 11, 1884
Susan F. Pence was buried at Waugh Cemetery, New Castle, Craig Co., Virginia; Buried in an unmarked fenced grave next to Stephen Andrew Hancock.2,1 She dgibby45 - Children of Susan Pence and Stephen Hancock: According to some family sources, Susan Pence had 2 children by a Mr. Brown, 5 children by a Mr. Franklin, and one child by Stephen Andrew Hancock. Stephen had 4 children by his first wife, Sarah Ballard Craft (my great grand aunt, who along with one of the children, died in childbirth).
It is believed by some of these famly sources that after Stephen and Susan married, Stephen adopted all of Susan's children; however, I find that highlly doubtful for the following reasons:
Charges in criminal court by the Commonwealth of Va. against Stephen and Susan regarding martial status and parentage of the children, which were dropped after Stephen and Susan married.
Financial status of the family ( they were at one time being audited by the Overseers of the Poor), so it is doubtful that he could have afforded to formally adopt the children.
A Chancery Court Record from 1952 in which the petitioner, Theodore R. Craft (son of Florence Belle Franklin Hancock Craft-my grandmother, and daughter of Susan) asks the court to adjudicate the dispersal of the estate of his aunt, Ocie Ann Franklin Hancock Van Horn.
Included in the petition, T.R. Craft lists all of Ocie Ann's heirs, both of the "full-blood" and of the "half-blood". These heirs are Ocie Ann's neices and nephews and their descedents. Those listed as "full-blood" are the descendents of Laura Katherine Brown Hancock Elmore and Madora Brown Hancock Fisher, as well as Robert Watt Franklin Hancock. Otis Dillard Franklin Hancock, Florence Belle Franklin Hancock Craft, and Panola Mae Franklin Hancock Simpson. Although William Hamilton (Tom) Hancock was a "full-blooded sibling, he had no biological children, and his step-children were not included in the petition.
The heirs of the "half-blood" are descendents of Stephen's children by his first wife, Sarah Craft Hancock.
It would, appear, therefore, that the two children listed by the surname Brown and the 5 children listed by the surname "Franklin" were, in fact, "full-blooded" siblings, meaning that Stephen Hancock was most likely the biological father of all the children, and not there adoptive father. Unless more information becomes available, then the only way to prove this is through extensive DNA testing of the descendents of Susan and Stephen.3 She was born on August 19, 1831 at Mount Jackson, Shenandoah Co., Virginia.2,4 She married Stephen Andrew Hancock, son of Barnett Hancock, on July 7, 1873 at New Castle, Craig Co., Virginia; Susan listed no parents when she married Stephen.5,2,4 As of July 7, 1873,her married name was Hancock. Susan F. Pence died on March 11, 1884 at New Castle, Craig Co., Virginia, at age 52.2,4
