William Strange
Spouse: Mary Ann Hance
Marriage 12 Feb 1844 Jefferson County, Tennessee
The marriage date for Mary Ann and William is in early 1844. But note that
when they reported the ages of the children in the 1950 census, the first
child is too old to fit. James is reported as 8 years old (thus born about
1842) and the second son John age 6, meaning he would have been born about
1844. Respective ages diminish in the 1860 census. It looks like the
enumerator just guessed, or the parents did, in the 1850 census. The 1850
ages are closer to objective reality.

It appears that Mary's wife William B Strange died about August 1890. In that
month she applied for a military pension in her own name based on her son
James C Strange's civil War military service. From 1884 such a pension had
been coming to them in William's name since he applied for it on 231 March
1884. I have not discovered any later record to inform us of Mary Ann's
death. There is no indication, however, that she moved away from the
Jefferson County, Tennessee home. No burial record for her has been found in
the area.

There are different individuals in various genealogies confused or mixed for
the last husband of Alice Miney Wilson. We know his name was Hancock, from
Alice's later records, such as Social Security reporting her as Alice Hancock,
and her burial order form, found on one of the genealogies.
Thanks to Ann Ragsdale for providing a death certificate and Obituary for
James Walter Hancock. Other than these I have not seen on any genealogy or
search any definitive documentation for the last husband of Alice Miney
Wilson, named Hancock. Several genealogies have him listed under the name of
James Walter Hancock, but attached no documentation of had documentation for
other individuals in various families named Hancock.
James Hancock enlisted in the US Army in 1894 in Ft Worth, Texas, and served
about 1.5 years. This record reports his birth place as Navarro County, Texas

An Oklahoma Death Certificate for James Walter Hancock in Holdenville places
him in the correct location for the residence of Alice Miney and related
Barnetts. A related short obituary mentions the only fact in public records,
other than the Holdenville location, that I have found to definitively tie him
to Alice Miney Wilson Middleton Barnett Hasty Hancock. The place of the
funeral matches that on the burial order form for Alice at her later death,
with funerals for both being announced in Harvest Time Tabernacle in
Holdenville, Oklahoma.

Hancock was also previously married two times. His first wife is given by a
couple of genealogies as Eliza Jane Blackwell. She died in 1904 after bearing
two children, Victor Lee and Emmett Thomas. Both are mentioned as survivors
in the obituary of James Walter Hancock in 1953, named as Lee and Emet [sic],
and Emmet is reported as the informant for his father's death certificate in
Holdenville, Oklahoma.
Genealogies report his second wife as Sarah Emaline White. She appears in
censuses as Emma (1910) and Sarah (1940).
The obituary cited above also seems to tie our James Walter Hancock to the
Hancock family in Arkansas, through the residence of one of his sons, Arthur
("Auther"). The census of 1910 in Ellis County, Texas, reports that James was
born in Arkansas. But other censuses report Texas as his state of birth.This
Arkansas family is referenced by some genealogies, and rules out other
extraneous families in other states that some other genealogies attach to this
James Walter Hancock. Note that this obit does not report a place or date of
birth.
Some genealogies report details of birth, death and marriage that seem to come
from family sources, but do not match the documentation records they attach.
Alice herself is well-documented in genealogies with photos and other
documents and personal information.
The Walter Hancock in the 1880 census referenced by some genealogies is thus
likely the wrong Hancock for the husband of Alice Miney Wilson Middleton
Barnett Hasty Hancock. At lest one genealogy has attached an 1880 census
record for a Hancock family with a son named Walter, who has a brother James.
Several genealogies have the name of Alice's wife as James Walter. But in
this census record Walter has a brother named James, so he is not James
Walter.
I have not been able to determine exactly when Alice married Walter Hancock
This makes me question Walter's parents, who are missing or vary among the
genealogies. His death certificate reports no name for either of his parents.
It does, however, report his birth place as Texas. There are several Hancocks
named James, James W, Walter or other variations in various Texas counties at
about the right time or age.
The census documentation attached to some genealogies for Walter as a child of
George and Julia Hancock in Tom Green County, Texas, is likely the wrong
family, since this Walter had a brother named James about 3 years older than
him.

A gravestone with no dates seems to be James' grave marker in Holdenville
Cemetery, Hughes, OCUnty, Oklahoma, where he was living when he died.
