From Joyce Rape Harrison:
Clement Hancock, Jr., probably born about 1785 in Warren Co. GA, and hiswife Temperance Jackson, had nine children. Of those nine, five were sonsand of the five sons, four served in the Army of the Confederate Statesof America during the War Between the States. Of those four who were inservice, two died. My [Joyce's] great-great-grandfather, Henry H.Hancock, died at the battle of Sharpsburg, MD in 1862. His youngerbrother, Little Berry Hancock, died in 1863 at the Battle of Gettysburg.A third brother, Wilborn, was wounded during the Battle of Vicksburg onJuly 4, 1863 and died in 1865, probably as a result of those wounds.
Clement Hancock Jr. died in Crawford County, GA, either late in 1849 orin January of 1849. His son, John C. Hancock, was named administrator ofhis father's estate, so evidently there is no will on record. (Source:Miscellaneous Estate Records of Crawford Co., GA, Vol. I, pages 64 and101.)
GA Census 1820, Putnam County, Capt John Pomlinsons District, roll 9,page 093:
Shows a Clement Hancock, free white male between 25 and 45 years of age;three free white females, one under 10 years old, two between 10 and 16,and one between 26 and 45 years old. Eight people are in agriculture.There are six male slaves (six under the age of 14, 3 between 14 and 26)and six female slaves ( 2 under the age of 14, 2 between 14 and 26, and 2between 25 and 45). This would seem to be the appropriate age for ClementJr. and his children, and the general vicinity expected to find them.

Records have not revealed Clement Hancock, Jr.'s exact time and place ofbirth. However, there is documented evidence to show that ClementHancock, Sr. and his wife Mary Renfroe Hancock were living in WarrenCounty, Georgia during the ten year period (1790-1800) when ClementHancock, Jr. was born.
Clement, Sr. and Mary Hancock moved into Wilkinson County, Georgiasometime after 1800 and along with son Joseph established themselvesthere. However, Clement, Jr. and his brothers William, Enoch and John,moved to Crawford County, Georgia where they were all included in the1830 census of that county.
The 1830 census shows Clement Hancock, Jr. and his wife, TemperanceJackson Hancock, with two sons and two daughters. The sons were Henry H.Hancock, born about 1820, and John Clark Hancock, born about 1825. Thedaughters were Rachael Hancock, born about 1821, and Mary Hancock bornabout 1823.
During the next ten years three more sons and two more daughters wereborn to Clement and Temperance. Little Berry Hancock was born about 1834;Wilborn in 1835, and Thomas Jackson Hancock in 1837. The daughters wereSarah Ann, born in 1833 and Martha Ellender, born in 1841.

Also lost was a grandson,John H. Hancock. A more complete record of the service of these Hancockmen can be found at A Family Tragedy - The WBTS.
Clement Hancock, Jr. preceded his sons in death by about twenty years. Hedied sometime between the 1840 census and 1842 at which time his widow,Temperance paid taxes on land he had owned and still in his name (101acres in Lot 233, 2nd District of Crawford county and a 50 acre gold lotin Cherokee Co). Clement's estate was not settled until 1848 at whichtime his widow Temperance and Benjamin Stripling applied for a marriagelicense in Crawford County, Georgia. Clement Hancock, Jr. and many of hisfamily, including perhaps his widow Temperance, are buried at the ClementHancock Cemetery located on the old homestead near Knoxville, Georgia inCrawford County.

Even as a child I wondered at the strangest of the name of mygrandfather, Little Berry Moody. The mystery of this nameâs origin wasonly recently solved for me through the research of Wm. O. (Bill) Moody.Its origin entails a poignant and tragic part of our familyâs history aswell as that of our nation's.
Clement Hancock, Jr. and Temperance Jackson Hancock of Crawford County,Georgia gave four of their five sons in defense of the Confederacy aswell as a grandson. At war's end there remained but one son & twograndsons to carry forth the Hancock name from Clement's family. Thus inour family was perpetuated the tragedy that befell so many Southernersduring this bloody conflict.
John C. Hancock was the only son to survive the war. He served with Co.F, 57th Regiment,Ga. Volunteer Infantry as did his brother Wilborn. Hesurrendered with the command of General Joseph E. Johnston in Greensboro,NC on April 26, 1865. He returned to Crawford Co., married but never hadchildren.
Henry H. Hancock and his younger brother, Thomas Jackson Hancock, joinedCompany C, 27th Regiment, Georgia Volunteer Infantry on September 10,1861. Henry fell in battle on September 17, 1862 at the Battle ofSharpsburg (Antietam), Maryland and Thomas Jackson became ill withpneumonia in December 1864 while with the Army of Virginia. He washospitalized in Richmond, died there on December 3, 1864 and is buried inHollywood Cemetery in Richmond.
Henry's son, John H. upon turning 19 entered the same unit as his father,Co. C, 27th Regiment, Georgia Volunteers. He joined on February 22, 1864as Henry H. Hancock, Jr. and was shown as "present" for duty as of April30, 1864, then there is no further record of him. Where he died and wherehe is buried remains unknown.
Wilborn Hancock, Co. F, 57th Regiment,Ga. Volunteer Infantry was woundedin the Battle of Vicksburg, Mississippi on July 4, 1863. Wilborn washospitalized in Mississippi and later moved to a hospital in Macon,Georgia. He never recovered from his injuries and died in 1865 and isburied in the Clement Hancock family cemetery.
Another son to give his life for the Cause was a 26 year-old. He enlistedas a private on March 1, 1862 in Americus, Georgia as a member of CompanyB - 11th Battalion, Georgia Artillery which was also known as the SumterFlying Artillery. On July 2, 1863 he was killed during the second day ofbattle at Gettysburg the greatest battle ever fought in the WesternHemisphere. Opposing a Union Army of 93,000 men, the Confederate force of75,000 men suffered 28,000 casualties. This loss at Gettysburg was onefrom which the Confederacy never recovered.
Rachael Hancock Grant and Sarah Hancock Scarborough, sisters of thismuch- loved brother whose resting place remains unknown, each sought tomemorialize him by passing through their progeny his name, Little Berry.My grandfather, uncle and cousin have been the honored recipients of thisname. Bearers today also include Donald Berry Moody and Daniel BerryMoody.
It is my hope that future generations will continue this tradition sothat this young man who did not live to have sons of his own to carryforth his name may be remembered and honored for his sacrifice.
