African American or Black members of the Hancox family - WHERE ARE YOU?
Since my side of the family is African American, and most of the Hancox people that have been posting to the Hancox forum are white... perhaps it is possible that the late Hancox families that are white were slave owners(masters) during the times when slavery was still prominent.We as the black side of the Hancox family either adopted the name as an extension of the slave masters or there were offspring between the male and/or female slave masters and their slaves. (for those of you that don’t know... it did happen – in more ways than one).
Are there any black folk with the last name Hancox here other than myself on these forums?
If so, please make yourselves known to me.I’d like to talk to you!
Someone named Jani Hancox, posted about descendents of the Hancox familyin South Africa. When I read her posting the names of the family members were all white as well.Not to say that the family members are all white.When the Christian missionaries went to different parts of Africa teaching about the ways of Christianity and reading sermons out of the bible... it is possible then, that those names were given to the offspring of the family members from out of the bible (some of them anyway).Who knows – it is possible!Names like Henry, Joseph, Martin and Matthew are not African names.
Please don’t get me wrong, I am interested in learning about everyone or at least as much as possible about the Hancox family but I also want to know about the black or African American family members too.
This is not a racial trip.I just want to know others of the Hancox family like myself.
Sincerely,
Tisha Hancox
