Old Hancock County Families

OLD HANCOCK COUNTY FAMILIES

by William Macbeth Pierce

This web site contains scanned images of the pages of Old Hancock County Families. From the Preface, we learn that it was originally published as a series of articles which appeared in The Ellsworth American in 1932-33. The articles, slightly revised and supplemented, were republished in 1933.

The book was not arranged alphabetically. Page numbers below refer to the page numbers in the original book. Some families were generously represented, while others only have a page or less. The book contained no index, so it will be necessary to read through the entire article about your family to determine if your ancestor is mentioned.

Each highlighted page number will take you to a scanned image of that page. You can download these JPEG images to your own computer by right-clicking on the image with your mouse, and then saving the images to a desired location in your computer.

Please check the "Errata" file at the bottom of the page, because Pierce corrected a number of errors in his work, and the corrections are listed here. The Errata page contains corrections for the following families:

Buck
Billings
Gott
Guptill
Herrick
Hinckley
Jellison
Jordan
Somes
Treworgy

(I will be adding pages to this list as I get them scanned. XAH)
