By MARY MARSHALL ]

This is one OF the numerous sur
names derived. more or less directly
from the Away popular first name
John. Han and Hans appear as
contractions OF Johan or John in
Danish. Belgian. Swiss and other
northern languages. This accounts
for the frt syllable. Cock seems to
be used merely as a diminiuve and
appears in combination with other
usual first names, as Wilcock. or
wilcox and Hitchcock from Richard.
The Hanccocks we're early estab-
lished in Boston. Mass, and were
from earliest settlement among the
richest. as well as among the most
Intellectual OF families. John Han
cock was graduated from Harvard
college in 1889. The Rev. John Han
cock, his son. was graduated in 1719,
and Johns son John Hancock was
the famous patriot and signer OF the
Declaration OF Independence, who
was born in quincy, Mass, in 1897.
John Hancock was adopted by his
unclie Thomas Hancock. a merchTnt
and bookseller Of Boston, who was
reputed 20 be the richest man in
Boston. when Thomas died he left
money for the foundation. OF the
Hancock chair OF Hebrew and other
Oriental languages at Harvard, as
well as money to be spent for the
propagation of the gospel among the
Indians and money to the city OF
Boston for the establishment Of an
insane asylum. The remainder OF
his large fortune went to his son
John. John was graduated from
Harvard in 1854. He was governor
Of Massachusetts. president Of the
Continental Congress and ardent
patriot. He married Dorothy Quincy
