KARTCHNER CONNECTION:

Interestingly enough, Levi Ward Hancock's son Mosiah Lyman Hancock (son of wife Clarissa Reed) married Margaret McCleve, who ties in to my husband's side of the family. Margaret's father was John McCleve and her mother Nancy Jane McFerren.  Margaret's brother was Alexander Gilmore McCleve, and her niece was Emma Cecelia McCleave who married Byrtle Gale Kartchner.
