THOMAS HANCOCK, IMMIGRANT An Interesting Sto.y of One of thi first Immigrants in the UpCountry. Jonesville, Nov. 27.?W hile s< much is being said ami writtei these days about immigrants, i reminds me that one of my grand Fathers. Dr. Thomas Hancock tfas perhaps the first immigrant t< this part of the country, and om among the first to come into Soutl Carolina. He was born in the :tiy of London, Kngland, on tin 10th day of April. 1761. He wai educated in London and then grad uatcd in medicine, and while ; coung man he came to America, ii 1793. landing at Charleston. S. C He came on a ship loaded with ne groes and he was the surgeon o the ship. The ship was castawa; and for six weeks they were 01 the deep blue sea without seeinj land. Their provisions gave ou and the whole crew came near per ishing for want of food. Severa of the negroes starved to death 1 1 e- i\ ! _i Ai -xi a11(1 granu-iainer saui 111c uuier ate them. He helped to eat tin negro flesh, and he also broiled hi boot legs and ate them, and the; were sweet to his taste. Grand father had a kind of shudder oc casionally in his shoulder to tin day of his death, and he said it \va caused by eating the human flesh Shortly after grand-father lande< in Charleston. Mr. Jack Littlejohn who lived near Grindal Shoals, a it was then called, was in Charles ton and he came up with the vounj English doctor and became at tached to him and brought th young doctor home with him; am it was in the Littlejohn and Dawk ins neighborhood, now Cheroke county, that grand-father foum his first American friends. Amoni them he located and practiced hi profession. There was ever after wards the most kindly feeling an closest friendship between the Lit tlejoluis and my grand-father an liis fainilv. At Asbury. where Mi Durhin Littlejohn now lives, i where grand-father settled and uj on that spot my sainted mothe was born; the place was ealle I lancocksville. after my grand father, who bought large tracts ? lands, several hundred acres. f<> one dollar per acre, and move down on l.rown's creek, five mile North of Cnion, where Kindle Harris now lives. There lie live until March. 1S45. when he <lie< lie had aeemnulated eonsiderahl properly and had established reputation as an eminent pliys eian and espeei: lly for the treat 111 ent of cancer and dropsy. Man patients from over the countr would go to his home and remai for weeks for treatemnt. and was seldom that he lost a patien Grand-father brought with hit from London twelve dozen chin plates of very fine figure, but s far as I know there is only or of the plates in existence and have it. 1 sent it to the Charles ton exposition a few years sine along with the exhibit of I'nio county, in charge of Mrs. 1?. ( Clifford, of Union, and it cam back safe and sound. Grand-father was of the ol English Presbyterian stock an his funeral was preached by Presbvterian minister, Thoma Hutchinson. Although I was onl six years old I can well remembc the occasion and also the preacl er's text: "Mark the perfect ma and behold the upright, for the en of that man is peace."
