DR. 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." The te>
