Diary of Private Richard R. Hancock: Friday, December 20, 1861

Cousin Alfred Hancock, who was then and yet is (1886) a citizen of DeKalb County, Tennessee, paid us a visit.

A member of our company, J. E. J. Hawkins, who had been home on a visit, came with Cousin Alfred. The latter had a son (C. E.) in Allison's Company, who, on account of bad health, went home with his father a few days after.
