The records of the marriages of all the children of Benjamin Hanks are found in the Plymouth County books, with the exception of that of the third child, William. Ac- cording to the statements and tra- ditions of the various members of the family in both the Northern and Southern States, it seems that William early left the old home and embarked on one of the many vessels then sailing between Massachusetts and Virginia. They also say he settled in Vir- ginia, near the mouth of the Rap- 20 Nancy... Hanks 21 pahannock River, where his sons Abraham, Richard, James. John, and Joseph were born. The New England custom house records have unfortunately been destroyed '' to make room for papers of more recent date," as one of the officers said, so that we have not the name of the ship on which William sailed to Virginia. All of his children, with the exception of John, moved to Amelia County, Va., where they bought large plantations near each other. The youngest son, Joseph, must have moved to Amelia County with the rest about T740.
