Samuel H. Hancock was born in Pennsylvania in 1829. The family moved to Michigan and then to Minnesota. He joined the 2nd U.S. Sharp Shooters in 1861, and later was transferred to a battery in the artillery at Fort Hamilton in New York.
Not much is known of his life after the Civil War. He apparently left his first wife, Elvira, and some children, in Minnesota. By 1900 he is in Texas, and in 1904 married a Mrs. Susan Brown while residing in Waurika, Oklahoma.
