BIOGRAPHY
Mosiah Lyman Hancock was born on April 9, 1834 in Kirkland, Ohio.He was baptized on April 10, 1842 by John Taylor.
In about 1861, Mosiah was called to take part in the Cotton Mission. He arrived in southern Utah on May 17, 1862 with his family and belongings. He brought with him 150 fruit trees; he recorded that they all lived.
Mosiah's father, Levi, followed in about 1866. Levi and Mosiah were very close and Levi had depended a great deal on Mosiah. Mosiah was the only child (at least of Clarissa's family) to remain faithful to the church.
Mosiah died on January 14, 1907 in Safford, Arizona. He is buried in the Hubbard Cemetery in Thatcher, Graham County, Arizona.
