My Mother's Family (The Cornish)
My mother, June Hancock, was one-half Cornish. Her family consisted of Cornish miners. During my research I have learned that although Cornwall is part of England, the people of Cornwall, considered themselves to be a distinct people.

John Truran and Jane Moyle moved to Sutter Creek, California before 1858. They had three children. Isabella Clara Truran was the eldest daughter and my Great great grandmother.
