Hi Josie, *IF* all the dates you quote are correct, then I suspect you have two generations of of "Thomas HOOKER and Sarahs" here - or that Thomas married twice, and to a Sarah each time... 39 years of continuous child-bearing seems over-long - even if she started as early as the this-week-reported 11-year-old.

My connection is their child Zechariah Hooker's granddaughter Mary Anne hooker married William Butterfield in 1847. So if anyone can help with Thomas and Sarah back in the 1740's it would be great. thanks and regards Josie Australia Goolwa SA 5214 Phone: 08 8555 3887 Email: goolwatimejewellery@bigpond.com ==== BEDFORD Mailing List ==== Bedfordshire at Rootsweb http://www.rootsweb.com/~engbdf/
