Since I am stuck, maybe I could help some of you with your lines. What exactly, for instance, are you trying to find with these six brothers? Joyce? You seem to have alot of info.

Joyce Nope Linda, mine are the six brothers that Celeste keeps talking about. And my stray Hooker John b. 1797 VA. is in Washington Co TN in 1830>Talledega Co. AL 1850>Pontotoc Co MS 1870. I have two Hooker lines. The main one from my g grandfather William Powell Hooker Jr who is grandson of George(one of the six brothers). Then my gr grandmother Susan Elizabeth McEachern (m. Wm Powell Hooker Jr.) Her mother was Mariah Hooker daughter of John b.1797 mentioned above. John ends up 4 families down from Wm Powell Hooker Sr in Pontotoc Co MS in 1870. He is next door to Esom Hooker in Washington Co TN in 1830 and Esom is in Patrick Co VA in 1840. Makes it all clear as mud, doesn't it. Joyce **************Start the year off right.

Celeste, I get the feeling that I am annoying you with my questions. If that is the case, I am sorry. Yes, I have made some advances in my line but do not know where my line comes from past a certain point. And as we all know, sources are one of the most important parts of our search and the "original source" of where we originate is the most important to most of us. I don't remember you ever telling me about that book. I have heard about it before and maybe it was you. I don't know. Back in November you said that in the past the list had discussed Joseph Hooker but that that was probably before I joined. But, I just get the feeling here that this list should be called the Southern Hooker Lines as that seems to be all that is discussed. I know there are some people on this list from Northern Hooker lines. Perhaps there needs to be a separate list for those from all other lines but the Southern which I am assuming is from Jamestown. I am not trying to cause any problems or arguments here. I just am looking for help on the "Hooker" list. If there were other "Hooker" lists I would be asking there also. Is there a way to search the archives for those discussions you said the list had on Joseph Hooker's line? Is there any way that we could do a poll or have members post as to whether their line is from the North or the South? It would be helpful to know. (yikes, sounds like the Civil War! LOL) Thank you.

Paul Hooker has posted on several on-line sites about his Granville Co., NC Hookers who went to SC then Smith Co.,TN. Many of the Bedford Co.,TN Hookers were from the line of Wm"I" Hooker (HYmerick?? or Hardy Hooker) from eastern NC, but those mostly went from NC straight to TN and did not go into SC -- but that corner of SC was one of those places that the border was not "set" early on and did change at times. Some people might have been b in areas that were later SC but were originally in NC. Our line of 6 brothers had one Hooker family in Bedford Co., TN - his name was David (R., I think ) Hooker. David was the son of John (b 1797 in TN) David was b c 1817 in Lincoln Co.,TN and ended up dying in Bedford So.,TN.

We now have proof that George Hooker from 1837 Washington Co. was the Father of Our Riley Hooker. George was from Mass. In Re: Hookers in IN. From Washington County, Probate Order Book, Vol. B ?on the motion of Nelson Butler he is discharged from the guardianship of Polly(Mary), Elizabeth and Riley Hooker, minors under the age of 21 years.? June 13, 1837. Settler, George Hooker b New Hampshire, entered Lawrence Co, IN 1820 and settled in Bono township. Land near corner of Lawrence, Washington and Orange. George Hooker?s family have been traced with ancestors and descendants ? no mention of Riley and his sisters. George later moved to Clay County.

Thomas in MA/CT was a Rev.; there were some other Revs in the line, but the Joseph who came later than Rev Thomas and claimed to be distantly related to Rev Thomas was the Joseph in that book, as I have stated several times. The story about the indenture is in that book!! I thought I had written that info about him coming over under indenture before, but it is all in that book. The book follows the line that goes west to Oregon - do not know if it tells all Joseph's descendants, but I do know there is lots done on-line on "fighting" Joe (Joseph Hoooker) which is also that line, I believe. I did see something on the VT Hookers the other day - if I see that again I will note where I saw it. Thought you had found/discovered a lot on your line recently??

Hi Celeste, I know you had emailed me before several times but I was told that the book A Man is a Man was about someone else. I didn't realize it was THE Joseph Hooker. I don't remember ever hearing about this indentured servant story. As I said, I had been told he was a Rev. also or said he was. Thanks for this info. Didn't General Joe Hooker come from Rev. Thomas' line? I know he didn't have children but I thought I saw him listed in an article about Rev. Thomas.

Thank you so much for that. Does anyone have any info on the Robert Hooker mentioned in this section?

I have never found out who that was, but of course our line of 6 brothers contains a Robert as does the Randolph Co., NC line. This is one of the names that ties those lines to Patrick Co., VA Hookers. Robert is not a typical Hooker given name. When this info was psoted before we tried to figure out who Robert was - does he relate to the Wm (b c 1755 in NC)/Gabriel line of Patrick co/.VA Hookers and does that line relate to the Samuel/Esom/John line (Charlotte's line). The name Esom does seem to connect the Wm (b c 1755) and married to Jerusha line of Stokes Co.,NC (Jesse's son James Esam Hooker b 1843) and the VA (b c 1796) Esom, probable son o fSAmuel and brother of John b c 1797 in VA.. Ask Darrell about that Robert as he is working in records from that area of VA right now. Celeste --- Jmw1431@aol.com wrote: > Thank you so much for that.

Onr thing about the Granville Co., NC Hookers - I think Paul Hooker has traced them to SC then to Smith Co.,TN and thus eventually to Hunt Co.,TX (I think maybe one or two did go into IL or IN, too.) I do not know if he connected them to Wm "I" or not, or if they might have dropped down into NC from an area of VA above Granville Co., NC. The line of Hookers who crossed back and forth over the Stokes Co., NC to Patrick Co.,VA seems to be connected to my/our line of the 6 Hooker brothers who were mostly b in NC from 1777 to 1787. The names are much alike, and, of course, Wm (b c 1755) had a descendant (g-son?) b 1843 named James ESAM Hooker - that connects with Charlotte's Esom name which is a quite unusual name. Esom (b c 1796 in VA) had a brother Joh, it seems (b c 1797 in VA) who was said to be a cousin to my/our lineof 6 brothers by oral family hist. If it is certain that Wm (b c 1755), who married Jerusha Lawson, died in 1824 then who is the Wm also b 1755 i(n NC) who is in Patrick Co., VA from 1820 - 1850?? In 1820 this Wm has a wife close to his same age who is gone by 1830?? I did not find him before 1820. He is remarried to a much younger woman in 1850 - does anyone know who this is?? This Wm is living next to Gabriel in 1830 and 40 - and very close to him in 1850 in Patrick Co.,VA. There is an older female in the household of that Ruth in 1820 in Stokes Co., NC - could that be Jerusha and could Ruth be under 45 (possible widow of one of Jerusha's sons) and Jerusha the female over 45?? Does Jerusha appear anywhere else between 1810, and that 1850 Stokes Co., NC census where she is living her daughter and son -in-law and next to one of her sons?? Not all the NC Hookers are directly/closely related to the line of Wm "I" - though I am sure they will all be ultimately related back in eastern VA in the early 1600s or back in Eng. Some seem to have come over into NC from western VA - presumably after moving across VA from the east to the west. We need those DNA tests!!!!

For some reason this did not post this morning--so am reposting. Please forgive if it finally posts twice. I imagine that "Ruth" is related in some way to William and Jerusha Lawson Hooker--probably a daughter in law. William and Jerusha Lawson Hooker had several children--one of then "David" is mentioned by name in a document. Back in 2006 (September) there was a very long thread about Patrick County Hookers and Jack's ancestors in Stokes CO, NC moving back and forth to Patrick CO, VA. Not that I have any new monumental info but I would like to add some stuff to that complicated thread: First: It is often said that the very early VA to NC line is pretty well documented. True--that is my line--but there are also many lost sons NOT documented. For instance what happened to "Symon"--an underaged child mentioned in his father Godphrey's Will of 1730? There are numerous others from Godphrey's son Benjamin I's lines. There are isolated Hookers like John, Sr. and Jr. living in Granville CO on the 1790 census. Were they 'sons" of the so called William I or William II lines. (I think so) We know that some of the lines went to GA, FL, MS, TN, TX, SC. But we don’t know all. Now here is some data found here, at the Archives and online (mostly for the benefit of Sheri and Jack. ( I, Sharon, believe that the Hookers of Stokes and the Hookers of Patrick, Henry, and early undivided Pittsylvania were probably the same family. They all lived on or near the Dan River and from Lawson family accounts and Hooker known accounts both families went back and forth. Note name similarities of Jerusha’s Lawsons to Hookers. I posted so much about the Lawson’s because at least twice they married a “Hooker” and lived in the same areas—though I have found no deeds with both names together. The Lawson mailing list is long and contains 100s of deeds. Carl of carl@lawson.net has some really good info including: “1800 Personal Property Tax Records Northern District Halifax County, Virginia May 16 - Lawson, John; 1 free white over 16, 1 horse May 17 - Lawson, Moses; 1 free white over 16, 1 horse This John Lawson died in 1813 in Stokes County but I do not find a John of this age in 1800 Stokes County census, which indicates he was still in Halifax County. Also in his will, all he had to give his family was a horse and bridle, which he gave to his daughter. Where was his land? The Revolutionary War pension records for his son, Moses, and his son-in-law, William Hooker, indicated that their two families lived in Surry County, North Carolina for many years, but moved to Halifax County, Virginia, where they lived for a number of years before moving back to Stokes County, North Carolina. It was also stated in William Hooker's pension papers that John Goober Pea had relatives in Halifax County. William Hooker married Jurusha ŒRessia¹ Lawson 25 June 1776 in Surry County, N. C. In Jurusha (Lawson) Hooker¹s Pension application, dated 2 May 1838, Stokes County, N.

His last tour was in the Summer of 1780 and served one year. Deposition of John Lawson Sr., for Jerusia (Lawson) Hooker's pension application (his sister) dated 2 May 1838, Stokes County, North Carolina. Be it known that on this 2nd day of May 1838 before me Charles Banner a Justice of the Peace for said County, personally appeared John Lawson Sen., a resident of said County who is a person of high standing for respectability and truth, a brother of the widow Jerusia Hooker who is about to make application for a pension for service rendered by her husband William Hooker, deceased, during the Revolutionary War, he being first sworn according to Laws declares on his Oath that a certain Minister of the Baptist Church, in the County aforesaid published the Bans agreeable the Rules and Customs of the Church, he married or Solemnized the Rites of Matrimony between William Hooker and his sister Jerusia, sometime in June 1776, the preacher's name was William Stephens and the said Hooker, the same summer was drafted and went as a private soldier in the expedition against the Cherokee Indians and went under a Capt.

I have asked this before, I think, with no answer. Does anyone have any info or know who the Joseph Hooker is who supposedly has a lineage of Hookers from CT...besides Rev. Thomas Hooker. This Joseph is supposed to be related to Rev. Hooker but came several years afterwards. Someone somewhere must have a descendancy chart or info on this man. Rev. Thomas Hooker's is everywhere and then those of you down South seem to mostly come from the Jamestown Hookers. I don't know who they are though. There has also been the belief that Daniel Hooker was a German and fought in the Revolution. Well, Daniel Hooker was born in Littleton, CT, moved to Brandon VT. His father was Jacob Hooker who was also born in New England. So there are either 3 or 4 Hooker main lines out there, it seems. Or perhaps Daniel's grandfather was a German. But I would really like to know who this Joseph Hooker is who came to CT around 1670ish? Can anyone help me? Thanks, Linda Lathrop nee Hooker

I imagine that "Ruth" is related in some way to William and Jerusha Lawson Hooker--probably a daughter in law. William and Jerusha Lawson Hooker had several children--one of then "David" is mentioned by name in a document. Back in 2006 (September) there was a very long thread about Patrick County Hookers and Jack's ancestors in Stokes CO, NC moving back and forth to Patrick CO, VA.

Not that I have any new monumental info but I would like to add some stuff to that complicated thread: First: It is often said that the very early VA to NC line is pretty well documented. True--that is my line--but there are also many lost sons NOT documented. For instance what happened to "Symon"--an underaged child mentioned in his father Godphrey's Will of 1730? There are numerous others from Godphrey's son Benjamin I's lines. There are isolated Hookers like John, Sr. and Jr. living in Granville CO on the 1790 census. Were they 'sons" of the so called William I or William II lines. (I think so) We know that some of the lines went to GA, FL, MS, TN, TX, SC. But we don’t know all. Now here is some data found here, at the Archives and online (mostly for the benefit of Sheri and Jack.

They all lived on or near the Dan River and from Lawson family accounts and Hooker known accounts both families went back and forth. Note name similarities of Jerusha’s Lawsons to Hookers.
