Sure would be great to have a male descendant of this family join the Hooker DNA project ;-) http://family-history.ca/hooker.html Merry Christmas to All! Joy

Thanks, I have a bit better idea about these people and will keep them in mind if I see anything about them/this line. Hopefully that trunk of papers will give you some ideas. It is good you found out about it before someone threw everything away - that happens a lot!! My ex husband's grandmother threw lots of things away as she thought no one wanted to know aobut her line - the Earps!!!

Is anyone on the Hooker list related to the famous bullwhacker, frontiersman and later newspaperman, William Francis Hooker? Born in Fond du lac, WI Our elderly cousin says we are related to him somehow. I have found alot of info on him online if anyone is interested. He was friends with Buffalo Bill, Custer, Teddy Roosevelt among other famous people. Died in 1938 in Florida where he retired. Linda L

Well, it was a well known fact and in many family trees online and all the genealogy sites that Jacob Hooker and Mary Farr were the parents of Daniel Hooker. And there were about 5 generations with the same names of these three in a row. The Jacob and Mary Farr that have been believed to be this Daniel Hooker's parents were born back in the 1600s which was too early for them to be the parents of my Daniel Hooker, born in Littleton, Mass, (who died fight in the Rev. War). So I did alot of research and found out that there were people with the same names every generation for at least 5. I found the couple that were born in the right time frame to be my Daniel's parents...born around 1720. I found online a copy of the Littleton, Mass birth records showing my Daniel being born at the right time with the right parents. Daniel moved to VT at some time, Brandon to be exact, and that was where he lived and died. The Stephen Hooker that I think is my ggggrandfather was born in Brandon, VT and married to Abigail Goss. They had two twin boys named William G. and Daniel G. that died as little toddlers and are buried in the Buffalo St. Cemetery which doesn't exist anymore. Buried with them was Daniel G. Hooker who died in 1817 amd born in 1750. I believe he was their grandfather since one of them was named after him. Stephen and Abigail had other children...another William G, a Stephen, a Sarah, a Luke and one or two more that I can't remember off the top of my head. They are in my tree. I believe the son Stephen is my gggrandfather. I don't know positively because there is no birth cert for him in VT. We had it checked. They said he was probably born at home and that there wasn't one. But looking at the time frames and going backwards into the past and with the same names being used (at least some of them) as my grandfathers cousins, etc. it just seems to fit. My brother and I are hoping to go back VT next Spring or Fall and see if maybe we can find church records or something for our Stephen. Also, our second cousin 1xremoved that my brother matched on DNA said his daughter in Maine has an old trunk full of family papers, photos, etc. No one has looked at it for ages apparently. She is now going through it and will be sending us copies of everything in it. So maybe we will find something about Stephen. We will be keeping our fingers crossed.

Hi Celeste, Yes, I have used the comparing of names of siblings, parents and grandparents. I have our tree tentatively figured out back to Jacob Hooker and Mary Farr, parents of Daniel Hooker who married Mary Gates. Now remember this Jacob Hooker and Mary Farr are NOT the ones that are in just about everyone's Trees. They were from the late 1600's and were too old to be Daniel's parents since he was born in 1750. His father, Jacob, was born in 1720. Some of the names that come up repeatedly down to my grandfather's family are Chester W., Mercy, William, Stephen (of course), Cornelia, Daniel, Edward, Graves, Gardner, Wadsworth, Abigail and more. They keep popping up the same. The 3 little children of Spicer Hooker, that died as toddlers, were buried with Stephen and Abigail (Goss) Hooker in Buffalo St. Cemetery in NY. It is now razed. I believe that Stephen Hooker Sr, is the father of my gggrandfather, Stephen G. Hooker. Spicer was, I believe, a cousin or nephew of Stephen Hooker Sr. A great number of Hookers are buried in the Cottage Cemetery in NY and those records are online. I think we are related to most of them in one way or another. What line are all these people from? I'm not sure but I think we fit somewhere in Rev. Thomas' line. I didn't see anything familiar in Joseph's line...at least what I saw of it. If I never find out what line we are from, that is ok. I'd like to know but just knowing from the DNA testing that we are Hookers is great!

Hi Linda H! To make a very long story short (my original posts are in the archives) my grandfather was a Hooker (Preston Nash Hooker) and he changed his name to James Preston Farrell when he was 21. He had been born in Chicago, IL but never went back and moved to Southern CA where he met my grandmother, married her and had 2 sons...one being my Dad. My grandpa never told anyone about what he did. When my brother decided to do our family genealogy years ago, he could never get anywhere with the names we had of our grandpa's father, George Graves Farrell. Well, I found a database online for IL that listed marriages and found my grandpa's mother's name, Nina Preston (he didn't change that) and it showed her marrying a George Graves Hooker. So that was the start. It took almost 7 months and we had gotten back to our ggggrandfather, Stephen G. Hooker, born in VT but moved to Chicago, IL in 1850. Have found several living relatives especially one, my Dad's cousin, who is 80 years old. He still has the name Hooker. I spoke with the people running the Hooker DNA test and they said my brother could take it because of the circumstances. We also had my Dad's cousin do the test and both tests matched perfectly on all 25 markers. So that is what I mean when I say, we finally know we are Hookers. Now we are trying to find out what line we are from. We know it is a NE one and not a Southern one. Thanks for asking. Your last initial is H. Is it for Hooker?

Have you found more records since Sept 2006? You sent some records into the list them about Wm and his move back and forth across the VA and NC lines along the Dan River. Since then we have found probable connections between the Hookers of Patrick Co.,VA and our line of 6 brothers (5 of whom were b between 1777 and 1783 in NC) This connection is through John (b c 1797 in VA) whosw father seems to be Samuel who is listed in Patrick Co.,VA in 1820 next door to his other probable son Esom (b c 1796 in VA). John's g-daughter later marries into our line in MS in the 1870s, and the family oral hist. states they were cousins. There now seems ot be a connection with Jesse J. Hooker (b c 1807) of VA and NC who named a son James Esam/Esom (b c 1841) James Esom had brothers John W and Samuel Henry. These families seem to all connect through Patrick Co.,VA and Stokes Co., NC. Recently I saw there were supposed to be records exisitng from early time from Patrick Co.,VA - these records seem to be in the VA State Archives. Have you ever tried to access the marriage records, etc., from Patrick Co.,VA in the Va State Archives??

Folks, I totally agree with Linda on this. The HOOKER surname DNA project needs additional participants. http://www.worldfamilies.net:80/surnames/h/hooker/ Researchers of this surname will find the DNA results very helpful with their brick wall lines. The results aren't going to actually *name* your elusive ancestor, but will show you which lines you genetically match or don't match, so you can concentrate your genealogical research in the right direction. FTDNA, the testing company associated with the Hooker surname DNA project, presently has a Holiday Gift Certificates promotion for new participants: http://www.worldfamilies.net/ This sure would be a great Christmas present!

You get a discount if you do it through the Hooker Project. It finalized it all for me and my brothers and we know positively that we are Hookers by blood now. Why not have a brother, father, uncle, male cousin who has the last name of Hooker take the test. Get a group from your family of the guys and have them done or you different families do it and find out if you are connected.
