Does anyone know where online I can find a list of this "other" documented line of Hooker in New England? I have googled and searched ship's logs from back in the 1600's and can't find him. Please someone help me out here. Our DNA results came back today and my brother's results matched the second cousin we had discovered who is a Hooker. So we are also definitely Hookers. Now if I can find out two things: 1. What line we are from. 2. Who is Stephen G. Hooker's parents? Are they Stephen Hooker b. 1787 and 1789 respectively.

Yes, the CT Hooker line was documented in a 1909 book by a very thorough Hooker descendant, Cmdr. Edward Hooker. A fairly easy way to tell if you're likely to have come from that line is to trace back to the Rev War, if possible, then take a look at the names of the "Founding Families" of Hartford. If you have ancestors with a preponderance of those surnames at that point in time, then you're probably from the CT line. It's not scientific, but it's a pretty good gauge. They were a very tight lot--didn't marry out of the group much at all, even after they migrated to VT, etc. Maureen -----Original Message----- From: hooker-bounces@rootsweb.com [mailto:hooker-bounces@rootsweb.com] On Behalf Of Adella Holly Sent: Tuesday, November 27, 2007 8:44 PM To: hooker@rootsweb.com Subject: Re: [HOOKER] Atten Linda L. and Maureen I found an e-mail from you about the finding the century that someone is connected.

Hi Adella, First, yes, I have my brother's DNA results listed through FamilyTreeDNA at worldfamilies.net/surnames/h/hooker/ in the Hooker DNA Project. He doesn't match any of them. But they all seem to be Southern Hookers. I think we may be another line but am still trying to figure that out. We are also waiting for our second cousin's results to come in to see if we match for sure with him. The haplogroup that my brother's DNA came up under is J2 while most of the Southern Hookers are R1b1 or a variation of that. Ours also shows quite a bit of Ashkenazi Jewish background which was a big surprise for us. They were mainly from Prussia, Germany, England, Poland, etc. I also put his DNA results in a J Haplogroup database and he matches pretty close to some people there but they are all listed by code names. Ok, as to Daniel Hooker's parents... This site explains it all under THE Mary Farr who has been said to be the one married to Jacob Hooker. I am going to give the URL here plus cut and paste what it says. Apparently Mary Farr and Jacob Hooker are the wrong ones. His parents are Mary Farr and Jacob Hooker but they are not as old as the two others are. AND the correct Mary Farr didn't have the same parents. Her parents are a different Stephen Farr (again born later) and a Sarah Bennett...not Mary Taylor. But this will explain it better. Citation Detail: Ancestors of Winslow Farr Sr. and Olive Hovey Freeman Date: 23 Nov 2006 Notes: Apparently, the wrong Mary Farr has been listed as the one who married Jacob Hooker. Actual text: Mary FARR was born on 4 May 1686 in Billerica, Middlesex, Massachusetts, USA.162 She died on 23 Jun 1748 in Littleton, Middlesex, Massachusetts, USA.607 The IGI and many other sources, incorrectly have this Mary Farr as the wife of Jacob Hooker. Sinnett in his book, "The Farr Genealogy", uses a Middlesex County, Massachusetts's land deed, dated 1766, incorrectly to support her as the wife of Jacob Hooker. Using the dates from the land deeds, this Stephen Farr would have to be about 125 years old. However, there could be a Jacob Hooker from an earlier time that could be confusing the matter. Mary, that married Jacob Hooker, would be the daughter of Stephen Farr b. abt 1710 and Sarah Bennett b. 1708/9. Mary Farr (the wrong one) probably married abt 1712, Samuel Corey b. 20 Sep 1691 Chelmsford, Middlesex, Massachusetts. They had the following children: Samuel b. 25 Feb 1714/15, Samuel b. 30 Aug 1717, Mary b. 2 Apr 1720, Stephen b. 25 Mar 1723, Elizabeth b. 13 Feb 1725, and Oliver b. 21 Aug 1729. Samuel Corey was appointed guardian of John Farr's children in 1724. Record of Mary being a child in this family found in Concord Reg. births, marriages and deaths of Middlesex County reference # US/CAN 974.44/C4 v2c. Mary's Headstone Inscription: Mary Corey, the wife of Left Samuel Corey Desest the 28th day of June 1748 aged aboute 62 years Parents: Stephen FARR and Mary TAYLOR. Spouse: Samuel COREY and Mary FARR were married about 1712 of Stow, Middlesex, Massachusetts, USA. Web address: http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Bluffs/2806/index4.htm This is the actual page for Mary Farr (there are quite a few of them). She was the one that was believed to be Daniel's mother but is not. It repeats the above. Everything is sourced very well. http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Bluffs/2806/b18.htm#P141 And, as to Daniel, I found a copy of the original birth records for Littleton, MA that show him being born there. So I am trying to find more info on this newer Mary Farr and her mother Sarah Bennett. I did find the newer Stephen Farr who was born in 1710 and a bit of info on Sarah.

I found an e-mail from you about the finding the century that someone is connected. There is one site - which I cannot find again - where it tells how to tell the century by the # by which one is separated. I think when Tony and Tom first found thisinfo on their matches one of them told me, but I also read it on one of the DNA sites. Maureen, I never got the first post you sent to this list but saw it below on Linda's post. Most CT Hookers are from Rev Thomas aren't they. That line is well documented in books, etc. Celeste --- Linda Lathrop <linda.lathrop@yahoo.com> wrote: > Is there a pedigree online anhywhere for Joseph > Hooker's family? > > Does anyone know of one? > > Linda Lathrop > > > > The reason it's mostly southerners that query on the > list is because the > northern families are very well documented.

After I sent my last email, I spent several hours doing research and have come up with some new info on Daniel Hooker's parents, Jacob and Mary Farr Hooker. I don't know if it is known or not but it is news to me. If anyone is interested, let me know. Linda Lathrop nee Hooker

As I have said in previous posts I believe that my Hooker line, up to this point, goes to Daniel and Mary (Gates) Hooker through their son Stephen . All the records I have seen online show Daniel's father as Jacob Hooker born in Stow MA. I am the Linda who started out looking for Stephen G. Hooker, b. VT in 1824, married to Helen N. Norton and moved to Chicago, IL. My grandfather changed his name from Hooker to Farrell and never told his son, my father, or the rest of his "new" family. My brother and I have traced us back to Stephen G. Hooker and even have contacted our second cousin 1x removed who is almost 80. My brother has had his DNA results done and we are waiting for our cousin's to be done soon. So we want to figure out the Daniel Hooker mystery. I know that there is a big difference in opinion for Daniel Hooker. Some say he is from Germany himself. Some say he is from Littleton, Middlesex County, Mass. This has gone on apparently for a long time. I'd like to know if anyone has any answers or thoughts on this or how to solve this mystery. If Daniel's father is Jacob who was born in Stow, Mass; then how can he be from Germany himself? If Jacog isn't his father, then who is? I think all records I have seen and family trees online that are of this line, show Jacob as being Daniel's father. Some even say that a Matthew is Jacob's father. Perhaps this Matthew is from Germany? I would just like to discuss this with others who are also stuck at this block wall and see if someone has solved it or if we can figure it out together. I would even be willing to start an email list at RootsWeb or Yahoo for those interested to use so we would not take time from others. I hope to hear from the ladies I have heard from before who I bcc'd this email to. My personal email is linda.lathrop@yahoo.com Thanks very much. Linda Lathrop
