Hi Linda-- I have a hunch, and this is all it is--nothing solid to back it up--but here goes. There was a Riverius Hooker bp. 22 Jan 1749 in CT, parents Dr. Daniel and Sarah Webster Hooker (my ancestors). Riverius married an unknown woman, then disappeared, leaving his wife and an infant daughter behind. There is no further information about the wife or daughter. The year he disappeared, a man by the same name appeared in Maine, claiming to have come from CT and that he was in the lumber business. This Riverius m. Mehitable Baker (b. 14 Feb 1755) of Litchfield ME in 1775 at Pownelboro (Wincasset) in Maine. They had a son named Riverius b. 8 Mar 1776. Riverius the First disappeared again, claiming that he had to go to CT, and at about the same time, a Riverius Hooker turned up in a New Hampshire regiment, where he served in the Rev War. The son of Riverius and Mehitable m. Huldah Maynard Cannon (b. 29 Apr 1781) at Litchfield ME, and the couple lived there and later at Gardiner ME. He was the father of 10 children, all b. between 1800 and 1826: Samuel, Riverius, Mehitable, Huldah Ann, Drusilla, Elbridge Gerry, Charles Clapp, Walton Olney, Delia Ann, Emma Jane. Riverius d. 30 Dec 1856, and Mehitable d. 28 Dec 1857. I wonder if there might have been more to this story. Given his record, it would not be surprising if Riverius the First had been responsible for more children than are recorded in the Hooker genealogy. Some of the names and locations you give are so typical of the New England Hookers that they could very well fit into that family somehow.

Many of the Hookers from NY and VT/New Eng descend from the MA/CT Hookers - either Rev Thomas or a distant relative of his, Joseph Hooker, who arrived a few yrs after the Rev. You might look in books having to do with those lines. They moved from New Eng into Newy York and west.

Hi Joyce, I was trying to find an email to let you know that I have all of these census records. But I really do appreciate you sending them anyways. We don't believe or are not sure if Eliza/Stephen is the correct one or not. We have been trying to track that down but can't find any record of Eliza being married to anyone. I suppose she could have had children out of wedlock but that seems not really likely back then. We are at a brick wall and it is very frustrating. I have all info on Stephen Gardner Hooker except his parents. His wife, children, addresses in Chicago, where buried, etc. Census records say his father was born in NY so have been checking that also. Thanks again for taking the time to send those.

Have not posted in a while on the "6 Hooker brothers", all but one b NC between 1777 and the 1780s. Wondered if any new list memebers might have connections to these 6 brothers. Their names were: Thomas (b c 1777 in NC), Wm. (b in the late 1770s in NC), Samuel (b c 1783 in NC), Robert (b c 1786 in NC - he stated b TN sometimes), George (b 1787 in NC) and the youngest John (b 1792 in TN). These brothers were in TN, KY, and AL (early 1800s), and their children and g-children (mid-late 1800s) in AL, MS, LA, AR, and TX. We are finding and documenting their children and g-children in all these states; one or two even went into IN and IL in the mid-late 1800s. This line seems to be related to the line from VA, some of whom left VA and went into Washington Co., TN c 1830 (which includes Charlottes Esom (b VA c 1796) and a John Hooker (b VA 1797) who later went into AL and MS. And might include some earlier Hookers in Clay and Knox Co., KY who went to that area directly from VA before 1830. Anyone who might have connections to the father of Esom and John mentioned above (b in VA in 1796 and 97) - their father was probably the Samuel living in 1820 next to Esom in Patrick Co.,VA or to any of the 6 brothers listed above, please reply. Also, still interested in any early VA Hooker lines. Celeste adellaholly@yahoo.com test'; "> ____________________________________________________________________________________ Need Mail bonding?
