    1. Re: General Joe and Henry Hooker
    2. Here is the General's Genealogy. The source is: Homes of the Massachusetts Ancestors of Maj. Gen. Joseph Hooker by Isaac P. Gragg. Published in 1900. I got it from a Dorothy Russell of the Hadley Massachusetts Historical Society in 1987. I am sorry though, with a few exceptions, it is only the direct line of the General. I am sending it here exactly as I received it. I do not know whether the b. stands for birth or baptism. Maybe birth because bapt. is written throughout the transcription. I have done my best to avoid typographical errors and to send it to the list exactly as Mrs. Russell wrote it in her letter to me. Joyce Hooker Wright 1. Joseph Hooker of Wenham, MA m.
