Beau, I have information on Zebulon Vance Hooker, born in 1890 in Florida and died in Florida (allegedly) in 1923. He was one of eight children born to William Henry Hooker and wife Mahala Clementine Langford. He had a son by the name of William Calvin Hooker that I am very interested in. I also show a Zebulon Hooker in the 1790 Census of Middlesex County, Mass. Page 152 in Sherburne Town. ID # Mas1a1634629. If your Dads wife was named Patricia or Penny, and was a journalist, I suggest you contact this person ASAP. She may be looking for you and your Dad. A.C.Hance. Fernandina Beach, Amelia Island, Yulee, Florida, USA. Internet address is [email protected] She also has a GEDCOM File that you can download if you are a member of Ancestry .Com. If you are not a member, she may send you the file on her own. If she is not available, or does not get back to you, then please get back to me and I can send you the download which you can save it to a disc. I am quite sure she will answer you right away though. I have been doing Genealogy for nine years now and could give you my opinion as to who your Dads father was but you should read the Gedcom for yourself and then you decide who is who. I believe you will be surprised though. Best regards, Ernie Hooker.
