An item received from TN State Library and also with one DAR record has this Thomas as the son of Hymerick Hooker and Sallie Lassiter but not so. It list the children of Thomas Hooker born 10 June 1779 and Elizabeth born 4Oct 1783 as: Ruth 1802, Sarah 1804, Samuel 1806, Amey 1808, Thomas 1810, Hannah 1812, John 1814, Carey 1816, Ruben 1818, Eliza 1820, Mary Ann 1822 with full birthdates given. The only one it gives more info on is Samuel. Is this the one you refer to to or is this information all wrong. All I see completely the same is the birthdate.
