This book below may be what you are looking for, but it does not seem to have much information on the Hookers earlier than the Benjamin mentioned but does have much on that family. it does mention on page 4 that Brainard Hooker's book says that Thomas Hooker of Smith and Rutherford Co. TN and on to IN was the son of Hymerick Hooker and Sallie Lassiter, but this is not true. I do not know who that Thomas was and Hymerick had a son Thomas but he stayed in Greene Co. NC. also the Thomas Hooker in Greene Co. was the son of Hymerick and Elizabeth Phillips. They were married and had at least 2 sons before 1792 mentioned in Elizabeth's father's will and when her mother died in 1807, Elizabeth was still living and a Thomas also listed as Elizabeth's son. Hymerick and Elizabeth had John , William, Thomas, Nathan and Mary. I doubt that if Sallie Lassiter was a wife of Hymerick (he died in 1816) they had any children, or any who lived past infancy. And if they were married late in life, she may have been married first to someone else as she would be about 40 or so in 1807. Most of the DAR applications I have are for children of Sallie Lassiter and Hymerick. 2 for Thomas and one for Mary and just do not see how it can be, or they wouldn't be listed as Elizabeth's children and heirs. They are for service of Jacob Lassiter and I am not even sure that he did more than furnish corn which is good but the applications have him dying during service and believe this to be another Jacob Lassiter with brother Dempsey who received land in TN as Jacob's heir. Dempsey would not have received the land with the children Jacob had. There are several Jacob Lassiter's in the Rev. War and in NE North Carolina. The below book is also at the The TN State Library. I ordered a few pages copied, but as said before almost all are on Benjamin son of Godfrey and his son Benjamin with wife Ann Frizelle.
