Okay. Also, this Wednesday I am going to a relative's house that has a book about the Hooker family she bought at a reunion one year. Our branch has a family reunion every year in Evart, Michigan. I am going to see if the book has an address that we can write to to order the book. She said it is quite complete, and this I want to see as I have not been able to flush out Jacob Hooker in any place else. I will let everyone know if I can get the book. If you go to http://www.angelfire.com/mi3/hooker/index.html I am building a site about my lineage to the Hooker name, and more.
