Dear Stephani, I have Hookers in my family from Texas. They were descended from Thomas Hooker and Sarah Walker of Tennessee. Five brothers came ca. 1840's to Hunt Co., Texas --- James, Walker, Samuel, William, and one other that I will have to look up. Also a sister Charlotte, who is my 3rd great grandmother. James was a founder of Hunt Co. and was at the Secessionist Convention for Texas. All were Confederates. Let me know if you think this is your family. I have quite a bit of info --at least in the 1800's. Diann
